birthdays rock hard
So today was my birthday. It kicked so much ass i can't even begin to enumerate. The day was titled by my friends as "the day of jake" (apparently i'm jake here, yay for new college personas!) or "Jake Day" whichever strikes your fancy. We had a party at this spot by a lake, had a little grill where we grilled burgers and shish-cabobs (my idea, just more evidence of my insane awesomeness) and i received the following presents:
1. Plastic sword (i actually had found it in a closet earlier, but i'm still counting it here.)
2. A homemade card
3. A purchased card with a homemade envelope, including candy taped to it.
4. Several flowers picked nearby
5. A stripper. A....cop stripper....and a fireman. No seriously, they got me a Mr. Potato Head cop and fireman. it rocked.
6. A whole lot of left over food.
7. A cupcake to the face
8. Serenaded by Sarah and Laura to Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You"
9. A free showing of Ferris Beuler's day off (granted it was free to everyone, but i took it as meant only for me)
-So that was some kickass fun, and the sunset/night was really beautiful. The clouds made it look like the sky was on fire, which was fitting because it took a fourth of an eternity to get the fire going, apparently charcoal doesn't burn as well as the bag it comes in. And the stars were out like i never saw in Chattanooga, it was spectaculicious. And to top it all off, i helped save a life today. It was a giant cricket, perhaps the cricket king, stuck on its back to the dew on my car roof. I aided in its rescue and by this action, i have made peace with the crickets.
Tis a great day for our peoples.
