birthday recap
the days leading up to my birthday were horrible. everyone around me was acting retarded and suspicious. i was convinced that i would end up having the worst one ever - yes, even worse than last year when the psycho ex girlfriend of the boy i was dating turned up at his house at 4 a.m. and broke everything in his house!
i was thinking about just sitting at home and sleeping it off but i wasn’t allowed to. one of my friends sent me this e-mail after i whined about how i did not want to do anything, about how i wanted to be left alone:
yes, whether you like it or not, kicking and screaming, you have to be dragged through the whole getting older thing. Actually let me remind you why we celebrate. Yes i have to bring in the apes, jungle, genetics…i know you love the arguments. Its to celebrate the fact that you have managed to reach a luscious delectable age of 27, escaped natural calamities, typhoons and stuff, dreadful wild animals ( i don’t mean the male variety of our species) who might have had you for dinner…or in your case should i say a snack. So fuck the typical response of ‘oh my gawd i want to be a pre-pubescent with a pea for a brain’ and go out and have fun. Celebrate!!
i love this girl!
so anyway, the boyfriend knew that i wasn’t interested in going to a stupid club and being surrounded by strangers so he threw a surprise party for me - which wasn’t such a big surprise because everyone had been acting SO weird that day that i knew something was up. but it was BRILLIANT because a lot of friends were there and the boy took care of every single detail, down to the kinda music i like, my favourite cake, the helium balloons, confetti, alcohol and FIREWORKS!!
unfuckingbelievable.
and the next day, i was treated to flowers, lunch, a massage at some place and a spa treatment!
and the day AFTER, when i had thought that it was all over, he gave me my gift:
an iPod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and a playboy bunny mug:)!
i am completely impressed by the boyfriend who has by now more than made up for his suspicious and retarded behaviour of last week (which i could not have dealt with, without the extremely wise kristie’s advice - thanks, babe).
however, the boy has some major competition because i am falling in love with the iPod…although i actually had SO much trouble installing it and getting it to work that i am actually NOT that impressed with my first experience with an apple product (sorry baron, i know you’re a mac man).
plus, i got a TON of wishes from everyone i know in my city, everyone from back home and everyone online!!
so basically, i’d say that this has to be the best birthday EVER - turning 27 and becoming a budhee* isn’t so bad when you’re surrounded by such awesome people and so much love!
*old woman
Anytime, babe. Glad you had a happy birthday. I love my iPod soooooo much. And if you’re a budhee, I’m Methuselah. But then again, I like it. I wouldn’t be younger for anything.

I just think it is great that your sixteenth birthday fantasy came true before the big 3-0.
The boy seems great though. We have a keeper. Ding ding ding ding!

Ah Babooshka* I’m glad you had a good birthday. Ok so the install of the iPod didn’t go to plan but tell me now you wouldn’t kill anyone that tried to remove it from you eh eh!

ghost, that makes you a budha!
ali, i’m also glad that my surprise party dream FINALLY came true! i felt a bit too old, standing there, in all my budhee glory, with the happy birthday letters strung up on the walls and balloons all over the place, but it was about fucking time that it happened!
and yeah yeah, i AM falling madly for the iPod - it’s so beautiful!
thanks for the wishes, everyone.

Rocky the ipod like other apple products is notoriously easy to scratch. So to prevent yourself from emitting a blood curdling scream down the road, buy a protective cover pronto.
Comment by ali — August 23, 2005 @ 3:16 pm
yes yes buy a cover. a bloody must even if expensive….
and- 27? old?! old?? nah!
