gizaAs promised, I figured I would make an entry about what I did on my Birthday weekend, seeing that I turned 28 on Halloween.
First, maybe I should talk about Birthday parties and presents and stuff... I was never really into the whole presents thing associated with birthdays and Christmas. To me, buying presents was always a little stressful, because I'd have to keep track of peoples' upcoming birthdays, and then when I knew that one was coming up I'd have to figure out what to get them, and even IF I should get them a present. Same thing for Christmas, I'd be buying presents for the relatives and not be sure what to get people or even if I should buy a particular person a present ("Am I close enough to them? Did they get me one last year? Argh, I don't remember!")
So, anyway... I went over to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
firedhusky's place on the night before Halloween for a little gathering. There were about 7 or 8 furs who stopped by. I inflicted Meet The Feebles on folks, and then Dawn of The Dead was inflicted on me.
Then, on Sunday, I drove into the city to go to the Art Muesum.jbadger drove down and joined me and we explored most of the museum. They were pretty cool about about photography, so long as it was non-flash. I'm not much of an aritst, but I enjoyed the more contemporary pieces that were done in the later half of the 20th century. Sometime later in the afternoon, Fire D and a couple of his guests stopped by and we walked around the rest of the exhibits together for a bit. Then they had to leave and Jbadger and myself got some dinner, after which I saw him off.
I came into work on Monday morning to find a card waiting on my desk from the other co-workers. The card was titled Top Ten Things You Shouldn't Do at a Birthday Party. Here's the list:

- 10. See how long you can keep your head submerged in the punch bowl.
- 9. Play "Pin the tail on the hostess."
- 8. Three words: Clog the toilet.
- 7. Shout "surprise" five seconds before or after everyone else does.
- 6. Violently shake each present.
- 5. Violently shake each person.
- 4. Violently shake.
- 3. Break wind during the birthday song.
- 2. Get confused by the invitation and show up in your birthday suit.
- And 1... Look at the Guest of Honor, then the cake, and yell, "Shouldn't there be a lot more candles?!"
