Welcome to your Mid-Twenties
May. 14th, 2004 04:59 pmI've been meaning to update all week -- and now the week is over!
Scandal!
So I turned 24. I'm old. And ancient. And it isn't so bad.
Saturday was one of the best days in my recent memory. ( Yeeee Haw! )
The party was scheduled to start at 8, and it was about 7 when I got home. I put out the food, and did little last minute preparations while Rob & Mason went home to change their clothes.
People started arriving pretty much ontime and the gifts began to flow in!! Most people were too afraid to try my family's secret punch, but it was pretty good, even without being cut with club soda. I would say for people to try it again in a couple days ... but Chris poured it out while he was housesitting, but alas.
The crowd was still good, and lots of people came that I didn't expect to! By my second glass of un-cut punch, I didn't really care whether people were having a good time or not, because I was having a great time!
I also found myself possessed by the greedy present monster. .
Here is my l00t list!
Anyway, thank you to everyone who made my birthday special. Pat is downstairs. We are going to Costco. I will have to update further later. Gah.

Here is my l00t list!
- A beautiful PS2, to replace the one I'd sacrificed to the broken relationship gods.. According to my lovely card, I should thank Natasha, Keir,
corneredangel,
reene (who also coordinated the whole gift!), John, Matt,
grysar,
virgovirago, Adam,
unreason, Steve. And um. I think that's it. Did I forget anyone, Reene?
- The Best Gift for a girl with a new PS2 - a Best Buy giftcard! From
kamalloy
- Another perfect gift (that I've already used to buy two pre-viewed DVD's) - a Blockbuster gift card from
reverend_dave
- Gandalf the White! With Staff Extending Action! Try to say that without laughing! From Rob. So good!
- Beautiful set of LOTR from Jesse & Nicole
- The Last Unicorn from
capfox AND (by mistake)
helloneko
- The Eye Toy from
jammie718,
puckylunk and
delirum6969! A fabulous little toy that is very addictive and very good for parties. There is amusing video somewhere (Terry? Terry?) of Chris swatting away ninjas with his kung-fu accuracy. Certainly something that I shall enjoy muchly. And that will make me exercise! Yay!
- Items received long before the party: a new power cord for my iBook to replace the broken one AND a 128 MB Jump Drive from Mason :)
Anyway, thank you to everyone who made my birthday special. Pat is downstairs. We are going to Costco. I will have to update further later. Gah.
