Happy Birthday Chase

Life moves by quickly, but from the start of life to the end there are a special days where you celebrate the day of your birth. There are also particular birthdays that you show more special interest to than others. Some of which being, when you finally become a teenager, turning sixteen so you're finally able to drive, turning eighteen signifies you as an adult, turning twenty-one means you can buy alcohol, and if you're lucky enough turning a hundred means you've lived to be just plain old. Turning twenty-one may, to some people, be the greatest of days. My friend Chase turned twenty-one this year, and we may have thrown him the greatest party he'll ever have.
The day was June 25, 2005, it was so hot outside, and the humidity was off the chart. June 25 just also happened to be my good friend Chase's birthday. My friends Matt, Houston, Mike, Mike, and I were throwing him a surprise party at Matt's house, and he had no idea. We had been waiting for this for a few weeks now, and had everything perfectly planned out. He was turning the big twenty-one so this was a big day for him, and he was extremely excited about it. He talked about nothing but buying alcohol and beer for himself for the past month at least.
You could smell the party in the air, there were hot dogs and hamburgers cooking on the grill, and there had also been the smell of beer coming off the keg-taps. The feeling of good-times was all around you, as there were at least forty to fifty close friends together. Some I knew better than others, but in all, everybody seemed to be having an awesome time none the less. We all came together to celebrate for someone we all knew and loved, that's all that mattered.
Everybody's anticipation grew, as we ate, drank, and were merry waiting on Chase's arrival. Some people were having better times than others. You could tell who these people were by how loud they were being, which pretty much meant that the louder people

    American Author Zane Gray once stated “I hate birthdays.” Perhaps he said this because he has had a bad experience with birthdays. Maybe he simply doesn’t like celebrating something as frivolous as a birthday. Personally, I concur with Mr. Gray’s statement, I too, hate birthdays. Even though the vast majority of the population enjoy their birthday and most likely consider it their favorite holiday, birthdays do not appeal to me however because of, my past natal day experiences, the annoyance of the annual overhyped celebrations, and my fear of being disappointed again.…

    The most important day of my life had just happened recently this year. The word graduation means more than a ceremony for me. It means changes in my life, to reach a higher stage of my life, the time to become a new person, the time to grow up, time to follow my dreams and separate responsibilities from fun. We have fought the fight, and we have overcome, and we took our final walk in the old stomping grounds. With the help of generous contributions from local companies and the hard work of the students made Graduation at Ramsey Field a reality.…

    14th Birthday

    • 554 Words
    • 3 Pages

    This was my 14th birthday party. I invited about eleven of my friends from school. INVITATIONS: The invitations were star shaped pieces of cardboard (that I had cut out) painted gold, and with each guests name on the one side, and the details on the other. It said: Dear... You have made the A-list for Hollywood's most extravagant events- A.R's 14th Birthday Celebrations. Be prepared for a red-carpet walk and paparazzi, so dress like the celebrity you are! Plus the times and all. DECORATIONS: Along the driveway there was a red strip of material as our red carpet, and my mum and her friends all took photos as my guests walked along it. One even had a notepad and asked for everyone's autograph. When they had made their way up the red carpet they were greeted by my dad at the front door. He was dressed in a black suit and had dark sunglasses. He asked them for their name, and then allowed them individually in. There were gold, black and silver helium balloons hanging from the ceilings of the hallways and streamers hung as a door to keep people from entering places like the kitchen and bedrooms. We had signs labeling all of the areas. The lounge where there was a karaoke machine was labeled the 'Lobby Lounge' and the patio was the 'V.I.P. Club'. We had fairy lights wrapped around the palm trees outside, and lounge furniture for people to sit on. ACTIVITIES: We all got a chance to paint our hand and press it down on our own personalized stars on the walk of fame (hallway). We sang karaoke and had an award ceremony. I stood up the front, next to our TV being the host. On the screen, a photo of each star (taken earlier) came up, as well as their name. Each girl had to come up and give a short speech. At the end, we all voted in a box. COSTUMES: My friends wore everything outrageous, from feather scarves, to sparkly dresses, big high heels, to colorful wigs and sunglasses etc. It was cool! PARTY SNACKS: We had mum's friends as waitresses and butlers who came around serving…
