Saturday, April 14, 2007 | Posted by Jay The Big 20
I celebrated my 20th birthday last month with my family (sis included - she came home for Spring Break =D ). It was pretty sweet actually.
I was working overtime, trying to finish a project, and basically worked until it was past midnight. I looked up from my half-finished work and was like "Oh. Damn. I'm old now =_=."
Kiwi (who was also awake for some reason) was the first to wish me a happy bday, and proudly presented me with a gigantic baby bottle (intended to be an ironic joke) filled with marshmallow candy snacks (ironic joke forgiven). I was on hyper mode for the next two hours.
After that the day was pretty much a blur. The rest of the celebration happened over dinner (all-you-can-eat QUALITY SUSHI!!!). I'm getting hungry just remembering it =_=.
My stepdad played a prank on me - had a friend call my cell under the pretense of a traffic officer from my uni. He said that I had about $800 in fees for some cited speeding and bad parking (a memento I never seemed to shake off after driving lessons with my stepdad) and that I would need to come in to take care of that balance by the next day. They had a good laugh out of that.
March of the Spoons!
On April Fool's day, Kiwi and I decided to play a prank on our parents. With an army of spoons demanding their surrender at 6am in the morning.
It was random. Unheard of. And didn't make any real sense.
But it was utterly hilarious.
The night before April Fool's day we drew faces on the backs of white plastic spoons, the angrier ones reserved for commanders dressed in red paper capes (like the 300 Spartans movie!), and we chose one of those super-dramatic, loud drums-and-opera music tracks from an Esca Flowne OST. We set the spoons up on blocks of styrofoam so that it looked like battalions of angry spoons were going to tear down the doors to the master bedroom, and we had the army music playing on repeat mode, as loud as my speakers could go (so that you could FEEL the drums going underneath the carpet).
Even with all this drama going on outside their doors, it took them a while to come out (we ended up doing it at 8-9am since we woke up late). Ah well. Their reactions were worth it (my mom laughed while my stepdad was struck speechless =p).
I Got Sick
...somewhere in the middle of all that hubbub. Apparently I'd been living on expired orange juice and bad iced tea for a week (hence the gorgeous wallpaper that came of it). I think I'm still getting over it ><.
I'm Training Again
I took Tae Kwon Do for two years...and dropped it for another two years. And now I've decided to pick it up again.
And I've been in pain since I made that decision.
Unfortunately, my schedule doesn't allow me room for the traditional classes. So in place of that I'm doing the more sports-oriented version for now.

I like the new wallpaper. It would work as an awesome book cover as well. Ever consider making notebook designs sis?
Notebook designs? As in class note-taking paper kinds of notebooks?

What? You just turned 20 recently? -_- Will someone hand me a cane? I had no idea you were younger than me. LOL At least it is only by a year or less. xD
I would have freaked out if my family did a prank like that on me. I'm pretty gullible at times. X_X
LMAO!!! to the spoon thing. Hum... If i did that my mother would probably kill me for waking her up. heh
Ew... food poising is never fun, but that is a smexy wallpaper.
Training... X_X Yeah, I can just imagine the pain you are in. I'm so out of shape that all I can do right now is walk. *fells pathetic*

Hi sis! Spring Break was awesome =). Like Mom says, you're 2 0 (aka too old hahaha). You didn't talk about Pride and Prejudice lol. Anyways, take care of yourself and eat right. I'm proud of you for taking up Tae Kwon Do again =). And guess what? I got the Boeing internship! Thanks for cheering me up the other night

Aiye that's so cool! I just had my birthday too and after taking up figure skating for a bit over two years (I've been on and off) and quitting for another two, I'm also back. (Sort of depending on my schedules too.) And in addition, I'm planning to take up wushu as well somewhere along the line. :D
Anyways, belated happy birthday and g'luck with your taekwondo there. XD~ Yay for martial arts!
