| Birthday recap! |
Well 22 certainly kinged 21 in terms of birthday celebrations! I can pretty much sum up the day in one word - CAKE. Ok, maybe that's a slight exageration, but the was a lot of cake...
The day started at 8am when I was awoken with a tray of cupcakes from my friend Emma-Lee.
 Super cute! Moments later Kathleen came into my room with a brand spankin' new Regina Spektor CD for me! So we put it on and lay in bed eating cupcakes for a few hours :)
When we couldn't face any more cupcake-y goodness, we decided to get active and walk to the shops!.... to buy maple syrup so we could make pancakes ;) So on our way to the shops we had a play in the park, visited the petshop, grabbed a coffee, hired Scrubs season 3 and promised to climb a tree on our way home... such tree climbing adventures never eventuated, however - quite disappointing!
So after we managed to squeeze in one measly pancake (we were still pretty full from an earlier cupcake incident) we settled in to watch a few solid hours of Scrubs. I challenge you to come up with a better way to spend your birthday!
When 4 o'clock rolled around I found myself at the Plough Inn (one missed bus and an $18 taxi fare later!) wandering around outside desperately looking for someone I recognised.. seeing as I had no idea what anyone looked like (with the exception of a few fleeting shots of D'Jen) I found myself sitting hesitantly next to what looked like a homeless man who I figured could have been Adam (hey, he was sitting right in our meeting spot!).
Eventually I sent Jen a txt and she came out to retrieve me and my poor lost soul. She then went on to corrupt me by introducing me to the refreshing and unassuming yet surprisingly potent Pimms! Jen, of course, didn't stick to the Pimms for long and soon moved on to the Long Island Ice Tea's. You're so deleted, you alco ;)
The whole experience was a little surreal to be honest! Meeting people for the first time who know all these things about you and your life... weird! Especially with all my boy talk lately.. I was slightly embarassed that these strangers knew details about my love/sex life! But I suppose that's what you get when you put your life out there on the internet...
What a great bunch of kids, though - When you put a bunch of people who write amusing, interesting blogs in a room there's bound to be a whole lotta entertainment! Adam and Natalie were especially amusing.
 Adam's exactly as I expected him to be (only without the shaggy hair ;) ) Here's my favourite picture of the night! Pictures speak a thousand words and I think this one pretty much sums up the enigma that is Adam:
 Of course it was awesome to see Deb again! And she brought along the lovely Jade who I'd never encountered before but who has been reading my blog for a long time! She's a lurker! That's just crazy, who would read this drivel? Makes me wonder how many other people out there read but don't comment. If you're one of those people leave me a comment today to say hi!!!! :)
 Me, Deb and Jade I had a nice pic of me and D'Jen but I've been forbidden to post it :p Jen was the surprise of the night, I think! She was so gentle and unassuming whereas I think I had expected her to be a little more forthright. What a gorgeous girl, though :) I wish I'd had more of a chance to chat with her.. I loved meeting everyone else! Sorry I didn't get much chance to chat with all you guys.. it was fairly rushed for me - I had a b'day dinner to get to! I just wanna say thanks to Jade for the lift home and thanks to Adam for the sickly sweet beverage you purchased me! I think I forgot to actually thank you at the time ;) It was disgustingly delectable. So then it was off home to change into my party dress and head out to dinner! Everyone was running late - I'd made the reservation at 8pm and only one person was there on time. Everyone else turned up at 8.30pm! Jen I think you'll relate when I say that kinda pissed me off... It's just so rude to be that late to a dinner invitation in my opinion!! That's so not on. Anyway, once everyone arrived we had fun. The food was awesome and the company was great. I was given MORE cupcakes from my friend Zoe! This time they were these amazing gourmet cupcakes of all different varieties.. I wish I had taken a photo! There were pistachio, rasberry, hazelnut, malteaser and something else.. they were pretty awesome! We didn't eat them - Zoe took them home for me (she's underage and couldn't come out!) and I'll pick them up some time today.  Just some poser pics of me before we went out...   Some of the girls after dinner Zoe, Kathleen, Kat and Emma-LeeSo after dinner we headed to Press Club and got stuck into the cocktails! And this is where the memory starts to get blurry... hehe. All I know is I ended up canoodling with a redhead boy named Aiden who was the most amazing kisser ever!! He had the whole systen down pat. 10/10 to you, Aids! My bestfriend Kat was drunk and flirtatious but her boyfriend had gone home so she wanted someone to kiss... and that someone ended up being me haha. So we made out at one point, much to the excitement of the boys at our table. Trust me, there's nothing lesbian about it - it was purely platonic pashing! hahahaha Aiden ended up coming back to my place to crash (don't get any ideas, there was no funny business - all clothes remained on and we went to sleep straight away!) But in the morning as we were lying there cuddling all I could think was that I wished I was with boy #3. Is that bad?? It's been almost a week since I've seen him and I miss him... Hmmmmmmmmmmm I hope I'm not getting too in deep here. I managed to convince #3 to drive me to the airport on Tuesday morning, but I had to sacrifice my monday night shift so we could have dinner together.. Am looking forward to spending some time with him. I think I'm going to miss him when I'm in Melbourne! Argh, I am getting too invloved, here... so now that I've well and truely established/reinforced my promiscuous status (Hi mum & dad!), it's time to wrap things up! Oh, and there was one more cake I forgot to mention.. Kathleen made it for me while I was at the bloggers meetup    full of chocolatey-marshmallow goodness The decorations crack me up! I LOVE IT. It's still sitting in the fridge untouched.. I think I'll give it a go this arvo ;)
PEACE OUT (or some other random sign off)

What an unfortunate nickname Aidan has. I so went into this bash wanting to wish you a happy birthday and I completely, completely forgot! Sorry dude, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Totally rockin' that you had a good birthday night, you've clearly got some awesome friends. Do you think it's wrong that I'm quite amused by photos of myself? I'm so starting a support group.

Woooo, I'm still on your Blog Roll :P
I'm so sad you didn't get to hang around longer, we had the best time ever!!!
I also discovered an even better drink after you left, we shall have to return to the Bogan Pub once more so I can show it to you (I don't remember the name of it, it has a crown on it).
I'm so glad you didn't my pic, when my hair is longer we can re do it and I'll let you post :)
I LOVE that pic of Adam it's so hilarious!!
P.S I need your party dress, where did you get it? It's totally rude people weren't on time to your birthday dinner, I'd be so feral about that.
