so last night...
my intentions for going to paul's "guinea pig session" was to just have 1-2 drinks. i wanted to support the new bartender. but, that wasn't the case. oh well. i had fun. drinking games like "red or black", "odds or evens" and "99" was fun. what wasn't fun was when pj decided to write on me with a permanent marker. oh pj. anywho...we or i stopped drinking at around 1ish and i was way too drunk to drive fatima home and myself, so we crashed on the sofa bed. i was knocked out, but paul was so kind to give me centrum and water. not sure if that did the trick, but im not hung over. just tired. we woke up at 530 and i got back to my brother's at 6. my parents called me at 8 and -- me being dead honest with them -- told them that i just got home a couple hours ago. oh well. they're in another state right now. instead of a 5min shower, i was in there for 15min. i came out like a raisin. (thanks pj!) stupid writings wouldn't scrub off and i think i missed the writings on my upperarms cause i couldn't reach. good thing i packed a 3/4 sleeve cardigan. anywho, i got to work at 9. my cube is decorated...streamers and balloons everywhere. my co-worker made me a cake and the surrounding cubicle squatters sang "happy birthday" to me. i got a bag of 12 McD's hashbrowns from another co-worker, so i totally smell like oil right now. lunch at vong's thai kitchen at 12. cant wait. ill write some more later...

im stuffed. had peanut noodle salad. my mom told me that for 24 years, ive always had noodles on my birthday so i didnt break tradition. long noodles = long life. its 145pm and im tired and kind of nervous.

its 515 and im going to have my 1st ever happy hour with my co-workers...ever! then afterwards, the real drinking begins.

im nerBous!
