I am not exactly looking forward to spending my birthday here in Chile. We are having a barbecue, but it still doesn't feel right. The last 4 or so of my birthdays have been spent at my parents house in the backyard. My friends and I would sit around a fire hanging out having a good time. Occasionally going out to the woods to play night games. OR always truth or dare by the fire. As I have gotten older the parties have been a bit more fun with the added effect of alcohol. I am still underage in the US. But you know how it is. I usually had at least one bottle of Captain Morgan hidden in my closet along with a case of beer or who knows what else. There was also a time when I just stole a bottle of Captain from the parents cabinet, they never noticed!! Our other ways of getting alcohol was to just take half the bottle, then when we put it back fill it with water. This however was like kicking yourself in the butt because you always had to think about how you ruined/wasted half a bottle of rum!! Anyways, I wanna say thanks to all my buddies back in the US that sat around getting wasted with me!! I love you guys and I miss you more than you can even imagine!! This year's party will consist of no real-can-finish-your-sentence-friends. My guests will be Chileans, all of them.... Either my work mates, Rodrigo's friends aka The Team, (they are my friends too except we can't really communicate) and the Bozeman group. The Bozeman group are a few people that were in Bozeman Montana when I was living and working there. Also where I met Rodrigo. The cake will probably be something so sweet that I won't even like it. I don't know what is wrong with me, all the cakes that I have had here taste to me like they have been drowned in liquid sugar!! I mean I like that they are moist, but the sweetness kills me!! A normal chocolate cake with a can of betty crocker chocolate chocolate chip frosting suits me fine! It should be a fun night, but I know at the same time I will be thinking about my friends back home all night long. Which is why I will be buying at least two phone cards so that when I am drunk I can call them and most likely end up crying to them on the phone! Sorry girls!! I am definitely not in the Birthday mood! I am stuck in this right after xmas theres a long winter ahead kind of mood. I guess I don't know what I need to get out of it. It would probably help if my boss would tell me when I get to go to the US! I have been informed not to worry about anything. Also that I probably won't even know til a week before I travel. Thank you for helping me out you bastard!!! Whats the point of going home when I can't plan anything!! Anyways the rum and chicken on the grill should be nice. Well at least it should put me in a better mood. I just wish I had a nice big bag of Cool Ranch Doritos to eat. A plate of fried sunfish would be nice too.
