Turned Away from it all, like a Blind Man

for samantha's birthday:
2 pieces of luggage
sea monkies (from pete)
shot glasses (from pete)
a chicken dancing elmo (from jessica and sean)
a blue glitter lava lamp thing (from amanda and cindy)
a stuffed animal of indeterminate species (from amanda and cindy)
a candle snuffer (from sarah)
a black lace garter belt (from jesse)
a lunchbox with syphilis propaganda on it (from sarah and jesse)
flowers (from jon)
a purple fairy bracelet (from andrea)
in all, a fairly sucessful event, especially since i tried to hide out from it.

today was the first day of classes for me, which is a little like being in first grade because i have class with the same people all day.

paul, i demand that you be excited that you get to hang out with me. :P
