21st Birthday

Well, despite all the hard times I went through on the day before, my birthday turned out to be a blast. I woke up around 9:30am or so and took a shower, went into work for a couple minutes so they could use my bank account to exchange our tip change for bigger bills, and then went to Movie Tavern with my grandma to see Inkheart. I've never been to Movie Tavern so it was really cool. We paid for our movies, grabbed a menu, then went into our theatre. In front of us were buttons we could push to call a server when we were ready to order. I had a Spicy Buffalo Chicken wrap. It wasn't bad at all. The movie was not bad either.

After that, I went back up to work to pick up my tip money (which was low this week but I had the most hours out of everyone) and deposited it into my bank. Sweet action, let me tell you.

Then I went up to school for my business speech class. I actually enjoy that class. It's real interesting and the teacher is actually real laid back and will listen to our input.

Afterwards, I went to Genghis Grill, my favorite restaurant, to meet up with Jennifer. That was a blast. At first when I got there, she hadn't showed up yet so I was just waiting. The waiter came by a couple times, which I thought was odd but I think he was making sure I was okay because I kept staring off into space while I watched The Biggest Loser on the television. Finally Jennifer showed up, grabbed her bowl and said "Lets get in line. I'm freaking hungry." So, we built our bowls and handed them to the "Mongolian chefs" to prepare for us. While we waited, we got the waiter to bring us a couple Hurricanes and a Coors to start us off and chatted with him about what shots we should get. I ended up getting a 4 Horsemen and Jenn got a Royal F***. When he brought them I looked at mine and got a bit freaked out. That thing was DARK! I figured if I was going to get sick after drinking that, I should probably eat my meal first so I don't ruin my appetite. (I love food.)

Well, finally we finished up our food and drank our Hurricanes. Those were okay...

Then we took our shots and oh man... that was something else. It was so strong going down but had a minty aftertaste. It wasn't terrible but it was crazy! When I finished that, I literally went cross eyed, forgot that it was our waiter and not Jenn's boyfriend, and sang Happy Birthday to myself loudly because no one else would.

Afterwards, we drove to Arlington with Jennifer's friend, Emily, and her boyfriend to get something then went to the bowling alley. Emily had so much fun with my random words like "Where is the president?" and laughing at me when I randomly said "I don't know." Bowling was a blast. I literally screamed everytime someone bowled. I ended up winning the first game and didn't get to finish the second game because I had to head home. By that time, my alcohol finally was wearing off.

I got some nice gifts. I got about $50 from my grandma and aunt to go towards my GPS (that I finally bought yesterday!!), of course I got the movie and lunch from my grandma as well, some awesome viewers bought me a domain which was AWESOME, I got about $40 (okay, technically $41. 47...Dane sure is an odd fellow. Haha.) in Amazon gift cards, a Mario hat from Harvey, permanent markers and body scrub from people at work, a $6 Jamba Juice gift card, breakfast from the Assistant manager at my work, $30 to Aeropostale.com from Bobby, and a couple cards. It was so much more than I expected. I really appreciate everyone who made my 21st birthday as awesome as it became.
