Shrimp-ing

My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

-Forrest Gump

Do you like surprises? Not the close your eyes with hand and guess who kind off surprise. But more of the hush hush talks, whispers and diversions type. Do you? I like them, surprises. It's well, surprising! Alas i rather be the surpriser than the one being surprised. The reason? I'm bad at emotions. I feel, but i find it hard to show. What can i say my face betray me in the most crucial of moments.
Yesterday, was filled with surprises. My friends planned a surprised birthday dinner for me. They made me stand on the chair while the entire Bubba Gump Shrimp n Co waiter/res sung their version of birthday song, which included a line that went something like ' Shake your booty if you want your birthday cake. and shake i did, but it was more like sway ;p
Its amazing, d feeling of being surprised. It gives you a warm feel inside. Oh wait, that wasn't the end. After the dinner, the parents came n picked me up and straight we went to the theater. Another surprise. They even brought jeans for me to change to since i was wearing skirt (yes you read right). Sweet. It was a hilarious movie. Left me in stitches.
However truth be told, i think i prefer not to be surprised. It kind off messes with my system. I become a very different person at these moments, almost in a perplexed state, that conjuring a perfectly normal sentence is so darn difficult. But, i really appreciate all of their efforts. Thank you for believing that i deserve this celebration. It means a lot to me.

Its always you that matters the most.
