The third day of Shawn’s birthday.

My goal this weekend is to make a big deal over Shawn’s birthday. I spammed it in guild raid chat on Wednesday, planned things yesterday, did things tonight and encouraged the party tomorrow. Why? Because Shawn likes to let things go by unnoticed and I thought it was important once in a while to make sure he realizes he’s important to us. Anyway, that’s my goal but I don’t know if it’s working.

At work today was a big free BBQ for all the people from both plants. Ryan came over with all the people from his plant and hung out with Laura and I. There was way more food than necessary and I did my part in eating more than I needed to: two hamburgers, some salads, two ice cream sandwiches, two cans of pop.

In chatting with Ryan, he was asked to stay late Friday and come in to work on Saturday, too. So now it’s he, Laura and I who all have to get up for work tomorrow morning after Phil’s tonight.

I had to race home to quickly shower to get there but I got my hair cut tonight. I mention it because it’s been so long and it feels so good to have short hair again. Oh, and why the hell do they style my hair like Ryan’s every time I say they can use gel?

When I got home, I watched some thing on Discovery with Ryan and Shawn and napped for a bit. It was a bit of a rush after that to get ready in time but we all were and Laura and Jonathan (whom I also invited) arrived here around the same time.

‘Fantastic 4′ was better than I expected but still nothing great. Ryan spilled his giant pop everywhere which was impressive and the theatre was full of kids who gave applause at the end (which was weird).

After the movie, Jonathan went home (he’s working tomorrow morning with Laura and I and knows better than to go out drinking) and we went out to Phil’s. We got there around ten and I spent more money than ever spent in a very little time. I was pretty drunk and even tried a Jager Bomb. It was very good (thanks Jen) but expensive compared to normal cheap drinks at Phil’s.

It was empty when we got there and we played some pool for a bit before grabbing a table. We eventually took off around eleven forty, but Laura’s bus left at 11:38 or 12:38 so Ryan went home on his own while Shawn, Laura and I went back into Phil’s. A couple drinks later, we left again and got her on the bus. Shawn and I home and I passed out for a few hours before work.
