It is my 18th birthday within the next month, an event, which for most people is fairly momentous. I, however, do not feel this way. I do not look forward to my birthday at all. It is a day of the year where everyone wants to put attention on me and focus on everything to do with Alex. On the contrary to what having a blog and acting like a clown would suggest, I do not like attention. I can think of two types of attention which I would particularly like to have on me. These are the attention of a pretty lady and the attention of the England football manager, neither of which have ever been on me, and I doubt either ever will. All other sorts of attention have only negative connotations as far as I am concerned. I can, and will, cope with people feigning interest in me for one day of the year.
In my opinion the worst thing about birthdays is the presents. People spending money they had to work hard to get on me should be a heart warming concept that makes me appreciate all of the friends an family I am blessed with. I do appreciate it, but I don't like it. It's the same as Adele, I'd be a fool to suggest that she isn't talented, but I wouldn't choose to listen to her music. I don't like a fuss made about me, nor do I like money being spent on me. This is why I am particularly frustrated at my little mother ("little" mother implies I have a "big" mother, as far as I'm aware I just have the one). She is, rather cutely, set on getting me something that will last my whole life for my 18th birthday. Her suggestion is a watch. Fine by my, I have wrists, I like to know the time, a watch seems sensible. I would like to quickly draw you back to a point I made in this very blog "nor do I like money being spent on me". This makes the birthday watch idea particularly problematic, you see I've had a minimum spend placed upon my gift. I don't want to be seen as boasting or showing off my telling you how much it is, but I will tell you that it is more money than I would consider a fair deal for Champions League final tickets. That's the only clue you're getting.
There's Patrick's new hair cut. His old hair cut (the silly one) is in a video clip inside my phone, and that is all the way downstairs. I will put it on here soon though, scouts honour.
