Birthday-apalooza-explosion-extravaganza-supreme-champagnesupernova-delux...





...Is the proper name for the start of my 23rd year on this earth. I had put a lot of thought into my birthday and I wanted it to be a good one. As you can see from my last blog, my goal was to have a supurb pair of jeans for the occasion. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, I just couldn't find those jeans. I ended up wearing a skirt and was definitely satisfied with the result.
We went to the club (The Caribbean Hut) and it was wonderful! My oldest sister was able to sneak out away from her adhesive babies and come to the club with me. I've been going to this place for years so it's always fun to see people's reaction when it's their first time. My friends and I danced the entire night and it was great! We were in a pool of sweat, spilled drinks, and muffled shout outs from the DJ. I'm a hard and intense dancer so there's no telling what bodily harm I imposed on unsuspecting partyers, who cares it was my night! My sister enjoyed watching the Sean Paul background dancer wannabees poplock wiggle and ripple across the dancefloor. She clapped her hands like an excited three year old and I cracked up at her reaction. I was amused at how she, the once most dedicated cluber that had ever walked the earth watched the crowd from the sidelines in amazement. Hoping she was having a good time, she reassured me that she was rusty from not being out in such a long time but would soon join me and my friends on the floor. She kept her word. Within a few minutes the classic "Flex" came on and it was a wrap! All screw-faced and serious she sauntered onto the dancefloor and did her thing. It felt like circa 1998; back when your biggest worry was how you were going to be sneaked into the club. I wish my other sister had been there to officially complete the set: As I watched this beautiful mother of two, I remembered my other sister and how we would all dance in front of the mirror and choreograph dance moves...! I felt nostolgic, it was a wonderful night! I couldn't have asked for a better birthday!
