Yesterday at CENSORED I discovered that CENSORED including the CENSORED have read my blog! Needless to say, they spent all day CENSORING me. So I said to the CENSORING CENSORS that they should CENSOR off. Not really, I took a very CENSORED stance, and have CENSORED a lot, and gone as far as CENSORING the CENSORED entries from my blog.

Yesterday evening, after CENSORED, I went to Heather's dad's 50th birthday party.

My initial fears of only having a proxy-invite (ie: I was invited by Heather, and not her father) were rendered needless when I discovered how excellent Heather's family are at organising a party. I thought my party was done pretty well- but it was a shetland pony to the really, really big horse that was Heather's family's "do". They had a marquee going seamlessly from their house into the garden, a CD player in the garden, mountains of food and drink, and what felt like around 100 guests!

Apart from Heather, the only other people whom I vaguely knew were Heather's friends, Naomi and Alice. Unfortunately, they only vaguely knew me as the one dimensional background character with a gimmick, and probably a catchphrase. When they saw me, the first thing they asked me about was where my monocle was. I was tempted to cry, to show them that I'm actually multi-dimensional, and I have feelings too. I didn't in the end, as it might have given the wrong impression on what I was thinking with regard to the party I was attending.

One of the nicest surprises of the evening for me was that it turns out that I'm quite the celebrity in my old school. Heather's sister reliably informed me that people talk about me in the corridors, and they play my duck shooting game in ICT lessons! I think this is because it's the only games site that isn't banned.

All in all, it was a tremendously enjoyable party- just what I needed after a long, hard day at CENSORED.

Happy Birthday Heather's dad!
