Tonight, my fam­ily had planned a gath­er­ing at the Lone Star Steak­house to cel­e­brate my and my cousin Joe's respec­tive birthdays.

Every­one showed up for it (a first), includ­ing Megan, my sweet, sweetie-pie. (Sorry.) Any­way, the din­ner didn't actu­ally go too bad.

As far as presents go, my mom made me a scrap­book that had things in it from the past nine­teen years, which was nice. But the kicker was a new com­puter (!) that I got from my grandma. Wow, this is pretty kick-ass.

After the party, we went over to Megan's house and watched a movie with Jake. Not bad …
