The essence of cake

Yes - note the strange post name.

So I am trying to currently organise my birthday party. I am turning 20 this year. OMG!!! I won't be a teenager anymore. It is a scary thought..what does being an adult really mean? More responsibilities, More people to answer to.....

Anyway you are probably still wondering about the post name.. well as I mentioned I am trying to organise my birthday party and one of the big dilemmas for me is "Should I have a birthday Cake?". Yes I know it sounds like such a stupid question but for me I think a cake holds meaning at a birthday. PLUS If you know me..you know how nuts I am when it comes to baking cookies and cakes. When your mates start buying you cake cookbooks for xmas you know everyone thinks your a full on cake/cookie - freak!!!

I think as we get older our birthdays start becoming more about the drinking and how many people are coming rather than about celebrating your special day with those closest to you. I went to a party the other night where there was probably close to 100 people and the birthday boy didn't know half of them...it seemed what was more important was that there was 100 people at his place getting pissed.

Don't get me wrong I don't have anything against people wanting 100 people at their place but I think that it probably couldn't compare to the experience of having a few close friends, a cake and a birthday to remember.

I guess that's why this year I wanted to keep it "small and simple". I still have ended up inviting more than my intended quota of 10 people..does that make me a hypocrite?

I don't know..I started listing down all these people and in the end crossed about 10-12 off because I thought to myself "Do i really want her/him there or is it just because I feel obliged to invite them". That does sound awful but I think this task made me realise that perhaps I have been holding onto friendships past their use-by date.

I think I am just that type of person that can't even "get rid of a friend". It might stem from me being wanting to always be accepted into certain groups at school. * Insert Maslow Theory Needs Hierarchy Here* HAHAHA....this is turning into an EMO post so I will just stop.

Now...The cake!!!! I want a fucking birthday cake at my party and I dont give a rats what anyone else says. All else fails ..Ill just expect to gain 10 kgs after eating the cake all by myself.

CAKE CAKE CAKE!!!!! - cupcakes? freddo cake? ice cream cake?

*This has to be my most random post as a reward for having to endure that..here are some pics ( yes! I have finally worked out how to post up pics. Thanks 2 Xtina!)
