I hated it too.

Meanwhile, Leigh took it upon herself to make me a "designer shirt" of my own.

After cake, Vinay said goodbye and left me with the three loveliest ladies I know! Thanks again for coming out last minute, you guys!

At some point during our meal, one of my weaselly friends managed to sneak away from the table and tip our waitress off to the fact that it was my birthday. She brought me a piece of cake, (complete with candle!) and my friends got to loudly sing "Happy Birthday" and embarrass me! Yay!

...and Leigh (seen here examining my 30-year old birthday hair).

Ten envelopes and ten more rhyming couplets later...I was led to my scavenger-hunt birthday surprise!

Awake! Your time of death draws near!
I think I'll store your skeleton here...

After I got home from work the next night, Meredith handed me an envelope. I opened it and it contained a piece of paper with a clue on it! A scavenger hunt!

There's not much of a story to tell with rest of the photos. It's pretty much just me getting drunk with my friends. And I ended up getting pretty, pretty drunk - as evidenced by this photo I stole from Dens' Flickr that shows me triple-fisting three different types of drinks, each in a different type of container! (A cup of Scotch, a can of PBR and a bottle of Heineken. Oooof!)

Then, after we'd finished eating, they surprised me with a homemade (thanks, Leigh!) belated birthday cake!

Old man = tons of candle smoke! Thanks for surprising me so nice, everyone!

Later that night I went to Misshapes to wish little Miss Leigh Lezark a very happy 21st birthday!

Friday was Philips birthday! Here's me sneaking up on him with a lit cake while he was on the phone with a client.

Ummm, thanks Meredith.

Licking the birthday candle never looked so wrong.

When I was younger, I thought that by the time I reached 28 I'd be grown-up enough to not think that taking Tic-tacs and using them to pretend you have buck teeth is something that's still funny. Go figure.

Mint chocolate chip tofu ice cream with a candle. (Later on in the night, I went out to for a birthday dinner at a fancy steakhouse, but somehow I fucked up and lost those pictures. Argh!)

Later that afternoon the ladies took me to Red Bamboo for some vegetarian soul food. (Most likely, because unbeknownst to me, I was being taken to a steakhouse for my birthday dinner and this gave the two vegetarians a chance to fill up!).

Me and Geordon.

The very surprised birthday girl.

From L to R: Fatty, me, Colin, Frank and Grant.

Who's my little birthday boy? Grant is! Yes he is! Yes he is!

For Grant's actual birthday, we met Arianna and Sarah at Max Fish's and then headed over to Lit.
