it was my birthday (and it was a long time ago)

my birthday was really great and it was mostly thanks to ryan. spent the day around bloor west village - breakfast at sunset grill, visit the restaurant, visit with colin and alex, a run in with francEs at chapters, run in with mike and dave (acutally it was a strange day for running into people because come to think of it, we ran into greg and joe too) - and ryan made sure to tell everyone that we ran into that it was my birthday (i really milked it this year - 23 seems a pretty auspicious number to me).

he also got all my friends to sign a card for me which reminded me of high school yearbooks!

anyway we went to the swan at night because they have a really nice patio. my friends came by and then when the restaurant closed mike came by and talked lou and julie into coming. they ended up having fun and stayed until last call. lou just kind of freaked out when he saw alex campbell because he said he could remember him coming into the restaurant when he was three.

anyway, it was fun. we are all pretty drunk in the pictures, but i am sure you can probably tell. and sorry about the colour, size and layout of the photos...it's partly because the lighting was really dark and i had to play around a lot in photoshop and partly because i just forgot how to blog...it's been that long...

and i just realized that poor ryan is in one picture. so he took all the pictures too (and a lot of the bar bill)
