I don't know what I did to be so blessed, but it definitely wasn't enough.

So, my birthday was freaking kick ass. Seriously. The night before I went out swing dancing with Craig where they had a LIVE band and danced till my feet were sore. Then we went to Dempsey's so I could reserve a table for my birthday and to have a drink with Chuck. Chuck gave me his gift. You know what it was? He tracked down Nelson a good friend of mine from when I first moved to college who I lost track of completely 4-5 years ago. BEST birthday gift EVER!! It was good to see Nelson again. Then I hung out with James (which kicked ass)!

My birthday was a flood of well wishes (from everyone but my father who didn't answer when I called or return the msg I left on his voicemail... who didn't see that coming)!! Seriously, thanks everyone here so much. Between here and myspace and facebook and the phone, I don't think 15 minutes went by all day that I didn't get someone saying happy birthday (might be a slight exaggeration), but really, I was just in awe of how loved everyone made me feel!!

Then I went out to dinner with a group of friends and after that bar hopping down town before walking back to the hotel to pass out. Oh, and I won $100 at a costume contest at the basement bar!! Seriously, the day just kept getting better and better. For reals. Photos under spoiler (there's a lot of them!!!!)

SPOILERS! (Click to view)


Me in the bathroom of the hotel room (which was not clean when I got there... seriously hilarious. There was a half eaten candy bar sitting on the desk that made me giggle). This is my make-up fresh... it looked so much cooler in person.


Me and Nelson!!!! God, he hasn't changed a bit! It was so much fun seeing him again. I used to practically live at his house my Freshman year in college. He's also where I adopted the line "You're so young that I could get arrested just for talking to you" from that I use on all the high school students at work.


Me and Stephta (we call everyone at work by their usernames on the mozart system)


Cody and me. Cody is my birthday champion yet again! First to arrive at the restaurant and crashed at the hotel with me so the last to leave. Also the first one to buy me a shot. tongue


Me and J-bob


Does this guy not completely look like the young Indiana Jones or what? I talked to him for a bit and he sounds like he is completely obsessed with everything Indiana Jones. He was fun though.


Me and my teddy bear. I was walking around with my lips pushed together and some girl totally thought that I had actually sewn my lips shut for the costume. When I opened my mouth to tell her no, she was really disappointed. bar lighting made my costume look beyond awesome.


Favorite shot of the night, taken by J-Bob. Captures the cutesy creepiness of the costume so perfectly!! ♥ biggrin Oh, and those eyelashes are wicked awesome... also the most expensive part of my entire costume... tongue


Kimmie and me!! She's way too pretty for words! And the sexiest rainbow bright ever!! She's also hella awesome.


Lindz and I are queens of the silly face photos


More Lindz and I!!


Me and my boss Heather


Me and (I think his name is) Chris... He's one of the many people that know me in Fargo purely as Shortstack. Thanks myspace! This was at the basement bar where we sang Time Warp and got the biggest audience response of the night with it. I think mostly because of my costume.


Me with my favorite sushi chef of all time. I love this guy so much, I'm sad I didn't go have sushi on my birthday, but at least I still got to have a shot with him!!


Aubray and me... can you tell I'm getting pretty wasted by this point? Eek!


This was my personal favorite costume of the night. Not only did this guy have the full stripper outfit WITH a pole. Not only did he also have a fake nose AND cat ears. But he also moved like a stripper all night dancing with the pole like a pro. It was great. I love this guy.


Every year on my birthday I drink Morgan Cokes all night long. I also track down somebody dressed as the captain to pose with. It's tradition.


This guy was great too. He was dressed as road kill and when I walked by him on the way to the bathroom he made me laugh by saying "I'm sorry did you say you wanted my number?" when I asked for a photo.


Cody woke me up at dawn to say goodbye since he had to go to work. I took this photo. I was so happy to get to take a shot of the sun rising on the day after my birthday. Especially such a pretty one.


The mess the morning after.


I bought kiddie wine to drink with my cousin (who's sworn sobriety for life)... we hardly drank any. I love how pretty the blood sprays look.


I love this shot since it shows so much of the stuff I used to make the look. I ♥ makeup.



So many photos!! Kinda feels like you were there with me now, doesn't it? wink Yeah, as you can see, I totally had an awesome night. Completely. And now I have California to look forward to!! This is going to be the awesome!!

Love,
Rizzy
