Sweet sixteen and seventeen. Oh, how my sweetness is about to come to an end.

In one week- I'll be eighteen.

Not that turning from minor to major adult is bad or anything. It's great actually. I get freedomand the end of high school. Oh yeah. It's just the day that sucks. I take that back- itsa pain in the ass.

Now why is that Suze?

It's because nothing ever turns out right on my birthdays. One person ends up forgetting, a close member can't make it, you end up all pissed off at anyone who sings 'happy birthday', and there is going to be at least someone, or something, that ruins the rest of your day by trying to take your guts out the anniversary of your birth.

I mean, come on, what's going to be so different about this one?

Then again, I'm spending the big one eight in not even my home state- I turn an adult in sunny Carmel, California and not in the busy streets of New York with my best friend Gina, who has sadly been left behind. Instead I celebrate with my mom and my step-dad Andy, my Cali friends CeeCee and Adam (their the good part), as well as with Sleepy, Dopey, and Doc.

And where's the other four of Snow White's Dwarfs?

Wait. I don't want four more stepbrothers. Well, Doc isn't that bad, it's the other two that bug the hell out of me...

Okay, getting off topic here.

But the best thing of all?

Let's see..olive skin, deep black curly hair, six foot, Latino, and has the best killer abs I have ever seen in my life. The best thing of all is that he can spend it with me for real. My Jesse, alive and breathing, here with me.

As long as he is here, everything will be looked upon the bright side.

Now what could go wrong with that?
