Thanks to: Everyone who's ever encouraged me to write this, especially idioticonion and roland44.
AN: It's traditional to give presents when someone has a birthday. And it's my birthday today (not a teenager any more!! w00t w00t!!), so this is my present to all y'all. I know it's been a long time coming... blame Marshall for being ridiculous and my muse for being fickle and schizo. I'm not really sure how well this part came out... If this sucks, please don't be afraid to say something. =)

( Three weeks in the making! )

So I'm really lame, because my birthday's tomorrow and I still have no idea what I'm going to do to celebrate it.

I was hoping to go home, which I was super excited about, but I couldn't get anything to work out. Lame. So now I'm stuck on campus with half my friends abroad and with no clue of what to do for my birthday. I'm turning 20, which is kind of a big deal, though not as big as 21.

My staff was awesome tonight and surprised me with cupcakes when they pretended to call me about a surprise last-minute staff meeting (right in the middle of Lost, too). I almost cried because of how awesome they were, and because I'm about 83% sure that that's about as good as my birthday's going to get, since I'm too lame to tell people what I want to do.

There's just too much pressure to do something awesome, which is maybe why I can't come up with anything. That, and I'm lame. At the rate I'm going, I'm probably just going to sit home alone and watch Dollhouse or something. Sigh.

Suggestions, anyone? Because I'd kind of like to do something to celebrate the anniversary of the day I was born, but I'm having kind of a mental block (brought on by stress and insomnia and my general suckitude) on what exactly to do.
