Jade’s Birthday Party

Jade turned 29 this year! The night started with a hitch when I misread the invite and Kevin and I went to the wrong venue. I knew something was amiss when I walked into the club and saw a room full of barefoot hippies (some with tambourines) clapping their hands in the air and chanting. Errrrr… where are we?

One time my aunt had a Christmas party, and no one thought to ask for her address cuz we had a vague idea where she lived and assumed we’d recognize it when we got there. So my sisters and I drove in that direction, saw only one house on the street covered in Christmas lights with flashing lawn ornaments, and assumed that must be the party. Without knocking, we opened the door and walked right in……… Only to find an Indian family quietly eating dinner. Too embarrassed to apologize and explain my mistake, I instead turned around and ran out the door, my equally embarrassed sisters following closely behind. That poor family, I wonder what they thought?!

Anyway, back to Jade’s birthday. We finally found our way to the correct party without too much embarrassment!

Max, Jade, Kevin, me! I put my blue contacts back in just for the night… don’t tell my doctor!


Hello birthday girl!

Jessica and Jade duke it out on the pinball machines

Oh, there were some cute guys there too. ;-)

Jade pretty much GONE!

We’re only pretending to like you because it’s your birthday! (Jade’s response: “Whatever! You guys have been dying to hug me your whole lives, so you purposely showed up to my party late knowing that I’d be drunk and you could take advantage of me!” Yes, Jade. That is exactly what we did.)

    looks like you guys had lots of fun ^^

    and hell yeah…that dude with the basecap IS yummy! :P

  • RothRandom says:

    zomg! it’s like the pictures are a timeline of how smashed everyone is getting! XD

    and holy crap your stories are always funny! I hate it when you think someone you know would know the general directions to someplace and when you’re 40 miles out, you find out that they thought you had directions and it all goes downhill from there….

    • shrinkle says:

      My favorite is when everyone’s lost and no one’s phone is getting a signal!

      • RothRandom says:

        NO!!!! I almost cried when I couldn’t get signal on a boat because you know when you’re in a place that you’ve never been to and you lose signal to your phone, you start to get a little paranoid feeling like everything’s starting to turn into a horror movie…D:

        Ooooh…longest sentence in the world right there ^

  • jessica says:

  • jessica says:

    haha that’s christmasstroy is awesome!
    Once on New years eve a friend and I walked outside of the house(all of our friends were allready outside to look at the fireworks.) and there was a group of people. We thougt they were our friends. When we were there, we realised that we had no clue who these people are. They saw us and started screaming “Happy new year” and gave us beere.

    • shrinkle says:

      HAHA that is awesome! One night a bunch of us were at a club and heard there would be an afterparty. Our friend Black Mike said he would meet us at this afterparty. The directions were pretty vague, so of course we ended up at the wrong house. We walked in, received a warm welcome from everyone, then realized we didn’t know anyone there and were probably at the wrong party. I said “Where’s Black Mike?” There was a pause, then the host said “Black Mike? We have a Black John.” and presented to me the one black guy at the party whose nickname also happened to be Black John. It was fun, so we decided to stay!

    Is that Lucky 13? I Loved that place! Awwww….

  • Mulysa says:

    Wow, I think that’s the most I’ve seen of Kevin in one post! And SMILING in almost all the pics!

    OMG, the same thing happened at my bday party two weeks ago! My friend, Carissa, walked right in to the door next to my friends door and there was her neighbor chilling on his couch. She said he looked up at her and said, “You are looking for Krystal, aren’t you?” and directed her next door.

    Krystal did the same thing going to my hotel room at Screamfest last year. I get the SAME room EVERY year and she was so blitzed, she walked into the wrong room and there was a guy on a motorized gurney bed and a group of other people. She freaked out when she got to my room! Haha! Liquor. It’ll take you places you never expected to go!

    • shrinkle says:

      I was shocked too when I was uploading the pics off my camera and saw the one of Kevin smiling. Who is this person pretending to be my boyfriend?!?!? He wasn’t even drunk.

