I am officially in my mid-20s. The big ol’ two-five. How scary! Not really. It’s exciting. I love birthdays and I don’t mind a big getting older. Perhaps that’ll change when I’m inching towards new decades but right now, I’m just fine In the picture above, one of my coworkers brought in a giant cupcake with candles all lit and they all sang me happy birthday. I had just clocked out and it was midnight, so it was done pretty much on the dot. How awesome, right??

Things in the apartment are slow-going as far as unpacking goes. I’ve also missed two weeks of “laundry day” Thursdays. I’ll try catching up tomorrow. I need to get shit done soon, since my Marinara friends are coming down the 2nd weekend of September to visit!! I can’t wait! I miss them tons!!

Last night I went to my first drive-in movie in, oh, probably 15 years! My friend Jessica and I took her truck with the roomy cab and watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Captain America: The First Avenger. I don’t think I would have seen them otherwise. I’m just not a theater-goer much these days unless it’s something I seriously need to see in theaters. Say, oh, like the Harry Potter films haha. It was great times and the fact that you can talk to each other, smoke, drink, eat whatever all through out is a huge perk next to the $8 for two new releases! Hells yeah!

Tonight, the husband and I will be going out with a few friends to our first San Diego/Hillcrest gay bar! I’m definitely excited! Tomorrow is when I’m celebrating my birthday at our bar with karaoke and such. Sunday will be a day of recovery

The Forgot To Hit Post ETA: I never posted this and that’s kind of embarassing since it was kind of a time-sensitive thing. Everything went pretty well for going out to the gay bar until we discovered a ton of charges from one place hit our account all that day, which kept us from drinking as much as much as we wanted¹. What was supposed to be my party for not only my non-coworkers, but my coworker friends as well. Nobody but 4 of my non-work friends showed up. Also, the karaoke machine had broken. And we were still broke. At various points I felt like tears would well up because I felt hurt and I was bummed! However, I felt stupid because I had had such a great time on my actual birthday. You win some, you lose some. It just made me so angry that people RSVPed yes and had told me they were excited for it, even allegedly getting the night off… and nothing. No advanced notice that they couldn’t come because of work or whatever else… Really?? That’s rude. Rude rude rude. *deep breath* I’m just glad that I did have friends who were there for me BOTH nights. They’re the best Like, for serious!
