#26 in the books and still going...

Starting off on a good note. Didn't get to see fireworks, in actuality, but it's better than last year, seeing it all on television. As for the fourth, Ulo hosted another one of his zany barbeque's at his house. There was either sitting outside around the grill or inside watching movies. I never thought movies could pass the day by so fast.

9am to 11am The Last Castle
1115am to 1pm Not Another Teen Movie
2pm to 4pm Star Wars IV: A New Hope
4pm to 6pm Star Wars V: Empire Strikes Back
6pm to 8pm Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi

Quick note: Kareoke Revolution is crazy mad fun. Sang The Reason, by Hoobastank, and got 86%. We're still singing. I'll edit this later.

Let's look back:
20 yrs. old
I was in a relationship with Lil at the time. On my birthday, we just stayed at my house in SF. It happened to be my first birthday with someone by my side.

21 yrs. old
I actually went to my Math 161a summer class, which I got a B+ in. After that, I waited for the evening to slowly come. A handful of us went on over to TGIF's, where I took my very first alcoholic beverage. Yes!? I waited until I was legal to drink. After, my e.W.o buddies gave me even more drinks. There's a video, but it will never see another pair of eyes besides mine.

22 yrs. old
Invited friends over to e-dub. We watched the Giants game out on the lawn. By midnight, I had taken 10 shots of yucky stuff. A lot of guests came along to spend a great night with me.

23 yrs. old
Another birthday at the House of Corinth, aka e-dub. This was the ultimate test for me in the alcohol realm. Little did I know that four of my early shots were triples. I nearly matched my age with shots. 22!!! I was completely out. I do remember Ted walking and running around the block with me. Sorry for running Ted. I remember being passed out in the 502 garage and Jerry kneeing me. Bleh.

24 yrs. old
My last recorded birthday at the Akbayan House, aka House of Corinth, aka e-dub. After years of birthdays, this set of guests would be the one's that I would see at the rest of my birthdays until I die. Righteous to the max!

25 yrs. old
Hooter's with a handful of good/great friends, and one bad seed. After the San Jose people left, Edison, Aivy, and I went to the Children's Playground. We went on the sings and went down the cement slide. The night was a bit foggy, reminding me of particular scenes from Fatal Frame 2.

At the moment: Woke up with a minor headache.

24 hours
I had my first Corona(Light) last night.
I sang a duet with a friend that seemed more like a frickin' solo.
I was punched twice by a good friend.
I was punched 50+ times by a female great friend.
I was pressing the snooze bar this morning, but she kept barking at me.
I succeeded in making my bestfriend feel guilt; without even trying.
I made excellent, girthy hamburger patties better than the other chef's little one's.