      Haha your neighbor is probably soooo used to “the weirdos next door” (aka you!!) ;-)

      Oh god, I just remembered my all-time biggest night of shame. I used to live in a neighborhood where all the houses looked very similar. One nite after a few drinks, I forgot where I lived and tried to break into my neighbor’s house at 3am. They came to the door to see what the ruckus was, and I just turned around and ran. They were really nice about it, but I avoided them for a YEAR after that!!

  • Elizabeth says:

    Amy! The blue contacts! Naughty, naughty. PS: Love Kevin’s smile, he should do it more often.

  • auraphage says:

    I’m going to send this URL to your doctor!

    ….

    Hey, who’s the tramp trying to make out with your boyfriend?

  • Tay says:

    How come you’re not supposed to be wearing your contacts?

    • shrinkle says:

      Hi Tay!!!

      My eyes were just really dry and started to get scratches on them because I was rubbing them so much. So my doctor switched me over to this Oasis brand for people with dry eyes, but it doesn’t come in pretty colors. Boo hoo! :-(

  • Sakura says:

    The Christmas story is so good!
    Are the blue contact lenses only to change color or you use them instead of glasses? I use glasses since I was 14 and I just can’t use contact lenses. It takes me agessss to get ready with them! and tbh I got used to my face with glasses and I can’t see me going out without them. I feel like there’s something weird on my face lol.

    • shrinkle says:

      They were prescription contacts. I am blind as a bat! I do have glasses, but they are soooo old, the prescription is all wrong and barely helps. :-}

  • Rhia says:

    LOL, I can so imagine my family going into the wrong house like that.
    I saw the photos of you without your contacts in and I think your eyes are just stunning, even better without the lenses even! god you look different without them though! you must have had them blue for so long

    • shrinkle says:

      Aww thank you! And yes, I had the blue contacts for about 3 years. I am soooo blind without them, that I forgot what I looked like with brown eyes. Because once I took out the blue contacts, I couldn’t see my own reflection in the mirror anymore, haha!

  • Charissa says:

    Haha. I’m loving these stories. All of them made my day.

  • persianmouse says:

    Don’t worry about walking into the Free Love and Tambourine Festival, it could have been worse. Me and two friends once showed up at the wrong funeral. It doesn’t get more awkward than that.

    • shrinkle says:

      Carly, I didn’t want to be the one to tell you this, but… [deep breath, gently placing my hand upon your shoulder] … you’re going to Hell.

  • Maki says:

    hahah i was going to say, blue contacts~! pinball is so much fun~!

  • Ayustar says:

    LOL, that Christmas story is awesome. I would have laughed SO hard I would have died!

    Yeah, you will be ok if you wear your contacts once in a while. I thought they must be irritating. I can’t wear contacts very much because they dry my eyes out so much. I want to get the ones you have though, because I have brown eyes too and nothing shows up on them, -_-.

    • shrinkle says:

      Oh, the brand is Acuvue, and the color is Sapphire. It is from their Colorblends line, which was created specifically to show up on darker eyes. I loved mine! Till they dried out my eyes and I started rubbing the shit out of them. :-(

      • Ayustar says:

        Yeah, I thought I noticed that your eyes seemed a bit irritated but I wasn’t sure if it was just the blue coloring of the contacts bringing out the redness of the veins in the eyes?

        That sucks. Wearing them on occasion is ok though, at least.

        I will have to look into those contacts. They are so vibrant and don’t look stupid haha.

  • Lucifin says:

    Hi Amy. I just discovered your blog yesterday. :P You have a gorgeous personality and I really enjoyed all your photos. >_< You have a great sense of humor and I also am looking forward to getting my hands on your latest creations. (Sadly some of the ones I want had been sold out. :( Oh well that's what I get for not knowing things. tehe) I'm also looking forward to sugarpill. I'll definitely visit often now ;)
