Polexia thats so nice of your friend. Its always nice when you get something that bit more personal.
My birthday this year was ace. A few months before my mom asked if I wanted a party (cause it was to be my 18th) and I said nah cause I don't really like a lot of attention. So anyway she asked closer to the time and someone pointed out if I do I'll have lots of presents, which did tempt me to do it so I told my mom. She later said all the places were booked so I was like "ah okay then, no worries"
So anyway my birthday was on the Monday, which is the day that I dont start college until 2. So I got a lie-in which is always nice. Got a lift up to college with my friend and when I got there I met some of my friends and it was just nice getting presents and such. In English (my one of two lessons that day) we were researching. Some people had gone to the library but I stayed in the classroom with others. Someone said "Im bored, I think we should all sing" then a bit later, after no singing someone said to him "I thought you were singing?" and he said "Yeah but I can't think what." So I said "Could sing me happy birthday" and they were like "Its your birthday?" so I nodded and they sang me happy birthday 😀
Anyway on the bus home I had such fun cause during the day I was given a box of celebrations and some mini-sparklers, so we ate and lit the sparklers, it was fun.
That Friday we got paid at work and we broke up from college, and that night we went out with people from work to celebrate my birthday. Took £30 with me, came back with £35 cause everyone paid for everything. I got just a little bit drunk but I had loads of fun, it was so nice. Plus a lot of people were there. Oh and during the night I saw someone from college and I told him we were celebrating my birthday and he said "Oh you have a party tomorrow don't you" and I was like "Sshh, its meant to be a surprise party." I had my suspicions prior to it so I wasn't too fussed. Told one girl who was there he had told me (cause she knew him) and she got angry but I told her it was fine. Didn't tell anyone else that I knew.
The next day I was a bit hungover but trundled on. After work cause I knew about my party I hid some CDs in my dad's car (cause I knew who would be DJing so I could take over) and dressed down. The lie my parents came up with is I was going to my friend's gig, so when my mom said "Is that what your wearing" I said "Yeah, its only a gig" but changed after they left.
The party itself was really good, I had lots of fun. There were people there I didn't think would come, and people I didn't know (family friends and the like). I did all the silly dances (Cha Cha Slide, Oops Upside Your Head) and had such fun just being loved. I later found out that everyone from work was let out early to come to my party, I felt so honoured. So yeah this year's kicked ass.
