happy 20th maddy!

okay, so it wasn't "techincally" her birthday, but we went out for maddy's bday tonight. some sort of asian food in the latin quarter, then a bar after. we wandered for a while before we finally settled on a place. me, jv, chris and maddy drank and attempted playing drinking games, but without cards or red cups, we were kind of SOL. i can't freaking wait to play drinking games when i get back home to IV.

after a couple drinks at the first bar, we wandered down to an irish pub (where people are more lively and speak our language). we went downstairs and started chatting with the bartenders/other guys at the bar. maddy had "birthday princess" pin stuck in her hair, which attracted attention. at 11:55, we ordered our shots so we'd be prepared for our midnight drinking. right at midnight, a guy sitting at the bar goes, "it's midnight!" the dj stops the music and yells, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" the music starts playing again, and the four of us started shouting the "happy birthday" song...then everyone in the bar started singing along. once the song ended, we took our shots and started dancing.

to sum it up: our night was phenomenal. on the way home on the metros, maddy told everyone it was her birthday. in typical parisian fashion, most ignored her. lol.
