Happy Birthday to Me.

Plan:
Spot myself three shots.
Make brownies.
Eat cheesecake.
Watch Wrath of Khan.

Success? MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

I think I managed around six shots total for the night, if you count the one and a half smirnoff ice I also had. (4.5 shots + 1.5 malt beverage = 6 shots) As usual, I totally underestimated the time it would take to sober up. However, I’m home. And I’ll be sober by, ha ha, morning. That’s right. I HAVE WORK IN THE MORNING. However, I’m professional. I can drink and totally be in work in the morning. LIKE A BOSS.

Trent, Erik, (and eventually Liz) dropped by. While I did spot myself three shots, I wouldn’t have had the other shot(s) if they didn’t drop by. What, do you think I’m completely stupid? Ha ha.

I found myself equating Wrath of Khan and Search for Spock to, well, life. I was drunk, not high, so it’s not like I was just making shit up. There’s a lot of themes at play in those movies. Chasing something unattainable. Revisiting a familiar, vile enemy. Being beaten into submission, and somehow finding a way to crawl out of it. Sacrificing that which matters most to salvage everything else. Giving up everything to save that which matters most. Risking your reputation to save someone you care about. Sacrificing everything to save yourself. And um. I don’t know. Typical me being emotional. Those two movies just mean so much to me, I can’t put it into words.

As the joke goes, at least I didn’t cry and start begging my friends to cuddle with me. That joke dates back to the 2005 Fourth of July party, but it’s a very important reminder of the undercurrents. Liz mentioned that she’s never actually seen me depressed. I pointed out to Erik that I’ve been far, far worse. He’s seen me depressed. The post-Paige depressed where he and Cliff came over, all ready to have a good time. And I managed to drain all life out of them.

I’m uploading a video now (1:30 AM EST), however it’s going to take a bit to finish uploading to youtube. So. I’m going to .. SLEEP. So I guess I’ll post this in the morning.

Okay. It’s morning (7 AM) and I’m still retarded enough post this. I mean. Why the hell not? WOOOOO.

Remember kids: Never drink alone. : D

Oh, and the brownies are delicious. I should clearly get drunk and start cooking more often!

You still use a VCR, that is seriously cool! Aww they’ll totally love you in work if you bring them brownies. 🙂

Making fun of you? No way, dude. I wish mine still worked. Sadly, my baby will never get to experience it.. 🙁

happy birthday!

This is hilarious. Your friend has some interesting facial hair. I’m surprised you guys like the shots. No beer? No mixed drinks? Well, you get to the intended buzz sooner and it’s less complicated in the process, I guess. I can’t believe you’re 28 now. Where has the time gone? Happy Belated Birthday, Timmy! You are very much like my youngest brother. This is great.

I didn’t watch the whole video because it was making me woozy with all the moving around. But Happy Birthday old man! 😉

Bloody hell, you never told me! I hate you. Also, happy birthday! Sounds like you had a crazy time.

Happy Birthday Hon.

Duuude, that one bite that’s missing from that slice? That was TOTALLY ME. I think I was hungry in the middle of the night or something? Either way, I was like, lol I’m only going to take one bite and then PUT IT BACK. Also dude, you lose your balance VERY QUICKLY. More quickly than I do, which is interesting, since my hand-eye coordination goes second (right after my ability to clearly form syllables). Trent seems kind of irritating. SORRY TRENT, IF YOU’RE READING THIS. I was going to make it private, but eh, who cares. He’s probably a nice person, but he seems pretty annoying in this video! Eric’s beardstache is epic.

Happy birthday! I’m pretty sure I feel alcoholic when I am drinking alone lol! Glad you had a fun birthday sux that you had to work the next day.

slightly bitter

I totally want to hang out and get drunk with you and your friends now. Also, Erik is hot. 🙂

By the way, in response to your note on my NaNoWriMo Ate My Soul entry (http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=D470978&entry=10019). You suck at context clues, because I say right here in the bullet points: Moved to South Carolina to housesit for an uncle. I’ll be here until June next year, all alone except for their two dogs. It’s cool, I still love you.

Ha ha I stumbled across this as I was up at 3 am, by myself, drinking brews. So it made me feel less lonely and like I was there with you to celebrate your birthday! I would have taken some birthday shots with you! woo hoo! And ate a birthday brownie! YUM! Awesome that you posted this, you have a nice looking pad and I have the same red skillet on the stove as you do! Ha!

“Something in me says don’t drink this.” *gulp* That was classic! Glad you had such a good time. 😀
