` i'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS `
The birthday party was a MASSIVE blast! I've never thrown a house party before, and the only one I've been to previously was so awkward and boring that Rikku and I were forced to act hyper to have some kind of semblance of fun before I accidentally chipped my tooth on her tooth when we were head-banging to emo music.

I think the reason why this one went so well was because of the company. It was only my good friends who attended plus some other well known friends (a.k.a. people I've known for years!) We ordered insane amounts of Chinese food, went to the liquor store and got what we needed (which was a fair amount of rum, vodka, and some mixers), and Rikku played DJ with her electronica/techno/trance and some random R&B and rap we all know from high school, ha!

Nick showed up after work with some sake. It was pretty good except for the fact that I choked on it. D: I started to feel a bit nauseous after that and then had to explain that I had taken a kind of vow: if I ever throw up because of alcohol, then I will never drink again because I don't know my limits. It was Rikku who first took such a vow, and I agreed with it enough that I also took it. I also drink like the Chinese do: the Chinese have a belief that if the company around you isn't trustworthy or close to you, then they don't deserve to see you with your defenses down via alcohol. It's an honour instead if you do so, because that's a sign to the other people that you trust them.

Anyway, it went really well. Some people were really determined to get me drunk, but it did not work (I win?). It didn't get too crazy, but it was great. There was some great dancing, some great conversation, and finally some Resident Evil 4 on the PS2. (The GameCube version is better!)

The entire evening was amazing, but probably the funniest moment was when Shay took off his shirt and turned to me and said, "BIRTHDAY GIIIIIRRRRL" and then started jumping at me in a certain way that made innocent little me FREAK THE SNAP OUT and then I was running, looking for a place to hide while Shay shouted, "IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND I'M LOOOOONNNNGGG WAAAAAAANNNGGGGG" in reference to a certain Chinese man. I ended up opening the refrigerator and trying to crawl inside! It didn't work, and I ended up sinking to the floor, covering my ears and wailing, "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" as Shay jumped around me. His fianceé, Mel, was just dying of laughter. Everybody was!

All in all, I am very glad it went awesomely, and I want to thank everyone involved. You guys are amazing and I love you~!
