My birthday days...as they've somehow estranged into the 2nd to the 4th....have been a rollercoaster
2nd
The party happened- with abounding talk, people being later or earlier, tense, happy, laughter filled, left for real food, gathered but then needing to go home. My house filled with Phoenix, Kevin, Wendy, Matt, Kat and Anne, who were my party people for the day of marathon-ness. (Snoogins!) We miss placed two people of importance, Luke and Vistoria, who I missed and felt estranged by, especiall;y since dinner and cake was supposedly being handled by them, but their reason for not coming made so much sense once I knew it. (I've been there, hun. My thoughts are with him and you.) I got a call from TJ asking me to come help him run a booth in San Diego at the con late in July which had me dancing in my livingroom hallway. We ate premade cupcakes and I mourned without word the idea of singers and candles, because it was too late to get a cake at nine almost ten at night even though the thought was sweet. I got a new Goddess puzzle from Wendy that I think will go on one of my bedroom walls when it's done. I got a card and a huge butterfly balloon from Kat. A wristlet from Anne with a really cute medium sized dragon stitched into the part of it (my belated Yule gift, made by hand!!!) and she added flowers and plants of all accords into it. Got online where Eric sang happy birthday to me and gave me a picture of candle, which I needed even if I had earlier refused it and the knowledge of wanting it.
3rd
I was woken up at 3:35 by phoenix so he could wish me happy birthday at my birthday time. What a sight I was, very unconcious and hardly aware, but I did register him giving me a ring. And I didn't need to turn on the lights to know it was the one I'd all but pined over at Beltane. (A very pretty oval blue moonstone ring set in silver that I thought another woman had bought to boot!) We all ate cupcakes and frosted flakes for breakfast while finishing the Water wall puzzle (three down, only Earth left now) and then moved on to introducing Phoenix to B5 season five. Found me gift online from Winter which was an amazon.com gift certificate. We watched to episodes before Phoenix and I went to see Along Came Polly (it seemed cuter than it ended up. :( ) We came home ate a small ammount of food and watched sundays Alias (love syd, vaughs going nuts, hurray evil lauren) and we both took about and hour and half nap.
Then I showed up at my parents where to my surprise Gordon and mom having told me they were just going to give me money had a hat for me. It's about a foot tall, it's a yellow cake jester hat, embroideered with the words happy birthday on the side, topped with blue icing and rainbow candles. they took me out to olive garden where i had my first (and only) drink on or around turning 21, which was a Chocolate Almond Amore (Irish Cream, Kaluha, Disarrono, and ice cream)...along with my Fetuciini. At the end i was surprised when they brought me a cake with a candle and the restaurant sang to me. Spent an hour showing my parents Alaska pictures and headed home. Studied for my final while the boys watched distracting happy sci-fi shows, and spent my last hour of the night when i'd finished my homework bored, disgusted and uncomfortable while the boys watched world wide advertisement porn with ru paul on hbo.
Oh, yes, and I got my voicemails from people wishing me my hapiest birthdays which we're very appreciated.
4th
Arrived almost late to my Speech class where victoria asked at the door if i hated her, to which i of course said no. Dissapointed a little, but not hate her, and i only had long enough to think that before i walked in and saw that there was a tiny chocolate cake with a candle on my desk, just as everyone in my speech room started singing to me. Silly as it sounds I couldn't stop smiling. I peeked at her gift during class but didn't open it. Went home, finished my essay final for english and took it back, paid off more of my park ticket down town (with all the money my mother gave my for my b-day). Figured out how much I still owe. All within the next month. Got really dissapointed and let down when I got given another scenary I couldn't have about turning twenty one because of finals or lack of cash, while joking about the other one that had to be canceled. Found out more I missed out from Phoenix because he mistaked one of the things i said as directed at him when i was referencing brinna, tim and the rose petals. It sorta ruined my mood for a few hours, but I got home and I did something I guess fate knew I'd need later this afternoon instead of earlier. I finally opened Victoria's gift. And her gift, I don't think I can explain it here. I'm not sure words can really explain it either. It touched me really, really deep inside and it gave me just the slightest peek into someone else I find really cool and in the end I really feel special and sort of glowy.
So there's my three day birthday roller coaster.
It wasn't perfect. It wasn't pristine.
But for better or worse--
it was mine.
And I'm twenty one now.
