It was my birthday yesterday! Just so you know, the members of my family aren’t big on presents. We don’t really get each other stuff or expect presents. We just ate out as a family for dinner.
I’m 19 years old. I had to update all my networking profiles and various internet spaces to reflect my current age… thanks Sebby for pointing out all the ones I’d missed. 
It’s Lilian’s and Tiffany’s birthday today. Yep – they both share the same birthday. (Lilian is 19 and Tiffany is 20.)
Lilian wrote a dedication blog to me so I sort of owe her one back. I talk about her all the time in my blog posts but in case you still haven’t got a drop of idea about how awesome she is, she is very, very awesome. We’ve been best friends for seven years – or more – my counting is shitty and I’ve always been bad at maths.
We’re “twins”. We have birthdays a day apart and have a lot in common! But to be honest I find that over the years, we’ve found that we disagree on more things and we have a lot of differences as well.
I’ve always gone by this “chalk and cheese” notion – to put it less metaphorically – “opposites attract”. Other than the obvious opposing of magnets being stuck together, I find it fair to say that if you have a lot of differences with someone, you tend to have more to talk about.
I wouldn’t really like a friend who is a complete clone of me.
For one thing, I don’t think anyone would be able to stand another person like me, considering I am a really hyperactive person who obsesses over random things. I’m pretty sure if I were a friend of mine, I wouldn’t be able to stand myself. 
I find that having more differences with a person means that you have an interesting relationship, because not only do you have a variety of differences and things to discuss, but by that person being your friend, you learn to respect and accept those differences that you have.
Do wish Lilian a happy birthday! 
She’s younger than me by a day. 8D I’m pretty sure she still has that really stupid birthday card I made for her back in high school. It was made of ugly pink-red paper (pink is her favourite colour!) and there was a big red faux gemstone in the middle of it. Yeah, that was my idea of being creative. LOL.
Also, happy birthday to Tiffany! She’s one of my closest friends online; if I feel like shit I can always send her an email no matter how angry I am. She’s always there to understand the things I complain about, especially when it comes to web design. We opened Skeletons MB together. 
She’s a really hardworking and talented person and she’s got everything going for her in life. She just finished her finals so drop by her website and wish her a happy 20th birthday! 
Right, I’m out, I’ve been unproductive.
Oh wait. I invite you to check out Celestine.me, my new personal portfolio. It used to be at enchanted.nu a while back but I have since sold that domain and made a new portfolio.
I suck when it comes to remembering things.

stares.
:B
I always over react and yell at my best friend, then she gets all mad, and once, she betray me. ;( she told me she never would talk behind my back, but she did…

Georgieeeee!
We’re both NINETEEN
I’m so amazed! And we’ve known each other since we were 11. I think we were 11. Were we 11 when we started highschool? I think we were! LOL 
Hahaha your family is like my family. My parents just gave me money because they can’t think of what to get me because I have so much crap! We ate out too ^^ I hope your eat-out outing was fun! LOL.
Oh crap. I forgot to update my blog. Oh well! Next time
I’m glad you remember though 
And that Seb helped you ^^ You have so many sites and stuff, that must have been EPIC 
Ohhh! Happy Birthday to Tiffany. Oh dear I had better go to her site and say happy birthday
LOL, even though I’m late.
Hahaha! You’re not bad at maths, silly! It’s hard to count years because birthdays make it confusing. I mean since we met each other in year 7 and we’re now in second year uni, which is practically year 14, if you subtract 7 from 14, you get 7, but we have to add 1 to that because my ACST tutor said so for when we were calculating how long a loan lasts for. So it’s 8 years? Omg, I have to work this out on my fingers. LOL looks like we both suck at maths!
I love being “twins” with you
And you are so totally right! We’re different in LOTS of ways which is good because opposites attract, but sometimes, we are SCARILY similar, which is cool! Like not identical similar, but kind of like in the way we think. Like when we rant about our parents and stuff we can totally understand because we’re similar like that! And like when we do those weird twin things, eg. *GUYS!*
And how when we have conversations where every second word is ‘THING’ which is code for something else, we can still totally understand. I LOVE THAT!
But yeah, we’re getting more and more different, but I think that it’s better that way because now we have lots and LOTS of other things to talk about ^^ YAY
OMG, having a friend who is an exact clone of yourself. That would totally be like talking to yourself! You’d have a mental condition without knowing it!
If I had a clone of myself, I’d hate her, because I think that we’re all our own toughest critics, and I hate so many things about myself (in a non-emo way
) if those qualities were projected into someone else, I’d be committing murder.
YES! I STILL HAVE THAT CARD! It wasn’t stupid! IT WAS AWESOME! I LOVED IT! I kept ALL the cards you gave me in highschool
Cos they’re all special! Haha and I’m just a massive hoarder!
But thank you for the birthday blog *hugs*
Hehehehe!
It’s so cool how Tiffany has the same birthday as me!
Skeletonsmb is awesome! 
I must go on as soon as exams are over 
And I love the layout and colour scheme from Celestine.me!
PRETTY FLOWERS! ^^

LOL, were we 11? I thought we were 12… no wait, we turned 12. Holy shit, I just spooked myself out! Well, you did.
And soon we’ll be 20… right, let’s not go there…
You didn’t write a post on your birthday! But then again, neither did I. I didn’t even write on your birthday because I backdated this post by four minutes or something. Bad me.
LOL, I’m pretty sure there are some of my domains that need to be fixed. Age is just a number though; I should just stick with “university student”, since people could visit my “about me” page if they wanted to know what age I actually am.
I think Tiffany’s partying or something; she totally hasn’t replied to my emails yet!
Oh, I have a funny story. When I was a kid, I used to forget my age. No joke. I didn’t quite grasp that “age” means “how old you are in years”. My parents told me, “You turned 7 today! Yay!”
But when my birthday rolled around the next year, I would forget. I know, it’s silly, I forgot my age…! But that was as a kid. It’s the same way people get confused with years. I found myself writing “2009″ on my portfolio. My gosh, I think we all fail at that at some point.
Maths is so complicated on so many levels! It gets too complicated. I think by the time I got to circle geometry I forgot how to add. That’s how complicated it is! Embarrassingly enough, I still can’t do 7+8 or 5+9 without counting on my fingers.
It always happens with one-digit sums where the result is more than 10. I can add 7+3 easy… that’s what I mean. LOL.
Sometimes we say the same thing too. How hilarious. But we have secret code too. Like you said… *guys*!
I’m laughing out loud reading this comment. Thank goodness I’m at home. If I was at uni, people would think I’m odd.
I know I would think myself insane! I find myself needing to be kept sane with my friends around. It would be terrible having to deal with my own self as a separate body… let’s not go there; it’s a scary thought.
I have ALL my Christmas and birthday cards in a bag. I hoard so much shit too. I think I threw away all the ones from primary school though.
*dances*
