The Friday Five

1. Do you really make wishes when you blow out the candles on your cake?

I did and I always still do

2. Have any of the wishes ever come true, if yes?

In second grade I wished for a bicycle and I got one that day! Then I left it on the lawn and it either got stolen or the garbage men took it away. Not the same day, but probably within a year.

3. How do you feel about birthdays? (e.g., love the attention, just another day, don’t want anyone to know my real age, etc.)

I’m happy if I can do something special on my birthday. It’s slowly becoming go to the Big E if it’s around my birthday. I don’t care so mucht hat I get a cake or whatever, but I do care that the cake that someone gets me isn’t my brothers cake from his birthday in August with his name smeared out with just the “R” left there saying it musta happened between the store and the house. Not that I’m still bitter about it.

4. Tell us a favorite gift you’ve received, or something you’d really like for your next birthday.

One year Jared got me two coffee table books, one on Hendrix, one on MTV Unplugged. I still look at both books now and again. One year I got one of those little kid press a button and it plays some music electric guitars. One year someone made me a guitar strap. When I was a little kid my brother got me some wireless Nintendo controllers. I thought those were super cool. Last year Amber went with me to the Big E and I love that too.

5. What flavor cake?

I like chocolate cakes. Not ice cream cakes though. I don’t mind them but I’m not thrilled with them.
