WAY long time, no post
HEY LIVEJOURNAL PALS!!!
What's been going on with Melanie lately? Well, let me tell you:
My BIRTHDAY was last Wednesday. I'm now 21! I even had a drink with my pizza tonight - I threw a shot of vodka in my cranberry-grape juice. It was kinda gross.
I went to LAS VEGAS with my Mommy this past weekend to celebrate said birthday. We stayed at TI: TREASURE ISLAND, because I am a pirate fanatic. I drank my first alcoholic drink at 3am on a mostly empty stomach. It was a strawberry daquiri. The first half burned, but the second half just tasted like a slurpee. I sent a picture of it to a few select people who I knew would apppreciate it. Maybe I'll put it up here when I get around to uploading. I also saw a Cirque Du Soleil show, Mystere, which was awesome.
The day before my birthday I was in Vallejo getting my hair done. I had commuted home with my mom on Monday. Tuesday afternoon I hung out with Jody and Michael and Meri for a couple hours. They got me a card and a little cake from Safeway. They put candles in the cake, but Michael accidentally waved them out with the card, so they had to start over! After that I went out to dinner with my Mommy and Issa and Granny. my Granny had a card for me that really confused me until I realized that it was from my dad. Even though I didn't say it out loud, my first thought was WHAT THE EVER-LOVING FUCK?! And then I almost cried. There was $21 in it. My Granny's card had $100 and a note that said 'have fun in Vegas' - I so totally did.
When I got back to school Wednesday morning, after waking up at home for my birthday, all of my roommates were still asleep - it was only 8am. BUT! There was a huge sign on the wall that Chelena had made!! and there was a pirate lunchbox that I had gushed over when we went to The Haight a few weeks ago! and pirate socks! After that I went to my Storytelling class and told my monologue. I made sure I went first because I didn't want to have to wait, especially since my theme was my birthday. It started really funny because the first line of the monologue was, 'today I am 21 years old,' and everybody clapped and said happy birthday, but then I had to say, "Well, thanks, but now I have to start over and say it again!" and they all laughed.
Later that day, I was eating lunch with Chelena and she stepped away from the table for a minute, just when I got a call. I didn't know what to do, because the call was from Amber and again I was thinking WHAT THE EVER-LOVING FUCK?! but I answered it and there ensued one of the weirdest conversations I've ever had, and it was weird because it was just like any other inane conversation we'd ever had. My full reaction to that call is a-whole-damned-nother post, though.
The night of my birthday, Ramil didn't have anything planned, so we just went to City Centre and I shopped. I only got one shirt, which Ramil paid for. We then went across the street to the Metreon and took really cute photo booth pictures - again, when I get around to scanning/uploading, you'll see. We went back o the mall for dinner, and ate at the Mexican place that I can't remember the name of... Andale! That's it. After we came back, Ramil came to our apartment to see the sign Chelena made and the flowers I had gotten from Jody - did I mention those already? When I called her, she asked if they were purple with a clear vase, and did I like them. They weren't - they were white in a pale green vase, but I still liked them; I cried when I saw who they were from. Big baby.
Friday was when we went to Vegas, and we came back Sunday morning, so we were only really there a day, but it was really fun. Of course I need to go back because I didn't see half of everything that I wanted to, and I need better pictures.
Ramil and I move in officially on Saturday, to our apartment. CRAZINESS!! My mom is giving us a bunch of stuff, and she bought our dining set! We still need to buy a bed, and a desk, and order the internet. Ramil is going to handle setting that up, because I know nothing about the specs of computers. The bill will have to be put in my name, though, because I'm payig the bills. AWESOME!
I've been 21 for 8 days. It's alright, I guess. Alcohol isn't that good, anyway, and I don't like clubs.
I'm tired.
I'm going to go StumbleUpon some random shit.
Love ya!
Melanie
