the 2 parties

my party took place in a pub. i rarely go there but it's where i celebrated my birthday last year. the guys behind the bar remembered and that apparently got me my first (out of 3) glass of champagne. luckily, someone broke one of them - i was driving and i seriously needed not to drink alcohol. it was really great to see everyone there - some people i really hadn't seen in ages, and it made me want to organise more stuff. the question is just when to fit that into my crazy life! 

the few people who were still there at 11.30 left, at which point i made my way to guy 1's party, which was at his place. and it was packed with people. he was ever so slightly drunk, which was quite funny. he was talking to a group when i arrived so i made my way to the kitchen, where he'd said the rest of the improv people were. i guess i could have made an effort to get to know his other friends but we'd seen each other the previous evening and i'd just spent most of my party trying to catch up with people whom i hadn't seen in ages so i don't think i was a priority just then, even if he did seem happy to see me. i found the others and we played improv games for a couple of hours, after which we and 4 others were basically the only people left so we all just talked in the kitchen until i decided that 2.45 was a respectable time to go home.
