February brings the rain, thaws the frozen lake again.

You're probably wondering why I titled this entry the way I did. Well, I did so because I pretty much only updated once for the month of January, and yet so much has happened. But January is already coming to an end...and it's leading to my favorite month...yeah, that's right, my birth month!

My birthday is in about 3 weeks, and to be honest, I'm kinda excited. Although it's just another year added onto the 18 I've already attained..I still can't help but be hopeful.
I also plan on taking a new approach this year. I don't plan on telling anyone about my birthday, until the day it comes. Some people like to dress up, or look even better than what they normally look like, but for me, I don't want to do any of that. I don't want to announce it, I don't want to dress up...nothing. I don't even want anything (although I asked my dad if he would get me a guitar or an XBOX 360, and he said he'd think about it).

It might sound crazy, but maybe that's just me. I don't feel the hype as opposed to other people who want to "party it up", or want something new. I have everything that I want. I have an amazing boyfriend, even more amazing friends, and I've never been much of a materialistic girl. Some people (and from past experiences) want to have a huge celebration, but it turns out to be a major fail, and they're left wondering who their true friends are, and an emotional mess.

I'd rather skip all that mess, and just celebrate it by myself. It may sound miserable, but it really isn't. As long as I'm able to look up at the sky, and whisper a silent thank-you to God for making it through another year, that's all the celebration I need.

Ahh, I'm sneeking in this post as I'm about to start class. I'll be back soon!
