Your Birthday Song! Hey!

Flaming Pink Birthday Cake

Pedro has inspired my roommates and I.

It was around midnight when we snuck to John Patrick's apartment. We spent awhile decorating the flaming pink birthday cake (that Erin baked) with "3 HCG's Love JP." HCG's meaning, of course, Hot Calvinist Girls. We lit 24 candles, set the cake outside the door, knocked on the door, and ran downstairs middle-school style.

We were ready to run back up to the door taking pictures and singing the infamous "This is your birthday song. It doesn't last too long. HEY!" as soon as JP answered the door.

We waited. And we waited. John Patrick never answered the door. So, as the candles melted into the flaming pink icing, I ran upstairs and knocked again, this time with much more force and endurance. I ran downstairs and heard the door open. Alas! The flaming pink birthday cake (already lit) would be enjoyed by the birthday boy himself! We waited to hear his initial response before running up with our cameras. But all we heard was the door slam shut.

What in the world?! This was his birthday song! It wouldn't last too long! HEY!

We were confused. We went back upstairs, knocked on the door and just stood there. John Patrick's roommate opened the door and blankly stared at us like we had she-mullets or something.

Finally, John Patrick came out of the bathroom (in his pj's) and let us sing "This is your birthday song! It doesn't last too long! HEY!" Good thing, too, because a birthday isn't complete without a flaming pink cake and 3 HCG's singing you a song.

I have not been permitted to reveal the exact date of this occurance, but John Patrick's birthday has come upon us in recent days. He has attempted to keep it a secret for some time now, but through extensive reseach, the Texas Girls have uncovered the mystery. So, JP...

This is your birthday song! It doesn't last too long! HEY!
