Birthday :) bestest!

So I'm officially not a teenager anymore! :)) Actually, doesn't feel any different. Lol.
I was woken up this morning by my roommates (Sara and Mike at least, Meg was still sleeping I think) coming in and singing "Happy Birthday," with synimon rolls and a candle in one of them. Yum Yum! That was goood breakfast!
I just hung out and looked on FB for awhile and read all the comments on my wall (I think like 115 as of a few minutes ago! Wow!) Then my parents came around 1, and we went out to this Mexican restaurant called "Don Pablos" and I was adventuress and tried fish tacos. Weird! My brother said I should try them, and I didn't know what to get, so I did and didn't like them. The rice and beans were good, but I really didn't care for the tacos and the enchilada I tried from my grandma. My mom made this giant cookie, and they sang happy birthday to me and we ate the cookie in the restaurant. Then they gave me gifts. I got a new pair of earrings from mom and da. Diamonds that I can wear all the time. I got this keychain beed thing from my grandma (mom's mom) and she picked beeds like hearts and a lock and key thing. I think they are like pandora, but not, maybe they are, I don't know. I got movies from mom and dad, and an ITunes gift card from the boys, Walker and Brennan, and a starbucks gift card! :D :D
and Money and singing cards (one from grandma and grandpa, and one from mom and dad),
When we got home, Walker wanted to say hi to Billy, (who kept licking the floor every now and again in the restaurant, but he was probably getting reeeally bored), so he took him to the bathroom for me, and I went inside. I smelled cake when I walked in to the hallway of our building, and when I opened the door... "Surprise!" There were tons of my friends! I totally wasn't expecting it! well, I was kinda suspicious, because Mike mentioned Lasagna by accident earlier, and the cake smell... It was awesome! :)
We had fun hanging out and playing scrabble, (me Brook, Kaitie, Jennie), maybe someone else but I can't think of who it was for the life of me! and it was sweet because Jenifer gave me Chocolate truffels and Trisha a stargbucks giftcard! Number two! :D Can you tell I like starbucks? lol

I did hear from Nick. Yesterday he told me his great grandpa died yesterday, and so I called and talked to him for awhile. It was kinda awkward since we hadn't talked in over a week, and I think it was weighing on us both that we wern't dating anymore but it was nice to talk to him again. He then texted me happy birthday and I texted thanks and we texted for a few minutes. It was good to hear from him. I did wish he was hear for the party, but I mannaged not to dwell on it, and overall it was an amazing birthday! :D Much more good than sad :D.
I love my friends!

party and drama :)

Ok, so I'm tired, and really need to finish my english paper, but I thought I'd write this first.
Mikes party was a success :)
We were unsure if we could pull it off, because Sara's been sick all week, and her phone broke the other day, so we had to text or call on Mike's phone when he wasn't around to make sure we knew what was going on. Today I thought she was coming around 11 to my dorm to start cooking since it was lasagna and neither of us had made it before. 11 came and went and she wasn't here. I tried texting Mike's phone "Happy birthday Mike! :)... and if sara still has the phone, tell him for me." Mike had the phone. Crap!
I decided to do laundry while I waited (still need to put that away lol), and she finally knocked on my door around 12:30. We had to run to the little grocery store right next door to my dorm on campus to get last minute supplies, and grab ourselves something to eat since neither of us had eaten yet. We checked out the kitchen key and started cooking.
We made "dill dip" Yum veggie dip! When we tried it though it tasted more like cream cheese and mayonase (yes I know I spelled that way wrong... hush! :)
We decided to add more Dill Weed, and vwahla! It tasted nearly perfect! Note to self... when making dill dip, add extra dill.
We then started the Lasagna, but half way through browning the meat Sara realized we didn't have shredded matzarella or parmasan cheese. (seriously! How do you spell these things? lol)
So Sara took over the browning from me, and I ran to commons (the grocery store) and got the cheeses plus plates and cups. On my way back, since I'd ran in to Mike on the first floor earlier when taking Bilko out, I was listening for his voice and ready to hide the food (don't ask how) if he came buy. Walking down the hall-- almost to the kitchen...

