Happy 30th Birthday, LaughWithMe!
Back in the day, before the Reunion Tour- I did my best to write daily. I pulled my content from everywhere in order to keep to my deadline. I wrote out lists and shared daily events, linked to things I found interesting, funny or moving and posted photos and illustrations.
One of my favorite regular entries were for birthdays. There were few things better than as a birthday approached, plotting how I could get the most people aware of the birthday and try to make it fun. When the birthday arrived, seeing my entry join others' celebrating that birthday was fantastic. It was like hopping from party to party.
Thankfully, Dessie is having a birthday today. And as we all know, she is a master baker. With that in mind, I thought I'd throw a Birthday Cake Making Party. Make sure to wish LaughWithMe the best birthday in the world!

----------------------
The first step to making a delicious birthday cake is finding the right recipe. Look to your trusty cook book for ideas or a family favorite.
Ideally, you know if a cake is delicious and you can bake it prior to the important day. If you're as good a baker as LaughWithMe, feel free to try this advanced recipe. She probably doesn't even need a recipe. She can walk into a kitchen and make it sing.
First things first, make sure you understand the recipe.
Get your measuring cups and spoons...
then all your ingredients. Make sure you have the appropriate amounts. You don't want to get half way through and stop to run to the store. Got them?
Good. Now toss that shit into the mixer.
Unless you're going for Michelle Obama arms, then you might want to mix it up by hand for a few hours.
How do you feel? Strong? Groovy.
Usually after you mix all the ingredients together, recipes ask you to pour the batter into a greased cake pan. Place it carefully into a preheated oven.
How long you wait is determined by the recipe, but a good rule of thumb is bake the cake for as long as it takes to tell yourself You Are The Best Cook and believe it. If you have to, repeat it over and over.
Ding! Your done.
Doesn't the cake look beautiful?
Yes. Yes it does.
What'cha get?

Now that you have a gorgeous birthday cake, let's get right to the party favor. And for old-time's sake, I'm bringing out Balloon Pop! Pop the balloons to see what you get!

we now return to your regularly scheduled blog posting
while the memories of this year's convention won't soon fade, i know too that i cannot hold onto them forever..hence the story-like chronicling of the week's events, to the best of my then-fresh memory, so i can always remember to never forget. :)
saturday i was invited to go to nags head for a week, where i would be more than welcome. after a quiet mass on sunday that i was almost late to (because of my usual snoozing habits and recovering sleep debt), and brunch at the restaurant where i garnered father's knowledge i'd be going, i came home to be told i was more or less now uninvited, due to circumstances beyond my control. while this was extremely disappointing, apologies were profuse, and the situation understandable, which is where it currently stands, despite my maintaining a silver of hope to the contrary.
i then went to the fredericksburg pub for the first time (behind what used to be the mall and is now being renovated into the "spotsylvania towne centre" in an attempt to be hip and catch up with the current trend that is outdoor malls, like the one in cali where the hard rock was), with jessica and jennelle, two friends from hs i met through a longtime friend of mine, and jennelle's bf, aaron.
though the place trumpets its british authenticity (as did our very not-english server in a kilt), i ordered me some some kind of blue curacao-laced drinked that came in a tall glass with a sugared rim with malibu and some other stuff. very mild-tasting, though i'm glad it wasn't overly sweet or tart..and since jennelle and aaron were splitting one dessert (later two) and i hadn't eaten in a few hours, i asked about some kind of curry fries that the menu mentioned there being some legend behind. our waiter had absolutely no clue what that was referring to, so i went with some buffalo wings as an appetizer, despite my wallet screaming at me to exercise better judgement because the drink was probably already more than i'd typically spend on one meal alone.
midway through, with various iphone whippings out to try to show them neg's urban sports, among other things, aaron remembers a coworker of his from guitar center is having a birthday party at her place for a friend of hers, so we eventually finish up and get headed there in jennelle's caliber. a round of introductions (sean, rachel, tori, rachel, kelly, halfie asian guy) later, i find myself nursing a cherry kool-aid and vodka, engaging in a game of kings and doing pretty well. not two rounds in the birthday girl (jessica) arrives, so more drinks for everyone, and as the others have been drinking since around noon (about five hours ago), everyone breaks off into groups to do their own thing. aaron, getting toasty by this point, eggs me on to try to get in with tori, who's tall, blonde, and busty, but i'm not particularly interested due to both to the events of the past week, as well as the apparent lack of education beyond high school that appears evident in all the party attendees, and the resulting circumstances..not to say that they weren't a fun lot to drink and karaoke with, of course!
beer pong eventually gets set up, with aaron and jessica vs. sean and his gf rachel's little sister. they beat the house in redemption, in both games (despite sean gaining a new, better-experienced partner (hahah that sounded kinda dirty)), which is pretty epic. tori finally comes back in and we actually talk a bit, more or less about how to say things in chinese, which comes as a fascination to her (and others there). jennelle's gotta get to bed early however (because she has to get up at 5AM), so we roll out before 9 (i'd've stayed longer if i were driving myself), with jessica and aaron both pretty toasty, and my being almost sober by this point, because i didn't bother continuing to sip.
while it was a nice detour and welcoming back to good old fredericksburg, not a lot's happened since then..didn't manage to catch up on weekly unemployment filing on monday because i was recapping, but got around to it on tuesday, and sent out a few more résumés for tech support jobs. got a response from a guy who'd worked at uva's miller center and thought my name sounded familiar so he responded asking why i'd gone into IT when my major was architecture. i replied, but haven't heard anything since. may go to bb soon and pick up rock band 2 on 360 for dennis.

