i dreamt i saw you walking
up a hillside in the snow
casting shadows on the winter sky
as you stood there counting crows
one for sorrow, two for joy,
three for girls, and four for boys,
five for silver, six for gold, and
seven for a secret never to be told

there's a bird that nests inside you
sleeping underneath your skin
when you open up your wings to speak
i wish you'd let me in

from "a murder of one" ~ counting crows
happy birthday to me!

Soooo, today was my birthday and i tuned 21 again only this time i got to be as bad as i wanted to be. i think i might just turn 21 every year for the rest of my life. maybe Angel will win the lottery and i can be "eccentric" when i'm old and grey and still coyly telling the boys that i'm 21 this year . . .


We had my personal b-day party last night because i was having dinner with my parents tonight.


Only Louis and Rachel missed it so the turn out was pretty good. Chris & Stacy came and Stacy's friend Amy, too. Charlie & Abby. The two couples stayed the night. Myste, Mary, Sean, Chuck, and a couple of random "friends of friends" rounded things out. i cooked pasta with three meats, and three sauces - Italian sausage, meatballs, grilled chicken with alfredo, garlic & onion (red sauce), and vodka (pink sauce). it was dubbed a totally modular dinner when paired with bread & salad.


There was a plethora of liquors and such and we had Stacy in the kitchen mixing the shit outta some drinks. she was totally amazing.


we turned on music and had Burnout 3 - Takedown on all night with the porch turned into a huge smokers' section. i ran around with the camera snapping some great shots until the turned the camera on ME and i hid it. we kept it rolling until 3 am when i passed out and people started drifting their (now sober) asses home or sacking their (totally trashed) asses on the couches and beds. Angel locked up, tucked in the last person, and fell into bed around about 4:30am.


Angel worked this morning at 9:30 so i got up as he was leaving to find my phone, brush my teeth, drink a LOT of water and take two Motrin before climbing back into bed and crashing for another two and a half hours. i didn't have a hangover this morning but i did sleep wrong and my back is killing me. i got up, heated up the second loaf of bread and crashed some cars with Abby and Charlie before dropping them off and heading over to my mom's where the birthday fairy left me a 17" SHARP LCD flat panel monitor for my new computer! it is so vivid and clear that i couldn't play mahjong on it - i was killing my time stats by staring at all the pretty details i'd never noticed before! And it's not like i�m coming from five guys and a stone tablet or anything - my last monitor was a 17 inch flat screen with great detail. i have to say that everyone needs an LCD! i also received Star bux gift cards from Mary/Sean and the Brat/Aaron, beautiful vivid orange stargazer lilies from Toasterboy, a Target gift card from the Brat & Aaron, $10 and some Almond Roca from The Ronica, Chris & Stacy gave me NIN With Teeth and some really cute glow-in-the-dark friendship bracelets from Abby & Charlie.


it's been a great birthday this year!
