Birthday Recap

I turned 21 yesterday. Life is good. Life is...intoxicating.

Yeah, I said it.

Several highlights of the day:

- My favorite birthday cards include:
  1. Rachel's birthday card, which was actually a Christmas card. Written across the Christmas tree was "It's a BIRTHDAY TREE!" with an arrow pointing to the ahem...birthday tree.
  2. This card from my voice teacher, Nomi:
  3. The birthday card I got from b.good. Because it gives me a free burger. Yum.
My favorite birthday gifts include:

-The sock monkey pajamas my mother bought me. And the garnet jewelry set my mother and grandmother bought me. But they are less fuzzy and cute.
- The bestest yummiest Tequila ever, courtesy of the lovely generous John D. It came in a box. With tissue paper.

- All the "first-time-I-met-Olivia" stories my friends decided to share during my first-drink celebration at Grafton Tuesday night. It's a good thing I was drinking, because they were mostly amusing and not as embarrassing that way.

- The witty gems my friends give me every day. Like this one:

John talking to Rachel about why she looks older than me. She asserts that it's just because she looks old. He says:

"No, you are young and baby-faced. You just look world-weary. Like an abused Amish housewife. Like you were married at 17 but got slapped around a bit because you were late for the barn-raising."

This is not meant to make light of domestic abuse. Or Amish people. But it was really funny.
