Birthday Karaoke

So I am officially 26 years old! I've now gone into the 'late' twenties, boo hoo... Had a great birthday yesterday. Well, first had lectures and a suture tying practical from 9am to 5pm and then had dinner at Daphne's house. Daphne is my landlord and she invited everyone that is renting from her, over for a big dinner. She had this squash, rice and ground beef dish and for dessert, she made fresh tiramisu! It was delicious! I went home around 7.30pm and got on Skype with my fantabulous girlfriend and had two presents to open from her. She had left me a bag of presents before she moved back home so that I would have it here on my birthday. Yeah, I know, she is quite awesome and I love her! She got me a new shirt to go out in, an album of photos that she put together and the most amazing book EVER!!! She got me "100 Facts About Pandas" and it's by this comedian that her and I went to go see during The Fringe Festival this year. The comedian's name is David O'doherty and he is hilarious! Here is random panda fact #1:

Hear No Panda, Smell No Panda:
-The panda smells through its ears and hears through its nose, technically making its nose its ears, and its ears its nose.

So, there is the first panda fact of this book. I will randomly post more facts at random or just whenever I feel like it. I think they are really funny and the pictures that go with the facts are even more hilarious! After I opened my presents from Kristen, I went to Electric Circus (a karaoke bar) and I reserved a karaoke room for 15 people. We had so much fun that we extended it by another hour. We were there until 1.30am and I was so tired when I got home, not to mention my voice was practically gone! Was a great time with friends from class and now I'm ready for a busy weekend of studying.

So I will be working on studying today and trying to keep up with the lectures. I finally received my small animal surgery book and have 11 chapters to read. So, will be busy working on that. Anyway, hope all is well back home and I will see you all soon for Christmas break!

Sounds like a great birthday to me!
You are so lucky to have found a landlord like Daphne. I am very much looking forward to meeting her in person! You are so right about your Kristen. She is definitely one of a kind. (The kind you keep!)
So what did you sing at Karaoke? A little "Frank"?? Miss you Dan!

I think it's funny that it's not even Halloween, but you're already saying you'll see us soon at Christmas. :) I guess it is closer than it was before!

So do pandas taste thru their skin?

Glad you had an awesome birthday!
