Well i should do an up to date update including party stuff.
Well, from the top. Steve came down on Monday, which was cool, we had a bit of a catch up, some food and went out to play some pool with Mat and Si, which was fun as it always in, and it was nice having Steve down for a trip to the norwood. I played against Steve and i didnt completely get massacred which was awesome :)
We went to get some deep pan pizza afterwards, which is the definition of gorgeous pizza. yum yum yum. Then Steve and I ended up back here, and got some sleep, well i didnt really, for some reason i had trouble sleeping, and when i finally got to sleep, i apparently couldnt be woken by steve who was woken up by my hamster in his room lol.
Tuesday was really hetic. Steve and I got the bus into town, on the way we rang Vic, and had a chat to her which is nice, as i miss her :( I dropped Steve off to get his hair cut and coloured, and whilst he was doing that, i went for coffee with Chris. On the way to the coffee place, I spotted the most gorgeous dress in the window of dorothy perkins, and just had to buy it for the party.
We had some coffee, went and got a box of 30 star covered ballons with a little tank of hellium, which was pretty good. It saved us alot of faffing. We departed ways, and I was left with the massive box of ballons, so as I was walking back up through town, I thought i'd chance checking to see if anyone was about at the two pigs, so I could leave the box there, for later on. Luckily I just caught one of the guys who works there leaving, and he let me leave them there. Which was really handy. I met up with Steve after he had his hair done, got the bus home, and sorted everything as best i could out.
Dad went out and got us some chinese, which was yummy, but i hadnt eaten much at all that day, as i didnt really have the time or money in town to eat properly.
I rushed around to get ready, as Steve seemed to be ready in no time at all, which was most unusual :P I was so stressed out getting ready, its just because i felt like there was no time, and my parents weren't in the best of moods and it was stressing me out more.
Anyway, we got to the pigs, with Chris and Stu was waiting there to be let in as he was djing the early part of the night until Ol showed up. He helped us with the tying ballons everywhere randomly.
Soon, people were showing up, first people to arrive were lee and a couple of his friends, along with Barker, Chiman and Alan. Then pretty soon the place began filling up with people, Marian, Benji, Mat, Simon, my brother Nick and his friend Nick, then chris's family. It was awesome, at one point how many people had showed up. Jasmine came along with Jan, and later on Cynthia showed up with James, it was lovely to see Cynthia again and I introduced her to Jaz.
I lost count of how many people came up and talked to me, hugged me and said happy birthday, it was really odd to be the centre of attention.
I had a couple of free drinks from Carl, the guy who owns the two pigs with Vicki, which was nice of him. And then after that people kept buying me drinks, especialy my brother, at one point i was forever wandering around with two drinks in my hand.
I was pleased with how many people showed up, it was nice. I had a really good time apart from my brother. My brother was wasted before he even got there and was being very embarrasing, he declared chris as my only decent friend, and how he really liked him, and then continued with being embarrasing, he walked into posts, danced like an idiot to franz ferdinand, and kelly clarkson's 'since you've been gone', he knocked over drinks, begged Jasmine for a dance, and when he was sat opposite me yelled 'REBECCA YOUR BOOBS ARE HANGING OUT!!' *holds head in hands* I despaired of him most of the night, as many friends were coming up to me and going 'your brothers off his face', 'your brother's insane', 'hey do you know what your brother just did?'. Lol looking back at it its still embarrasing, but at the same time, i can see he was amusing, and I guess now he has a job and daisy, that he doesnt really get time to party hard anymore, so it was all cool.
At about 10:30ish, i started feeling awful, I wasnt drunk really, my stomach was just all squishy and getting really painful, because i hadnt eaten much that day to sustain my constant 1/2 drinks in hand, drinking. It was really painful, and i didnt think it helped that i was wearing bridget jones underwear under my dress, or that i was starting to get girlie pains. Bah. I made it til 12, when I really had to go, because everytime someone came and hugged me, or talked to me i just wanted to get away because i felt like puking on their shoes or over their shoulder. Im sorry to everyone i didnt say goodbye to, but it was really urgent my leaving, i just needed to lie down, and either get home and puke or drink lots of water and feel better. There was no way that if i could have stayed til the end that i would have gone home, as I had so much fun. It was fucking awesome.
Mat took me home, as I couldnt bare to drag Steve away from my party, he looked like he was having such a good time, and he doesnt get to see everyone down here very often, I just couldnt make him leave with me. So unfortunately for Mat he got that job. I hope he didnt mind. All the way back in the taxi i had to fight not to throw up, it was awful.
I felt sooo much better when I got to lie down, i had some water and i felt fine and thankfully the sick bowl dad left out for me, was not needed at all. :)
Steve got back, and, we all had a natter for a little bit until we were all too tired and had to sleep.
Well thats it more or less it. I have since learnt that my brother invited my friend Neil back to his house for more booze and a smoke, and he apparently went :S Well i just hope that my brother was behaving in a less embarrasing way.
So yeah my party was awesome, im appreciative to everyone who came, and my friends who djed, Stu and Olly, who both did a fantastic job. And im really touched by the cards i got from Steve, Nick (my friend not my brother) and Biggsy's sister Rachel. She gave me £10, and i felt so bad because i dont see her that much, and she really didnt have to do that. Steve also gave me a HMV voucher, which i also feel bad about because, I dont like my friends getting me things, their friendship is enough really.
Nick put the lovilest thing in the card he gave me, it really touched me. 'to a fantastic girl who always brings a smile to our faces' :) aww. bless his wee cotton socks, i need to ring him and thank him for coming, as I didnt get a chance to with my swift exit.
Okay well thats enough of that.
