You're Not A Teenager, So Don't Act Like One


*picture from my 19th bday - celebrated at lunch in the dance room
Yes, its true I am no longer a teenager, but probably still acting like one (Camera Obscura). TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!!! I'm freaking 20 years old. 20! It is strange, I feel all grown up now - but it really hasn't hit me. I will probably forget still tell people that I'm 19 because 20 sounds old and I'm just used to saying teen.
My birthday has been dragged out because in the end of April my friends had a birthday party for me and another may baby, since we wouldn't be there for it. Last night I met up for coffee with my home friends and they all baked me something :) love them. Today I had work from 11-2 icing cakes. Unknowingly my mom called my bosses and told them it was my birthday because she knew I was to shy to tell them. They were so sweet and gave me some flowers. Then I got a pedicure, then sushi with the parents... and I'm still having a little fiesta for my bffs next week. This is starting to sound all "dear diary" but it really was a cute day :) yay to being 20!

Happy birthday. I'm nearly 21 and it never actully hit me that I'm 20. In fact I called myself twenteen, so I could drag my teen years a little longer. Your wishlist is great - I love the key necklace at the top.

Happy, Happy Birthday!

I think I'll take everything featured here. Especially that key necklace, and the divine bow dress next to it. Glitter!

I hope someone bakes you a big pretty cake for your birthday!:)

Happy Birthday!!

I LOVE those YSL shoes, and if you haven't, you have to get the Yeah Yeah Yeahs album. It's amazing. It's all I listen to right now.

She sounds very Siouxsie Sioux on some of the songs.
