AWWW BIRTHDAYS... you laugh, you cry, sometimes you throw up fist fulls of blood. Yes, thats right. Blood. (For those of you who are not aware, I pass out at the mere SIGHT of blood.((this has happened in a few episodes of ER... pathetic)). My birthday was friday, keeping with tradition, my dear friend Emily was planning on bringing me out to dinner. Only one problem. She had her wisdom teeth pulled a week prior, and had the wound ripped open to drain her poor dry sockets... JUST the day before. What a trouper, yes? Or mabe an idiot? Just kidding. So Anyway. Me, Charity, Sharon, and Em went to a little place called Garrisons... (Nadine wasn't there mind you, because she was a punk and hanging with her boyfriend... not bitter). Enjoying and appetizer... well not emily because she was still swollen and hadn't eaten in a week. Suddenly, I saw Emily's face snap into alarm. Her face was as white as Nadine's belly in the dead of winter (yes, now i will pick on her), in complete matrix style slow motion she reaches her fingers into her mouth pulling them back out with a fist full of bright red blood. Our eyes meet exchanging two totally different types of terror. Her; my mouth is bleeding... my gaping wound has freshly ripped open... oh the pain! Me; my face is about to plummet into the center of my ghouda cheese and hummus like a fallen pita chip... I do NOT do blood. I stagger a bit ( barely missing my mediterranean platter) sharon and charity quickly escorted emily to the bathroom, where she remained for nearly an hour spitting up blood. I stood outside the bathroom... love and support from afar. What cracked me up was this lady came up to the bathroom, her tone was nearly as sharp as her obnoxious pointy hair... "Umm is this gonna take awhile?" I replied as calmly as possible, "My friend just had her teeth pulled last week, she having problems... mouth ful of blood etc."... Pointy hair; "Well if she just had her teeth pulled she should be at home in bed, why did you take her out?"..... WOW. I wanted to yank out wanna those points with a dull pair of tweezers... hahaha. just kidding. ANyway, we took em home. She is fine! What an adventure yeah? Everyone went home, and nobody showed up to my sisters for cake... so i called it a night. Happy Birthday?

Geez, Bek! Sounds traumatic. Sorry I missed it :) Hah!
We should try dinner again soon - without fists of blood and pointy-haired ladies...
I'm so sorry EMILY ruined your birthday! I'll share my birthday with you!
ooo. uh. sorry i missed the fun! hehe. i'm up for a re-do if ya want.
ok, first of all, I wasn't even invited. Can we say offended? Second, I'm not on your "fave people" list. I'm beginning to think that coaches mean nothing to you.
poor poor emily!
Dang...well lets just say this will be a birthday you will never forget! And poor Em! That stinks.
emily!? emily!? what about ME!? haha totally kidding. I think she staged the whole thing.
That was a night I will definetely not forget! I was even starting to get a little queasy and I deal with blood all the time. I got home and realized I still had your bday card in my purse - sorry! I had fun with you girls while it lasted. We'll have to try again sometime. :-)

Emily ruins everything. I was sad and cried all day and wished that i could hang out with you guys, but now, maybee not so much. maybe im glad i couldn't. I would have for sure lost it. glad it was memorable though.
Bloody Birthday... how exciting. Who could ask for anything more? Hope you were able to recover... and um, I hope Em did as well.
