Gabe's gripes, grumbles, and guffaws

mood: tired

So yeah, about my 23rd birthday... It was a really nice weekend. It started off Friday night by Kari and Ken (my sister and brother in law) taking me out to dinner at Capers in Campbell. We had a nice chat ad I told them about my trip to Las Vegas last weekend and how I nearly got a tattoo while I was there. Now keep in mind that both Kari and Ken have several tattoos. So they were asking me what I was thinking of getting, and I told them that I was torn between a celtic knot, or a shamrock on my left hip... So Ken said "Fuck it, we're going tonight!" So 5 martinis later there I sat in the tattoo chair. I saw a really cool one that I fell in love with as soon as I saw it. It is a 3 leaf clover, only in a celtic design and it's way pretty. It didn't hurt nearly as bad as I thought it would... but yeah. Now I have a tattoo. After that we went back to their house for cake and more drinking... lol My mom and my grandma both liked it, which shocked the hell out of me. But now it's over. I was the last of my siblings to get one, and now I have one. :)

Saturday I went to help John move more of his things from his old house to his gorgeous new apartment. And from there he took me out to dinner to Masa's in San Francisco for my birthday. And OH MY GOD!!! The food was just to die for. We had a 4 course meal and by the end of everything we were so stuffed! After dinner we went over to John's friend Scott's house for HIS birthday party. I ran into spawrhawk and his boyfriend. John made me promise not to show anyone my tattoo though, so I didn't. After that I went back to John's place and slept. I helped him move more stuff Sunday. We went to dinner at this Thai place not too far from where he moved to. After that we went back to his place, lit a fire, and watched some TV for a bit. It was getting late so I headed home, and decided on a detour to KOC for a bit.....and wound up staying until 3:30 AM... but I had fun. It was an awesome weekend! 

Unfortunately today was very un-awesome, in fact as un-awesome as you can get but thinking back on this past weekend is making me feel good. That and the fact that John is the biggest sweetie. He called me a couple times today to check on how I was doing 7/25/02 is the day that my Uncle who I was very close to died and it's always a very hard day for me. So I had that and a lot of work drama that really brought me down. But he helped cheer me up. :) Now it's bedtime.
