Birthday Celebration

[x-aerial.livejournal.com]

I would like to invite all of you to celebrate my exit from being a teenager and my entrance into being a young woman in her twenties. I know that this is a bit of a late notice, and some or all of you may already have other plans, but if you are interested in attending, please let me know.

On the evening of Friday the 8th of February, a private jet will be arriving in New York. If you wish to attend, prepare for a long flight, time-zone change, and be sure to bring your passport.

(Also, yes, everyone who is invited is of the legal age to drink alcoholic beverages where we will be going.)

You have to go. I'll find you a back-up.

Marie's offered, but why do I have to go? No offence, Crystal, I'm happy to go to your birthday party, but since when was this sort of thing compulsory, Ange?

...because it's a friend's birthday party?

And again, no issues with that. Just don't appreciate the 'have to' tone. Especially when I've been sort of snowed under with work, between the three projects I've got on the go, plus whatever Wanda, Remy or Pete might throw at me. I do the best I can, Ange, no need for the directives.

Fine - sorry I said anything. Do what you want.

Perhaps he simply wants you to have a bit of fun? I am certain that he did not mean to imply that you are required to attend my party. Maybe "You should go" might have been a better way to phrase it, or even "I'd like for you to go," but I do not believe he meant any harm.

Thanks for the insight. I get it, I'm being cranky.

For what it's worth, yes, I'd like to come to your birthday, especially now Marie's offered to take the kids for me. Although I have no idea what sort of present to get a Princess of Attilan. ;)

Yes, that's a joke. I do that, make jokes.
