Sun on my back...
Remember that paranoia I've got about money/travelling/basically everything?
Well, it applies to birthday parties, too. Hence, my list-of-things-I-need.
- Food
(Crisps, sweets, cake, cucumber-and-carrot-things, popcorn, chocolate, mini sausages (?), etc.)
- Booze
(Malibu, Strongbow, Stella, Carlsberg, wine (God knows what - not really my area), J20, Coke, Pepsi, Sprite).
- Football table
(We've got a mini one in the attic.)
- Decent playlist and sound system (my go-to friend who's a technical genius has said he's not coming. ARGH. I may have to resort to a very loud i-pod in a hub.)
- Decoration(?)
I WAS NOT BUILT FOR CASUAL GET-TOGETHERS. Am silently panicking already, and the party's not until next Saturday. It's not even my actual birthday yet.
It's not helped by mum nagging me about it mercilessly and generally making things more complicated than they are.
ARGH.
On the plus side, have fallen in love with yet another Shane Mack song; I Like That, which is strangely appropriate to my very content mood over the past few days, thanks to the sunshine. I'm planning a picnic at lunchtime on Monday, complete with birthday cake, but sod's law dictates that it must rain. I'm convinced it will.
Right. Back to organising. This sound system is really starting to worry me.
