Edge Of Seventeen.




Well it appears that my first blog was something of a success and people seem to enjoy my musings :D
excellent.
I might not get to write many blogs in the next month or so, the dreaded and evil yearly exams are almost upon me! And I fear for my life.
Also, my birthday is coming up! September 9th everyone,put that one in your planners, IPhones and calenders. :D
Let me tell you now, the past 4 birthdays I've had,have left much to be desired. Lets take a trip down memory lane and revisit why I look at those birthdays with a strong dislike :D
2005- When I was in year 8, my school held an event called the walkathon. It just had to be my luck that got me stuck with having to walk 20kms on my birthday, while being forced to wear pink as that was the theme for the walkathon, and have to carry around all the gifts my friends gave me.
Basically, God decided to give me the present he knew I would "love" most. Having to exercise to the point of wearing my feet down to bloody stubs, being forced to wear the colour pink and having to carry about 4 bags of gifts.  Happy birthday to me!
2006- Then, when I was in year 9, I was all looking forward to my 15th birthday! I had my party all planned and was mega excited! And then,tragedy struck as on september 7th, I was cut down in the prime of birthday excitement with the flu, the first time I've ever been sick. It hit like lightening,one minute I had a sore throat,then 5 hours I was passed out in bed,where I stayed for the next 6 days. To make matters worse,on the night of september 8th, some of my friends had arranged to go to the circus. THE FREAKING CIRCUS PEOPLE! The first time the circus had come to town in about 10 years,and I had to ring them and cancel. *insert angry face* Woke up on my birthday,sick as a dog,opened my presents, felt like I was going to faint from being out of bed,went back and thats where I stayed. I thought to myself- "come on Brooke! You can do it love! get better in time for your birthday tommorie!". But no dear children. My mental pep talk was nothing in comparison to the power of the deadly flu! Mum had to call all my friends and tell the party was off. I didn't get that party until 2 months later in November. Happy Birthday to me!
2007- This birthday was probably the worst I've ever had. On this day, I woke up,and before Happy Birthday was even said to me, the words I had been dreading since the moment my parents announced that we were moving were spoken- "WE SOLD THE HOUSE".
:O
All day, I sat around moping feeling so upset and angry at everyone that I didn't even stay with my family for birthday cake. I've never felt so sad in my entire life. Cue BIG fight with my parents over my rude behavior and gifts given(which I didn't end up receiving until the end of september) Happy Birthday to me!
2008- Now, dear children, we come to present day, and as I receive my exam timetable for this term, I find that I have to sit through a dreaded religion exam. Not as much as a harsh deal as other birthdays have been.. but still. If I was going to sit through an exam on my 17th birthday, I'd rather sit through art or drama. :D Happy Birthday to me! 
Lets all hope my string of Bad birthday luck breaks next year for my big 18th! Which I might add, falls on the 9.9.09 
I'm so special :D

I'm off chaps, and thankyou ever so for reading :D

im pretty sure we would've said 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROOKA' before we said we'd sold the house..!!! you make us sound like bad parents.. :(((((
And anyway, what about all the good birthdays you' had, like the scary party where poor eddie was scared out of her brain TWICE, once by dad then again by far.. now that was funny.. and all the decorations dad did for it... !!

Once again Brooke you are showing me a special you., very good . I don't agree with all your complaints about your birthday's But they were great any way because they were yours and nobody can take those experiences away from you. Far.
