Yay! I needn't have worried about my party, it was pretty damned awesome. People arrived and some even gave me amazing presents! So good! Thank-you to all those who came, you made the night for me with your presence.
I was really nervous about singing, but I was reassured by several people that they already knew I was good, and also, so what if I wasn't so good on the night, everyone there already loves me and thinks I am fabulous! As it was I have been told that I was very good! Zephfi gave me my favourite compliment by saying that my singing was like "liquid chocolate". Which we should all know is delicious. My Dad used his digital camera to make a little movie of me performing and he's put it on CD. If I can figure out how, I'll try and get it online so that people who weren't there can judge for themselves. I haven't seen it yet and hopefully, in the cold light of day and poor quality of recording I still soud good. Dad says that you can't see much tho because it was pretty dark.
Other things that made me happy was that I felt really beautiful last night. Going to see Grishma and getting my legs and eyebrows done and giving myself a face mask on Tuesday were good. Also the exercise that I've done in the month leading up the Birthday made me feel good and that I looked good. Also having a shower and washing and blow-drying my hair made me feel good. Also going to the BodyShop and getting a new foundation and loose powder with applicating brushes made me feel good. I'm really happy I decided to pay the extra money and get the powder and the brushes. It was worth it and also I like the matte look that you get with powder. Sass's dress combined with my hair made me feel diva-beautiful and other people told me I looked great too.
I had such a good time, I felt like I was smiling all night (except I realise that smile was pretty nervous looking in the 20min leading to the song).
I don't really no idea what else to write as all I can do is gush about how great a time I had and how happy it made me.
Please comment, either saying somehting that you remembered and enjoyed from the night, or how sad you are you couldn't go ;)
Well done on hosting and performing at your birthday party of awesomeness. You looked fantastic and the singing surpassed even my already high regard for your singing prowess.
We had the heap'n big fun - kewl folk to chat with, delicious drinkies. A fantastic way to celebrate your 25 years in the world and also the beginning of a 5 day holiday.
Oh, and your T-shirt is coming...
PS Matt really enjoyed drawing and writing in your birthday book. :-)
Posted by: Debbie and Matt at March 25, 2005 03:05 PMIt was really cool! I loved the venue, kinda personal and intimate. Having the band made it a really classy ocassion, and your singing was really very excellent! So classy in fact, that me, with my denim shorts and t-shirt made me wish i'd dressed up a little more.
You looked fantastic, and no expense should be spared (like you say) for celebrating your quarter-life birthday!
Posted by: Nick P at March 25, 2005 03:44 PMI WISH I could have been there... it sounds wickedamazing.
I will demand a solo performance next time I am in the same room as you (so you'd better not meet me at the airport!)
Glad you had a lovely time. I sent you a card but it may be late in the easter madness.
Loves!
Posted by: phreq at March 25, 2005 05:51 PMI'm with Phreq in the "I wish I could have been there" boat. It sounded very cool! Very selfish of you not to rearrange it all and have it in August when I get back! ;) Glad you had fun, look forward to seeing you sing soon, hugs
Posted by: tia at March 25, 2005 06:25 PMAll was wonderful and awesome - it was a great evening. You did look beautiful - very elegant in the dress, which I think you should permanently steal from Sass. Also the singing was great - I expected you to be good, but maybe have some nerves - if you did, they weren't audible. Brilliant song too :). I liked writing in your book although I now don't remember what I wrote. That's partly because I also really enjoyed drinking red wines with Regs :). Thanks for arranging such a fabulous time!
Posted by: Rachel at March 25, 2005 10:20 PMPotos! Show us the Potos of you with the pretty on!
I wish I coulda gone. Don't worry, I'll be there at your *next* 25th birthday party!
Posted by: morgue at March 25, 2005 11:36 PMIt was a wonderful party! You have a great group of friends, the venue was nice, the band rocked and you were so brave to get up and sing. Well done!
I got so very tipsy too ... oops!! More fun!! And you liked your present! Yay!
Happy great birthday!!
Sooo.. what did you sing???? :)
Yes, I am terribly sad:(
But I now have your address, so I may wind up on your door step sometime;)
I'm glad you had a great time:)

Many many many apologies for missing the birthday.
You gave plenty of warning, and I even had time availiable, I just managed to completely forget :(
Still, sounds like you had a great time!
Pictures, pictures pictures!
Cheers

Hey there had a great time (for the short time I was actually there), left and spent an hour in the dark and rain waiting to get my take away Chow and catching a taxi home. Sorry I missed hearing you sing.
Posted by: Scott at March 30, 2005 08:26 AMYou know, I just realised that I hadn't written about this night! I loved it, it was great to talk to people about things, that I never usually get to talk about (Regan is funny) and also, mmmm Liquid Marsbar! So nice. I loved your dress... it reminded me of one that I have in my wardrobe (that Elvis is currently sitting on... Bad Cat!) and I loved your song, and had it stuck in my head for the next week! Will have to go do*cough*d it soon.
Ps, hope you haven't eaten my chocolates! Will come get them on Sunday!
