Sheena, Literature, and a series of events that followed

Last Saturday we had a Birthday party for my dear roommate, Sheena. To mix things up a bit she had the idea of doing a literature themed event where everyone could bring a favorite excerpt from a book, quote, poem, etc. It turned out so well, especially with the intellectual Boston crowd and I loved hearing the things that people chose to share. We are compiling the copies of writings into a literature book for her.
This is the amazing Sheen blowing out the candles on her blackberry/apple cake.
READ ALOUDS

Below is my good friend, Gabriel, sharing one of his originals...he is so very talented.Sheena even had the romantics recited to her
AND THEN...

Someone had an idea to do the ol' eternal chair sitting circle of trust thing....one thing led to another....and we were lost in theatrics for the entirity of the night.After the chair, I got on all fours and pushed the dining room table back and suggested a pyramid. They Obliged without the slightest of a beg (amen to vaulted cielings).

( I shouldn't have worn the high waisted "booty pants")

and then it was the foot-bouncing-circle of trust (there must have been a lot of camp councelors/efy goers in the group)

The the weaved chain of unwinding hands, and cinnimon roll hug, and tapping game were a few of the various stunts to follow.

In summary, I turned and said to some friends there who were not from church (but also had their heads thrown back in hysterics), "this is why Mormons don't need booze".

A VERY GOOD TIME (P.S. SHEEN I LOVE YOU!!! "To being 25 LOVEY!")
