SIDENOTE: a happy birthday to me (yes. still.)

It's Friday!  And what's even better is that tonight is a continuation of the HMOH's bday at a NYC joint with friends.  My younger brother will be there - likely to do what he always does on these special occasions and have the bouncers lead out any males who come within my vicinity.  Apparently this stems from a greasy haired fellow, likely with fleas, that might have been the object of my affection for my 25th a few years ago.  

• My favorite people watching (or staring) is usually on public transportation.  A gentleman entered the subway yesterday morning with the worst handlebar mustache I've ever seen (and that includes my time spent working with Rollie Fingers).  It needed some kind of split end, hot oil treatment and maybe some more finger twirling.  I stared hardcore when I noticed him knitting what looked to be a small sleeve - likely for a baby's sweater. But you know what?  He was the only one to say "bless you" when I sneezed. I'm sorry for judging you, mustache knitter man. Bless you too. That sweater is probably going to orphans in Uganda.  You're definitely not just the pedophile I initially took you for. 
• With Fall weather in the mid-80s here yesterday, I took a break from sitting in front of the computer to stroll over to the nearest Pinkberry for some mango fro-yo.  The young man who served us yogurt had a "boobie" tattoo on his arm.  "Boobie" spelled in pretty cursive.  How's a mature adult, with a straight face nonetheless, supposed to order frozen yogurt with a boobie in their face?  call me immature, but if you did not laugh at this i call you boring.
• The woman at the salad place automatically gave me whole wheat bread.  Is she calling me fat?
• Yesterday, while I was being a brat (whatever), I threw out the "well it's my birthday" card (yes. still.).  I was then asked if I'd be pulling my crap and broadcasting another year older next year  - well into my late twenties.  Of course I will if it still gets me things.

So yea, great friends in town to celebrate my bday (yes. still.) and then the engagement (and birthday) of Danielle to Jason.  Stay tuned for a recap of the party - which I've been told has a sushi chef on hand ... and a big pool that someone will likely land themselves in fully clothed (or not) by the end of the night.


ONE MORE THING: To all my fans - those who have been to weddings, been in weddings, had their very own - please read.  I'm pulling together what I hope will be a funny post based off an article shared with me by a friend (I'm being modest, it'll absolutely be funny).  Please submit any awkward wedding photos you may have to HMOH for a chance to be publicized (or humiliated) on the site.  Your help is greatly appreciated!

Happy weekend!
