For Sarah, Maggie, Kathleen, and Emmalyn

ok so i realize that i have given you guys a bit of a hard time over this whole birthday thing...actually thats probably an understatement

so i decided to throw you kids a bone

so here is a little list of likes/dislikes :)
*i prefer to have an ethnically diverse cake-chocolate with white icing, strawberry with chocolate icing, white with strawberry...you get the idea
*i really like meaningful over practical
*all i really care about on my birthday is being with friends...any friends...as few or as many as will come...that is really the most important thing
*i dont like jewelry
*surprises are fun...no matter how much i deny it
*i like chapstick
*i like tshirts
*i like cherry coke
*i like books...but not fiction
*i like ice cream
*music, especially stuff not many people know about, makes me happy
*just say no to flowers
*balloons are better than flowers and cats but...not much higher than that
*peanuts are also a negatory...but i know you guys know that
*where is that picture of me and kathleen?
*i like colorful socks
*if it must be a practical gift...i like the as seen on tv gadgets
*please no more journals...i have 5 currently
*i dont like spicy
*oct would be a perfectly acceptable gift
*i dont like just plain chocolate

ok so i may add more to this later...but this is at least a start...i have no idea what you guys have up your sleeves and in this particular raw honest moment...im kind of excited about it

thank you guys so much for being such fantastic friends...i do really stupid things and you still love me and show it...you encourage me and support me and always include me even when you dont have to...thanks for wanting to make my first real birthday away from home a great one...despite all my stubborness about it :)
