Its my Birfday today. Taking a cue from Jerome, I let my friends know, and I have to say its a pretty nice feeling. Before, in highschool and part of college, I never told anyone. My friends would find out somehow, and maybe take me out to dinner, or something to that effect...but I never made an announcement of it. Mainly because back then, I suppose I didn't want a big fuss made over me. I didn't want to be the center of attention...me at the table with the cake in front of me, and everyone looking at me singing happy birthday was frightening.=) But now, I see it in a different way. Its pretty cool having people congratulate you, take you out, treat you, all in the name of you being born. And those balloons tied to your ears a la Friday's? Hell, bring it on...I wouldn't mind.
Tonight, D took me to play some pool. Tomorrow, I hope to get together with some more friends and hang. No clubs though...not for awhile. I'm all clubbed out. I'd prefer a nice dinner and engaging convo any day of the week at this point.
And now, I...now officially one year older...must get my beauty sleep.

I am so damn tired. Its not even funny. This is the first time I've been at home for an extended period of time since friday morning. I've had about 9 hours of sleep since thursday night...I can't remember the last time I was this tired. On the way home from a club tonight, riding on the bus, I sat in the front, "reserved for old folks". I kept nodding off and having my head bang on the bus window. And of course I tried to play it off by opening my eyes, and looking at my watch. The guy sitting across from me saw right through that rouse though.
I think I'm done with clubbing for awhile. Tonight, I had a so-so time. It wasn't the best, as I was completely tired, and I went with my bro and his friend's friends. So I suppose I had that feeling of detachment. Besides, hanging out with my brother's friends is always a bit strange because, well, they're my older brothers friends. Its been that way since I was little. Anyways, live and learn.
My cousin on my dad's side came up for a visit, and its the first time my brother and I spent an extended period of time with her. I think we fullfilled the role of good cousins by taking her around, and entertaining her for the past day and a half. Thus, the lack of sleep. I can say I'm glad its over though, and I'm sitting here now, in front of the computer with my electric blanket warming up and me in my sweats and undershirt, having only to brush my teeth and slide into bed. I look forward to getting back to the regiment of lab, lab, and more lab. I've got to really nail this one down, especially because of my instructor's encouraging words last class, I think he's expecting a high level from me, and I can't dissappoint.
Its going to actually be really relaxing tomorrow at the lab, I can see it already. I'll just wear my hooded sweater, some warm, comfy pants, and veg in front of the computer, doing what I love. The weekend has been so haphazard, unplanned, and rushed that I'm so looking forward to tonight and tomorrow. I'm gonna brush the chompers and hit the hay. Lates.
