I'm over being old
15 years ago
General
Turned 28 yesterday and I don't even give a fuuuuuck!
The harsh realization hit last year when I was anonymously chatting and was asked my age. It dawned on me if I type my real age I'm going to sound old. I never had that concern before. But...I've had a year to adjust and more importantly contextualize ;)
So, it was a long day!
Slept in to 11am. Obligatory tea, cold cereal, and Daily Show.
Lunch at Angeli Caffe - Chef/Owner is host of NPR's Good Eats show and was recommended by the only food critic to win a Pulitzer for his reviews.
Sold some clothes at Buffalo Exchange, found an AWESOME striped cardigan and plaid flannel shirt. Checkout girl saw my ID and asked, "It's your Birthday?!" then the girl behind me was like "What's your name?" And they proceeded to get the ENTIRE store to sing me Happy Birthday. Sheesh! Embarrassing, BUT while doing it the cashier was giving me multiple gift cards. No way!
Got into work and discovered there was a giant, company wide party! Free In 'n Out burgers, wine, beer, cupcakes, etc. I TOTALLY co-opted it as my Birthday celebration ;) Got drank. Co-workers gifted me 2 bottles of Macallan, some sick beers (Allagasssssh), and a to-die-for pumpkin spice bundt cake w/ cream cheese frosting.
Co-workers made me leave halfway through shift (midnight) and we hit downtown Hollywood (NOT my scene, but I was too gone to resist). Various loud clubs ensued full of tramps and douchey beefcakes.
Slept at work till 8am, jetted to the LA satellite Rally to Restore Sanity. It was SO worth the hangover. If you haven't heard it yet, check out Jon's excellent, inspiring speech:

:o I've totally been to those clubs before. Not my scene at all!
I'll make you a big ol' batch of bagna cauda and mail it to you! :D
The dish, which is served and consumed in a manner similar to fondue, is made with garlic, anchovies, olive oil, butter, and in some parts of the region cream.
Holy crap! DO WANT!
Oh, oh, that's what you had out when I visited. Hurrrr *still hungover*
That bundt cake is drool-worthy
Buffalo Exchange is like an advanced Goodwill. Rather than donate, they will buy your clothes off you (but, they can be picky). It's great for moving on clothes that don't fit right or you just don't wear anymore. Fun to shop at, too! Not as cheap as actual thrift stores, but since they only take good stuff, you don't have to hunt for hours! One of the only places I shop at anymore...

I have your present but I need to give to you in person (heh hehe, *creepy laugh*). Well, don't feel bad, furs have a real knack for rubbing it in about older furs: "God, everyone was like, 30 or something, it was like a retirement home in there or something." I've got at least 2 hooves in the grave apparently.
So happy birthday, sounds like you had a good time. =) *hugs*
I'm completely reliant on google calendar now. Entered all the Birthdays as yearly repeating events. Will never forget again! Plus, facebook is really helpful with that, too.
Do I pimp google products everytime we have some sort of correspondence? lol weird. Thanks again for the kind words!
Happy (belated) birthday, dude!!! I'm gonna have to treat you to a movie, or something along those lines. Or perhaps a leisurely bike ride. Or both. Whatever works ^^
So yeah... let's kick it sooon!
