This year was the best birthday ever. I started it off properly, but delivering a birthday speech long distance to vasuda, who was in a proper state to hear it, whilst standing naked underneath a massive hoodie on my balcony, lighting off bottle rockets*.
Friday was painfully long as I waited to go and retrieve Phil from Union and meet up with Bean. In actual fact, picking Phil up got all effed but we got him eventually, and he gave me his amazing, 6-years-in-the-making, stolen-from-the-physical-plant, skate-sticker-covered exam chair. I teared up. He can even show me which ones I gave him to put on.
The three of us went to Ben's, where we met up with everyone else. I periodically reminded everyone it was my birthday, and had too much to drink. Ben baked me a cake, which we ate.
From there, we went to the boat, where we danced.
*in actual fact, only one bottle rocket made it off the balcony - the speech was interrupted when I hit the building across the parking lot from me, and I ran back inside and jumped directly into bed, stating "they won't suspect the girl in bed", then jumping right back into my epic monologue, without skipping a beat.
