BEST PROM EVER!!

So i have now been 26 for about a week and i'll have to say it's kind of strange feeling in that it's not all that strange. I feel that in a lot of ways over the past year i have come to terms with lots of things. i'm old...but you know what, i'm ok with that. I've started to realize that my education has afforded me friends all over the country and the world even. More importantly these are friends that i can crash with on my many travels. And so what is my goal for this next year? I just kind of plan on really embracing all of the ideas behind "just blazing." I mean really i just want to like kick ass in my programs, get some shit published, write a bunch of grants, learn to play guitar (i know random, but i figure i can't keep waiting around for some poet/liar to sing me songs. i can sing my own damn songs!), travel the world etc etc. I just want to blaze with my life!! and if i meet my soulmate along the way that's cool too but if i don't then that's fine also. Because sometimes i have to remind myself that i have a lot of shit going for me, even if it seems bleak sometimes.

so yes JUST BLAZE, PEOPLE!

So i had my birthday party last week truly was the most ridiculous party i have ever thrown myself. No serioulsy, it was the most fun i have had since New Years Eve 2007, "don't play this song if you don't want me to dance!"

photo documentation is necessary. Basically if this really were high school prom i would be for reals prom queen because as you can see from the the party i am super popular.

as i said, i'm super popular, guys
homossssexuals always 100% commit to the situation, no matter what
us trying to get the party started by doing the african ant eater ritual from "can't buy me love." look it up, bitchesprom court bitches!! I especially love the french's expression and hand holding skillsclearly drunk at this point. i could easily leave out the pictures where i look ridiculous but really that is teh whole point. we were all crazy drunk and having a blast and the pictures reflect this so here it all is.
miami vice! most of the men went with this option of men's casual wear.
foreign exchange students!! a french and a belgian. sure they didn't dress up but eurotrash is basically 80's so i will allow it to slide
adriana, what a hot hot mess. homegirl committed
Cat, my filipina goddess. Note the glittered woman on the dress
me and run dmc...PS how hot do i look!! either hot or constapated...uncertain
jen/ren

it is essential that i do this pose at every party
the only filipinos in all of grad school. true story. note the wine coolers, a prop but also had utility
Big O/roomie sangwhich
and the end of the night. note the net in teh background. that was where i rigged teh balloon drop. can you believe we didnt' have pics of teh big drop!! so sad
all in all it was an excellent birthday and a great party. the next morning everyone woke up at 2pm in other people's beds wondering "whaaa happeeeen." doesn't this make you wish you were in grad school just a little bit!
