Birthday jitters

If you have been hanging out with me lately, you might have noticed how i am getting all psycho about turning 24 in a couple of weeks.

I hate my birthday, it's always a crappy day and i have the worst memories on it! and when i rule the world i will remove the date 29/4 from the calendar.. that's how much i dislike it!
As if i didn't need any more reason to hate my birthday this year i turn 24, TWENTY-FUCKING-FOUR! which makes me old! yes old! no one says a 24 year old kid, or 24 year old girl, it's 24 year old woman! WOMAN!

I remember in a wedding like 10 years ago they asked all the young people to go get their pictures taken. I saw my second cousin and her husband joining us, she must have been 24 or 25 at the time. I looked at her with surprise and told her very innocently "Sherine, they said young people - why are you here?" - i swear i was dead serious, not trying to be a bitch or anything, i like this cousin.
I also remember looking at the mid-twenties crowd and thinking "man their life must be so boring, they are old - they have no fun"

And now nature has taken its course - and i am part of the friggin crowd!!
I still need more FUN! and damn it i don't feel old! i might look old, but i am not! College was a blast, but the fun can't end
..and it won't!

SO! for my birthday i will do something different! I will live a lie, and pretend it's my sweet sixteen that i wasted smoking shisha in a dodgy café being third wheel to my friend and her boy.

So the plan? DREAMPARK! a day at the amusement park where we will laugh and giggle like teenagers, and scream and get wet like kids and hang out and have a good time.It is the year where i will finally get on that Top Spin and enjoy it and maybe i might even try the Rocket... maybe!

Bring on the roller coasters, car races the angry rivers and all that JAZZ!

28th of April 10 am meeting point at Tahrir Square!
BE THERE or BE SQUARE

Age is a number. Why are you getting all freaked out about it :) Only old people do and old is in your mind! I go to a theme park every year for my bday and when I turn 30 I will go to Disney World :) Don't freak out ... rejoice you made it this far and you have a hell of a long way to go. Maashy? Yella ...

Happy Birthday, Luli. I'm sorry I missed your dreampark excursion...I actually can't physically talk at the moment.

Damn laryngitis.

Not sure what happened. Just woke up this morning and couldn't talk.

I guess it's due to a cold, but this has only happened to me a couple of times in my life, so it's a bit strange.

Hope you had fun at dreampark.

everything is better in your mid twenties. you might have thought that 24 year olds were boring when you were 17, but hey....

for me, the music, drugs, girls, travel, money, friends etc - all turned out to be much better.

pretty much the only thing that was better at 17 was not having to work. the aurora of invincibility was pretty cool too, although slightly exaggerated in hindsight i guess....
