Sweet Sixteen and Never Been Kissed

I'm feeling deep regret for my blog right now: I've put it through such abandonment! Not without reason, of course...life has been crazy in the past month and I'm finally feeling a slight sense of it starting to slow down (at least a little bit, anyway). Yesterday was my 16th birthday. Honestly enough, not that exciting of a day for me...it was a good day, but nothing out of the ordinary. Well, actually there was something a little out of the ordinary...but I'm not going there. Basically I was riding this crazy emotional rollercoaster which made parts of the day a little insane...especially because when it comes to emotions I'm usually just a moderately curved line...not like a line you would see if there was a 9.5 earthquake measured on a Richter scale. I'm not sure if that makes sense to anyone, but it made sense in my mind!

When all was said and done, it was a good but stressful day. Everyone was really kind for some reason...maybe it was because it was the last day of school and they were in a good mood. But it was a nice change! Michelle brought me a donut (which was sweet, literally and figuratively) and Dylan gave me flowers...that he picked off a tree at school. There's a funny story there, but I won't go into detail. And then Evan decided that instead of the birthday bumps he would give me the birthday chokes...so he choked me for 16 seconds. I even had a boy carry my books for me when I was cleaning out my locker, which was very sweet...

So, on to the title of this post. Mr. Weber knew it was my birthday yesterday (because his son's birthday is today) and he came up to me and was like, "So, Erika: sweet sixteen and never been kissed?" What an awkward question for a teacher to ask. But in case any of you really want to know, the answer to that is no. Not on the lips anyway...but in a bunch of other random spots...there are some weird stories there too, come to think of it. Why do so many strange things happen to me? I guess I am just that strange of a person or something.

My parents gave me this cherry red Ovation acoustic guitar...it is beautiful and I love it! And my brothers got me the new Sherwood album, which is awesome and highly reccomended. I wrote my English final today and it actually went pretty well, I think. I'm quite confident that my mark will be good. So school is officially out...seeing as I only have one final left and there's no stressing over that one. Summer is finally here!
