It's My Birthday! (And Other Life Shenanigans)

Hello, lovely internet people!

I interrupt your regularly scheduled procrastination to bring you this exciting news. So this morning, I woke up like:

And then whilst my alarm clock was in panic mode since I knocked it off the table, I had a little shocked moment of realization.

As of today, I have officially hit the big one-six! That's right. This little blogger is now sixteen going on seventeen. I can finally sing that song from the Sound of Music and have it actually be socially acceptable. Huzzah!

I know you're all wondering how being sixteen is making me feel. If we're being honest, I'm definitely feeling:

Only joking. In all seriousness, I'm having one of those moments where at one time I feel exactly the same age as yesterday, but on the other hand, I can definitely tell I'm not fifteen anymore. I'm feeling old and young at the same time and it's making me uncomfortable.

On another note, I've been asked multiple times today if I'm getting my license yet, and the answer is no, not yet. Reason A being that I just don't feel like I have enough experience during night hours or with the dreaded parallel parking, and Reason B being that I don't exactly have a car of my own at the moment. I "share" a car with my lovely older brother, but he gets first dibs on it since he's older. *violently snorts* I suppose it's only fair, but at the same time I think I should get some slack here because I'm the baby of the family. Can I get a "whoop whoop" my fellow youngest children?

Being sixteen also means that my ban on dating has been lifted. Like a lot of people I know, my parents put the restriction on my that I'm not allowed to date until I turn sixteen. And now that that's happened, I've got some more free reign with the dating department. (Although I believe I'm highly unqualified in making life choices and I'm probably better off exercising my free reign by becoming a dragon wrangler or something.)

And I know you guys. You want to know if there's a chap I'm going after, don't you? *tuts* I suppose it's only fair since I've been MIA for a while now.

*cracks knuckles*

Ahem.

Basically . . .

Alright, alright, maybe it's not quite that bad. But yes, I do like someone. I have no idea what their feelings are for me, but can I just mention that he's got super lovely eyes? Seriously. They're the color of springtime and happy. Can we also just take a minute to appreciate that when he smiles he has a dimple on his cheek? *le swoon* But no more hints about this guy. I'll just say that he's super sweet and I'm loving the fact that he's nerdy like I am.

I solemnly swear that I will be back to a regular posting schedule starting on next week Monday, as it is Christmas break. Yay! Since we've bounced to that topic, what is your family doing for the holidays? Even if you don't celebrate Christmas necessarily, I hope you and your loved ones have a lovely time just hanging out together and eating an inhuman amount of yummy things.

Cheers to me being sixteen and Christmas being next week!

Love,
A Sixteen-Year-Old Seana
