was great =)
It started off with me waking up to balloons and streamers all over the house and a big "happy bithday" banner out on the garage which made me smile and giggly and all that. They each gave me a present which was very sweet. Jenn got me a hard puzzle just so I can yell at her this time. Michelle made me a Buzz Lightyear pillow that she sewed all by herself and she has never sewn anything before in her life, which was really special. Then I got told to get ready because we were going out but wouldn't tell me where. We went to Golden Griddle where Jenn and Michelle bought me breakfast and then we headed off to the next mystery location. They made me close my eyes as we were walking up to the place, but it was obviously Lime Ridge mall as we drove around in circles looking for parking and then walked up and there was people everywhere. But anyways, we get there and they let me pick out any hat I wanted for my birthday :) I wanted a leaf hat I saw there a while ago, but it wasn't there anymore so I got a cool "Bad Ass Canadian" hat. I like it a lot. So after we came back from the mall we started doing puzzle because we're addicted. After puzzlin for a bit we started gettin' ready for the Juicy Jumbo Birthday Party. We made a pie and got a tablecloth for the gross table and got chips and dip and pop. Everyone showed up late. Of course. I told people around 4, expecting them around 5. Mel and Denise showed up at 5:30 and they were the first people here. We played Blurt and Connect 4 until about 7:30 when Allison, Carm, Ash showed up. We all watched the hockey game, ate birthday pie (the pie was so hot it melted the candles which was really weird) and mc cain cake. Watched the leafs win for my birthday and that was that.
Not really though. Allison was going on the whole time about how she loves to go to these abandoned houses that have spirits and stuff in them and it was really freaky. So I decided I was gonna go with her. I try to do something extreme on my birthday so this seemed to fit. I invited Jenn to come, but Michelle didn't want to come. So we all head out to this scary, sketchy, abandoned house out in the middle of nowhere at 10:30 at night in the freezing cold. I chickened out before we even got there, but ended up just barely going into the house and leaving. All the scary shit happens in the basement or the attic of the house so I wouldn't go near it. After the house, we all went into the barn which had creepy death stuff in there and was cold so we went back to the car. After Alli and Mel had enough of the house we split up and went to the club. I had 2 birthday drinks and danced to rhythm is a dancer and had a good time then we left.
Yesterday made me feel really special. I've never had friends go through so much trouble for me on my birthday and it made me feel really loved. Another thing that made me smile was that I actually got a lot of calls and emails from people I wouldn't have expected. My dad and my brother both called me which was really surprising. I haven't talked to my brother since December and it's been a couple months since I've talked to my dad as well. I also got emails from lots of friends and my grandparents. It was a really good day. Thank you to all of you who made me as happy as I am today. I love you all. Maybe 20 won't be so bad after all.
