On October 11, I became just a wee bit older. Though it's not a very important number, I am excited to no longer be thirteen. See, thirteen is an unlucky number and one would be surprised at how many bad things happened when I was that glorious and cursed number. I hope to begin a new chapter of my life as I explore the wonders of being one year older. I think that birthdays are very interesting. Why does one celebrate the day they came into the world? When did it begin? Where did 'birthday parties' originate? I may not answer these questions in this blog post, but I hope that readers are interested enough in birthdays that they might find the answers to the various questions in this blog!
