My 21st Birthday
What a nice birthday. I hadn’t done so much in a single day for a long time. It started out with me around midnight drinking at a little bonfire with a couple of Estacada fellows. I bought some legal beers at the nearby Chevron just as the clock struck. But the lady didn’t card me again. Damn lady, card people! I was even wearing my Oregon City Pioneers Football shirt. Hmm. At around 3:30 I went home and then got up around 11.
I stopped by the local Thriftway to look at wines. Nothing. So I just went to the liquor store to buy stuff. The nice lady gave me a free mini Jack Daniels shot size thing. I went for breakfast alone at the Bakery. I nice breakfast alone can be good some times… not. After breakfast I drove to Oregon City.
I bought some Kisses for the girls at Joann’s. I bought a fancy pants bottle of wine for myself and another liquor store drink for a friend. From then it was not too after one maybe two, so I went back to Estacada. I relaxed till lunches at work were starting and then went over. I had lunch at Wong’s with Kerry and would go pick up my present from Jan at the comic shop. This would set me close to 5.
I drove back to Oregon City by this time to hang out with Kelley and Sara. This ended up as just me and Kelley hanging out. We watched an episode off season five of the X-Files. Something he was kind enough to by for me on my birthday. Thank you, Kelley. The Lone Gunmen are my heroes.
From there I went to Alex’s casa. We hung out for a little then snagged me so food at Taco Bell. From there we went to get Bob and Matt Mo. I could feel the excitement seeping into me at this point. It would be the first clashing of my two worlds. I tried to get everyone involved: DBF, the Throuple, Halo Guild and HSP. Sadly, the Throuple couldn’t make it.
The guys and I get there early and chill at the bar. At this point I wasn’t sure how much it all was going to cost so I told the guys we could all have a beer. The bartender was kind enough to give me a birthday shot. It tasted sweet and yum. The party behind us hadn’t left for the night so we were forced to wait a while.
We get our table set for us and we take a seat. Soon Amanda and Amber would show up. Hurray! I even got a hug from Amanda! I thought it was odd, I mentioned it to her. “A hug? Wow” She’s not the hugging type. Only two times ever before this can I remember. I did a quick intro for everyone. Soon more people started showing up and the party got underway.
Everyone was having a good time. I mentioned Kelley couldn’t make it and Amanda called him to chew him out. I was told that Richard was upset that I hadn’t invited him to the party. So, Bob called him to apologize on my behalf. Around that time, I was drinking my first Long Island. The guys would take it upon themselves to start ordering a plethora of drinks. (Plethora is a cool word) Later on, I would go ahead and hand out my Kisses for the night. Ha!
My drunk level rose quickly, but hey, that’s life. My end total was something like, one Hefe, one birthday shot, two White Russians?, a B-52, a vodka cranberry, a Black Opal?, a Long Island, and a little bit of Jack and Coke. For the dinners/desserts the total only amounted to 63 bucks. But for us Legals, we proudly took the beverage bill to 97 bucks. I was decided that I would go back to Amber’s house and take shots of rum. We called it a night.
I rode with Amber and Amanda back to Alex’s to pick up my car. I rode with Amanda in my car. We followed Amber. This was really a cool thing. First off, she’s never driven me anywhere. She hadn’t driven in a while. She was driving my car! Hah. We chatted all the way back to Estacada, it was really odd. The only other person to drive my car is my dad. She’s in an elite club. We had a good talk. Good times. I missed her.
I left my car at home and rode with Amber to drop off Amanda. She gave me a hug goodbye. That was the third on the night. Amazing. It was funny, because it was mention that her boyfriend wanted to be first to take her to Stone Cliff Inn. But, fuck, it was my birthday. I don’t think she’ll tell him right away. Hah! Amber and I went back to her house. I took two shots and called it good. I crashed on her bed, I was a tired fellow for cripes sakes. She slept in her mom's bed.
I came home at around 8:30 and must go to work at 11:30. To cap off the whole thing. I didn’t have a hangover. What a badass day I had. Well, time to get ready for work.
