My Birthday - May 29th
Okay. So, I am the laziest ass in the entire world. Don't try and argue with me for that title. It's not gonna work.

I want to post a series of entries (of different events) that have happened to me in the past couple months. This is entry one - Birthday Fun


SOOOO My birthday was on May 29th, and it was Memorial day. Which usually sucks, but not this year. ^^

I was woken up at 10:00 AM in the morning by LUMI-SAN!!! *glomps* who drove by my house in her car which is, as we say [er, Tommy Wong says], a 'pimp-mobile'). She had my present all ready for me, and I must say I loved it! It was My Neighbor Totoro - SQUEEE!! ^^

She also made me a card, which I enjoyed more than the DVD (No lie!). It had Cain and Merry on the front, and inside, she wrote a really lovely heartfelt birthday letter. I really appreciate it a lot, and the things she said prove how amazing she is. Yes, I definitely loved the card better than the DVD. *_* (Although the DVD was great, too. lol.)

Then I called her later, and she's like, "I'm at a memorial day BBQ at Liz Sharber's house. *noise in background* You can come if you want - it's for the church."

So I did. I dressed up really special for my birthday. I was wearing a white knee-length tierd skirt in a light fabric, and a white shirt with these cute patches on them. I really liked the look. It was a perfect birthday outfit.

So then my mom drove me to the cook-out, and I met Liz's two brothers (older and younger). We talked and chatted. We had food (MMM!!!). I had a hot dog, and all these different pasta salads. They were good. And I had cookies and chocolate cake, too!

A while after eating, Lumi had to leave for work (yick). I stayed, and Liz's family and some of the parishoners started a volleyball game. I ahve to say, none of us were really that great, but we didn't really care at all, and that's what I thought was the best part. And that's what made it different from volleyball at school. At school, I hate when I mess up and all because I feel like an idiot. But not here.

I watched them play, first, and then I joined. And it was cool.

Then my mom came to pick me up at around three (nooo! ;_; ). I went home, walked the dog, went online and read fanfiction (My new obsession IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED!).

Then I had dinner, which was steak, grilled vegetables (AWESOME!), and noodles (penne). Mmm. ^^

The best part about my actual birthay was how perfect the presents that my mom and my sister gave me.

My mom gave me a car freshener. She said she would, but I thought she was joking. I *did* use it in my car, but it gave me a headache so I had to take it out, and mom hung it in the basement.

My mom also bought me Kamikaze Girls (*squeal*), which I still haven't finished watching. >_> Ironically enough, I'm cured of my lolita obsession (via AnimeNext), but the movie is really great. It's so funny and quirky, it's great.

AND she bought me Apocalyptica - Cult. FOUR CELLOS doing rock music? *drool* I LOVE LOVE LOVE PATH. Path path path FOREVERRRRR. (Um, that's a song on the album, btw). The funny story is, that I decided I wanted Apocalyptica because I realized I didn't actually own an American band (besides boy bands). I don't actually have a lot of bands in general. So anyway, I tell my mom I want this, and then when I'm actually listening to it on my birthday, I realized something.

I was sitting on my bed, and suddenly I said, "Oh shit. They're Finnish, Roxie." I can't believe I forgot! I KNEW they were Finnish, too when I asked my mom - I just forgot. lol.

So I'm still in search of an American band. *laughs*


Well, I took a break there for a minute, to finish watching Kamikaze Girls. *giggles* It was really good! I loved the way everything went. ^__^

Right, so, back to my birthday. My sister bought me a cool coffee mug (a tall one, you know for the car!) form borders. And she got me a gift certificate to borders! (Which I used on a couple things. Mmm. ^_^)

She also bought me this really cute kit of stuff. It had peppermint lip blam, "fancy soap," and sticher's hand cream. It had a thimble and a sewing kit (travel-sized) in it, too. All the artistry on it is themed like the 1950's, and it's really cute. You know, like the typical 50's domestic housewife? But really, this stuff is cute! ^_^ It's times like these I wish I had a digital camera to show you a picture of it. *laughs*

So all in all, my 17th birthday, May 29, 2006, was really great!!! I got FABULOUS presents, and I got to do something cool - hanging out at a barbecue. ^^ (I mean, it was better than staying home all day!)

Here ends the first post in this series, about my birthday. Tomorrow (or whenever): entry two - MVC (DMV) blues. Mata ne!
