let the embarrassment ensue.

my city party

last friday i threw a city themed party for my 22nd birthday. borrowed a friend’s lights and strung bright white lights around the apartment.

__________

Tina’s 22nd City Livin’ the High Life Pursuit of Happiness Cool Party like in the beginning of the movie Cloverfield Party (formerly known as Urban Chicago Party)

if you are reading this then it means that you are one of the few who have been selected to attend a swanky 22nd city party! I mean literally, this place will be swathed in swank, so much that Oscar award winning actress Hilary will want to come to see if it is her family reunion (please see me if you do not understand this highly thought out joke). I wouldnt be surprised if ja rule came to this party!!

please do come and enjoy selected musics, tasty treats, cocktails, and intellectual conversation (yes, a detailed debate over how the clinton administration handled the lewinsky scandal improperly and the ramifications of this will be discussed!!!!)

dress code: it is a city party, so please dress coolly like if you were like…going to a party that drake was going to be at. He’s gonna know way too many people at this party that he didn’t know last year so you might want to dress nicely. Think bright lights, city, night on the town, Chicago. WE ARE YOUNG AND GOODLOOKING. Not like if you were going to school or going to see Bruno mars. Note: Please no provocative bosoms (unless you have a medical condition that requires a need for ample oxygen to the breast area, this is excusable).

some activities that occurred:

-pin the lips on monica lewinsky (note: the likeness of the posters of monica lewinsky was uncanny. she was portrayed in her infamous blue dress—high forehead and thready banged hair also in appearance)

-crappy round of karaoke in which john mayer’s ‘you and i’ was brutally destroyed and caused the death of at least one listening dog nearby

-charades where phrases such as ‘lewis and clarke’ were somehow guessed correctly by my very excited friends (this was an improvement from halloween’s poe party where ‘barack obama’ could not successfully be guessed)

-enjoy a smorgasbord of wine, chips, dips, cheese doodles, macaroons, and blueberry pies

all in all, it was wonderful. though the birthday magic is gone, it has given me time to reflect. this time next year, how will i spend my birthday? this will be the last time for a while that i will be able to experience something like this…i must say that i will remember the warmth and fondness i will always have for my friends.
