It’s my Birthday!

I was so excited. Sixteen years ago today was the most important day in the history of the world. Well, maybe not for everyone else but it was a pretty important day to me. To celebrate it I had to go to school. Yeah, I know that sucks and while no one would fault me for ditching school on my birthday I decided to go anyway. I'm not really the type to act outside the box.

Of course no one wishes me a happy birthday because no one knows but that's okay. I wake up early and make myself some bacon and eggs. Add a glass of orange juice and it's perfect. I have to make sure my birthday is perfect. It's not like any one else cares it's my birthday. I get through school without incident and after school I take myself bowling. I've been bowling for several years and there's nothing more thrilling than rolling a 16 pound ball down the lane and watching all 10 pins go down in one shot.

After bowling I go home and make myself a burger with sauteed onions and mushrooms. Sure, I have parents and a sister but they are no where to be found. I don't care though because I'm in heaven. After having a piece of ice cream cake with bits of Andy's Mints on it my birthday is complete. My birthday was perfect. I did not need to spend it with anyone. I did just what I wanted.
