if you like . . .

money,

puppies, even from a distance,
and art . . . like i do . . .

than maybe you would like birthday parties too!

friends,
cool older kids with houses who host these things.

at birthday parties, you might , , , 
meet old friends, 
see some of those really cool kids you TAd for, 
become really overwhelmed. 

also, since you like all those things above, you will probably also appreciate friends who are so close they can act affectionate towardds each other like these two sets of friends:

the tongues,
and the 'scruffs brothers'
if you didn't have fun at the party there's always a cold, scratchy ikea pillow and kid's sleeping bag to come home to.  thanks everyone it was a fucking radexcellent birthday.
