Welcoming MAY

Really May already?! You know what that means... it's my birthday month!! YES. Along with finals, friends moving, and summer school. But so many great things happen in May. My birthday, my Mum's birthday, Becca Shea's birthday, mothers day, Flight of the Conchords in Phoenix, Animal Collective concert, FUN concert, May flowers, bahhh and so many more! Only two weeks left in the semester and I am having a slight nervous breakdown with sooo many research papers due and finals. This picture below represents May to me. This is my friends daughter at her second birthday party and she wants to be Tinkerbell. What a smart beautiful little lady.

To kick off my month, we had a "Real World" party last night. We welcomed all of our graduating friends into the real world by dressing up as the careers we are going into and we had a confession room where we would film ourselves saying whatever we wanted to say about everyone else and answering a list of questions.It was really entertaining really. The confession room turned into a competition to see who could fit the most in at one time.
I dressed up as a "beach bum with a cause". My future career doesnt really have a set uniform so I decided to be my dream career. I would like to be a hobo fer realzz. No shoes, no showers, no problem. Oh and I would live under the peer in Ocean Beach. And I of course would still care about advocating for children sooo I would spend my time raising money for them on the streets. If this was an effective way to help I would honestly consider it. Here is some idea of my costume for the night. I also had burning insense in my hair for the majority of the night that you cant really see. I only sizzled a couple hairs.. no worries. My shirt said "hobo's for ninos" and my cardboard sign said, "help support a bum with a cause". I'll have more pictures from last night once I get the pictures from other people. I also dont really know what was going on in this picture.

Here are a couple of the other outfits. A human rights lawyer, and a doctor. My friends are smart. (and of course, it is not a real party without an ice sculpture).

the one of you and ben could not explain your relationship in an image any better. like doing something totally strange, in your own world, laughing a lot. perfect.

also, i am in full support of both your hair and the hobo idea.

i would just like to say that my birthday also happens in may, but its not really ever that big of a deal in your world but maybe someday when i'm not thousands of miles away.
