My Fabulous BIrthday Weekend

FRIDAY:
I didn't make any plans actually... which was weird because it was my birthday... but Kelvin, my buddy who always has my back, came through. I went to MJQ with him and los chicos. I had soooooo much fun. Part of that could have been that I would just be dancing and I kept getting handed drinks... naw I didn't drink that much, I just freaking love MJQ on Fridays. I had my vans on but they looked like sneakers.

SATURDAY:
This was the official birthday event... a ladies dinner, southern-style seafood buffet at the marvelous Blue Willow Inn in Social Circle Georgia. Almost all of my good friends were there. Hui gave me this experiential birthday card that I had to sign and agree (basically) to make a fool out of myself and do what it told me to do, including standing up in the resturant and flapping my arms and squawking like a chicken and singing them one of my favorite songs "Appletree" by E.Badu... like I can carry a tune. I probably ate half of my weight in seafood and I bought a shot glass to commemorate the celebration. I really appreciate all of my friends who thought enough of me to come allllll the way out to Social Circle and have an expensive dinner with me. It really meant a lot that you guys would make it a priority. That's not to take anything away from those who weren't there though.

SUNDAY:
I went on a date. We went to Studio Grille, which was cool. Conversation was pretty good too until homie told me that he smoked weed all nonchalantly... kind of in the same way that someone would tell you they're a dog lover. It's not that I think he's a bad person, it's just that I have to have some standards and the use of illegal substances is like 2 and a half strikes in and of itself. I mean for him to bust out with that on the first date he was either tryng to 'weed' me out, it was of high importance to him, or he thought he could tell me just about anything and I'd be chill. When he said this I tried to keep my face together, but all I could manage to say was that I didn't smoke weed and that I don't smoke at all. I tried to bounce back and be cool, but I was quite shocked and blindsided by the situation at that point. I'm done. I give up, lol. This dating thing is too much.
