An overview of my 21st

And, the time came for me to join the ranks of many who have gone before me - to bars, restaurants, and clubs - to celebrate the 21st birthday. Here is a somewhat brief overview of everything that occurred on that felicitous day :)

I had my first legal beer at 12am on Friday, in the green room of the theatre, after O'Malley's March played. O'Malley's March was EXCELLENT. When I came I was a little grumpy and pissy, but by the end I was getting my groove on gladly at the front of the stage. After seeing that man in his muscle shirt, I'm fairly certain Mayor O'Malley could kick any other mayor's ass. Anyway. So we (Jon, Herb & his wife, Pecoraro, Fratto and I) were in the green room having beers and Mayor O'Malley comes in and plops down and starts chatting with Herb about random political stuff. So that was very cool, and I definitely can say that I had my first beer with the Mayor of Baltimore.

And then the night progressed... We went down to the garden apartments and hung out for a little bit - and two of the band members from O'Malley's March were with us. Tiny got everyone in the apartment to sing happy birthday to me, which was very nice :) Didn't stay out too, too late since I was exhausted from getting up at 5.45 in the morning.

When I got back to my room, the door was all decorated by sisterhood... it was very neat, and I was actually surprised :)

After I got up the next day and showered etc., Jon and I went to the MVA to get my license changed. We stopped quickly at the mall and then I spent the afternoon just chillin with the girls at Fall Fest (which was conveniently on my birthday).

I went out to dinner at Johannson's with my parents, Sandy, Theresa, & Thomas; Jon, Jon's mom, Jessie, & Clint. Mom brought my cake, which I was very happy with (and consequently, I believe I will have that for breakfast), and I got presents from everyone, which I was very thankful for. I had only two drinks there, a hurricane and a malibu & OJ, but they were both good. Dinner itself was excellent, and I think everyone had a good time and it was very special for me :)

After I got back I was repeatedly surprised with gifts that people had gotten for me. Just blown away. Thank you everyone over and over because it was really touching.

We then went out and partied at the gig Jon threw for me. Which was excellent. I think everyone had a good time. And I was psyched that Katie and Allyson could make it there :) Yay for friends from home! The entire time was just a blast with the music going and getting my drink on, hehe.

Let's see. Then the party cleared out at around 12ish because campus safety was on their way... said goodbyes to Katie and Ally, then went to find another place to continue the partying. Chilled at the theatre again for a little bit, then went down to the Garden Apartments and wound up having some craazy fun until like 3 the morning.

And now, it's all over and I have to get back to the grindstone with everything that I need to do for tomorrow ^_^ Oy.
