Popsicle Sweet: 21 Things

Well this blog took a while to finish.. a bit ambitious for a second post I feel. At some point in the writing of this I found 3 cashew nuts next to me on the couch and ate them, so please forgive any oddities.. haha. This is how my 21st birthday went.

1. I turned 21 on the 16th of March 2012. Officially oldypants. I spent this most important of days in the land of the Jafa.

This is the Sky Tower. You can tell right?

2. Madlen was there! Probs one of my fave peeps and a day maker. Go to the movies at 10am. Only ones in the cinema ohhh yeah. (We saw This Is War. Totes perve central.)

Photobombed by the Lorax. Naturally.

3. MOST AMAZING Eggs Benedict EVER. All it needed was spinach and a hash brown on the side rrraaahhh.

Saaaalivate.

4. Other yummy food: Burger Fuel, Do(ugh)nuts(!), Gelato, suspicious risotto

Deeeeeeelicious

5. People in Auckland are rude!! From bus drivers to servers to general common courtesy while promenading, we found that everyday niceties were severely lacking. It almost explains all of the Jafas I know.. haha! Welcome to Auckland, bitches.

Rudest of all!! Mwaha

6. Primped and primed in new dress before the reason for our trip... T Swift!!!

This is how we pose.

7. We went to a French restaurant for dinner which, typically, had no vegetarian dishes. I think Madlen had something shrimpy while the chefs made me risotto with several bizarre types of mushroom.

What does it meeeean

8. Macarons while we waited in the queue :). My goodness I want some now.

This is after we broke them all in half ha

9. Hot Chelle Rae. Totes crushing on the lead singer.

There's mah biff all squishied on the left.

10. We got Strawberry Daiquiris in flashing glasses! I sat on mine while we were waiting for the bus the next day :(

Deeeelightful

11. TAYLOR SWIFT!! The reason for our trip!! She. Was. Amazing. Particular faves were Our Song, Last Kiss and Love Story, while Enchanted WILL be the first dance at my wedding. Cannotttt stress enough how amazing it was :)

Babe.

12. The nice cocktail place we were planning on heading to after was a bit too busy, so we got shots and bought some champagne on the way home before spying on all the people in the surrounding apartments.

We were awks the only ones in this club.

13. You're invited to my party. Just joss! Has already been. But here we have for your viewing pleasure..

The invitation!

14. Birthday dress. Love Asos.

Doesn't look quite as good on me as on this model.. biatch.

15. We had a dinner at Tutto Bene beforehand - me, my parents, Maddie, my brother and his cuteypie girlfriend. Dinner was typically yum (I had risotto for some reason, but was delishhh) (How many times can you mention risotto in one blog post?*), as were the cocktails...

Nawww

16. It was all a bit cute.

The photos are mainly of people mingling or eating.. There were more people there though, I promise!

17. There were speeches and a video of "a day in the life" (which shall appear here if it ever pops up on the internet). Highlights include the origination of "Spewlia" (obvious), comments on the messiness of my room.. valid, insinuating that I have a mohair fetish (lies!) and a brief photo montage of my "romeos" (not all of them thank goodness.. haha..)

Starting with a picture of me looking like a creep

18. My favourite song of the moment waaaaahh... Unfortunately it emptied the dancefloor haha

19. Viki and I had fun shneaking v out the back like naughty 16 year olds

So sneaky

20. AFTER PARTY!! I had to do 21 shots of various liquids in response to some rude (exaggerated!) things I was guilty of, like having stalkers or inviting myself and 3 other guys to a singles night (it was a joke!!) (haha!) I didn't realise how drunk I was by this point...
