A hug. It's something only you can give, and a lot of times people who have "everything" have it at the cost of building up their personal relationships.
That said, no one knows what to get me for my birthday, because I have everything and need nothing. This is kind of depressing.
Told my boyfriend to get me one of the nailpolishes from Claire's that has three colors in it. It seems like it would come out looking like crap, but I really want one for some reason.
OMG MY BIRTHDAY IS SO SOON CRAP
DNW TO BE 22 :(

Today was my nineteenth birthday. I didn't get nearly as many presents as I have in years past, but that's okay. I bought myself a vintage/used bangle in Ybor (where my parents took me + boyfriend) and three necklaces in a Claire's down there. I'm telling you, no matter where I am as long as there's a Claire's I'm happy. It's weird, but I walk into one and I feel an immense sense of peace, like the way religious people feel when they go to church or something. Yeah, I'm weird.
My grandparents gave me a cookbook and a Beatles book that I (surprisingly!) didn't already have. They were really pleased about that, although now my grandmother expects me to cook. Oh dear.
I also got a perfume gift set. I'm horribly allergic- well not really allergic, but I get the worst freaking migraines from most perfumes. It's really horrible because sometimes I can't even be near someone wearing perfume or cologne, and very very horrible because I love scents. I treasure my sense of smell immensely. I can often identify people by their scent or guess what someone smells like before I get close enough to smell them.
BUT.
Somehow, through all of her sluttifying and babymaking and cheetos-eating, Britney Spears managed to make perfumes I can actually tolerate... and that I actually like.
I adore Curious (and wore it daily last year) and when she came out with a modification of it (called In Control) I loved it too. And today I got a gift set!
A huge black bottle with an In Control charm thing and one of those old-fashioned spray thingies. A rather large lipgloss that smells like white cake and butterscotch and has glitter (it's called Wild Side). A scented lotion. And a pink jewelry box that has a removable inner container with space for lots of rings, a thing for earrings, a "secret compartment" and some general space. And you can take it out and fold it up and snap it closed and carry it around! And the jewelry box has a mirror in it too.
I consider it to be one of the best birthday presents ever ever ever.
So while we were in Ybor, we were wandering around and saw CHALK WRITING. I got three pictures of three Jacob Christiano chalk writings. That was pretty cool.
And then I had steak at an Outback. Sometimes a girl just has to eat animal flesh, you know? I know, I'm horrible.
My boyfriend gave me a tiny teddy bear. <33 (More presents pending, of course. My boyfriend is not cheap :D)
I have to say, right now, that he is the absolutely most perfect person in the entire world ever. And he likes my new perfume. (Note to self: stop sniffing self. It's weird.)
It was a rather uneventful birthday as birthdays go, but I think things went pretty well.
My mother says another present is coming in the mail, so that's pretty cool.
I'll post the Jacob Christiano pictures up sometime next week. I was in such a hurry to take pictures of them I forgot to even read them, heh. But it's still cool to see some of his stuff on my birthday. I wasn't expecting that.
I hope you all had lovely Thanksgivings.
Birthday love from,

This is the set I got. http://www.amazon.com/Curious-Britney-Spears-Control-Holiday/dp/B000JLHPBC
I have no idea why the picture is so small.
I'd like to think the one my mother bought was cheaper than that. I certainly hope so!

I went out and spent some of my birthday money today (the rest of any money I have is going to college expenses) and I'm pleased with what I bought. I also went shopping last night.
I don't really like shopping. The sound you just heard was 293772327 thousand women simultaneously dropping into a dead faint, but it's the truth. I don't like looking at things I can't have, and I don't like looking at things I can have and I don't want, and I hate trying things on, and I hate looking at skinny models, and I hate temptation, and I hate shopping for other people when I can't figure out what to get them.
I can't stand bumping into people, and I can't stand waiting on lines.
It's worth it when I get stuff though. :) Last night I bought two bracelets from Claire's with the last of my gift card from last year (What? I hold on to my money, lol). Today I got two from some store called "Rainbow" and another one from the dollar store (one day I'll take a picture of all of my bracelets, so you can see why I need some sort of pyschiatric help.) I got a new pair of jeans (they came with a belt, too) and a Beatles shirt. I also bought the presents for El Boyfriend, which was the point of these two shopping trips.
I just wanted to talk about my new bracelets. I also made two new ones.
Oh, and I got sea-green fishnets.
K, end of extremely pointless entry. :)
