a good night

this was the second year in a row i've attended davina's bday bash.  i had a great time this year, just as i did last year.

last year we went to thuy thien for vietnamese and then went glow bowling.  D had only 5 of us last year and it was a blast.  she is an uber organizer so she had arranged bowling bingo and competitions for us, as well as a candy buffet.  let me tell you, the candy buffet was the highlight of the night.  the whole night itself was a blast, but the candy??  well, that just iced it.

tonight we met at the garage.  there were about 20 of us this time around.  some of them i knew, but most i didnt.  it was all good.  we ate our food and then went bowling again.  this time D brought out the candy again and arranged more bowling games.  she even had prizes.  and the whole time, we all sat there wondering why she is organzing everything when it's her bday bash.

next year we have all vowed to throw her a surprise bday party and she isnt to do any work.  i think we need to plan it a couple weeks before her actual birthday so that she wont expect it.

regardless, i had a good time.  it's funny, i was explaining to ch the whole thing and how last year worked.  at this time last year, i knew d but not really.  knew her through mutual friends and we were taking a fitness class together, but i really didnt "know" her the way i do now.  i have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her.  anyway, i was explaining to ch that she had all this candy last year and it was amazing and said that i was really hoping for candy again this year and she pulled it off.  d says that it's her way of giving out candy bags, but it's a buffet instead.

i even won silly putty.  kickass!  i remember getting silly putty for one of my bdays.  elissa, i think you gave it to me.  i think you guys came to herronton and you showed me how to imprint a comic onto it and showed me that it bounced AND glowed in the dark.  i'm shamed to admit that after you left, my dad rolled it up into a ball, took it into the yard and tried to experiment with its bouncing capeabilities.  cousiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin, he took the baseball bat to it and it went clear across the yard and street and into the field at the elevator.  i was devastated.  all my dad did was laugh and say "whoops" or some variation of the word, but mostly i remember the laughing.  i didnt share his humor.

so tonight i have my own silly putty after all these years.  there's no way anyone's taking a bat to it.
