The monster´s awesome birthday party

Though my birthday was a few weeks ago, I decided to celebrate it yesterday for various logistical reasons (like, I didn´t want it to crash with [livejournal.com profile] aj_stalin´s mom´s birthday and I was in Amsterdam and so forth...). I decided to host a cocktail party mostly because I wanted to see all my friends dressed up in pretty dresses and suits and drink good drinks rather than beer. As it turns out, all my friends consider the liquor of all times to be rum. 6 of the guests brought their own bottle of it, and hardly anyone brought anything else (um, or I think there was some gin and whisky around, but compared to the amount of rum consumed it was nothing). Almost everyone showed up in short, gorgeous dresses or suits (and the ones who didn´t at least wore ties, so I´m not complaining) and best of all: though the setting was a cocktail party, the atmosphere was neither stuck up nor boring. And so many people showed up that I at one point actually had to leave my own party to get some fresh air because there were just too many people in our rather smallish apartment. People sang birthday songs for me 5 times and I got a lot of nice pressies.

All in all, a very good birthday party.

(Today I´m hiding out at the boyfriend´s because the apartment is completely trashed and I´m too hung over to do anything about it. My patient and nice flatmate [livejournal.com profile] 45hasle will probably forgive me)

That sounds great, happy birthday!

I would not have guessed rum. Odd. Anyway, if I ever come to your party I'll bring whiskey.

Well, then you must come. Hop on a plane and come to Norway.

mmm...I love whisky.

You presume too much. I've yet to get so far in the cleaning process that I can dispense with wearing shoes indoors...
On the plus side, the dishwashing part won't be all that bad, seing as most our glasses are now spread thinly across the floor.

I was thinking it might be about time to go back to IKEA (place of doom) and buy more glasses.

Sounds like a good and proper way to celebrate your birth. I always enjoy a party with rum involved.
