parties, college, Damien Rice, recs

Amanda’s party last week was fun. My birthday party with my family didn't go well because everyone argued. I don't know why I thought it would be any different. That's all anyone in my family does; we don't know how to interact with each other without arguing. I didn't get a lot for my birthday; mostly dinky things like sunflower seeds and candy from Becky (good idea to give the fat girl food), Gram gave me some money, and Lib got me Chuck early and the Collector's Edition of Serenity. Obviously, Lib wins at life for giving me geeky awesome things. I worked all day on my actual birthday. They actually announced my birthday over the sound system in the store, which was cool. They've never done that before as far as I know, but most people request off on their birthday. I was elbow deep in chicken parts when they announced it, so yay me. My manager made my birthday cake extra pretty:


The power went out at the college yesterday and classes were cancelled, but our professor made us have class anyways (in the dark, with no air conditioning, no windows, with the bathrooms shut down, and with everyone else gone). I went out for dinner with Lib and left my ID out in the car because I’m not used to needing it to get drinks:

I was so tired yesterday I came home, fell into bed, and slept for 14 hours.

Damien Rice is playing near me on the 11th and I really want to see them, so I might go. I haven't decided yet because it's on a Tuesday night after I've had classes from 9:30 to 6:45.

That is just so damn appropriate.

Oh, Serenity! That cake looks scrumptious. *g* (Sorry to hear about arguing family.) It's cool your manager made you a cake, and they announced it. Sorry about the chicken parts though. Although that's pretty damn funny. *g*

(Oh, and thanks for the crack rec! Yay, crack!)

Happy 21st! I do believe "Elbow Deep in Chicken Parts" is a perfect title if you should ever choose to write an autobiography :)

And dude, just NO on the prof making you have class in that situation. We had a water main break last week that left campus without water, and we had the option to go home. And fuck yes, I did. No way I'm staying to see the consequences of non-flushing toilets and the student body. Inhumane.
