"They only want you when you're seventeen, when you're twenty-one you're no fun."
As of last year, I have always had three (count 'em) three birthday parties!
One for the kids at Stratford Hall, another for the FVAA/Carver/BCS kids and one for the adults (otherwise known as mein Surrogate Family)
Of course this was to be no exception this year! However, there was a slight complication... the SF party was probably going to be cancelled due to everyone's busy schedueles which totally bummed me out for a while. (But it was miraculously saved! More on that later!)
So for this year, this was the basic shebang for my three day birthday weekend EXTRAVAGANZA! Wahoo let's go!
December 19, 2008 - Stratford Hall Birthday Party at Mein Haus (I am a Germaphile now :>)
This whole day was pretty much amazing. It started off with the IB breakfast for the Diploma Program and everything was sooo nummy. But there was way too much French Toast! (lol, Priyanka) I had yummy chicken sausages, potato, bread, crackers with nutella... and KATHARINA'S CUPCAKES!! I swear, those are the best cupcakes I have ever eaten in my life! Katha, if you're reading this make me more!! :)
We also finished watching Stand By Me in TOK... I really really really like that movie. For only being twelve years old, River Phoenix was absolutely mind-blowing. And then the Great Race at school commenced! Haha, much fun seeing the Prize in a devil costume, tehehehe.
After a half day of school it was off to mein haus for party! I really had nothing planned for the party except for all of us to transit to my place and from there on, see where the wind would take us.
We got to my house at about 1ish, and then my mom came quickly after bearing samosas, pakaora, and pizza! Nom nom nom, we had so much left over! Hahaha. And then came cake time!! My cake was absolutely adoreable and tres mignon!!!
Adoreable, mais non? C'est un hamburgerrrr! It was almost way too cute to eat! But it tasted delicious as well!Present time was next and man oh man, you guys know me so well! The onesie from Alisha.... haha, I felt so exposed wearing it! I'll do a present recount at the end but much love! You guys are so awesome!
We basically all then plopped onto my couch and living room and proceeded to "watch" LoTR Two (but we basically skipped every part with Frodo and Sam, and then fast forwarded to the Battle at Helm's Deep). We then actually watched Wedding Crashers and then my mom and I took Katha, Doopy, Char, and Allison home while Alisha and Kathy stayed at home doing God knows what. jk jk, lol. Thanks for not burning my house down, hunnies!
So after I dropped off the others and came back (this was at around 7:15ish), Alisha, Kathy, and I sat around trying to watch HP4 (courtesy of Char) but ended up talking and having Kathy teach me the ways of conversation... haha.
After Alisha left at around 10pm *tear* Kathy stuck around till 12:15AM! We watched Across the Universe and chit chatted. Hahaha, she was the first person I shared my birthday with! Congratulations Kathy! Now next time, let's finish Across the Unvierse, eh eh? :))))
It was just such a relaxing time and I don't really know if I can call it a "party" because we all basically just relaxed and some of us even fell asleep! (*Kathy*) but I think that's what we all needed! A nice, relaxing break. :)
December 20, 2008 - FVAA/Carver/BSC Party at Mein Haus
December 20 was the actual day of mein birth, so I guess it had to be an extra special day! Or not? Well, the party didn't start till 5pm, so I didn't really know what to do till then so I still went to Spanish class that day! Haha, it's not really a chore though! I thoroughly enjoy going to Spanish and look forward to it every week!
I met Paul at the VPL at 1pm as per usje, and gave him his Chirstmas gift, a hot sauce set! Hehe. It had hot sauces from I think 7 different places in the world! It looked pretttty cool. Haha, well then. While in Downtown we picked up Renata and then went back to my place to prep for the party.
People started coming at about 5pm, and I think the first people to arrive were... Jose, Bebe, Malc, and Kevin. Lol, I still can't believe Kevin came. Seems a bit random but most certainly, welcome! Then all the others started trickling in like Bryce, Sonia, Leonard, Mark, and Jyoti! Haha, I can't believe she was the last person to get here!
I, much like the last party, didn't have anything planned. It's not that I don't like planning parties becase there was a degree of planning that went into the parties, it's just that for activities or whatever, I just like the party taking it's own course.
And that it did! We ended up playing this really fun game Jyoti played the day before at her friend's party called "Prom Date." In this game, there several groups of two and one winker. So the winker has to wink at one of the partners and then try to steal their prom date. But the other partner wants to keep their date, so they have to hold them back no matter what! It's a bit hard to explain but it was still REALLY fun! Haha. Loved it.
But yeah, that was pretty much the highlight of that party. I kind of felt it go worse for me at the end. I don't know how to explain it but I didn't really have as much fun as I should have after that. Je ne comprend pas. No comprendo. I just wasn't feeling it at all. Yup.
Ahhhh I've written so much for one night.... tommorow I'll continue with the last party! Which was the best one out of all of them!
