it’s another time in my life for an important birthday- eighteen. it’s the year when people frequently use the phrase “i’m legal”, complain about their first jury duty call, and most importantly, vote. i’m having a hard time grasping the concept that i am now considered an adult. yesterday i was just a kid! it’s so weird how it changes overnight…i can’t decide if i like it or not.

last night was the closing night of our school musical- seussical. if you know the show, i played the awkward bird gertrude who falls in love with horton the elephant. it was such a fun character! anyways, after strike (when you take down the set) everyone came to my house for a cast party. we had a dance party in my basement and danced to “wannabe” by the spice girls at the turn of my birthday…a song that my friends and i were all obsessed with when we were little. after most people left, some of my best friends stuck around, and we listened to songs from our childhood. the artists included a*teens, backstreet boys, brittney spears, n*sync, steps, s club 7, christina aguilera, dream, nobodys angel, hilary duff, avril lavigne, b*witched, spice girls, and many others. (ps…what was up with the * trend? i have never realized that before!)

its sad to think that my life as a kid is technically over, but we all know that im still a kid at heart. i cannot wait for the next presidential election where i will make my voice heard and vote for my favorite candidate. my seventeenth year was more than i can ever ask for- recording my first cd, being chosen for a reality tv show (crashcourse), having my first tv interview, opening my own website…it’s absolutely crazy to think about! i cannot wait to see what my eighteenth year brings!
