2wenty 7even

So I just turned 27. Wow. 27 is a large number. It's a large number for me. Everyone who's older than me says "Omg ur still so young still." Blah blah blah. But I'm not young anymore for me. When I was 21, 22, 23...it was perfect. I felt young. That was a perfect age. But I'm already over that peak. I may be young to some, but I'm old to me. I feel young at heart. I don't feel like I'm 27. I don't feel like I've lived 27 years of life. Maybe half that. I'm old and I feel behind. All my friends are all around the same age. I see things they have and things that they've accomplished and I'm no where near that. Kinda makes me sad. And a lil' envious. ::sigh:: BUT! I can't complain tho. I had a great birthday weekend.

Started Thursday October 1st. A very special wonderful terrific fabulous spectacular (wink wink shoutout lol) great friend took me to my first musical. Usually not a typical birthday present one asks for. But I mentioned I had been wanting to see one and I finally got the opportunity. And for my first, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! We went to go see the the musical Wicked up in San Francisco.

Outside the Orpheum Theater

So fun! I loved the theater! (Which I was very sad to it because no photos were allowed! ::sad face::) I loved the stage. I loved the costumes. I loved the story. I loved the humor. I loved the singers. And I loved the music!! Favorite song from the night, "Popular". Kendra Kassebaum was one of the leading roles. She played Glinda, the good witch, was not only a good actress, she was a great singer. She was able to deliver those funny lines like a ditsy blonde and carry those notes like u wouldn't believe.

This is kind of a long scene, but the song is in there. Starts about 3 minutes in. But she's just goofy and silly and I love it! Not how you pictured Glinda, from the Wizard of Oz, how she started huh? lol




The Friday, my cousin told me he started this new DJ gig and he wanted me to go check him out. So me and a friend went to this wee lil' bar, in this wee' lil town, where wee live (hehe)by and we went to go check him out. Definitely not a packed house, but it was still something to do and he played some good music. At midnight he announced over the mic it was my bday (along with the bar tender. How rude! I had to share my night. haha jk) and dedicated the next song to me. So that was kinda special. =) I got my dance on. I got my drink on. What more could I ask for right? ;)

So on Saturday, my actual birthday, I had numerous text messages and calls (at different times. even the early birds like at 745am! omgoodness! lol) from friends and family. My birthday is never proper without familia and food so they wanted to take me and my cousin out for lunch for our bdays. We're only 2 days apart and we grew up celebrating our bdays together. We all stuffed our faces at Chilis. Delicious! Cute presents. =) Then Saturday evening I spent the night in Monterey. Sunday spent the day with my dad watching FOOTBALL! WOOT WOOT GO NINERS! Shut the Rams out. Niiiiiiice.

All You Can Say Is 'WOW'

Good weekend. Good times. Good birthday.
Thanks to all who helped me share it and made it special.

Still wish u were here mom. I miss u. I love you.
