Well, my birthday went swimmingly. :) I had a great time.
We played Mario Kart while we waited. Then we went to Portofino's for pizza. Brandon's car tried to kill me when we arrived at Portofino's, but I survived (my heel got caught on the seatbelt as I was getting out of the back seat and I fell out of the car in the least graceful manner possible... I halfway caught myself, but that just left my arms sore. I scraped up my elbow and banged up my knees pretty bad, but I'm okay). The pizza was good. Artichokes for me, of course. The company was great. Joe, Brandon, Walt, Nate, and Kelli went with me and then Philip and Richard arrived later. Then we wandered around Books A Million for a while, and then went bowling. I had mediocre scores, but I was pleased. We had a great time despite problems with our lanes and awful (NOT BOWLING) music. We went back to my house and played Mario Kart for a while. Then ppl left or went to bed and I played around with my new toy: a Kindle (see the link!). It's pretty cool. I really like having the actual book to put on my shelf when I finish reading it, but this is so easy and the books are cheaper and they're more earth friendly, I assume, since there is no need for paper. :) Anyway, I went to bed sometime after 4 AM when Joe finally made me. ;)
Yesterday I slept until 10:30 when the boys woke me up. I was not ready to be awake. I took a nap a little later. Then we went to Concord Mills to see The Dark Knight for the second time with Brandon, Walt, and Richard. It was even better the second time. I actually had tears running down my face at the end. Since I had already seen it once, I knew what was going on and I got to pay more attention to what was being said. It was beautiful.
Afterwards, we went to Steak and Shake and had shakes while we had nerdy conversation. :) I love my nerdy friends. Life would be so less entertaining without them.
We got home after midnight and then my neighbor insisted on talking to me for over half an hour. Then I couldn't fall asleep. Again. Needless to say, 6:15 came really quickly. At least my birthday weekend was wonderful. Thanks to everyone who was a part of it. :)
