So my man got me an awesome bday gift -- Dr. Dre 2001 Instrumentals on vinyl. Woo-hoo! And due to a "mixup" with amazon.com (the fckers), I'm actually getting 2 copies! So I'll have some fun at my gig next saturday night with that. I keep telling Damon that I'll get him drunk and then he can freestyle for me. Ha. He's a good man, that Mr. Brown.

The Thursday workday is over. Long live the Thursday workday.

I need a nap. I hope I won't fall asleep at big chicks. I doubt that would be a real issue, but one never knows....I'll try and just sleep on the train instead.

I'm very excited because I think they're going to be 18 people at my birthday dinner tomorrow night. I feel all warm and fuzzy about having so many friends come out for pizza in honor of me. I was telling my friend Lisa that I still sometimes see myself as the geeky middle schooler who has 5 people who come to their party. I sometimes forget how lucky I am to have cool friends who I adore and who like me. They really are my chosen family, and I feel very proud when I see them all lined up in a row at a table or at a party. Like I'm the big head of the household or something. It's so weird to see so many people in a room who have one thing in common -- me. This sounds all weird and full-of-myself, but I'm really not. I'm just grateful.

Even if one important person won't be there....I think I'll have a good time.

Assuming I survive tonight! Don't let me get into too much trouble Alex!

I'm off....
