Birthday Weekend

Happy Birthday to me!

I turned 19 on Sunday. Last year of having "teen" in my age. God that's scary; next year I'll be twenty. Twenty. I don't feel that old.....I mean, I still laugh when people say "fart" for chrissakes!! But I definitely ain't a kid any more, and that frightening thought is making itself more and more prevalent in life as the days go by.

Enough of that depressing shit. The real reason I'm writing is to tell you all what a kick-ass weekend I had, and also to put it down in words so I'll always remember it.

On Friday my two friends from BG came to visit. When they got here we chatted for an hour or two and we gave them a tour of the campus. They met Ivanna and loved her, which was awesome. I'm glad my college friends and high school friends can get along. Then we went to Mimi's Cafe and had dinner while Sara was with her family. Then we came back and went to the game night at the library. The boys were quite pleasant; Charlie patiently reminded me how to play Texas Hold 'Em and made a good dealer. I ended up winning the whole pot in the end after losing the entire time. Vegas here I come!!

Only joking. I have terrible luck.

After that we girls decided to play a game of Apples to Apples, which was absolutely hilarious. Then they all surprised me with an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen (Rachel had accidentally ruined the surprise earlier, which was also a hilarious slip-up worthy of America's Funniest Home Videos, but I pretended to be surprised anyway). And let me tell you, that cake was absolutely delicious.

The next morning we all woke up and went to brunch. The Rachels got to experience our "gourmet" school food, and I sucked down some coffee to keep me awake for the remainder of the day. Everybody gave me gifts after that; The Rachels, Kate and Sara got me two shirts from Marshal's, a bag of caramel corn, and a poster. Rachel also brought my best friend's gift down with her, since she couldn't come celebrate with us. Mary Kate got me a grow-your-own-frog-prince and quotation mark earrings (which I fangirl squealed over). Her parents got me perfume from Victoria's Secret. My friends are seriously the greatest :)

It gets better. Saturday night, after the Rachels left, my college friends and I dressed classy and went to Olive Garden to have dinner. We had to wait a little bit to get a table, but it was soooooooo worth it. My God, those breadsticks. I'm still drooling. Then, because I'm actually turning five, we went to McDonald's and got shamrock shakes for dessert. If you've never had a shamrock shake, go to McDonald's and get one right now. Seriously. That shit is fucking delicious.

When we got back, I whooped Chris's ass at Just Dance. (Let me make this clear--I usually don't brag about my Just Dance skills. But Chris was talking smack and was convinced he could beat me every time. Final overall score: Me-6, Chris-1. Owned.)

On Sunday, my actual birthday, we were all so dead we didn't really do anything. However, Sara and I got coffee at Java Central to wake us up, and then we ended up taking a long-ass walk all the way to Africa!

Road, that is. There must have been something in that coffee.......

All in all, it has been one fantastic birthday weekend. I was kind of sad my family couldn't come down to celebrate, but I told them I didn't mind since I'd be home in five days for spring break. This way, I get to stretch my birthday celebration to two weekends instead of one. Yay for more food!

Anyway, time to get Sara into Whose Line. I love dragging people into my obsessions. I feel so evil......hehehehehe........

Two more days until spring break. I can do this. Allons-y!
