so this is being seventeen

So, here I am, being seventeen. (Does it feel any different? I'm not quite certain. I suppose one could maintain that it feels unusual due to the fact that I was up before six this morning!) I've had a glorious hour revelling in the quiet of early morning and the company of a cat (he came into the bathroom to wish me a happy birthday -- of course his chirruping mew could have just as easily meant "feed me!", but I'd like to think otherwise!) and a book and later some cinnamon toast.


And just now I logged in to check email and ressie_noldo instant-messaged me with this.

I AM GOBSMACKED YOU GUYS.

SERIOUSLY.

YOU ARE TOO MUCH AJHGSDLHGH. ♥ ♥ ♥

(and now I have to go and get dressed and go off and have my day and stuff.)
