Today (what's left of it) is my birthday. Sweet 16... that's what Mum said anyway. I glared at her.

Well, I got $150 and some clothes from my parents, $40 from my grandparents and $30 from WhyteMage (he owed me it anyway). So I'm a little short of $1,000 in total. I was thinking of buying a new laptop, or getting one of those custom-built computers (they're actually cheaper and better than the usual ones, we have one for the family). Or go in a different direction and get a motorbike. I'd probably go for the computer 'cos I've only been on a motorbike once. I'm more familiar with a quad. Anyway, I had to get up early to go to work (yeah, on my birthday!). I work at the local butcher shop. First thing I noticed was that the apprentice had put a message on the 'specials' sign. It read:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY | 16th

SAM

Year 10

All in lots of colours . My boss offered me a lift to school, but I declined because I needed to go back home first. He agreed under the condition that I get to school at ten to nine. Later, when I go to school on my bike at quarter past, I saw him making a delivery to the Home Economics wing. His mouth opened when he saw me riding past. I flipped him off .

Well I have to go now, my cousins are about to arrive for cake.

Bye.
