I opened the few presents my parents had and I got a 'Sharp Roku' TV, a red night stand (for beside my bed), a pair of sparkly gold slide shoes, a pair of clear sparkly sort of combat type looking boots, and a cute long Dachshund looking dog that has reversible red and silver sequins all over it. And I got a $20 pack of lottery scratch tickets from my parents too. I sure wasn't expecting a TV but it sure is nice. My dad got it set up in my room earlier today and it's cool. It does 'Netflix', 'Apple TV', 'YouTube', etc.. It makes it a lot easier to watch things like that. The TV that was in the room (my older sister's room previously) was okay but it didn't allow an 'Apple TV' to be hooked up I guess. I never asked for a new TV so this was a surprise.
After I opened my presents and my dad was finishing setting up the TV upstairs I sort of felt like I wanted to let out what I've been keeping in and I told my mom after she had said a few times that she hoped I liked what they got me and I later said I would have told her what I would have liked but I didn't want to worry her and I was crying. I said I would like to see Taylor's concert but I didn't want to worry her about it. And I said if I get the job for this summer I would like to go. I didn't want her to worry about it as she sort of got dismissive or weird like she normally would if I ask for something like this. But I was crying because I don't want them to worry about things but I've been holding this worry in for a while and they probably had no idea I wanted to see her tour. I said I'd rather see Taylor's tour if I had to choose between hers and Harry Styles's as I've never missed a tour of Taylor's. I wish things would turn around and I could see Taylor's tour and/or Harry's tour this summer. She said not to tell my dad about it (yet) so I didn't. But I had to let it out to my mom. Stupid me, I thought it could have been a present of mine to see her tour as one night a few weeks ago my parents were whispering in the kitchen and my mom said something about "what days" and I wrongly got my hopes up. I guess this was in relation to the TV maybe and a sale that was going on for it...

Today I woke up at about 10 AM and I opened my presents and my mom and I went to a few stores this afternoon to look around and I wanted to look at 'Michael's' as I like to wear something that says it's my birthday (like a badge) but I couldn't find one as usual (there's no stores to choose from where I live and no specific party store here) and I looked at stuff for my 'World Of The Dinosaurs' poster assignment too and got some supplies for it. Then we went home and my parents and I went to supper at a restaurant called 'The Keg' and we got home about 30 minutes ago. I love their 'Billly Miner Pie' and you get it free if it's your birthday. We got two as I wanted one to myself haha. Now we're going to go bowling for a few hours tonight (we're going soon).\
It felt like a normal day (not special like i'm using to feeling on my birthday as I don't have friends to care about my birthday like my parents do) and it didn't really feel like St. Patrick's Day for some reason...I don't really feel different...

It would be a shame to go to all but one of her tours, but at least you’ve been to all of them before now. If you’re meant to go to the tour it’ll work out I hate that her tour is so expensive, plus I think you said you would have to travel  it’s really not fair. But don’t worry too much about it, it’ll be okay it’s good that you got it off your chest, it wasn’t stupid of you. It sounds like you did get some cool stuff, I hope you enjoyed your birthday |

I think I had a pretty good birthday. At least it was more interesting than last year. I enjoyed going bowling. We got home about an hour ago. And this time they actually played new songs (with the matching music videos) on the monitors and over the speakers, and about 30 minutes in they had something on the screen about an app called 'MyJam' where you could request music videos for them to play and it worked! But it annoyingly costed money to request songs. It was about $4 for 6 songs. And I ended up requesting 12 songs. This was my list of songs I requested: - 'Slow Hands' by Niall Horan
- 'Delicate' by Taylor Swift
- 'Kiwi' by Harry Styles
- 'Hello' by Hedley
- 'Yours If You Want It' by Rascal Flatts
- 'Just Hold On' by Louis Tomlinson & Steve Aoki
- 'Get Low' by Liam Payne & Zedd
- 'Perfect' by One Direction
- 'What Was I Thinking' by Dierks Bentley
- 'Cruise' by Florida Georgia Line
- 'Whatever It Takes' by Imagine Dragons
- 'Galway Girl' by Ed Sheeran
They annoyingly didn't allow you to play the same artist so long after they were already played, so I didn't get to request Taylor or Harry or Niall or One Direction, etc. more than once. I think my parents had fun too bowling. I think I won most of the games and I got a few strikes and some spares. But I started doing worse near the end sort of. My fingers were starting to hurt. My university student card has a sticker on it that gives you discounts for things and one of them is to buy one hour of bowling and get an hour free at our local bowling alley so we bowled for two hours. It was good as we usually only have bowled for one hour and it didn't feel like it was enough, but with two hours it feels like you got enough out of it. We were getting tired or tired of it a little bit. |

It sounds like you did get some cool stuff, I hope you enjoyed your birthday Thank you, Reagan. I'm trying to think positively but it's hard to. If I get this summer job it would help me pay for things but it probably wouldn't really cover three trips or two trips. Especially considering how pathetic the Canadian dollar is and has been for the past few years, and it's even lowering lately.  It would be so nice if the Canadian dollar started going up soon and got around to being par with the American dollar... I thought that going to Minneapolis would be the best place for Taylor's, Harry's, and Niall's tour, but going to Toronto reduces having to worry about the stupid American dollar in which it costs more when you pay for things that are in U.S. dollars as it means it will cost more in Canadian dollars when the Canadian dollar is low like it is currently. I just despise Toronto for getting all the concerts, which p*sses me off. |

Some people wished me a happy birthday today too. I think about 11 people (mostly family and family friends) posted on my 'Facebook' page for my birthday. Some people didn't who I thought would but oh well. And I sort of wore a birthday badge sparingly during the day but not very often where people saw it so when we were in stores I didn't have it on yet as I didn't have one yet. When I had to go to the walk-in doctor this morning to get a refill for my prescription pills the woman at the desk seemed snotty and didn't even really say hello or asked for my birthday or anything and I said "March 17th 1998" and it was like it didn't even register in her head that it was today (or yesterday now). I should have said "Today, 1998". My mom was even sitting in one of the chairs and after I said my birthday my mom said "Today!" out loud sort of and the woman didn't say anything.
And at the restaurant we ate at, the girl who was our waiter said happy birthday to me after we had paid as we asked about their 'Billy Miner Pie' as you get one free if it's your birthday and my dad said it was my birthday.
And I posted that it was my birthday on 'Tumblr' and 'The Swift Life', and on 'Tumblr' maybe about 5-10 people said happy birthday I think. And I got like 1,000 notifications for different things like people saying happy birthday or swiftsending my post on 'The Swift Life' I think. So that was nice. No post/response from Taylor on either app but oh well haha. And no response on 'Twitter' either where I said it was my birthday and directed it to the four members of One Direction.
My older sister posted on my 'Facebook' page with a short post and said "I love you" in it which is shocking. And she sent videos of her and a friend and her boyfriend/fiance saying happy birthday to me. She must be drunk now lol.

Oh and when my mom and I were looking in 'Michael's', I heard 'Seventeen' by Alessia Cara as it was played over the speakers, and it was really weird. Before I had a shower in the morning (yesterday now), I actually quickly thought of this particular song and I thought about how it's sad that 17 was already 3 years ago for me. And it's weird how I heard it in 'Michael's' when I was in there later in the day. I sort of got chills a little when I heard it in the store... |

it’s really not fair. But don’t worry too much about it, it’ll be okay
