happy birthday to me!!! ♥

today i turned 21!!!

i'm finally 21!! but it's not like i was waiting to turn 21. it's just that 21 seems to be kind of a big deal.

i had a little party/get together on saturday. i rented a party bus and we cruised on down to diamond plaza. yeah, nothing fancy. i just wanted the party bus. xD
the people who came dressed up a little and we danced in traffic [as dan put it] all the way. it was SO fun. i like it when music is louder than what i usually have in my car. but not in my room because it's not surround sound. so anything that gives me surround sound dancing music is fantastic.

i wore my new, white, lacey dress i bought at liz lisa in japan. i was hoping to find a dress in japan and when i saw it, i had to try it on. aiko was with me and she approved so i splurged a little and got myself the dress. =]
all the ladies looked hot and the boys looked nice. i totally wanna get a party bus again in the future.

at diamond plaza we took some pictures then went to separate eating places. we joined up and took some purikura at cue. lily and dan took their first purikura together and it was funny watching them try to decorate it. we had a few hours but it went by kinda quickly after eating and before we knew it, it was time to board the bus and dance back to carson.

people were a little bit more mellow on the way back. maybe because the driver took back the alcohol. but at one point, nearly everyone got up and started jumping/dancing near the back and i was so scared that the driver would notice and tell us to stop. xD
we got back right at 9pm and the driver went away. we loitered in the parking lot for about 30 mins maybe, taking more pictures, jump starting alberto's car, and deciding what to do next. by default, we went to kelly's house for the after party. we ordered pizza and watched disney's hercules.

at the end it was only me, mike, mark, cookie and favio. we spent a good while trying to figure out what gods/goddesses were shown in hercules. then we veered off into so many topics, one including the wilhelm scream where mark said something and had me and kelly doubled over from laughter.
they eventually left and i waited until it was light to go back home. i left kelly's around 6:45am i think. got home and knocked out.

it was an awesome party. thank you to everyone who came [even though most don't even know about this blog].

today, on my actual birthday, i woke up early after only a few hours of sleep and went to work. i made sure to look cute. my desk was decorated with birthday banners, a balloon and sprinkled with confetti. mari gave me some earrings she made. they're so cool. later i got a strawberry shortcake cake from my coworkers.

i want to do something tonight, but don't know what yet. i just don't want to go home.

happy birthday to me! bye! ♥
