Closer to 4-0

So, my tongue is no longer stuck to the roof of my mouth, so yea me!  My birthday was yesterday and dear sweet baby Jesus, this year didn't disappoint either.  I am destined to have f'ed birthdays apparently.  This was not the case until I reached adulthood, so what's with that?!

We went out on Friday for sushi and "adult beverages".  Let me preface this with this.....we do this EVERY YEAR with *almost* the same results.  My friend and I have birthdays one week apart and our bodies can't handle two celebrations that close together, so hence the one night of complete sloth and extravagance!

So, we met up with some friends at the usual sushi place and drank TWO bottles of wine between the two of us.....good times.  It is never a good sign when the amount of money spent on wine exceeds the amount spent on crunch rolls.  That should have been a pretty good indicator.  Oh and this guy that I have been talking to was in town, so he actually came along for the ride.  "Bless his lil heart", he has no idea.  

This then got excessively crazy!  I don't even think I drank anything at the next bar except this rancid tequila shot that my "friend" got for me.  I guess she hates me because it was THE most foul glass of turpentine EVER!  So, things were rapidly downhill after that point.  Then it got really screwed up.  

My friend came back to the table and sat down........completely out of it.....I mean OUT.  Not good.  EMS was called and dontchaknow it's bad to see medics coming to assist *your* friend.  So, she was transported to the ED.  Crazy night...............oh yeah and did I mention I was pretty drunk.  Good times.....not.  We stayed in the ED until 0500......and the "new guy" stayed with us.  So, big points for him.  ;) 

I truly think that she was given GHB in her drink which I find really scary.  I have spent enough birthday celebrations with her to know how she handles her alcohol and this was completely different.  She wouldn't even rouse to ammonia inhalants.  I did notice her talking to a guy by the bar, but I really didn't think anything of it.  So, take home message, please look out for one another.  I am sooooo glad birthdays only show up once per year or else I might need a new liver.

So, this year was another stark reminder of why I am a homebody when it comes to celebrations.  I think next year, I am going camping.
