my roomie's 21st birthday

My friend Em's birthday is today, so when she got home from work at 3:45 am, I took a shot with her and Meg, our other roommate... What she doesn't know is that ours was water. Ha! We had to be up at 10!! Shots of Captain Morgan were just not happening. Megan could barely keep her eyes open and she looked wrecked this morning anyway, so I think our little white lie was a damn good idea. I'm glad we got to be there for her first legal shot, since we won't be with her at the bars tonight. She'd probably hurt us if she finds out, so bragging about it on the Internet is probably not wise. Note to self: don't mention this assignment...

Meg's 21st is now 20 days away and counting, and mine is a month after that. I'm more excited about my month of Saturday's without drunk people at my apartment til 4 am than I am about my own birthday...that can't be normal. At least my friends are aware that I'm a bit boring. :)

The best part of Em's birthday is conspiring against her to let her mom actually surprise her. She knows her gift is something that needs to be measured, so she's hilariously confused about anything needing to be measured that is small enough to bring to dinner with her family tonight. It's a ring. :) I'm most definitely looking forward to laughing at her tonight when she comes home and yells at me. She hates surprises - she looked though my phone last year and Googled a phone number to find out our surprise for her!! Nice to get her back, I must say. I think going out with her on my birthday would be even more hazardous to my health than it already promises to be if she felt the need to get me back about the fake shots.

My birthday starts in Kenosha with dinner on the night of May 29th, bars at Midnight, lunch with my parents on the 30th where I'll definitely be drinking, and back up to Milwaukee at night for...more bars. Perhaps this substituting water for booze wasn't a one time thing...I'd like to survive to see my 22nd!
