I just had a wonderful birthday. Why? Because the friends I celebrated with were great people. Truly magnificent people. They're not my back home friends, but at this moment, I didn't care, because they made my birthday spectacular. My host parents even cooked my a special dinner and bought cake and Berthillon ice cream, and got me flowers, and my parents sent me flowers (wow! not typical for them), and my friends treated me to everything... I was so touched. These people I was with today, they were all spectacular and fun and made me so happy. I don't care about my sickness, the cold, the fact that EVERYONE was sick or on vacation or studying for finals. All I care about was that in the end, I was truly blessed, and happy, and I will now go to sleep at 3am with happy happy thoughts of strawberry shots, meeting more random French guys, falafel, cake, chilling with friends, discussing boys, a-sexuality, wearing the pants, asses, boobs, and all that's in between...
really, that's all. i just wanted to confess to the world how content i am at this moment. thank you everyone for calls and emails and facebooking and hanging out. je vous aime vraiment. ahhhhhhhh ok je suis fatiguee, je dois dormir! (i love you all truly. ahhh ok i'm tired, i should sleep!)
i'm 21, wooooooooah

Hi Orly! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I am so happy to have read all this because I know how much your Los Angeles friends mean to you but that this new sort of birthday with a new sort of group was completely satisfying in such a different way. Hurray for you! I'm really really sorry I couldn't be there, but I will make it up to you soon - promise.
bisous,
inci

It totally is about the people, isn't it? Nothing like someone who cares. I care...I'm glad you're happy.
