Partay

I love party planning. This is where my perfectionist and overthinking ways come in handy. So let’s go through the many steps of preparing for a party, shall we?

            Guest list. I want to invite my close friends, but I also need to branch out. Maybe invite friends of my friends. Those are the best nights, anyway. Hanging out with new people, making new memories. It started out small.. like eight people. Then it ballooned into more than twenty people. But that’s awesome; I haven’t had a big party in a long time.

            Food. One of my favorite parts. I love baking. Notice I said baking, not cooking. Don’t get me wrong; I love to cook too. I’m just better at baking. This is where I love Pinterest to death. It helps me find a huge variety of festive food, that’s somewhat easy to make. I love to eat, too. But the decorating of the cakes and cookies and dips is so fun.

            Decorations. Oh my God, the pure joy I get from shopping for and setting up decorations. I will literally diagram where each decoration goes. Weird, I know. But hey, guess who ends up having a kick ass party? Moi.

            Music. Now I listen to old stuff. You know, 105.7.. classics from the sixties, seventies, and eighties. So I’m not the best at picking playlists for parties, because I don’t listen to what’s popular nowadays. If you asked me to name three of the biggest hits of today, I couldn’t tell ya. This is why I have Hunter make my playlist for me, and with his phone too. I don’t even own cool music.

            Since this is a Halloween party, and more specifically a costume party, that’s just as important as the rest. As the hostess, I have to look good. I decided to be a biker chick. I already have the black leggings, black leather boots, black leather jacket, and I’ll borrow one of my mom’s cool shirts. This way, I can dance and chill. It’s a pretty comfortable outfit. Since it’s also an everyday look, I can go all out on hair and makeup. Dark eye makeup, fake eyelashes, teased, sexy hair.. it’s going to be great.

            I do hope this party is cool, though. I’m not sure if my definition of party is still what’s in. Movie? Dancing? Truth or Dare? Maybe all three.
