awkward moments define my life

i had the pleasure of attending abrose's (the first born of my lovely friend stephanie) birthday party today.  man, were there a lot of kids there, and i didn't even get there until the very end.  i have to admit that i felt very out of place, and not just because i don't particularly care for small children, which i blame partly on the fact that i was raised as an only child, in a neighborhood with very few children my age, and partly on my bff for making it into a full blown psychosis. (as he would say, kids are generally three things: short, fast, and loud).  while i don't believe that all children are this way, i would have to argue that the parents are 100% responsible for this outcome, in most cases i have seen, not tv, the radio, or society, but i digress.  all the kids were great today, despite my awkwardness, and the party was fabulous! however, it did not escape my observation that i was the ONLY single person there.  i felt like singing that song, "one of these things isn't quite like the others..." 

in any event, i just wanted to say:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMBROSE!

(i think that if we were able to have children that looked like this, i wouldn't mind as much)
