Finished....reading Harry Potter and knitting Tivoli

I got home really tired at 1 a.m. last Friday, and woke up at 6.10 a.m. on Saturday, so that I could go to pick up my pre-ordered Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Price. There were 2 of my friends coming too, so we go for yumcha afterwards (love it!). I read the first chapter while waiting for bus, but since reading in bus makes me dizzy, I have to really hold myself from opening the book. After I got home, I change clothes, then sat myself comfortably on the bed, and spent about 7 hours doing nothing else but reading. Then I got back to my knitting....
Tivoli is done, with a contrasting colour band and some little lace pattern. It's now blocking, so I'll post a picture some other time.
I'm getting a bit worried since my yarn purchase from ebay hasn't arrive yet. The other knitter have gotten theirs, and it's been 2 weeks!! I hope nothing goes wrong, since this is my biggest purchase ever (you'll see if they got here;D ).
Few hours till my birthday, and I'm having this Peter Pan syndrome. I never like birthdays, since it means I'm growing old. I know I'm still young, but turning 18 sounds like a big thing. I can now legally do a lot of stuffs, like smoking, get into a discotheque, etc. Stuffs that I don't really want to do anyway. I still can't enter a casino and have an eye laser surgery, not before I'm 21.
My dad has called 3 times and my mom once today...speaking of nothing that matters at all. Weird.
As for birthday present, I asked for a sewing machine from my mom. She thinks that I'm trying to be funny, before I told her 3 times. They told me to go out and celebrate with my friends, which I've been planning to, but I'm not really in the mood of celebration right now, so we'll see.
