This one was just pulled off by me
Brief explanation of events beforehand here: just before Christmas, my boyf went away to New Zealand for a month on some scout expedition thing, unfortunately timed as I was just weaning myself off of my antidepressants after all that stuff in the news about them. So, understandably, I was somewhat miserable. On to the story.
I went to a party last Saturday at my mate's house, didn't know what the purpose of it was but didn't question it, after all, it's a party! This guy's pretty prone to throwing random parties anyway. I assumed from the birthday cards dotted round the house that it was for his brother's birthday, although none of his mates were there.
Odd thing was, people seemed to be falling head over heels to keep me entertained, getting me drinks and stuff and forcing me to dance. Also, a couple of people said something about "yeah, I thought it was a great idea to have a party for you". Assumed they were joking, of course, as they were very, very drunk indeed.
Fast forward to today, talking to a friend on MSN. She just apologised for not being able to to make it to my party on saturday. Confused, I replied that I hadn't had a party. Then the penny dropped, bless them, my friends had actually thrown a party in my honour in order to cheer me up! Yay! Don't think I'm going to live that blonde moment down now though *spangs forehead*
