The General Specific














I can't really pinpoint one specific thing that made my 27th birthday, the BEST birthday I've EVER had... So how about 27 things?

For starters, due to the major time difference between my two "homes" I got to be 26 for an extra day, and in turn, got to celebrate for 2 days in a row. Which somehow turned into 3 days...

Waking up to 99 new Facebook notifications made me feel very special!

Peter Alexander goodness sent all the way from OZ, thanks MUMMA!

Casa Bonita. Cartman was right. "Casa Bonita is my favorite place in the whole world..."

Alice In Wonderland in Imax 3D. Tim Burton. I adore you.

Good morning Starbucks, hello dark cherry mocha, where have you been the past 27 years?

Um. Hello. Best concert tickets ever. Guess who gets to go to Red Rocks to see STING and FOREIGNER? Uh. That would be me. Eeeeek. Thanks guys!!!

Janelephant celebrating in my honour. She totally made the coolest cake I've ever seen! Just wish I was close enough to bite it...

Summer Heights High: The Board Game. Ahhh. Danners. You may just be the greatest person alive.

Carls Jr. Really. The best $1.75 you could ever spend. Ever.

Sangria Swirl. Enough said.

Two of the best birthday cards ever. Nice work Elisha. So many pretty boys, so little time.

Deluxe Mani Pedi. Yes. I almost fell asleep, it was just that good.

Arriving home from said Mani Pedi, to discover two giant boxes at my door. The most amazing Sixteen Candles Party Kit you could possibly imagine. All from my future traveling buddy David... Paris planning is underway. Thanks for letting me eat Tootsie Rolls for breakfast.

Did I mention the Casa Bonita Cliff diver?? What a fitty.

Sun! No snow! Just the most amazingly wonderful day filled with sunshine and smiles!

My green shamrock hat. Sure. I may have broke it before managing to figure out how to turn the flashing lights on, but it was still the life of the party.

Dancing to Billy Jean, if only for a split second. It was a good split second.

Finding a pub in this fair city that actually sells cider. FINALLY.

Denver Diner. You are pretty great.

Hersheys. I don't know why you cover pretzels in chocolate. But I like it. 10 points.

Attempting to Riverdance to an Irish cover band singing The Proclaimers. Gold.

Skyping with Janelephant... til her stupid computer cut out. It was a nice 3 minutes and 27 seconds.

Andy Candy pulling out the South Park moves on the dance floor... fagggggggggggggggggggggggggggs!

Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough... Good.

All the Pings, Texts, Tweets, Emails etc etc etc... Thanks team, you made it impossible for me to forget how OLD I am...

And of course, Band of Horses. Sold out show. No tickets. Just a "can do' attitude. Needles to say. We got in. And it was insane.


All in all, yes, I wish I was still 16. But. If you HAVE to get older, this certainly was the way to do it.

"I hardly believed it at all..." BAND OF HORSES
