21 birthdays

I have now celebrated 21 birthdays in my life. And this one was so much fun. I didn't do anything epic like go get drunk or sneak over the canadian border. (although we did talk about that one) But on my actual birthday i did almost nothing. I went to classes, saw my grandma and after LDV went to the blue bird with some friends. But it was wonderful.

Than last night I had my annual invite everyone i know over and make fried rice party. thats what i do for my birthday. and everyone thinks it's so weird that i feed everybody, but i get so much joy out of it.

First I found out that my friend Brad was coming up from Provo. I STARTED JUMPING UP AND DOWN WHEN HE TOLD ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i haven't seen him in so long and I couldn't wait. than i started making dinner. Jordan was the first to arrive, followed by kelton. And then Jon, and i think adam after that. I have so many guy friends, the only time they beat everyone is when your offering free food, which i was. I had so many guys there, i thought it was great. finally girls started showing up. MY OLD ROOMMATE RYLEE CAME AND SURPRISED ME!!!! i literally squealed and ran across the apartment full of people and practically jumped on her. i was so excited.

around 8:30 i finally let Rachel make one batch of rice, in the time it took her to make one, i probably could have made 2 or 3. but a lot of people were done eating by that point. so i went to socialize, i ended up in a cuddle thing with Landon a couple of times. but mostly we just chatted and it was fun. Arounf mid-night everyone decided they wanted to make a subway run, (there is a 24 hour subway down the street from where i live) i was told that i was coming. even though i didn't get anything, i had been coughing all day so my throat was really hurting.

but we get there and everyone keeps laughing and we're going for like 2 hours. I felt bad by the end, i was so tired. And when i get tired i go one of 2 ways really hyper or really grumpy and for some reason the grumpy was coming out, i think it's because it hurt my throat to much to laugh. so at one point i ended up separtating myself from the group, just kind of cause i knew i needed to cool off before i got angry for no reason and kill the fun. than i came home, cleaned a little bit and finally crashed around 3 in the morning.

but it really was a great birthday, i can't believe how many amazing friends I have. And all of them said they were having fun. and thats always what i want on my birthday, to be surrounded by good friends and good food. and if i can get all of them smiling, even better.
