They've all, without exception, been very enjoyable. Not going to lie, whilst at said 21st, I've been thinking about my own and how I would like it to be. But more on that later.
Its always really interesting to see how the birthday person acts when they are surrounded by all of his/her friends. Do they conduct themselves in the same way as they do when they're with you? How important are you compared to the birthday person's other friends? They're always really amusing questions that I feel is worth noticing at birthdays.
I mean, shit, don't be a pyscho and do that all night (like me); by all means be normal (like everyone else) and actually socialise.
But you know, if you get bored. (lol)
At all the birthdays I've been to this year, especially the 21st, its been really interesting to see how your friends are perceived. The speeches, in particular are a insight into their lives. A lot of things, just never comes up in conversations.
Seriously, I don't know what my friends did before they met me. DID THEY EVEN BREATHE AIR BEFORE THEY MET ME?
The speeches are given by close friends or family that know the birthday person the most. So, logically their judgement of character should most accurate right?
A few times now, my own perceptions of the birthday person has been challenged. If I gave a speech, it would have been a lot different. Which makes you doubt, how much you know a person; going further, it makes you doubt how much you know people in general.
Don't get me wrong, it shouldn't change your friendship in anyway.
And then there's those 21st, which I don't go to. (At the risk of sounding like an ungrateful brat,) Seriously, if I haven't talked to you in like a year AND we weren't all that close to begin with, why the hell would you invite me? I mean, neither of us are going to have a good team if I went. If I went, I'd be bored and you wouldn't even notice that I was there.
OK, technically that last statement might be false. You might notice that I'm then. What are we going to talk about? The past year? Birthdays aren't exactly the best place to catch up at. I mean as host, you need to see all your guests and have fun at the same time. NO TIME FOR ALL DAT SMALL TALK MANG.
Then there's those who don't invite you to their 21st and you're all like :( about it. Thankfully this hasn't happen to me (yet.) But if it did, it sure as hell doesn't mean I'm going to be petty and go "Nope, you didn't invite me to yours, I'm not going to invite you to mine." I mean if you're friends with someone you should invite them to your birthday. End of story.
