i am soo exhausted right now. wanna fall into bed but i want to write down things before i lose them. what a marvelous birthday i had! my weekend was so awesome eating and playing with my family and friends. i ate about 5 meals at restaurants for birthday and i got chocolate cake like at every one. horrible! grace took me to watch harry potter on sunday even though i had 2 essays due on monday! i didnt even start my french one until like 9 pm because stephen came to la and jenn dennis and christina was taking him places. i got such delicious gifts this year! practically everyting i asked for and more. thank you to everyone!!! my mom got me a really cute and small video camera! but i think its really a present to our family too. and marian and jamie surprised me today!!! they came into my room at like 7 with balloons and a bag of goodies. wowie i was gigantuously shocked. except the only thing that was weird was that stephen said something about jamie taking him back to sd and i was like oh jamies back home? of course he denied it so i didnt think anything more of it. we went to go smoke hookas! i am so freakin legal now! and we shared some mucho quality time together talking. dude marian is one crazy girl! we were walking down to de neve and all of a sudden she snaps around and says GARY?? to some guy who looks at her like shes the biggest weirdo. and then she goes on to explain that shes seen his pictures from his friend who goes to ucsd and then they start talking. what a moment. jamie parked her car at ucla and put in 2 quarters which is like 16 minutes because she thought that we were gonna leave like right away but then we ended up staying at ucla for like 2 hours and so we were all worried that she got a parking ticket but miraculously she didnt! soo lucky! we stole like 84,000 postcards from the cafe habibi. actually they were free. i just gave dennis his present. i just know that he adores them. and the cake i made was yum too. ahh chris made me the cutest card! honestly it was so adorable with our ballroom dance inside jokes. anyways i just came back from the meteor shower and maybe im really blind with my glasses or maybe theres just too much fog in la but i couldnt see crap. mucho disappointed. anyways need sleep. almost 3. goodnight.
