Happy Happy Birthday

Birthdays at "the Holla House" are the greatest time. Yesterday was Michele's 23rd birthday, and we really partied in style. I had the greatest time, and it wasn't even my birthday! Birthdays should really come around more often.

By some small miracle, everyone was home by 5:30 last night and we enjoyed chatting as we got ready for dinner. We piled in to Nici's nice Jeep (one more deer died so she could have that rental) and drove down to the Pine American Restaurant. The name sounds slightly shady, but it was actually a really nice seafood/pasta place. We sat outside on the patio overlooking the little river. We had our standard Cherry Cokes and toasted Michele, Columbia Law, and the upcoming Prom.

Mel made a funny comment that influenced the rest of our conversation with each other. We were eating at a nice place, talking about makeup artists, dresses, limos, and designers (all for the Prom of course) and she commented that she felt like she was on "The Hills." Hahahah. So true! We sounded so snobby talking about all that stuff... we couldn't quit cracking up.

On the drive home, we really rocked out to Natasha Beddingfield's "Unwritten" (see several posts below) and "SOS" by Rihanna. We're talking singing/screaming/dancing with the windows open. We were quite the spectacle.

We took the hyper attitudes and dancing in the house and started our own full blown dance party. We danced some cha-cha, lyrical, and hip-hop.

There were several boys there, who looked fairly annoyed at us, but we just kept on going. Standard fare in our house.

My favorite portion of this Act in "Michele's Birthday" play was the "So You Think You Can Dance" renactments. Michele and Krista did a contemporay dance number and Mel and Krista did a hip hop routine. Oh crapper, it was hilarious. We were pretty pumped.

Onward and upward! We then took our dancing to a more formalized club atmosphere and went 80's dancing at Area 51. Since we moved into our house we've been talking about going--and decided that last night was the night to finally make it happen. All six of us girls went as well as Cody, Ben, Jason, and Seth. We found the front of the room and let loose. HOly aerobics! I feel pretty confident in the hip-hop arena of dancing, and 80's dancing is vastly different... I felt like I lost ALL my rythym. I'd better start practicing for the Prom.

Last night was absolutley fabulous. Just fab. Would that every night could be that fun!
