I will resume more thoughtful and reflective posts in the near future, as returning from vacation, getting back into the work schedule, and engaging in all this party business has left me with minimal mental energy. So on that note:

Yes, it is true, I am celebrating my birthday and so, mark your calenders because on Saturday September 17th at my apartment, a fabulous affair is in order.
(e:ladycroft) [inlink]ladycroft,67[/inlink] has already provided a heads up on this festivity. I believe directions have been included.

The low down:
1. Get in a car and enjoy the scenic half hour drive. (e:alison) had a brilliant idea of a bunch of you carpooking. [inlink]alison,70[/inlink] Go for it!

2. Dress in layers, as it will be a gorgeous 70 degree day, but the night will be cool, which brings us to the..

3. Bonfire! I have a yard, plenty of parking and lots of room to move. When was the last time you had an authentic over the fire S'more? yum.

4. Plenty of spots to squat.. fun for all but safety too. Bring a pillow :)

5. A luau, Tiki theme. Although planned for a mid freeze-your-ass off winter party, I bought into the idea for my Birthday instead. Think torches, semi tacky decorations, huts (tents), Hawaiin Punch ;) and ...

6. Food. All kinds and lots of it. Come hungry or come for just munchies.

7. A spot will be arranged for dancing, jumping around and howling.

8. The doors officially open at 6:00 PM, but come earlier or later.. just come! No excuses!!

It would be fabulous to chill with everyone from (e:strip) in my neck of the woods. Mix in a few more friends, classmates, coworkers and we have a very cool gathering for my 30th.


P.S. Should I have cake?

I am open to all ideas and suggestions

My first post including pictures. (e:paul), I might need your help :)

The process of the illustrious pinata bashing began with a purusal of found objects up and down elmwood. Bicycle pieces, eating utensils, random toys and other questionable material were fair game for said pinata decoration. Can't have a naked pinata, can we?




The body. Never knew how much pinatas pooped, thankfully a used shower curtain served as pinata pooping paper.




Another unknown fact not listed in the Official Guide to Caring for Your Pinata, is that they are pissy little creatures that plot nefarious schemes when neglected. This picture taken moments before the traumatizing blood bath/poop slinging began. Documentation of such events were left out of this post; the images alone would entice deep psychosis. I read somewhere about Axis 1 Pervasive Post Pinata Production Disorder. (I still wake up screaming, laughing hysterically, drooling.. whether any correlation here, well thats still being analyzed).




This Kamakazi Pinata was dressed and ready for a beating. Bets were that it would crumble with one wack, but the super poop that (e:ladycroft) used to hold this creature together proved us all wrong. More than a dozen e-peeps, at various stages of debauchery, took turns wacking at it with a stick.







(e:terry) creatively securing the rope


































Ahhh, busted at last. The inside of the stubborn pinata full of tasty delights, including the now infamous, Intense Sensation condoms. Those barely hit the ground before everyone pounced on them! Don't let them expire, kiddies. (that would be 2010 and sad),
Or something may happen much like what is depicted in the giant poster in the really cool room at (e:pmt). Such horrors should be kept in the basement that which it was found! (babies, spider monkeys and clowns scare me)




Plenty of evidence, I mean, pics depicting the adventures of (e:ladycroft), the total on (e:theecarey) camera hitting close to 150. I know (e:paul) had quite a few as well. A few more to wrap it up:




cheers! (e:ladycroft) and (e:paul)


chillin: (e:ladycroft) and (e:alison)


(e:ladycroft) with my favorite casanova (e:terry) (memories of dancing to the key of goat)


SWAK! Birthday girl and (e:drchlorine)


not in jail (yet): (e:ladycroft) and (e:theecarey)

Good times for all..Even the odd delay inwhich we, (e:ladycroft) and (e:theecarey) stationed ourselves at various points along elmwood (one of which included my doning a grass skirt in front of Kunis) and Timika down the street hanging on the street corner. The looks we suffered through.. so funny.
Eventuallywrapped it up after 6am. Hope we didn't make too much of a mess. Thanks for coming, little things mean so much, ya know :) A special shout out to (e:pmt) for making it happen!

Hope all is well!
Carey

the e-strip student loan count needs a boost.. where and how do I add mine????

Caught up on my email today. Had a gigantic inbox due to class related issues. I have the added responsibility of being the program class representative. A nice little unpaid side job. Not glamorous but I still have to fend off the paparazzi, sign autograghs.. (gag)
I absolutely must fiinsh up an assignment tonight; but right after this, as this is why my assignment is not quite complete:

Immediatelyt after work I engaged in a meeting of the minds with (e:ladycroft), in which we devilishy developed a fantastic adventure for her continued birthday celebration. Which takes place this Saturday..

I also engaged in an extensive game of bee dodging. This would be round two. Fortunately, just as the game was favoring the flying beast, an unknown bee slayer successfully decapitated the yellow and black monster. I fear round three.. I think the cantankerous creatures are calling in back up. Got the Crips and the Yellow Jackets, beeotch.

Back to the festivities; plan to disrobe, I mean, plan to bare your inquisitive, playful side. Laughter and fun is an order.

• yawn* W00! I am yawning before 2 am. Just as i get my sleep schedule back in order, it will be the weekend. Oh wonderful weekend...

take care
