Twenty-third Birthday Extravaganza
[photo taken by Robyn, check out other photos she took at my party, here. My own photos here.]. So last Saturday, I had a wine and cheese party with my BFFs. Friends, food, and good drink makes getting old infinitely more bearable.
The day before, bough the cheese and wine for the party. I got a damn good deal on brie (a wheel the SIZE OF MY HEAD, for only $5). Also, I couldn’t resist buying the sun dried tomato pesto, the smoked gouda and irish cheddar, so I ended up buying more food than I needed. After leaving East Village Cheese , I headed to Astor Wines and asked a sales clerk for some good reds, and she recommended a bourdeux and chianti (not like I know anything about wines though..)
On the day of, I slept in and woke up to watch High School Musical 2 (and to tidy up a bit). Then I met up with Anita (who came and visited me from Vassar, yay!) and Tiffany for dinner at Sobaya. Then we went back to my house.
Jess was already there when we finally came home. She came bearing a mix tape and so I popped that in (it’s a pretty good mix, btw). To get the party started, we tried to get a bottle of wine open but it took us like 15 minutes because we (me, Yvonne, Jess, Anita, and Tiffany) couldn’t figure out how to use the cork screw (yes we’re total wine n00bs). Good thing Dre came by and popped that thing open.
A few minutes after the wine bottle opened, Tai, Emm, Robyn, Olivia, Vicky, Jason, and Miranda arrived. Robyn gave me a box of cupcakes, Jason gave me a bouquet or orchids (my favorite!), and Miranda gave me a bottle of white wine. When everyone was finally gathered, Dre (aka Brooklyn to Budapest) serenaded us. He sang “More Than A Feeling” by Boston, which is one of my favorite songs. I tried to sing along, but I knew only one line (guess which one) but still good times.
Than after the performance (and the cake-eating), we played Taiko Drum Master for the PS2, because we’re total nerds.
I <3 <3 <3 my friends.
