Party Time!
The Gemini Wonder Twins Birthday Bash is tonight! I am a ball of excitement and fear. We pretty much have everything together except for a few odds and ends that we'll be picking up at Wal-Mart this afternoon. Getting everything has been a lot costlier than I expected, though, so it looks like we're going to be rent fucked for throwing this party. I think I went a bit overkill wanting to make sure there was enough of everything for everyone. We'll be taking donations at the party but since most of our friends are as poor as we are I'm not expecting that to reimburse us much. If I do something like this again it will have to be planned and budgeted for a lot better. It's still going to be great, but there's a couple dozen things I could have done to pull it off more smoothly and less painfully. Live and learn, I guess. This is my first time doing anything this big so mistakes are bound to be made. Hopefully I'll do better next time.
Hopefully. I feel kind of like I look like an ass now for throwing a party that I can't really afford. Honestly maybe we should have called off the whole thing when Frolicon anally violated our finances and the monetary ramifications of Debra going back to school jabbed a thorny branch into our urethra. That would have been the sensible thing to do. I just didn't want to give up hope and as I've said before when it comes down to it I've got shit I can sell if I can't make ends meet at the end of the month. Call it luck, perseverance or good karma...I always bounce back, whatever happens.
Other than the financial issues, though, I'm not seeing any reason this won't be a party of epic awesomeness. There should be plenty of everything for everyone. There doesn't look like there will be any shortage of awesome people attending. Most of my favorite people who don't live several hundred miles away will be there. This will probably be the highlight of my year, having so many people I enjoy the company of in one place. It's something of an extravagant birthday present to [and myself, but the memories we make tonight will likely be well worth the indulgence. I have faith that all will work out in the end.
