So as many of ya know, my 21st brithday was this past Friday the 13th. It was really sad not being with those that i love and cherish. and especially sucky since I missed one of the pivotal birthdays in America. Random side note: When people ask where I'm from I say "The States" which is really wierd to me, cuz to me I'm American and from America, ya know? But we tried saying America the first few times, and you'd be surprised how often people give us looks of confusion. But everyone know where The States are. I feel like such a tool saying that though. Perhaps I'll try saying "The U.S" Anyway, I wasn't planing on going out on Thurs, but Lauren suggested it to me and we decided to go out with her roomate Mini and Mini's friends Inga (she's German) and Veronica (she's Noreigian?). We went to this one place, I forget the name, and waited for 30 minutes in line. We just wanted to get in there before midnight to have a birthday drink. As soon as we got to the front the man wouldn't let me in cuz i had on thongs! (flip-flops) I couldn't believe it! They wouldn't care back home, not unless we were going to some highclass place. Ugh. I felt so bad for the girls, but they didn't seem to care. We ran around Claremount some more and got denided at anoter bar. Finally we were let into a bar that was closeing at midnightish. At exactly midnight we had some shots of this licorish flavored liquor (blech!!). And then we had a vodka and redbull before they closed the bar. Ugh...i hate redbul... And oh my goodness was it expensive! 2 redbull vodkas cost AUS$25! Oh well, i dind't pay for it ;-)

We had a good night, we went to another place called "The Deen" We had to wait in another long line, but it was worth it. The place had different "Zones" and each zone had differnt music. One was a live band, another was techno/dance music and another was hip-hop. We went to the hip hop section and danced. It was fun just the 5 of us girls. We kept dancing with each other to keep the guys away. It was really fun girls time. At one point there was the drunk, old Arab guy that kept trying to dance with every girl in the place. He came over to our group and we would pull each other away from him to protect each other. But he would still dance right next to us and thrust into us. Gross! Luckily a gorup of guys came to our rescue! But man the guy was creepy.

The bar closed and we went to another one with the guys we met. Lauren had fun dancing with this one guy, Matt. and I was busy talking to one of his buddies trying to squash all the negative sterotypes he thought of Americans. He was such and idiot, but i loved calling him out on stuff.

We didn't get back till late. And then we slept. I woke up early to phone calls from Garrison, my newphew, and to talk to my parents. It was nice. But man was i tired.

On my actually Birthday (Friday night) Lauren and I were suppose to go out with the girls again. But they were busy. So they directed us to a good club. Ugh...we missed the bus to the club by literally 3o secs. We were walking through the bush to the bus stop and we saw it. We thought there would be another one, but turns out that was the last one. So we called a taxi and were on our way. The club was amazing. Kinda wierd to get in. They took our passports (we really need to get a proof of Age card) and put them though a scanner and we also were finger printed. I guess this prevents the local kids form using fake IDs. Its really niffty.

This club had two levels as well. A hiphop and a techno/dance with live DJs. We stayed down and dance to the dance music. It was really wierd when we were trying to find guys to dance with. They all were dancing in a circle with each other, much like girls do. It was so strange. Not till the end of the night did we find two guys to dance with. I like dance to techno music, because the guys dont really try and dirty dance with you like with other music. This dance is more face to face and not connected to each other. It was nice. But i really wish I was there with Stephen. I love dancing and I would loved to have dance with him. But don't worry, Steve, I was think about you all night! Promise!

All in all, I had an alright birthday! It would have been nice to spend it with friends back home, but maybe I can convince them to have a party with me in the Summer.

First day of the semester starts tomorrow. My first class is at 930. Hopefully I can find the lecture hall with no problem. Wish me Luck!
