it's friday, i'm in love...

so a week or two ago I had an idea.

I decided to put together a half-surprise birthday party. you see, my birthday is this upcoming Sunday (the 7th) and normally i dont enjoy celebrating my birthday but here is where the twist comes in... one of my best friends, Cole, is going to be in France this next semester. His birthday happens to be in February and he'll be overseas and we're all going to be in school. So the surprise half of the party was for him.

Cole just thought we were going to be celebrating my birthday... but when he came through the door, he had NO idea what was going on... it was awesome.

Some of our friends couldnt make it, but most of them were able to and i had a lot of fun. we ate little ceasars pizza, we had a pinata (which i decapitated), pin the tail on the donkey, cake, hung out, watch MI3... and some other stuff...

something that made me pretty happy was that we were able to take group pictures... somehow these past years i have failed in ever taking a group picture... but we have one now... i just need to get it developed.

thinking about it, i think i know why i enjoyed it so much... you see, i normally do not like celebrating my birthday... personal reasons... anyways, because it was a split party and there was someone else who i was sharing in all the festivities with... things just seemed so much better. i felt i could relax. i dont know why i feel pressure or anxiety on my birthday but today was different.

i enjoyed the party, cole enjoyed the surprise party, and i think everyone else did.
