ceebeegeeHoly crap. I am really sick today. I've been wracked with coughing ever since I got up this morning--it feels like there's a live animal in my lungs trying to escape.
That said,
(Today is my actual birthday--the 12th day of the 12th month. And I was born in the 12th hour as well (PST).)
Had a GREAT time last night. Seth, Rachel, Duncan, Tesse, Paula, Jason, Chris and my friend Michelle met at my place--I served Clara-made eggnog and had Christmas music playing and Holiday Inn on the TV (muted, and we fast-forwarded past the "Abraham" number). It was all very Christmassy. I love that my birthday cames close to Christmas--it just makes the day seem that much more special. After nog we went out to Mercury's and took over a long table in the back. My voice gave out about halfway through the meal and I just started signing (thanks to Tesse, who taught me some common signs), gesturing and writing things down. At one point the discussion was about the colorizaion of black-and-white movies and I indignantly wrote down "IAWL [It's a Wonderful Life] doesn't NEED color!" It was so nice having everyone around--Alex joined us later and brought back my camera which I'd left at Kelly's on Friday.
After Mercury's, Jason, Paula, Duncan, Alex and I went on to Vintage where I ordered my new favorite drink, this caramel-drizzled, apple-sliced, Apple Pucker, vodka, Butterscotch schnappes martini. It is sooooo good. Ryan joined us later and it was just all very nice, very relaxing. Good people, good times.
ETA: Thank you everyone for your birthday wishes!! I have the nicest friends!
