Sorry that it's been a while since you've - blah blah blah we're lazy at writing the blog.
Anywho, last Wednesday was MY birthday. I finally turned 21 and instead of going to Prohibiton, a speakeasy themed restaurant/club here in Houston like we had planned, we bought some groceries and stayed home. I think I cried a little. Aaron's mother baked me a wonderful Black Russian cake, which Aaron and I ate all by ourselves instead of sharing with our guests at my party on Saturday.
My party was a fairly intimate affair, with only 5 people coming over. My best friend from high school dropped by to say hello and drop me off a card and balloon. We only see each other every 3 or years (it's sort of a running tradition). Aaron's friend Tank arrived, shortly followed by our other guests. Having everyone in the living room all at once made me realize that most of our friends are a good half foot (or more) taller than us. Boohoo.
I got a vintage glass candy dish from my friend Sam and Judy (my sister's best friend) and her boyfriend got me a teddy bear tshirt in a can. Tank brought over what looked to be a 24 pack of beer and Marcello (a boy from high school) made pasta sauce and ice cream.
My party differed vastly from Aaron's. We did not play a board game, Isaac did not attend, and half of the party was celebrated outside, mostly because it was a pleasant night. I also made a cocktail shaped pinata for the evening, filled with dollar store candy and chocolate liqueurs. A labor of about 12 hours, it lasted about three minutes. Tank managed to break the thing's stem off with a mighty hit, and I surprised myself by bashing it open.

I'm embarrassed to say that that I only remember snippets from the rest of the party. We played a party game where each of us made cards that I found hilarious, I am pretty sure someone let me make s'mores near an open fire pit, I convinced Aaron to wrap up sausages in foil and throw them into the fire. It was fun. Everyone stayed over and I did quite a bit of cooking the next morning. Our house is still a mess.
Now that our birthdays are over, the next big thing we have to look forward to is Comicpalooza in May; so our posts now should focus on more Fanatic subjects until then.
Stay Fanatic!
