Birthday fun/Computer woes

[marciadanielle]

I went out last night to celebrate Philina's 26th birthday. I dressed up, put on make-up and wore my contacts, a rare occasion for sure!! Lol!! There was myself, Philina, her boyfriend Steve, Erin, and her (new) boyfriend Dave (this was the first time we were all meeting him). We went to the Red Tomato downtown for dinner and then we went to a club, Dirty Martini's afterwards and we met up with a few of Steve's friends. Dinner was really good. I had never been to the Red Tomato before, but I've been to Fred's Not Here, which is on the main floor (Red Tomato is in the basement - some menu items are the same). I think everyone enjoyed the food...and the company was awesome! I really liked Dave, he was really nice and was good at keeping the conversation flowing. Erin's picked well!! ;-) He's really into sports (which Erin totally isn't, but they're cute together) and him, Steve and I were talking about baseball, football, and tennis. I was able to hold my own, and I think I impressed the boys (men?)! I can thank my parents for my sports upbringing! Lol! After dinner we went to Dirty Martini's, a 25+ club nearby. I'm not a club person, but I did have fun! I didn't drink too much because I had to drive home. We danced a bit, but it was really crowded there (apparently it's really crowded there all the time) and most of us weren't really club people (Erin is, and I think Dave is, but they didn't seem super into it last night). Philina and Steve scored a couch so we sat for a bit and chatted. Philina was pretty drunk (which was cute!) and we gossiped about Erin and Dave, nothing bad of course! I left around 12:30am with Erin and Dave, we cabbed it back to our cars and said good night! I had a lot of fun (even the club part!) I'm really really going miss Erin and Phil when I leave. They're my best friends and we ALWAYS have a lot of fun when we hang out. But they both have promised to visit (possibly more than once - but we'll see money-wise) and I know we'll keep in touch.





I love that this picture turned out great! This is Philina, Erin, and myself.

In other new, my desktop is not working. My dad hired some computer guy to come to our house and set up a network (because my dad couldn't figure it out) and it could be a coincidence, but now my computer's not working. I got the blue screen of death twice, once yesterday and then again this morning. I restarted it both times and it seemed fine, but now it won't even turn on. I turn it on, but it seems the hard drive won't turn over and start. I dunno. Maybe it will be better in the morning. I don't want to lose everything on it!! I'm crossing my fingers. However, it's good I have my laptop in the meantime so I can check my email, lj and facebook!!

Alright, it's taken 6 years to type this out (the tv was distracting!!) and I have to wake up early in the morning, so it's time for bed!! Goodnight all!
