well happy birthday america. Amazing that your birthday has nothing to do with the land's actual birth. When exactly was the big bang by the way? Do we have a date? If I cut through the earth can I count the rings to determine it's age?

anyway. Sure, it's monday the 7th and america's "b-day' was three days ago..But if you celebrated like I did you're just now getting around to reading diaries anyway.

Though i guess most of my celebrating was on thursday night. I've got the scars to prove it. seriously, my leg is all cut up and my upper right arm looks as though someone took a bite out of it. I don't remember that as much. apparently Josh took to tackling all of us ladies while we were at his house for after-bars.

I'm back right. well where was I? oh yes, getting beat up by Josh. Well I had started the evening by going out to dinner with KB. I treated us to a swanky restaurant in the Gables that we ended up knowing all the waiters at. Quite nice, the food was superb and they had my favorite beer from Brazil. yum a yum yum.

after dinner we went dowtown and had some beers in her courtyard with some neighbors. a very college-y feeling to it. Which is odd for me 'cause I never lived in any of the college-y apartment complexes. I was a straight from the dorms to the coolest house college kids could live in. So no annoying people in the apartment belo me who are deaf due to listening to their tv at a very loud decibal.

kay. so we drink a few beers then make our way to the Haus. started out horribly boring with Kb getting talked to constantly by some other accountant that she works with. b-o-r-i-n-g. now i know how non-designer people feel when they hang out with me and my studio folk.

the night picks up here with friends of mine walking in. we shall call them saviors. they sat at the table next to ours and I transferred my drunk ass to a different barstool and had a much more enjoyable time. KB and I split and she went off with friends from school and I went back with my new saviors to Josh, Jim, and Chris' new place. .

Very tired at this point and more than tipsy. this combination leads bArb to not remember things. If i'd rather be in bed then you might as well not talk to me. which is probably why i can't explain why i look like I got into a bar fight. try explaining to the guy your dating that you don't know why there appears to be a bite taken out of your arm after you passed out at your ex's house..

whoops. .

so friday, the actual b-day of this interesting nation, was spent mosly in bed. alone, mind you...well not all alone. did go to jeff's about 6-ish? sometime around then. then, yada yada yada, we went out to auburn. I felt like such a loser 'cause i was so tired and i was DD so I wasn't driving. I know i was no fun. though I'm not too sure that drinking and setting off bottle rockets(aka throwing them at each other) is really what i would have loved to be doing....

so i went home reasonably early and went to beddy-bye..

saturday was un-eventful during the day. at night I met up with KB and Jeff at floyd's, where I ran into an old friend from high school that I haven't seen since. missed him. after Floyd's we went and met up with Milo, sarah, and their cuz Courtney at the Haus. good times. We decided to continue hanging out by going to stella blue. .

way weird time there. ran into SO many people from high school that it's not even funny. including a guy i used to have a crush on in high school and junior high. really weird. but at least i got to realize that i should NEVER have wasted so many daydreams on him. not my type at ALL. .

sunday was pretty un-eventful. cleaned my carpets. watched a LOT of movies. went to bed. woo-hoo. .

now i'm at work and also trying to get my cover letter done.
