The 30th Sundrop

[tangledintower]

So...what exactly does one do at a birthday party, anyway? How does one go about throwing it?

I mean, I know that my birthday isn't until the 21st, but it's my first birthday party and I want to do it right, so that everybody has a good time. I just don't know what to do!

Pascal was surprisingly not very helpful. And he usually knows everything! But he's at a loss too...I wonder if he's ever had a birthday party. He doesn't know what day his birthday is, so he and I usually celebrate our birthday's together!

Oooh, I wonder if I should throw him a birthday party too! I should ask him if he wants one!

...I'm talking too much again, aren't I? Oh well. So, like I tried to say, birthday parties! I don't know how to plan or throw one. What do I do?

I've never had a birthday party either. If you figure out how it works, you should let people know! Or write a pamphlet about it, or something!

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

You haven't had one either? Oh thanks goodness, I thought that Pascal and I were the only ones...

We could figure it out together, and then write a pamphlet. I've never written a pamphlet before.

I'm pretty sure there's supposed to be cake. That sounds fairly important.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I've heard that. But what kind of cake? And how much cake?

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

It depends how many people are coming. How much cake can people eat in one sitting? Like, half a cake each?

You've never had a birthday before?

No, I've had a birthday before. I've just never had a birthday party before.

Oh, well that should be easy enough to fix.

I can offer suggestions if you want help.

Wow, really? Thank you very much!

So...What DO you do at a birthday party?

[lookjustlike]

You need to have a cake! That's the most important thing. I mean, besides inviting all your friends.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know how to make cake! I can do that!

And of course I'm going to invite all my friends. I...actually have a lot of friends here. It's sort of weird to think of me having more than one or two friends, but there it is.

[lookjustlike]

And you're supposed to put candles on it.

I'm glad you have a lot of friends now. I mean, just having a few really good friends is the important thing, but it's always nice to have more.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I think all my friends are important. I want to be close to all of them, but I know that's hard. I've learned so much since I got here!

Candles? Why?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Well, it's a day about you, so I think you should do whatever you wanna do. There aren't really any rules. Or at least, there shouldn't be.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

But are there guidelines or general things you do no matter who's party it is?

I'm sorry, I've never done this before...

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

I dunno. Some people might say there's guidelines or whatever, but the way I see it you should just do what makes you happy.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I like the way you think. Thanks, Neil!

Are you going to come to my birthday party? Once I figure out what to do, I mean.

[starfollowing.livejournal.com]

The number one necessary is having a great time. And cake. And gifts. They all tie in the number one spot.

And if you've never had a birthday party? You really need to go all out! Invite everyone! Have a blast!

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Can I really invite everybody?

[starfollowing.livejournal.com]

Uhh, well... yeah! Why not? Can't you just announce it on this thing? 'm sure I've seen people do it before.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I could try that...I can do that, yes?

[dorkways.livejournal.com]

Cake! And music and decorations!

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oooh...what sort of music? I can do cake and decorations!

[dorkways.livejournal.com]

The kind people can dance to! My buddy makes awesome mixes, I could ask him if you want!

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Wow, really? Thank you so much, that would be great!
