happy birthday, mom!

OMG WE WENT TO THAI 9 FOR MOM'S BIRTHDAY. I was kind of afraid because I was starving and I don't really like Thai food. So I was really happy they have sushi (technically some of it was sashimi, I'm pretty sure) because I have been craving sushi since FRIGGING JUNE. So I had whitefish, tuna, and kalamari sushi for the first time ever. (Last and only other time I had kalamari was in Spain, in Madrid, in that basement of the tapas place where the Tuna band came to play.) I had shrimp (yum) which I've been craving like crazy, and the California rolls were about a sixth the size of the ones I had in Hawaii--much more manageable and much more delicious. I'm just glad Uncle Steve didn't put the eel on my plate though, I don't think I could have handled that. (Kalamari is kind of pushing it--I'm a texture person.)

Poor gramps, he accidentally ate the whole little pile of wasabi in one go. D: (That reminded me of when we all dared Nick to do it and he would have made like $200 because we were each going to give him $5... but then he decided not to. Probably a wise decision.) I can't tell if gramps was just tired or grandma and grandpa were both tired or the wasabi really roughed him up or what, but he seemed kind of slow tonight. *sigh* That's saddening. =/

OMG so dessert was fried bananas with ice cream (FBI). DELICIOUS. So, holy crap, I must go out for sushi more often. YUM YUM. I love seafood.

Plus, I totally recognized our waiter. I couldn't really place him though. His name was Brendan (or Brandon, I forget) and he is really tall, has both of his ears pierced and has a soul patch. I texted Laura and she thought it was a kind from Carroll from '07... That could be right. It's just weird, maybe because he's so tall, but I could swear he's older than me.

Facebook sleuthing shows me he's definitely not Brandon Lowery. So FUCK, now it's gonna bother me until I friggin figure it out.

YOU DON'T LIKE THAI FOOD?

I- I don't know if I can talk to you anymore. No, it doesn't even make up for it if you like sushi, I just- I can't even talk to you right now.

*Stomps off melodramtically*

MY HEART. YOU HAVE JUST BROKEN IT. I WAS WILLING TO GIVE IT TO YOU, AND ALL I EVER WANTED...

WAS A FELLOW LOVE OF THE AMAZINGNESS THAT IS THAI.

(No, really, in all seriousness, how can you NOT love it?! Its so YUMMMYY! :D)

Maybe it's just my mom's love of it, but every Thai thing I've had has had peanut sauce on it, and I am not about that at all, for some reason. *shrug* But I'm sure there's something out there I would like. =) Peanut sauce is just something I don't "get", and I guess my mom does, haha.

I never have peanut sauce. Actually, I don't think I ever have. I stick to curry and Tom Yum Kun, the most delicious soup EVER. I'd say "I should broaden my horizions and eat other dishes" but, no, they taste too damn delicious and everytime I get Thai food I Want Them So Badly. And having Thai food more than once a week in Seattle still did not solve this.

I swear I'm like a pregnant woman- I get two cravings, randomly, and only those. Thai food and Jamba Juice. ... ONCE I GOT BOTH IN ONE DAY, AND IT ROCKED. EVEN IF THE THAI FOOD WASN'T CURRY OR TUM YUM KUN. :D.

Maybe Brandon Lowery? If he's 07 class. I had a giant crush on him in grade school lol.

That's what Laura thought, but I facebook stalked him and I don't think it's him, unless he changed A LOT in the past two years. I dunno. The guy kinda looked like Sean, the old guard instructor... It's killing me that I can't place his face, though.
