so the birthday didn't end up being too bad. justin called. that was a nice surprise. last year he sent me roses for my birthday along with a really cute poem. tonight claudia and everett took me out to this asian stir fry place for dinner, then we drove around for awhile listening to a tape with all the theme songs from 70's and 80's cartoons and sitcoms. it was great. if you would have stopped next to us at the light at touhy and elmhurst you would have seen the three of us rocking out to "do do do do do inspector gadget." we picked up one of claudia's friends after she got off work and we went to another restaurant for dessert. good times. it's now almost 3 am and it's time for bed. thanks guys for making it special, you're great.
