25 feels good, my friends.
I was afraid I was going to have the worst birthday ever, and it turns out I was totally wrong. I didn't even get home until after midnight because I was having too much fun to go home.
I found the coolest place in South Africa. Thanks Babalwa. I can't wait to go back with my sisters. It's just flipping amazing. The waiters/waitresses are all musical theater students at UCT, so they put on a show for you every 10 minutes or so, performing everything from jazz to grease lightening to Whitney Houston power ballads. Obviously I loved that!
Want some pictures?
I'll give you some.

This is Babalwa and our waiter. After this song, her exact words were something like... "A man hasn't given me feelings like that in a LOOOOONG time."
Don't worry. I didn't let Tarquinn get that close to me. Also, I wouldn't be remotely surprised to find him taking Broadway by storm. Here come the food pictures. Sorry. I need to use them to convince my dad to take us there. :)

Ahhh, I'm so flipping full!! Okay, one more.
Since it was my birthday, they called me up on stage and sang to me. Two men, vying for my heart. I mean, attention. They sang "When you say nothing at all". I'm please to report that I made both of these men laugh out loud in the middle of singing.
They gave me a certificate and everything!

It was a great time with some great friends and I highly recommend it for any "hen party", since I'm pretty sure nobody in the whole place had any interest in women. :)
But even with a night full of theatrical performances and entertaining songs, my favorite musical moment of the day was this:

(And no, Joey, we aren't secret lovers. I am just breathtaking. Usually because I make her laugh so hard. It's true, though, that if we both end up old and single we plan to become Anne of Green Gables 2.0. Fair warning...)
