[livejournal.com profile] uheartcc's birthday was yesterday. CC was abducted and blindfolded and brought to a Korean restaurant where we were waiting in ambush. Since it was her birthday, we all had to wear mustaches of course. If you know her, it makes sense. I was out in the parking lot putting on my mustache while [livejournal.com profile] amelie_ami_chan ordered an "appetizer," a $100 sushi boat. If I'd known that, I wouldn't have ordered anything. Ignorant, I ordered three rolls and an unagi-don. While we waited for the food we assaulted CC with gifts; I admit, I was kinda jealous of the shirt she got. Apparently I look like Ned Flanders with my mustache. Everyone else took off their mustaches pretty quickly, but as much trouble as it was to spirit-gum it onto my face, I wasn't about to take it off. Though maybe I should've; it was pretty tricky eating with it. I think most of my miso soup was absorbed by the 'stache before it got to my mouth. Then the sushi barge showed up. OMG. At first it was a feeding frenzy as everyone snatched their favorite rolls and fish and whatnot. Then the side dishes showed up and then the entrees and then more entrees. No longer were we a team focused on demolishing the sushi barge, it was every man for himself. Ami got a . . . platter than was the size of a sombrero (and had she finished it, I would've ordered her to wear it). CC got what I can only describe as an egg pancake that was the size of an extra large pizza. Sammi and [livejournal.com profile] ashuracastle got beem-bop-bips (?); I don't know if they tasted any good, I just liked saying that word over and over together. Yeah, there was an assload of food and I don't think any of us came anywhere close to finishing our food. There was a lot of moaning and groaning as each of us tapped out, one by one. For the first time in my life I actually caught myself thinking, "No more unagi," and I had to ask my former-unagi-rival, [livejournal.com profile] catspaws for help in getting rid of it. I've never eaten so much sushi in one sitting. OMG.
We waddled out of the restaurant and reconvened at [livejournal.com profile] j_buns's apartment. It took the girls about an hour to get spruced up to go to 6th Street to celebrate CC's 21st. Matt abused some hair care products while we waited. I would post the video, but it's not really family-friendly. By the time everyone was ready to go, both Star and I were ready to give birth to the sushi babies in our bellies. As much as I wanted to witness the ensuing fun downtown, we parted company and headed home.
