Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! I had a pretty good day yesterday. My free Denny's breakfast was awesome, especially the pancakes. Last time I had Denny's pancakes, they were mediocre, but that was at a location in SF. This one was much nicer. The bus didn't even take that long to get out there. Guess I thought it was further away than it was. I got home in plenty of time to watch my Spurs game, and they did great again. 7-1! Just hung out until 7 pm when I went over to my friend's house. I ended up beating him there and standing on the porch awkwardly for a while (he had to go pick up another guy from downtown.) There were only 5 of us there, but it was most of my favorites. I was pretty happy with the size of the group anyway. We sat and chatted a while then ordered some pizza-- a small Hawaiian and a medium cheese. The one guy tried to put candles in it for me but it wasn't working and the wax was getting on the cheese, so he kinda gave up, but they all still sang happy birthday to me. The one guy had to leave early because he'd just moved the other day and still had a lot of things to take care of. We kept having a nice conversation for a while, but things eventually got a little intense when they were giving me advice and telling me how to improve and stuff (and also how they believe in me and I need to believe in myself). It was a little rough, but I know they were doing it out of love. I started crying a bit because I don't feel like I deserve that. It was kind of embarrassing. But afterwards to make me feel better, the one guy asked me if I wanted him to buy me some ice cream when we left. Of course I did. I almost never say no to ice cream. We left not long afterwards, and the one guy drove us home (except for the dude whose house it was at. He just stayed there.) But before that we stopped at the gas station to get me ice cream. I had said I really like the Snickers ice cream bars, so the one guy picked me out one to eat then. It was pretty perfect because they're usually annoyingly melted when I eat them... this one had an amazing texture. It was totally unexpected, but the other guy bought me 3 of the same Snickers ice cream to take home and put in my freezer. Just simple things, but I feel so loved. At least one more guy from the team wants to try and see me. He was really hoping to come last night, but he was really busy with some film project of his. He said he'd try to see me soon though.
