Party Thread!
Hello, come in. Let me take your coat. This is my virtual Birthday Party thread and you are all welcome (no fighting allowed *Looks meaningfully in certain directions!*) Come inside,have a drink and help yourself to the virtual nibbles...the digital vol-au-vents come with especial recommendation. The big day when I reach the 28 year mark is actually tomorrow (26th) but I am offline most of the day!
Well I can't believe a decade has passed since my eighteenth when I was thrown in the boot of a car on my way back from the boozer and taken to my suprise party. Around that time we went to the Reading Festival and Greenday headlined the Saturday. Then a few weeks after our return I moved to student halls in SW1 (to study zoology) and spent the year making lots of friends, studying (sporadically) and yes, getting wasted.
Well , I am going to the Reading Festival tommorrow and Greenday are headlining the Sunday! Then I move into halls in SE1 (to study Theology) and hopefully will spend the year with lots of friends, studying (hard) but not getting wasted! Some things change, some things never do!
In the ten year interim, I found God, graduated (just), fell in love, bought a house, embarked on a fantastic career, visited seven of the united states and about a dozen other countries (at 18 I had never been on a plane!). I've learned how to cook and put on a stone and a half in weight. That's about it really. If I manage to produce further decades like that then by the time I am 48 I will weigh thirteen and a half stone (argh!)!!
Anyway, here, have another drink, and please try the cheese straws...I made them myself, oh and do mingle with the other guests
