BLOW OUT THE CANDLES

I'm 21!!!!!!

Finally! I'm legal in every way, shape and form! lol

My birthday weekend got kicked off on Friday with my mom treating me to dinner

at one of my favorite restaurants, P.F. Chang's.

My mom, sisters, and boyfriend Kevin all stuffed our faces

with some good ol' Chinese cuisine.

Saturday wasn't too eventful since I had to work,

but I made sure to treat myself to some shopping lol

On Sunday

{the actual day of my birthday}

Kevin && I headed 2 Balboa Beach, were I intended to have a beach party.

However, ...lol

even though I told tons of my friends to come at around 3,

I was starting to get bored since me & Kev arrived at the beach at noon! lol

Because his family had something special planned for me,

we packed everything up and headed to L.A. instead.

We then all headed over to Venice Beach,

where we spotted a bicycle decked out in fur,

bums arguing to the point of someone getting stabbed,

and plenty of other off-the-wall things.

Being that I was finally "of age" to do anything I wanted,

I decided to see if I'd be able to buy any alcohol...

and it worked! lol

Even though the cashier guy did a double take at my i.d.

{probably since my picture was taken when I was 15}

he gave me the okay to grab whatever I wanted lol

Not that I'm the drinking type,

but it feels good to finally use my i.d. and not get rejected! haha

We walked around the beach for a while,

ate the biggest pizza I've ever had,

and pop-locked as people walked by but we didn't make any money lol

One of the homeless guys had a piano and jammed on it for me.

Even though I was a lil' freaked out by this girl asking for a knife

so she can stab the bum that she got in an argument with,

we all had a good time lol

As we headed back to the car,

we spotted the famous "Muscle Man" of Venice Beach

and everyone insisted that I take a picture with him.

After he made sure that I was at least 18

{I guess since some parents freak out at their

underaged daughters taking pics with him lol}

Kev's family shooed me toward him to snap a picture of us.

I stood there with my hands by my sides, nervous! lol

This guy was super buff and wearing the TINIEST speedo I've ever seen!

The Muscle Man told me not to be scared, and that he wouldn't bite lol

After he put both of my arms around him, he growled in my ear!!!!! lol

And with a flash from the camera,

my reaction was captured forever hahahah

After leaving Venice, we headed back to Kev's family's house,

where they sung "Happy Birthday" to me.

Once I blew out all 21 candles of my triple chocolate cake,

I smashed whipped cream into Kev's face.

He grabbed a small piece of cake and I thought he was going to do the same

but instead, he fed it to me.

And just when I thought I was off the hook,

I turned around and SPLAT!!!

Kev's uncle smashed the ENTIRE cake into my face!!!

I was in such shock that all I could do was stand there! lol

Never in my 21 years of life has that happened to me.

But I guess there's a first time for everything lol

All in all, I had a lot of fun for my birthday.

Thank you all for the love!!

Here's to another year of life! :)
