Birthday Party of a Lifetime

I was pretty concernced that turning twenty was going to be traumatic. I would wake up thursday and just want to lay back down and cry. Instead Thursday was one of the greatest days I have ever had! I woke up and did my hair and got dressed. My roommate Erin had left me a happy birthday note on my desk which made me smile. I went to my two classes of the day (biology and english) I saw Jen in biology and we got out a little early and got Einstein's. Jen and I played hangman during class and worked on her experiment. Then I went to English where we talked about Ulyesses which is a poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. After class I went to Katie's apartment and then Katie took me out to lunch at Cane's which was really nice and delicious. We went to Wal-Mart which is always a fun experience. Then I walked her to work and I made a bet with Daniel that the Mavericks would beat the Spurs because they never lose on my birthday(well they used to never lose). Needless to say I paid Daniel a dollar yesterday.







After that I went to my room and finished cleaning up and putting up the decorations. I got lonely so I called Jen and Erin and then we were hanging out and talking and then they left to go get thier cards swiped at the ladyjacks game(in case you didn't know the more games you see the more prizes you get) Erin's probably already qualified for a free t-shirt. Just as they left Allison, Stephanie, Marie, and Stevie showed up so it was partying time. We blew bubbles and then bounced the basketball around and I ordered pizza. Erin and Jen came back and Palmer and all of the guys from next door came over just because they wanted free pizza. Everyone ate I watched some more of the basketball game and then we took the party over to Katie's apartment. Allison, Jen and I took some shots and I was pretty much gone within the first ten minutes. We tried to play King's Cup but it didn't work out very well because Jen was super ADD and nobody else knew the rules. Then James came over and that's when it started to get really funny. Just to recap you all James is my gay friend who says he doesn't like girls. We were sitting on Katie's floor and he goes "Kiss me!" and I said "Ewwwwwwwww no." and then he goes "Why is it because I'm UGLY?!?!" and I was soooooooo embarassed because the whole party stopped and everyone was looking at me in my birthday crown with my cheeks blazing. So I was like "fine" and I grabbed James face and kissed him which I remember doing but what I don't remember and what Katie had to tell me afterwards is that he was like "THAT WAS A REALLY PASSIONATE KISS!" So the rest of the night I was very angry at James and by this point I don't remember much besides me trying to choke him severel times, slapping him for flirting with Allison, and breaking two pair of sunglasses. Then Marie and Stevie left and so I was bummed and the party lasted for another 20 minutes or so before Jen and I were like not able to drink anymore and everyone else was feeling good. So Katie, Jen, Erin, James, Tim and I walked back towards Steen but Tim got mad at me for some reason and went off with Jen. So Katie Erin James and I are back outside Steen and I just wanted one last cigarette and by this time everyone was my best friend so basically anyone walking around outside of Steen was getting some loving from me. So I saw these guys that I knew because I've watched the mavericks game with them before and of course they were my "best friends" and I was hugging them and telling them that I loved them and everything. Well this is the part where it gets sort of fuzzy for me because next thing I knew I was inside Steen and this drunk girl who I had given a cigarette to was crying and Katie was crying talking about how one of the guys had a gun and said he was gonna shoot that drunk girl. I guess at the time for them it was really scary but it's just a testament to how drunk I was that I thought it was hilarious and just went to my room and peed and came back down happy as a god-damned lark. Well Katie and Erin had just called UPD and so I went with James up to his room because I really didn't want to get arrested. I tried to go to sleep because I just wanted to forget guns and life in general at this point of the night but Erin called and said the cop needed one of us to come downstairs so of course James went because he was not as drunk as I was. This is when I talked to James' roommate about how I'm supposedly in love with James. Then James comes back into the room and was like "it's time to sober up!" and I was like "noooooooooooooooo why?!?!" and it turns out the cop needed to talk to me because I supposedly knew these guys and thought they were my friends. So I went drank some water and peed and went down there and talked to that poor cop. He asked me some questions and I tried to act sober. After all of this we went back to James' room because I wanted Erin and Katie to see James' roommate who I was convinced was the hottest man on earth even though I hadn't even seen what he looked like because when I was in the room it was pitch black. So we walk into the dark room and I had my cell phone light and was flashing it in this poor boys eyes and I was like "HE IS HOTTTTTTTTT!" and then they turned on the light and he was like "hey what's up?" and it was just about the funniest thing that has ever happened to me in my life. Then I tried to steal his blanket and his pillow. He looks like a male model. I am in love. I ended up spending the nigth with James and I even woke up the next morning for my classes even though I was quite hungover.



In retrospect it was the greatest birthday party and greatest birthday ever. Wow it took my five days to write this post. Next up: Alex's Saturday night adventure with Allison.
