Speaking of Potlucks...Apparently, I have the BEST friends ever! I just received an Evite to a birthday party, for me!! Marce, Una, Dani and Corie are planning a potluck birthday dinner on the 17th to celebrate my 25th (well... Corie is sort of more planning in "spirit" since she is living in Barcelona)!
I am VERY excited. I have been beaming since last night when I found out! They told me about the party because they didn't want me to go away for the weekend and... I might also have a history of reacting badly to surprises... long story!
So now I actually have plans for my birthday! I thought I was just going to spend it writing papers... which is what I will be doing the rest of that weekend, but now I have a break to look forward to... so fun!
The best thing about the Evite though, was my friend J-Dubya's reply. I lived with J-Dubya (Justin) during my first year of law school, and let me tell ya, he is quite the character. Justin is probably one of the most academically smart people I know, but when it comes to the "everyday things" that make up life... not so good. Unlike most men, Justin is completely unable to put up a set of blinds in his bedroom, program his vcr, or work an oven. But these are the things that make him "special". When I saw Justin's reply saying that he was "maybe" going to come, I was a little upset, because Justin and I are pretty close, and I thought he would want to be at my birthday. When I read his comment, however, it all made sense. Justin wrote that his attendance was conditional on someone telling him what the heck a "potluck" is. It is reminiscent of the time when Justin was invited to a co-ed wedding shower for a friend of ours and he said that he didn't want to go to a party where there were going to be male strippers (for the record, if there had been male strippers, I wouldn't have been there either!). Oh, Justin... forget law school dude! We need to teach you more about just regular social outings!