Birthday parties and little girls
Today we have to go to our neice's birthday party at the bowling alley. Fun. I will be looking for my earplugs and patience pills today. I know my son will have a ball because he LOVES bowling. He is pretty good at it, too. The party is like an hour from where we live. I have to get dressed here soon...but I am totally not in the mood.
Anyway, we didn't get this child a present for her birthday and I am unsure what we could get her other than a few bucks so she can buy something for herself. We don't really know too much about her since she doesn't hang out with us. Afterwards, we get to chill my loverly nephew. That should be more fun and a barrel of laughs.
I wonder what my hair looks like...LOL! I put it into 4 braids after I washed it so I could keep some moisture in it and I just let them out to dry a bit more before we leave. I hope that it looks decent b/c I am NOT trying to figure out something to do with it before we go.

baby girls birthday
An'alises birthday party at chuckecheeses was a blast. she loved it having all her friends from school and her cousins there made her day much brighter. An'alise is the one on the green racer. She really thinks she can drive better than me. She even tried it once when she was three. She ran into a tree with me running after the truck. She really scared me that day but when I got to the truck she was just laughing. Holding onto the streeringwheel. She turned seven this year and boy is she growing. The kids in the booth are kids from her class and the little girl smiling for the camera is her cousin.

Hoooly Cooww..... (Said with thick northern Minnesotan accent)
Dang. I just woke up. I had crazy fucking dreams.
The most recent one was warped so many times. I guess it starts out by my sister and I sitting at a table infront of a stage with King Crimson. This amazes me. They start playing and go through a couple songs.. wow they're great. It was pretty amazing when they play Frame By Frame.. the dim lit room turned into a bright lit room.. and the floor was empty now except for people at it's edge and there were polished spherical stones about 2.5-3.5inches wide.. I was dancing ON them and holding them.. kind of remiended of David Bowie in Labrynth. Anyway I was dancing to Frame by Frame and there were two LARGEer, about 5 feet tall that I finally jumped on and blablabla the room turned back into to what it was before and I sat for another song. Now that I think aout it.. it might have been a different song..
Then I sat back down again..and I blacked out... I woke up in some bed.. got up looked around.. kind of freaked out that I blacked out at the show. I swear I was mickeyed. I went outside and idk.. I guess I was by a dock and I learn
Man fuck okay there's a lot to write. I'll make it short.
Eventually I turn into He-Man action figure. IDK if it was heman, but anyway, a colleuge was there on a decenting hill and we emerged from a hidden base through a porta potie hah. these bad blue action figures come running at us and we kick their ass! haha Action figures aren't dense and it was very fun to kick their butts! Imagine the density of the blue little meeps. Bwahaha. Anyway
We're running down the hill now to get somewhere quick.. and I guess i"m a human again and there's a girl infront of me.. and she starts giving me a hand job and blablabla I remember I really wanted to fuck her and all I had to do was bend her over but I didn't. It turns out there was another friend of ours that was running after some dwarfs.. ifk what to call them. Anyway I tried to round them up, but then one pulled out a gun so i booked it between two warehouses. dodged right, through a fence, and brush, then to the left.. I had been here before in my dreams. What the fuck. Does this place exist?? haha. Dosen't matter. I look back and the midget is still folowing. I wake up.
Now I'm sure most of you don't care about some persons dreams, but I'm writing this for me. I guess this next part can be for you.
It's my friends 18th birthday party and she's having a heuge one! I am going to go there and get trasssheeedd. Oman it's gonna be sweet. Glad I woke up in time.. Time to eat, shower, steal beer from my mom and book it over there WOOHGHHOOHOHOO!!!
*puts on purple party hat* ^_^
