I was born on my grandpa's birthday 28 years ago. He used to take me fishing for our birthday, and he used to give me those awful peppermint candies, and warm soda, and he'd tell me that I could have his birthday, too- thereby keeping him the same age, and making me much older. It was the only special anything I shared with him, but it meant a lot to me.
Today is my birthday, and I have now twice been reminded that I can no longer "have" Grandpa's birthdays. He died right after I had my son, two and a half years ago. I haven't forgotten that. I don't understand why the very first Happy Birthday I received today had to be a sad one.

My granddad was a carman for L&M rail. He was filthy all week long then on Sundays got all cleaned up and put on his best suit with his crisp white shirt and tie with a silver traintrack clip and a pocketwatch and chain and go to....(thought I was going to say church, didn't you) he'd go to the pool hall. I think that's where "grandaddymac" took his devotion.
On the rare event he let one of us grandkids come along, I cherished going when it was my turn. The place smelled of cigar smoke, old beer, and fresh coffee and I would watch my grandad carefully take off his coat and hang it on pole and pick out a stick and play with other men similarily dressed. I couldn't tell you if he was any good; I wasn't tall enough to see the table top. When it wasn't his turn, he'd sit at a small table and drink coffee out of a cup with a saucer.
Sometimes I think that having peace of mind and heart is where you find it.

There are some days I wish I had a boyfriend. Then I realize why, and then I feel very very selfish. I'm glad I don't have one. I feel like I'd take advantage of him way too much...and the thought of taking advantage of someone makes me feel sick in the stomach. And I know I'll be glad I didn't give my heart up to someone else. Plus I know I have deeper issues to solve before I go into a relationship. I just pray that Jesus will be my first love through this all...and I know this feeling is temporary.

I'm going crazy not being able to drive right now. I haven't been able to drive for about 5 months because I can't afford to pay a fine I got for a bad inspection sticker, and I can't afford to get the car fixed so it can pass inspection. It's work, home, sleep, work home sleep.....I only get to go out and hang out with my friends maybe once every two weeks.

My birthday is coming up and that means the dreaded forced birthday wishes on fb. The 'we don't really talk, barely know you but fb told me its your birthday and I feel obligated to wish you one'. Seriously considering inactivating my fb that week.
Honestly, I would like to spend my 30th birthday doing cake with the family, or better yet ordering in some food, or sushi for take out and watching a comedy movie alone. Not to be anti-social but crowds exhaust me, especially ones filled with people you barely talk to. I don't want to be around people who feel obligated to be around me.
I get pleasure and energy from doing my own thing. I'm introverted, but why do I feel as though there is something wrong with that? That there is something wrong with me. Is there? When I am asked what's new? I don't have awhole lot to say, and am looked at strange like they think I am a hermit. Introverts, can you relate?

I know there's some days I'd rather be alone than do anything. Though I spent my 14th, nope wait, my 15th birthday alone, and it stunk. I never wanna do that again. But I'm an odd introvert. I don't like being alone too much. I like socializing, but I can't do an excessive amount. Only youth retreats are the exception for that one.
From what I've researched though, some introverts are more independent and I guess "free spirited" than others. There's nothing really wrong with it, but I think it can be a bit unhealthy to be alone 95% of the time. Maybe it's because my family's always concerned about me wanting alone time alot. but maybe that's because I've dealt with depression issues and are concerned I'm depressed again?
Anyways...yes, I can relate to this a little bit. haha.

Sometimes I just want to smash stuff. Not because I'm angry or violent, it's just...fun. I like the sound glass makes when it shatters and falls all over the floor. The sound leaves make when you step on them. Snow or ice crunching under my feet.
I do, however, draw the line at crunching bugs. That is...disturbing.

I'm playing this game app in my phone called The Incident. It's cute, reminds me of old school Nintendo with the graphics and music. I've become addicted, but from years of playing Nintendo, my thumbs keep wanting to press on the screen to go left right or jump, instead of tilting and swiping the phone. Super frustrated. 1st world problems I guess

Going to sleep now, long day, played with my dog after finding my dog, she ran off from the place, and, after 10 minutes, and, she was still not around, and, I thought I would be going to the pound to find her because she can really run with the 'pitt' in here, they love to travel, I said a quick little prayer, and, BAM! she showed up. Praise God. 
I've been to the animal shelter twice in her 7 years time and those were both heavy times of prayer, God is good, He takes care of us .
Going to sleep, for reals, no morz talkin'[ to ya, all, go to sleep with some talking to Jesus, you will wake up much better that way, give Him all the glory and praise for a day that was great, even if it wasn't, realize that God had you in 'it' for a reason and it was His and He got you through didn't He? So, keep on going and oh, that's right, I was suppose to be going to sleep, I am, I am, already, OK, not yet, but, yeah, I'm going, I'm going, quit pushing me, can't a guy say a few things---mmmmmmph . *an angel just closed up green's mouth, you all got something to praise Him about b4 beddy bye now
*Green is talking in His sleep now: If you're down about anything, give it to Him, He handles everything, keep pressing on, pressing on, remember, you're with Him now, and, going back to where you was would just be WRONG. Keep pressing on, pressing onzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
