Abandon Ship!!!!!!!!
yesterday was pretty awesome. Since I'm pretty adamant about spending august 7th alone every year, I like to celebrate with a small little thing either the day before or the day after. After FGL training, I was planning on like me and leon and amy and my mom and sister and maybe a couple of stragglers coming to vp3 for a kinda-sorta birthday dinner thing.
there were twelve of us!! I was so happy, I couldn't believe so many people rememebred/came!
It was me, my mom, rox, amy, leon, fyn, angel, jason, ray, jessica, alex, and melissa -- walking across to union square and then through chinatown to get to the restaurant was quite a challenge.
Melissa had written downt he lyrics to The Princess Pat for me, and I led a singalong while we were walking down 14th st -- and with my huge army of wellwishers i didn't even care about the agitated looks i got from passersby.
I was a little stressed out with so large ag roup, i wanted to make sure everyone had a good time and everyone was talking to at least one other person -- this happened naturally without any interference from me, but i still stressed over it anyway. I feel realyl terrible if people don't have a good time when its something relating to me.
I wasn't too hungry so I jus got some black mushroom and fried tofu rice stuff.. leon was awesome and managed to surprise me by telling me they were out of the red bean thign i was looking forward to, so i was actually surprised for once when they brought it out!
I did a go around question in YES style (lol) and made everyone say one thing they liked about me :D
Having everyone come together unexpectedly like that and spend time iwth me and sing happy birthday to me was such a wonderful surprise and it realyl made my day, i was stil kind of depressed about being home and not being with all my wonderful nashville people. Looking around the table and seeing everyone talking and laughing and interacting with each other - including my mom and sister -- and knowing that it was in some small part because of me gave me a really good feeling.
They were closing so we were kind of rushed out a little... after a group hug everyone split up outside. Leon, Ray, Alex, and Jessica went to the south street seaport (that wouldve been cool but i needed to see the movie with my sister!) , Jason, Angel, and my mom went to splash which i think is a gay bar (thats awesome!), and rox, amy, fyn, and i went to see Pirates of the Caribbean (i tried to convince melissa to go but she had to go home :( )
Just as awesome the first time, the swordfight scene between orlando and johnny is hotter then any movie you'd have to watch in your bedroom on the computer with your door locked at 3am could be. I'm so glad we got to see it together, and rox really liked it too -- i'm thinking of making this a birthday movie every year, but i'll see how i'm feeling next year. its so fun!
fyn came back with us because it was too late to get back to nj, and we got to show her some homestar stuff (now she finally understands why rox and i walk around saying "possums" constantly!"
haven't done much of my thinking and writing today so far, i've mostly just been catching up on internet stuff and scanning pictures because i haevnt been online much for over a week. i'm gnona eat dinner soon and then get my brain in motion.
