My Birthday and Evatt's 7 Sins Party

My 22nd birthday - May 13. A bit more low key than last year's 21st festivities, but fun nonetheless. My roommates and a few others got me some crazy presents including napkin holders, a Queensland mug, an angel statue, and a book entitled, "Allergies: A Patient's Perspective," among other random things from Salvation Army. We had cheesecake, played with sparklers, and I even got outfitted with that awesome sweater you see to the right, plus some sweet neon glasses and clip-on earrings. Then, they blindfolded me and took me on the next adventure - ice skating. None of us had been since 6th or 7th grade, so it was definitely an experience. It was great skating around looking like idiots. It was family disco night, so aside from the parents, we were definitely the oldest people there. I got a few strange looks in my outfit, but no worries. Lauren and I tried out luck at the ice limbo contest, but we soon discovered we were no match for the 6 year olds who easily skated underneath the bar. After a night of ice skating, we headed back to Evatt for a casual evening of libations.

Evatt also had a theme party the other night at the local seedy bar, Shorty Pub. The theme was "7 Deadly Sins" so the idea was to dress up as one of the sins. Lauren and I dressed up as "Australian Pride." We didn't take many pictures that night, but here's what Lauren and I looked like.
