Mon. May 16- Typical school day, came home for a little bit and than when to work from 6-10. When I got home from work I got an early birthday present from my mom which was a digital camera which I was very stoked about because my sister had lost mine. I played around with my camera for a bit, showered and went to bed.
Tues. May 17- My Birthday! It was entirely amazing. I would have to say my best birthday yet because it wasn’t the usual predictable birthday where I just have dinner with my family and that’s it. It was so much more than that, for once I got to do what I wanted to do. I woke up that morning (on time may I add) and got ready. I was done getting ready a little early so I went to dunken doughnuts and got a shit load of munchkins and some coffee. I picked up Kim and James and went to school. I really didn’t feel like doing much in school hence why I got all the munchkins-- I just threw a party on count of my birthday in all my classes that I didn’t feel like doing work in(chemistry, astronomy, and humanities). At the end of my school day I was walking out to my car when I see quite the lovely present my wonderful friends left me. They took it upon themselves to “decorate” my car with the ever so famous window chalk. I had “happy 18th” “18 to party” “happy b-day” and “ HONK its my birthday” written in yellow all over the windows on my car. And yes I did actually have people beeping at me driving home all the way down Vets Highway. I was utterly embarrassed but it was funny I will admit. I got home and had Torie and Analicia meet me at my house where we left with my mom to Tattoo Lou’s. My mom and I got tattoos and Torie and Analicia came for some moral support. My mom got this design she had made up on her forearm and I got a rose on my back. Its beautiful, I love it so much and it’s a good thing that I do because it will be on my body for the rest of my life. But if in 20 years from now I hate it, its ok because I don’t have to look at it :). Getting the tattoo done really didn’t hurt all that much. I mean its not like a didn’t feel it because I did but it was just a annoying scratching feeling on my back but totally tolerable. Some spots hurt more than others and toward the end I got antsy because it took so long (all together it took about an hour and half maybe a little longer). After my tattoo I came home and hung out for about an hour than went out to dinner with some of my friends. We all went to Hooters, it was a good time. After we were all done with our dinner the delightfully tacky, yet unrefined waitresses came to sing me happy birthday with the best birthday cake I have ever seen in my life (props to Analicia and Torie for that one, good planning girls), it had two pictures screened on it, one of Shaun White and the other of Andrew McMahon. It was definitely the most attractive birthday cake I have ever seen. I got home at about 10:30 and my family was up waiting patiently to have birthday cake for they too wanted to have cake with me on my birthday. They sang happy birthday to me and we sat around the dining room table eating cake and talking. After cake I went in the shower and went to sleep.
Wed. May 18- Nothing really went to school and came home and chilled.
Thurs. May 19- School --> home --> out to diner with the family. We went to the Outback and of course we had to have this very attractive waiter. My mom and Aunt Darlene were teasing me and Heather about how cute he was. It was all fun and games until my mom turned around to him and told him Heather and I thought he was hot and that we wanted a picture with him and his number. He was extremely nice and came over to shake our hands as we denied the feeling towards him, he laughed and said it was ok and that his mother does that kind of thing to him all the time. I refused to take a picture but Heather didn’t however. We left him Heather’s number with the check and as we were walking out he said goodbye to Heather and that he will talk to her soon. She was so mortified and I was mortified for her. But it was a good night.
Fri. May 20- School, Chilled for a bit, went to work 5-8:30 at Mayfair, than went to Tories house where we had a Something Corporate night. We watched ‘ Something Corporate: A Year in the Life’ and ‘Something Corporate Live at Ventura Theater’ then just chilled out and talked about Something Corporate and Jacks Mannequin. Than we talked about how Torie has to have it be pitch silence in order to fall sleep and I can sleep trough anything. On count of this discussion we tried it, Torie tried falling asleep to music and she couldn’t and than we both tried falling asleep to silence and we both succeeded. Torie woke up me up around 1 am and I had left her house, came home and finished sleeping.
Sat. May 21- Woke up to my sister coming in my room to tell me breakfast was almost ready. I rolled out of bed to see breakfast done. I ate with the family and than helped my mom load her DJ equipment into her van for a party she had to do. She left and I went in the shower and ran a few errands and got my nails done. Came home got changed and went to work from 5-10. It was really cute the girls from work got me a 40 dollar gift certificate to the Gap, I was pleased.
Sun. May 22 (today)- my sister woke me up telling me breakfast was on the table so I got up out of bed where everyone sitting around the table already engaged in their eating. I sat down and ate, my sister handed me a few scratch off cards to play, I won about 15 dollars which was nice. Now I’m sitting around up dating this. I have to clean my room for it is a bit messy and I would like to get some shopping done today but I’m not sure how much time this day will give me today.
****Three more days until the Jacks Mannequin show. I'm kind of upset for it is supposed to rain that day, which means that we will be soaked when we are standing on line- looks like I'm going to have to run out and get some rain ponchos.
