August 26, 2007: "the king has been given away"




the king from the previous entry. let me tell you, he was definitely the king of the gifts table at the party (haha. puns).



and the party itself was pretty, too. i was a bit too preoccupied to go camera happy, although everything from the ocean and bonfire to the boardwalk was absolutely resplendent. i'll just link to the website instead: ocean place, whose photos are better than any i would take anyway.

the highlights included a giant cake and fireworks that lasted for about twenty minutes. they were below the moon and a happy sight, and it looked like the moon was getting blown up.

happy birthday, taylor.

Wow, that party sounded and looked amazing =]
I wish I could go to beach parties, but the closest beach to where I live is like an hour away x_x
Love that Elvis thing too, hahaa.

NO!! I want that Elvis coin jar!

Sounds like you had a good time! The place looks beautiful :)

Oh wow that sounds amazing. I love fireworks. And that looks awesome lol glad you got to take a picture of it and glad you had a great time =D

haha, that does look like a giant beer bottle, or maybe a really giant flask.

the venue looks pretty.

YES. That's the most beautiful GIFT I've ever seen. I must say, your description of it sounded extraordinary, but I don't think anything could have ever done that justice except ribbons and a picture. :)

That is a pretty cool gift to be giving someone, and I am surprised that it was on sale for $12.99! Before I read your previous post, I swore that it was a very large beer bottle; instead of the coin jar that it actually was.

The party looks like it was great, especially since it was beside the ocean. Where I live you can only use fireworks on national holidays...anytime else and you get a one way ticket to not very nice place behind bars. Stupid laws...

What exactly is that. A giant elvis beer bottle. Looks like it to me. Ohhh fireworks must've been awesome.

[Hannah] Monday, August 27th

Wow! That view is amazing! Sounds like you had fun at the party. Fireworks are always great to see!

[Lily] Monday, August 27th

hey!! lol yea probably.. i haven't gone to a party in a while.. but your life sounds a lot better than mine.. lol ;)

[Thao] Monday, August 27th

Wow, that looks absolutely beautiful! I wish I was there! I'd be too caught up soaking up the scenery to take pics too. Sometimes, the camera just won't do justice.

Re your comment: You're lucky if you can even find unlocked internet elsewhere! I still don't have mine. And yes, my bf is very special for throwing me the party... it ended up being a birthday/surprise engagement party!!!

Omg! Everything is stunning! Even the room Elvis was in was cute. And the gift is totally amusing, hahaha. =)) You should post more with pictures! Ah, I have DDR Max2, but I'm not good at DDR so I'm still on light. ^^;;; But it's so fun. Yeah, I've heard that most DDR games loose data unexpectedly...mine hasn't done that yet, but it decides when to save my AA's and when to leave it as the B from before instead. =D Omg, 2 hours of sleep! How?? Especially if you normally sleep what...didn't you say 14 or so?? lol!

It looks so nice there! I love palms.

[Jess] Monday, August 27th

The PBB/guitar thing is definitely cool =D
The resort does look nice, I'd love to go somewhere like that... I suppose we do have Gold Coast but it's still a good hour or two away.
Moon blowing up, eeeep. Moon shards everywhere! Haha. Sounds really fun =)

Like Hiro said, parties are fun. :) I just came back from a birthday party/sleep over and I'm dead tired. I guess that's what happens when you sleep at 4 AM.

The moon getting blown up is always a great sight to see. ;) Fireworks are banned where I live. Leave it to the mayor to suck the fun out of everything. :(

[Hiro] Sunday, August 26th

Parties are fun. :3 The goodie bag (I'm assuming that's what it is) is pretty cute. XDDD

[Austin] Sunday, August 26th

I never really minded buns.. they enlighten the day, along with spiffy photos, hearings of a Herculean cake, and intriguing metaphors (the moon getting blown UP?! Quite the party, yeah? :) ).
