Shit eatin' grin.
Birthday 29 of 2005 was a rebel rousing success!
Night one highlight: I called Ipanema Brazilian Grill earlier that day and said "a few of us are coming tonight around 7ish" to which the hostess replied "we don't make reversions for parties fewer than six and we have a private party at 9 but you'll be fine up until 8:30." When we arrived at seven they had pretty much closed and were only serving bar food. What made this extra annoying was the jerkface that I dealt with when we arrived denied that I had been told coming around 7 would fine...very very rude! After that unnecessary mess, we went to the Bizzarro Italian Cafe in Wallingford. It was yummy and there was free birthday wine so I was happy as a clam.
Highlight night two: I had a number of friends show up at my DJ set and then we went to sing Karaoke in the ID. I performed Benny and The Jets and I got to see the ever so talented Ingrid perform which is always a treat.
Highlight night three: My birthday day on Saturday was a wonderfully epic fun filled day! I went out to a delicious breakfast with Heather at Dragonfish and then I did some shopping for my birthday party outfit. At about one I rushed home to get ready for Kickball opening day. An elaborate and abstract opening day "performance art" piece was written for me during the practice that I missed on Thursday. We placed a treasure chest (that Pam took Friday off work to build) at center field. Dressed as a pirate, I mockingly lumber to the chest and say "Arrrr, alas, I've found my booty, my favorite treasure of all" which I open and yell "IT'S POOP!" In case someone didn't hear me the point was subtlety emphasized by the opened chest having fake shit in it and "POOP" written top of the inside. The bit was again, subtlety I think, driven home by me shoving handfuls of brown pudding down my gullet then rubbing it erotically over my chest while yelling things "Arrrrrg, I love shit" & "look at me, I'm a pirate, and shit's my favorite thing in the world" and my personal favorite "arrrrrrr germs". As I yelled my taunts and flung shit on our opponents each member of my team Champain Jammm stood behind me with letters that spelled out "YOU ARRRR LAME" which they then dropped to come bum rush and beat me down. We lost the game in overtime but I feel it was a moral victory. Photos of the skit and our after game celebration below.
After a long shower to clean the fake poop off me we headed to the Panda for my party! So fun! I made a birthday grab-bag full of hello kitty socks, tofu guy zipper clips, Pom Pom Purin candy tins, and other fun items for people who came to the party. The highlight of the night was when Heather "best girlfriend in the world" Nolting gave me one of the circuit bent speak & spells that I JOKINGLY requested people get me for my birthday. She also brought party favors and mini bunt-cakes for everyone to enjoy. Despite some of my greatest meals being Heather creations and her being a former junk food cook off winner she was worried her bundt cakes weren't good enough. They were of course great and for added confirmation of that at the end of the night I saw Brad, Corey, and Erik taking some to for later. I said, "see look the gays are running off with all your extra cakes, they must be good!", she agreed. It was a super night of drinking and hanging out with friends, exactly what I had in mind. It was so great to see everyone! A huge thanks to everyone who showed up, it was one of my best birthdays in recent memory!
Now it's time to start thinking about the three zero next year.

Glad you had a good time, Pirate boy.
That was an awexome birthday. I liked the Hello Kitty socks. And messin' with the Speak 'n' Spell was wicked fun!
Also, the bundt cakes _ruled_.
Yes, the bundt cakes were delicious. I ate my take-home chocolate one for breakfast yesterday. I was also very excited about my PomPomPurin candy tin. I feel like a shithead for not bringing you, the birthday boy, a gift, while I left with gifts from you! That was the funnest Saturday ever. My 3-0 is coming up soon and I hope you'll help me come up with good ideas...
-P
I'm just glad everyone had a good time! For reals, I just liked having an excuse to hang out with everyone. I love my friends.
