One of the best.

So Tuesday was one of the best birthdays of my life. Why? People seemed to care and REMEMBER my birthday. Ha. Yes, the attention whore part of me was fulfilled for the jour. My mother and father usually forget my birthday, but not this year. I went to my internship and they threw me a lovely birthday party and gave me a one of a kind Norma Jean tee. I was even just happy they said Happy Birthday, much less a celebration with candles and cupcakes. Just so you know, I blew out candles 3 times on my birthday, which is more than I've ever done in my previous ones. I met up with my old roommate, Mimi, who I met in the West Village for some Yogurtland and Marc by Marc Jacobs shopping. Yogurtland was as always, delicioso, and Marc Jacobs was fabulous in terms of new things since the last time I went. In December. She bought me a new wallet, which was really sweet of her. She'll be here next week all week for tech rehearsal. She's in an Opera! I wish I were in a show. I miss shows.

After internship, I skipped class and met Soo at an Italian restaurant in the East Village, I believe it was called Paprika. St Marks between 1st and A. I highly recommend it. We got some Pinot Grigio and I got Mozza and Tomates as an appetizer and Grilled Salmon avec Epinards with a citrus sauce/dressing. Yummy. For 22 dollars. Soo got a salad with Pears and Goat Cheese to start with then Gnocchi which I highly approve of. Anything potato will sit well with me. Haa. That was a lovely, lovely birthday dinner. Then after, I headed to Serendipity for dessert. Got Faustyna along the way then rode the train uppity up to 59th and Lex. Got to Serendipity and there was, alas, a 40 minute wait. As expected. By the time everyone came, it was time to go in and sit and eat. Everyone, except Daniel ordered a large chocolate-y dessert, and Faustyna got a cheesecake. I then opened presents and got the best presents EVER. Spa certificate, a new dress, and an ESPRESSO MAKER. Props to Gwen for remembering what I wanted from Bed Bath and Beyond. I'm going to wake up Saturday, make an espresso, then go get a facial with my Spa certificate. Va bene!

After dessert we chilled at my place, had some terrible beer. Note to self, never drink Fosters again. Then headed to Robs to chill on the roof. I love his roof. I'm jealous. All the time.

All in all, a great day with good company.
