Surprise Party was a SUCCESS!!

Hiya!

For weeks now, my friends and I have been planning a surprise birthday party for our friend.

And it was a complete success! Through lying, hiding, sneaking around and awkward moments, we threw an amazing party which she had absolutely no clue about! :)

I've never thrown a party like this before, and it made me feel so grown up. There was so much organising that we had to do - we created a collage of photos which we had to stalk her for, bought food and decorations, baked a birthday cake, and even planned exactly how we were going to get her to come and how exactly we were going to surprise her. Which took a lot of hardcore pen-on-paper, drawing out a blueprint, and practising to perfect ;)

And we made her a present of 'open when...' cards, because she refused to accept gifts, although "cards were okay". We all wrote a few cards ourselves, and also did some group ones.

She'd better not cheat and open them at the wrong times!!

Strawberries and cream cake :)

On the day of the party, we set out the snacks and decorated the room with banners and balloons (we even hung them from the lights). We got cameras ready, got into our positions and when she arrived...we jumped out at her with party poppers!

It was fantastic.

And we spent the rest of the day dancing and singing like we were drunk, even though all we'd had was J2O...

It was so fun! And amazing, and awesome, and brilliant!

I love you

Plans for the Future (and Me, Earl and the Dying Girl)

Hiya!

Just a quick update here, to tell tales of my past week...

The most boring tales ever, that's for sure.

School has started, la-de-da.

I'm not saying schools been boring, it's just that apart from school nothing else has happened. And you don't want to read about school here, am I right?

Anyway, I'll probably get back to monthly favourites after a very very long Summer hiatus, and possibly attempt (and most likely fail at) writing a few posts about the wonderful things that I enjoy. Just for something different, rather than lacklustre update posts broken up by more lacklustre favourite posts.

So, moving on to the film.

I watched Me, Earl and the Dying Girl a few days ago (as you can tell from the title...). And now I feel obliged to write something about it, it's become a sort of tradition on here.

It was alright, I guess. Maybe I had high expectations, or maybe I've become numb to films (though I did cry in this one) but I found it just alright. It was very much like The Fault in Our Stars, in that there was the same theme of a dying person and their new friend, and the way the people's lives change due to the other. It may be bad timing or not, but it was a bit too similar.

And of course with TFIOS becoming such a big thing, this may have been a good thing- the first was a great success, the second should also be.

Personally though,

-well, you know what I'm going to say-

I thought it was alright.

I love you
