A Look back at "Thirteen"

As most of you know, I'll be celebrating my fourteenth year living on this home planet we call Earth. The years I've spent here have been quite enjoyable, and I can only imagine what the years to come hold in store for me. As for my first year as a teenager, I've been greeted by more responsibility, and privileges, which is good, and bad in some ways. Allow me to go over some of these things that have happened over the past year:

• I got my very first cell phone on my thirteenth birthday, only to have it be accidentally put through a cycle in the washing machine, and dryer, while it was still in one of my pants-pockets. I now use my dad's old cell phone, while he uses the new one he got for Christmas.
• I was given the privilege to be able to walk along the main road near my neighborhood, to walk to friends' houses. This may not sound like much, but when you've watched all your other friends do it for the past two years, you learn to want to be able to do it too.
• I was finally allowed to have a Facebook profile (funny story how I got it. Mom and dad know what I'm talking about. Heh-heh....), and was able to friend more people than my parents had (individually, that is) in about a month.
• And, of course, I started this blog.

I'm sure there were more things to add to that list, but they escape my mind at the moment. But, I guess you can say I'm finally starting to "grow-up".

And I'm sure Mom just can't wait the two years until I'll be driving!

Talk to you all next weekend!

Yours in awesomeness,
~Ry.