"Hi Jenna!"
Crap!
"Hi Mike."
"Is Sara still with you?"
"huh?"
"wasn't Sara gonna hang out with you?"
"O yeah, I think she went back to Harshman."
"aww! Seriously?"
"I think so."

I couldn't hide the bag at this point, so I decided to pretend I'd missed the stairs I needed to go up to my room and go back until he was gone so I could sneak to the kitchen. Then his parents said something about how nice our apartment was going to be next year while I was trying to walk away. Arg! So I stood there and talked to them until a couple girls came up and started talking to me. I didn't know it at first, but they were friends of Sara and Mike. I'd met them before, but didn't recognize them. Then one of them asked if she could take the bag to the kitchen and Mike and his parents had walked away, so we finally got to the kitchen.
I'd just sent Mike all the way across campus looking for Sara, hoping this would give us time to finish cooking. He got to Harshmen like 15 minutes later and texted me (Sara's phone is still broke remember)
"Hey I thought you said Sara was going to Harshman?"
"I thought she did, but she might have went back to work... I think she left something there."
A few minutes later Sara told me to text him that she was back at Kohl (my dorm) and to meet us there. He called and told Sara he was at Harshman but would come to Kohl.
By the time he got back the Lasagna was almost done and Sara was working on the cake. She was using Mike's family's secret recipe for caromel icing that he'd made so much around her she memorized it... and hacked his facebook (his password is stored on his computer.)
It all turned out wonderful!
They have a lot of veggies and cheese left over though. The veggie tray was weird! It was carots, cucumbers, celery, and green peppers. Where was the Coliflower and broccoli? O and it was thanks to Meagan the lasagna got done because she brought the Tomato paste! lol
Over all it was great and we all had fun hanging with friends and for meagan and I making new ones. :)

Now english paper time. :( Bleh!

Bilko and surprise party :)

So, I have no idea what... nevermind... I was gonna say I don't really know what to write about, but right as I was starting the sentence, Bilko came up and started pawing me and nudging me with his head. I thought he just wanted attention, because he does that, so I got on the floor and petted him and talked to him. He just sat there. So I started trying to find a toy to play with him. I found his bone (he just came back over and nudged me again as I'm writing this), he didn't want the bone. He went over and stood by his food and water dishes. 'O! Duh! He wants water!' I was out of water in the jug with the little spicket I use for him here in the dorms. I got the jug and went to the laundry room down the hall to refill it. As soon as I walked in the door he was looking at the jug like "mom! Water? Please! I'm thirsty!" You'd think he never got water! I told him to wait and filled his bowl. He was happy after he got his water lol... O wow I just realized how dumb this post is lol!

Anyways...
I don't have classes on fridays, so I did lots of laundry and cleaning my room today, which meant Billy didn't get to do much haha. He was getting bored, so I was glad when my friend Sara called and said to meet her at the "Union" and we'd go shopping. We're putting on a surprise birthday party for her boyfriend next Friday, and she wanted to get stuff to make lasagna. We picked up our other friend, Meagan, who is also rooming with us and Mike (the guy we're throwing the party for), next fall. We went to Croger. Sara had told Mike we were going to Walmart to get his present. We had fun trying to find everything we needed (especially since I'm blind and Meagan's visually impaired so it mostly was Sara who had to find things unless Meagan stuck them right up to her face lol) We eventually found everything we needed, and headed back to campus.
Bilko was doing really good except he kept sniffing everybody that walked past. (darn social dog!)
While we were in the store Mike texted Sara to ask where she was (he'd let us use his car) and she forgot she was supposed to be at walmart and said "Croger." We made up this lame excuse that Meagan had to get fruit and walmart's fruits suck so we went to Croger. I think he baught it... hopefully.

We used Meagan's food stamps since Mike said Sara couldn't spend more than $40 from cash or meal plan... he didn't mention foodstamps! :D He said that I could spend like $5 lol... gonna spend more than that on meal plan but shhh! He's gonna kill us when he finds out that we're making Lasagna, ordering a fruit tray, cheese tray, and veggie tray, and making his families secret recipe for cake. He taught Sara how to make it. We're also inviting around 10 to 15 people to the party. This is gonna be awesome! :)
Well that's all I got for now.
