July 2 2012
It seems like every year for the years and years I've known Amish and Amit, I haven't had the chance to really celebrate their birthdays with them. This may sound weird but I believe this time around, that unfortunate circumstance ended up giving me and a few friends the surprise edge that we needed.
Melva texted me in the morning and asked me if I was free to get together to celebrate Amish's birthday at her place. It was perfect, it was my day off and I was already planning on somehow surprising the birthday dudes so it was just perfect timing on her part. I'm a good liar when I need to be and a bad liar when I don't have to be if that makes any sense. I called Amit with birthday wishes and in the back my head, I had the game plan of "okay, I'm totally going to make up some lie about having to work so I can't celebrate his birthday with him, and wish him an awesome birthday whatever he decides to do". I did the same thing to Amish and now the plans were set. Lily, Xavier, Melva, and I got on the same page, Xavier and I picked up candles, gatorades, and some girl named Lily from work and it was on.
This is Xavier trying to scare Lily at work, it sounds stupid but picking up Lily from work was awesome. It's nice to see my friends in their work environment/work mode, it's almost a whole other side of them, maybe that's why I like it? p.s. Xavier was successful in surprising Lily, which prepared us for the ultimate surprise.
Before stopping at Melvas house, we made a stop at one of the best donut spots in Pomona (knowledge of this attained by Wizard Master Parker and Wizard Master Bones) to pick up a dozen donuts. Melva's house was pretty much the most charming house I've seen in a while, it was nice to see her, and actually hang out because we have never really had the chance to do that. Lily, Xavier, and myself were so freaked out about when to light the candles because we didn't want to light them too early, or light them too late. And as we were bickering, the brothers pulled up in their car and we all ran into Melvas bedroom and frantically lit all the candles with only one burn injury via Xavier.
Their faces were priceless, I'm so happy that they really had no clue that they were going to be surprised. And it was just nice to see these two, they are some of my closest friends and it's nice to know that even though I haven't seen them in a long while, nothing has changed, they smile the same and they make me happy just the same.
I made these two wall boards, I liked how drawn Amit was pretty spot on to the real Amit on that day and Amish's face in this photo was pretty accurate.
Okay, yes, I've become this weird loving animal/dog person in this past year since I've had Toph. It's tops bluebee! I seriously think every dog is pretty much the most handsome beautiful dog ever. But I mean this when I say this, Melva's companions are pretty much the sweetest dogs. Above is a picture of Lukas the dog, he was so funny, all he wanted was affection and he sure got plenty of it from all of us. I wanted to take him home, does that make me a bad person?
Here's a picture of Amit not being able to contain his excitement for all the donuts and fudge cake.
And this is Indy, such a beautiful girl! I don't think she was as (hey I just want you to pet me) as Lucas was but she wasn't any less sweet at all. She knows how to give hugs, but only exclusively to Melva.
Lily couldn't wait for the food.
Ending our night with some Bravo Burgers at Melva's house. So happy that I got to see the Sharma brothers, and so glad that we actually surprised them and so grateful to have spent the day with them on their special day with some more special friends. Love is a pretty cool thing.
And if you need any their drivers license info, just go ahead and email me, I don't think they would mind.
