Birthday Buzz....

It's 11:55 pm as I'm starting to write this. Only 5 minutes left to my birthday, and all I can say is that it's been one of the best birthdays ever. I had a big party at Free Times Cafe, food was a vegetarian buffet, and then dancing afterwards at Tiger Bar. Good company, good food, good music, and way too much booze really was the perfect formula for a fantastic evening. Ha ha ha.

I'm not sure if people actually know how much this birthday really meant to me. After all the bullshit that's happened this past year, not to mention past few years, I wanted to start fresh on my 25th, leaving behind the people and issues that were bogging me down. I wanted to be able to start fresh and look at this coming year as one for me to grow even more, spend more time with my family and friends, and to just have some fucking good fun. I'm at the point where I'm fortunate to be happy with work, be blessed with so many good friends, and of course be blessed with such a caring and loving family (although I think the means by which we express it aren't conventional...). I hope that the people in my life are as lucky as I am to feel the same way.

Anyway, I am off to begin the arduous task of writing thank you notes, and messages back to all the people who sent their love, regards, and birthday wishes. I know that by the end of this night, my hands will fall off at the wrists, but it'll be worth it! Ha ha ha.

And no posting from Patsy + birthday could be complete without a list of lessons learned:

What not to do on 26th birthday:

- vegetarian buffet. I think people will be more happy with a bit of meat
- do a large insane party at a restaurant. Hopefully, next year I'll finally have my condo, and I can host my party there.
- NEVER EVER DO 7 SHOTS IN UNDER AN HOUR
- try and keep eyes open during pictures. I guess being drunk puts me out of sync with the camera :P Bha ha ha!!

Thanks again to everyone who helped make this the best birthday ever..
