I'm a loser/And I'm not what I appear to be
My 21st birthday is this Thursday and I have no higher aspirations than to eat banoffee pie and have Happy Birthday sung to me by my family like they do every year.
BUT some JC friends are insistent upon coming down to celebrate with me by having dinner and then loads of drinks, sleeping over, and returning to campus the next morning. It might seem rude for me to say this, but I don't want that. They've asked me to secure sleeping spots for them, pick out places where we can dine and a few other places where we can drink and party, and lastly find some place for breakfast in the morning before they leave off again. Does it sound ungrateful for me to say that all this running around for the sake of drunkenness sounds like it would be much more enjoyable if I didn't have to plan it all? Honestly all I want is dinner and maybe one drink ( a margarita, b/c that is a very celebratory-sounding drink indeed). No fuss, and certainly no hostess pressures. My friends are great, but sometimes I feel like they don't know me at all.
