Hitting my stride.
I didn't plan a single thing for my birthday but it wound up being pretty fucking awesome. Lindsey arrived on Wednesday morning and that was really all I wanted for my birthday anyway. That night we went to say goodbye to Daniel and Dennis who were leaving early the following morning to spend Christmas in Hawaii with their family. Because of all the traveling I'd done the past few weeks, I hadn't been able to see him -- or anyone else -- so I was really looking forward to hanging out with everyone. And of course having Lindsey there made it even better because I really want her to spend time to get to know my friends. After all, they're family.

Daniel's birthday present to me was a gift card to Subway, which is perfect, obviously, since I eat there like 12 times a week, but what made it even better is the card was personalized with this picture on the front. Amazing, but HOW GAY! I'm not sure I can ever actually use it now. At least, not at my regular Subway. So, we're all drinking and laughing and having a great time and suddenly it's midnight and Esther buys me a shot of something delicious and lethal. It either tasted like cake or fruit... I can't remember. But it was good. And then I challenged Kelly to Guitar Hero 3 (apparently Wednesday nights at Capri is Guitar Hero night) and got wailed on. ON THE EASY SETTING TOO. So shameful. But good times.

Yesterday at work I got these beautiful roses from Lindsey, and then when I got home I got even more treats. One of them was this weird ping pong paddle... one side is all fuzzy though, which I don't understand. I mean, I like it, but I don't even play ping pong! I can't even talk about the other gifts, but I can say that I got a birthday lap dance that was a whole lot sexier than the one shown here, I promise. Fast-forward a couple of hours and we finally got around to ordering some take-out Thai food for dinner. We ate it in front of the TV while catching up on DVR'd Office episodes from months ago. And then we fell asleep on the couch around 10:45. I couldn't have scripted a better birthday. So happy. My 27th year has gotten off to a tremendous start.

Perhaps tone isn't conveyed in your post here... but yeah, you do know what that paddle is, right? ;)

And please tell Lindsey that a response to her zines are on their way, I've just been busy writing a 50 page thesis, dealing with crazy parents and preparing to be out of the country for two weeks.

Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas!!! :)!!

You’re adorable. Like a fella who doesn’t realize he’ll soon be writing a letter to Penthouse Forum.

Happy Birthday, my friend.

Happy birthday! I even remembered. I was sitting at my desk yesterday writing the date and it popped into my head. "I should email him." But then I got caught up in preparation to leave for the holiday and, well, now I'm commenting.

Hahahah, thanks James. It's crazy how quickly the days start slipping away as you get toward the end of the year. There's so much going on and so much to do that it's easy to lose track of things. At least that's my excuse for totally forgetting to call one of my friends (and ex-roommate) on his birthday. Ooops.

Happy birthday, Michael. Nice "ping pong" paddle...

You, I, and the dozen or so other people I know with birthdays in this 2 week Christmas span should start a revolution and move Christmas. ;)

the subway gift card thing cracks me up because my work's party today had an optional gift card exchange.. like 10 people wound up doing it, and one of them was a subway gift card. it kept getting traded for other shit because nobody really wanted it. I totally thought of you. hahahaha
