i turned 30 gracefully

i had my 30th birthday party on saturday and had a really good time. it was pretty similar to dave's birthday party 2 weeks ago, a few different people, more drinking games, and a lot less liquor and puking. this time around i managed to remember to charge my camera's battery, which led to a lot of pictures being taken, and thus leading to this post, the most photo saturated post ever on t.i.t.s.

so here is how things went down, more or less, via photo essay (click on any of these pictures for closer inspection):




people showed up earlier since i didn't want to keep my neighbor up all night and jessie got herself ready.








laura was surprised by how much alcohol we had available.







nam and jess showed up and drank water.








phil introduced us to drink ball, which was a lot of fun, until the ball got real dented. then some geniuses thought to boil the ball.







way to go einsteins








dave quite simply did not give a fu**








we did some male bonding








jessie found this offensive and decided to pee on the carpet









simon took my camera and took some "interesting" photos








louise and i take a picture and dave thinks he's invited








we had to take a few shots at least...it was my birthday...







phil took pictures too while dan sat on the couch









tamarack in the house







with the ping pong ball nonfunctional, we switched to flip cup (i think laura wants our attention)







jill, michele and louise ponder their flip cup loss








people played rockband









phil snuck his way into pictures







glenmont apartments...represent!









sean and brigitte cute it up







brody and i tell sean and brigitte to "bring it on", they aren't the only ones who can be cute







chris and i thought it would be appropriate to do some birthday snuggling







bub finds this showing of affection to be applause-worthy









michele becomes my hero by eating the scorpion







phil got a little jealous of me and chris snuggling, so we decide to hold hands







nicky (nikki?) showed up late





finally, one picture from my birthday party stood out from the rest. this image is now my desktop image and makes me laugh every time i see it. much like spaghetti cat, your life may not be the same after you see this. i present, the pic of the night:
thanks to everyone who came out. i had a great time and i hope everyone else did too.
