Let me be the first to suggest getting real drunk and naked. Then, the day after your birthday, you can be real hungover and cold, and spend a lot of time walking aimlessly in circles thinking, jesus, I wish I hadn't said that. Did I say that? Whoa. Wow, my head really hurts - I wonder if a Big Mac would make me barf or feel better? This usually works well for me. ;-)
Yay birthdays! Yesterday was my sister's birthday, the day before that was my best friend's birthday, and three days before that was my aunt's birthday. Next comes you, me, jonmc, and my dad.
I like birthdays.
For your birthday you should... get dressed up in a weird way and go out for cocktails. Require your friends to dress up also.
The Leonid showers are peaking this week. It might be fun to take a drive out into the middle of nowhere, pack a decadent basket of goodies and enjoy the show. Happy birthday, whatever you end up doing.
Otherwise, here are fun things to do: 1) catch a matinee at the movies 2) eat candy 3) aquarium! 4) eat more candy 5) walk around 6) rent a movie 7) eat some candy.
Personally, I like taking myself out for dinner and a movie.
Hmm. Where are you located? Are there things like museums that you keep meaning to check out but never make the time? On preview: yeah yeah aquarium!
What about football? You always have friends in a sports bar. Can the Fighting Irish can whup the Orange? Last time they played, they gots creamed. (I'm not a sports bar kind of girl, but I'll still be watching the Oregon Civil War game, myself.)
As a one man posse, there's a cool event that looks like it's worth checking out at the Miller Weitzel gallery (I am making assumptions that you will be in Cleveland, obviously). There will be pierogies there, so if all else fails, its got that going for it.
Yeah, the bread (at Empress) will fill you up for days, but it's delicious.
ND is gonna kick Orangeman ass! Maybe I'll hit up the arthouse cinema on a matinee... The MW even does look pretty cool, but I'm art galleried out right now. :)
Oh, sciurus, I thought you were surrounded by a lovely bevy of ladies!! All the same, birthday wishes, mister! Perhaps I can get away with this because I essentially host a party five or six nights a week as a profession, but one of my best birthdays ever involved a late breakfast, book in hand. Several hours in book and music stores, then back home to order in Vietnamese, drink beer and watch Eddie Izzard videos.
I don't do cold well. It's one of the things that really freaks out my body. I can't say this strongly enough: cold is painful and makes me cry. Literally.
