Well its official, I am finally 24. I wasn't really looking forward to my 24th birthday, but a very good friend of mine reminded me "how many people get to say they spent their 24th birthday in a new town in England, exploring a new country" So, that's what I did, I ceased the day. :-) And actually had a rather lovely birthday. Not only was it my birthday this past weekend it was also my 2nd weekend in West Brom.
Saturday night I had my first chance to go to the city center of Birmingham, and it was actually really cool and quite pretty. The Birmingham art festival was going on which meant there were lots of bands and other fun things going on. We (Julian and I) walked around and ended going to broad street which is a street full of bars and night clubs. At a random bar that we went into, we met two guys who were night club promoters from London, and they invited us to go with them to a club VIP style....Which would have been awesome but Julian was wearing trainers and track pants, and there was no way we could get in with those on even with the big timers, so they tried to convince us to go home and change and meet them out, but I didn't feel like it. So we went to West Brom and went to one of our local pubs. And I had a drink at midnight to celebrate my 24th year.
On Sunday(my actual birthday) I went by myself to the city center and went to the art festival, walked around, listened to some bands (one of which I really liked and hopefully I will get to seem them perform again), drank some coffee, and really had a nice day. When I returned to West Brom, Julian and I went to the pub for a drink and then had Chinese take away.
For the past 5 years, I have always remembered that as I celebrate my birthday on the 10th of September, the next day is the 11th. And I always say a prayer and have a remembrance for all those who lost loved ones due to the events of September 11th. I realize, that those events affected more then just the United States of America, they affected the whole world. But, we can not live in fear. God Bless the world. :-)
