The Rest Of My Birthday

"Tonight we going hard, hard, h-h-h-hard! Just like the world is ours, ours, uh-uh-uh-ours!"
- Ke$ha, We R Who We R

On Saturday I worked at the job I enjoy and then saw the musical I dropped out of with Trinity and Sister Light. Then we went to a pub where we met Sister Lioness and a friend of hers, and we were joined by Wrecking Ball, Jewel and Synth, and Cat and her boyfriend. Then Cat and I went out dancing. I was very tired all night just as I predicted, but I still had a lot of fun.

I got a little drunker than I intended to. My drinking started late so it wasn't as spaced out as it should have been, and I mixed too many different kinds of alcohol (I had some kind of liqueur in a hot chocolate, two shots with fireball and something else in them, and wine). I was just generally unintelligent with my drinking, especially since I've only recently started the antidepressants and I have already figured out they have lowered my tolerance. I got what I deserved, then, with an awful sleep (I remember waking up at least five times) and a very sour stomach the next morning. I think it is safe to say I will never intentionally get drunk again, so long as I am taking my happy pills (which are working wonderfully and so I will probably be taking them for a while).

When I woke up for good on Sunday, Wrecking Ball gave me a gorgeous necklace and earring set. The earrings are silver, long, and made of a lot of tiny spirals. The necklace is a eudialyte stone hung in a silver bracket with spiral details that match those of the earrings. He said he picked it out because he was struck very suddenly by how beautiful the eudialyte was. I looked up the meaning of the stone and decided he couldn't have picked out a better one for me if he had tried: eudialyte is "a stone of the heart" and it functions to balance out one's emotions and channel one's creativity to aid in selecting a life path. Sounds like a good stone for me to be wearing right now!

I haven't had boyfriend jewellry since I was with Acadia so I was very excited to get these. The earrings catch in my hair quite a bit so I will probably not wear them every day, but the necklace is very comfortable and I like wearing it very much.

That night, Wrecking Ball and Love came over for dinner (soup that I made myself, and it tasted just like it was supposed to!) and cake. They watched as my little sister and I decorated the Christmas tree. It's tradition in my house to decorate the tree on my birthday, the 18th. I like it because decorating the tree is a fun thing to do on my birthday, and it feels like just the right time to put it up: neither too early nor too late.
