Terry's View

19/6/2003 - 44 Today

Unlike most previous birthday's I made the mistake of sharing this one. Normally I like to spend most of this day by myself. This is to ensure I only do what I want to do. Last year I was in England - Steve woke early to buy me some long stem roses. When I saw the roses I was so happy - they were beautiful.

But that beauty didn't last long. Because they were cut very short to fit inside a pickle jar.

Well this morning, Steve got up early and bought me flowers again. It was nice to see he still cared.

In the afternoon, I finally decided to shower and go collect my gifts. The jeweler was my first stop. He gave me a beautiful pair of pearl, diamond, and sapphire earrings. The fruit-stall guy gave me a cantaloupe and some cherries. My bartenders wanted to serve me my martini. But I had promised Steve no martinis, and he could tell if I did, so I settled for sangria.

I decided my birthday meal should be simple chicken kebabs. ET had phoned and I invited her over. However by this time I was feeling bored and testy. Steve had decided to avoid me for safety reasons. I went for a smoke and decided to go and get the painting I purchased from Susan.

ET arrived quite early at about 10:30. Steve decided it was safe to re-enter the apartment, and I decided to go out. I had purchased a new wig, which he found unacceptable. Of course I had to wear it for that reason alone. ET and I hit the 2nd Avenue circuit feeling no pain. We went to Brandy's Piano Bar and I ran into a friend there who then took us to American Trash on 1st Ave. ET was in very rare but true form, which became very annoying very quickly. I went in to the Ladies' room; there I met a pretty blonde who kept admiring my hair. So I decided to pull it off my head and give it to her. Her mouth feel open, so I closed it for her, adjusted the wig to fit and left.

Still waiting to play a game of pool. I decided to hasten their game by insulting the players. It worked. I got to play the next game, which I lost to my friend who is another pool junkie. After making a few new friends and foes, my friend Shane showed up to put a smile on my evil face. As I was leaving after giving up on trying to persuade ET to go, The 'Mistress of the Night' finally decided she would leave. Just as fate would have it, a gorgeous white hulk asked me and ET to join him at his apartment for a goodnight treat. I leave the rest to your imagination. Did I mention it was already 3:30 am?
