I swear this is the last post on my birthday
A lot of things became clear on Saturday night after I arrived at my favorite restaurant, The Macaroni Grill. I knew I was special because we got to eat up stairs. Although I confessed to knowing something was up I didn’t know who would make it and spent Saturday all nervous and hyper and couldn’t take any extra anxiety meds because I knew I’d be drinking. Some people did trick me into thinking they weren’t going when I tried to execute what I though were stealth tactics to get information.
I was pleasantly surprised to see my friend Tricia and my buddy Darryl and I single them out because I hadn’t seen them since the wedding and I then went underground for months. Seeing them both made me realize just how much my friends really do accept me bullshit and all. I went MIA for months when I crashed after the wedding and it is so nice to see that people genuinely stand by me. I know they do, but witnessing it feels good because I know I still care even if I can’t leave my apartment for months and crap but always worry and wonder if I really know for sure. I have gone to The Macaroni Grill for my birthday so many times I have photos of Spockette who attended this year also attending my 21st. She’d kill me if I posted them though.
A big thanks to Adam because he was the mastermind and I KNOW I drove him NUTS! Like with my cake I was very upset on Thursday my actual birthday because there was no Dairy Queen Ice Cream cake and I did not understand WHY??? But it was because Dvo made me a VERY and I mean VERY special cake. One of the ingredients is pure green. Dvo and Adam have worked together for years but Dvo has become my friend too and no one has ever made me a cake before that wasn’t my mom.
Thank you everyone for coming and doing what I wanted which ended up pretty classic me, dinner and then hanging between our four brown walls having drinks and me sharing sometimes too much information a grand habit of mine when I drink too much. Ever want to get to know the real dirt on me just get me hammered. Thankfully seeing me hammered is very rare. I am so open already I can only imagine what I’d write if I blogged drunk, I shudder to think.
The rest of the photos can be found on my Flickr.

Wow! Seems like you’ve had a rad few days. I’ve been playing catch up on your blog after being unable to view blogger for a while. It’s one of the reasons I’ve decided to shift over to something better like myspace or something.
Nice new look, by the way! It looks cool and funky, just like the person behind it.
