I hate waiting for the first people to arrive when I'm hosting a party
because obviously no one arrives at the time you say, but you have to have the place ready just in case, so you end up sitting around by yourself with your party dress on and your music playing, feeling like a massive loser and not wanting to start drinking in case you accidentally get smashed before they arrive.

Aww I'd arrive on time for you if you invited me. We could be losers together

haha thanks!
I usually try and persuade my best friend or sister to turn up early so we can pretend the party is already hip and happening by the time other people arrive.

Just start drinking, it's fine.

(PsychoChomp, Thu 27 May 2010, 11:53, Reply)

but if you're sitting by yourself waiting for something to happen
you'll end up drinking 8 times as quickly, and might pass out before they arrive, rendering you unable to open the door. Oh the calamity!

Is this pre party nerves already?
I quite like getting to parties early/on time, you get to have a chat and put your beer in the fridge before it's full.

I do get quite nervous before parties
although I have a co-host this time who'll be with me all afternoon making the cupcakes, so it won't be as bad. I always worry that no one will turn up, even though that's never happened and my parties are usually oversubscribed if anything because people who put 'maybe' on facebook realise they actually have nothing better to do and turn up anyway.

I'm still not coming by the way.
It'll be shit.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:02, Reply)

I fucking hate you.

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:08, Reply)

You're going to miss me on Saturday.

(PsychoChomp, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:14, Reply)

I'll put your facebook page up
so Applebite and I can pretend you're there, to try and lessen the pain.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:19, Reply)

haa, that's pretty scary.
Are you going to make mango cup cakes like I said?
(PsychoChomp, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:20, Reply)

Er....
I forgot about them to be honest. Maybe.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:36, Reply)

I'M GLAD I'M NOT COMING NOW

(PsychoChomp, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:39, Reply)

ME TOO

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:40, Reply)

I WAS GOING TO INVITE YOU TO MY HOUSEWARMING THAT YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE COME TO BUT NOW I WONT.

(PsychoChomp, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:43, Reply)

I would have made you mango cupcakes
as a housewarming present.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 27 May 2010, 13:39, Reply)

cupcake parties sound awesome
are they American cupcakes or British ones? Style of cooking I mean (I know you make them)
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:02, Reply)

American style,
big cakes with lots of frosting piped on top, not like the little British fairy cakes with icing on them.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:08, Reply)

They sound delicious, enjoy :)

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:10, Reply)

I'm usually the first person to turn up
So have a brief chat before an awkward silence, then you say "I'm just going to see to the nibbles" and walk away.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 27 May 2010, 11:54, Reply)

but isn't that more awkward
that you're in someone's house, about three feet away from them, not talking?
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 27 May 2010, 11:57, Reply)

Yep....
Admittedly, this doesn't happen now as I only go to parties run by good mates.
only go to parties run by good mates. never get invited to parties.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 27 May 2010, 11:58, Reply)

You can come to my party if you like
there will be cupcakes. I don't know where you live so it may or may not be really far.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:02, Reply)

Is it tonight? I'm busy, but thanks for the offer!
And I get the impression you're up in Manchester, or that way-ish? So that's 2-2.5 hours drive away.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:03, Reply)

It is Manchester
but it's on Saturday.

Who parties on a Thursday night? I'm not as young as I was y'know.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:07, Reply)

I'm also busy Saturday
Crazy socialite that I am (have some friends up from 'darn sarth'). Thanks for the sympathy invite though! Makes me feel better than Psychochomp, who didn't even get one of those.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:08, Reply)

he keeps inviting himself just so he can decline
I appreciate the effort he's putting in to try and burn me though
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:10, Reply)

I didn't read burn there
gave it a whole new meaning
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:12, Reply)

the 'r' close to the 'n' does make it look like an 'm'

also true. He does want to bum me. But only angrily, not lovingly.

Ahh, spite fucking...
Gets the job done.

anal tearing?
That's a job now?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 27 May 2010, 12:21, Reply)

Yeah, but it doesn't pay well
Shit benefits.
