Yes, it was my birthday on Saturday. I woke up at 7, after 5 hours of sleep (I got to bed at 2 at night, sorry, in the morning). I stumbled out of bed to be met with my sister, 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY'. gggaaaaarrrrggghhhh. My head spinning like one to many rides on a walsa, I went downstairs. I opened the few Birthday cards I had, and the odd present. A shower Radio, wow, thanks. Oh but one thing....I don't have a shower (I mean, we only have a bath, I don't mean I don't wash). Well at least I got a Skateboard. After 5 minutes of trying my damnedist, I couldn't even go forward, never mind kick-flip, like I had performed so many times on Tony Hawk. So, a little dissapointed that I would actually have to put some effort in if I wanted to be the next Birdman (Tony Hawk), I thought I'd try the post, see If Breath of Fire had turned up, after all, do what you're best at. It hadn't, I rang SR up, none in stock. I think I'd been told by one of the staff earlier in the week that they weren't getting any in until the 14th. I thought he was joking, that it would come on the saturday and I'd laugh at his little prank. oh well. Then, I opened the rest of my cards. I opened one from my gran. It was nice sum of money (makes a change from the usual fivers). Oh, thanks. I thought to myself, if I can't get GCube for X-mas, I'll buy it with this money. Then I was told, It's for your driving lesson, today, at 11. WTF! Yeah, it was at 2, but he moved it. I rushed to the kettle, as fast as my intoxicated legs would carry me, filled it to the top, and then put every last bean of coffee we had in a big mug. 11 came, went on my lesson, not bad. One problem, I've come to the stark realisation I can't steer. After years of joypads, a steering wheel is a strange thing. What's worse, I can't turn corners. We got to a T-junction, and, well, I peed a lot of people off, (well, I'd be alright on a motorway!)! So, I got back, aahhh, a can have a nice rest. What, I have to ring everyone that sent me a fiver for my Birthday and thank them! That could take hours. "Do it", bellowed my mums voice. Alright. about 5 hours later (ok, not 5, but close), I was also told my cousins would be sleeping 2nite, IN MY ROOM. An early night then. Oh why didn't Breath of Fire come, I could have played it in bed. And 10 o'clock, I had to go to bed at 10.
*SOB*.
