one year older, none the wiser

to be perfectly honest, i was really not looking forward to celebrating my birthday this year, because most of the people i'm used to celebrating with were not here with me. not to mention the whole planning stage, which was all up in the air right up to the very last minute. that does not bode well with someone who likes things to be as organised as i do. very unsagittarius-like of me, i know.

but all worked out fabulously in the end. after all, what could possibly go wrong with delicious food, good company, alcohol and decent music? we had dinner at Trunk before heading down to Bass Lounge.

Ally, Reb & Patrick

Jeremy, Me & Bryan

Mediterrano pizza

Pasta Bake

Raspberry meringue

the middle section of the night was a blur to me. i don't remember who fed me what shots. all i know is, ewan bought me the shot that killed me; ABC. mixture of absinthe, bacardi 151 and chartreuse. straight after that shot, bryan tapped ally's shoulder, "i think you need to take her to the toilet." how well he knows me! ally thought she'd gently lead me to the bathroom, but i had other plans. i bulldozed my way through the crowd and dragged her along.

i thought i'd made it just in time. this is proof that alcohol clouds your spatial judgement. i was half a step away from the toilet bowl when i did a projectile that landed right before the toilet bowl. ooops! not very classy.

six years ago, i asked ally, "eh. why don't we click ah?"

i definitely need more female friends in melbourne

no idea what's going on here

that didn't stop me from dancing / skanking (depending at how you look at it) until the music stopped and the lights came on. i was stoked that everyone got along so fabulously (i'm starting to sound like kimora), especially ewan, bryan and ally. thanks to everyone who made my birthday so much better than i had expected!

update: i just realised i can be quite a belligerent drunk. i told a bunch of girls to get off our seats, smashed the door in some guy's face, and stuffed ice down ewan's nicely tucked-in shirt. *giggle* i apologise for my drunken behaviour.
