Raise Your Glass
[For Erato's birthday, Euterpe called in a few favors and arranged for something epically special. With a little help from Calliope, she paid three members of the men's acappella group at Mannes College to go to Erato's school and serenade her as she was walking into the building. All three were tall, very clean-cut preppy men, one blonde, one brunette, and one redhead just as Terpe promised. The blonde (Riker) was holding a single pink rose and a card, the brunette (Dominic) a hot pink iPod (loaded with music hand-picked by Terpe), and the redhead (Lukas) a tray of lattes. Once they had Erato's attention they launched into the following:
"Hey shorty, it's your birthday,
We gonna party like it's your birthday,
We gonna sip a latte like it's your birthday,
And you know your sisters wish you a happy birthday!"
After, they sang a more traditional birthday song, and then gave the birthday girl their gifts, names, and numbers.]
Today is an awesome day! Not only is it my sister's birthday, but my classes ended yesterday so today is my first day of freedom other than studying for finals. And looking for a new job, but that's not a priority at the moment.
I just wish my skeezy neighbor would stop having loud, obnoxious sex with whatever girl he brought home last night for long enough for me to actually concentrate. I swear, under normal circumstances I'd be knocking on the wall or yelling at them to shut up, but the bed banging against my wall knocked Superchip's tank over so I'm trying to coax a scared pygmy hedgehog out from under my futon instead.
I need to move so badly it's not even funny anymore...
