May 2nd was my best friends birthday. With last week being the stressful time where all coursework was handed in, and the fact half of her family had forgotten it was her birthday - plus her boyfriend wasn't being all that great, I wanted to make her birthday extra extra special. So my boyfriend - Michael and myself started planning.
She was coming over mine so that I could curl her hair before we went up central London, and used this to our advantage. Firstly, we thought of the normal things you would do - banners, an helium balloon and a cake, but then we kinda got carried away!
We got some birthday banners and tons of balloons to decorate the porch, and made this banner with some colourful paints!
Then the fun kicked in. We hung her birthday card in front of the door in between the balloons in the porch, and written on one balloon by the door was 'push here'.
Here, she opened the door to reveal 50 balloons hung from the ceiling at different levels. Pushing through the balloons, at half way she reacher her present from Michael and on the door to the kitchen she reacher mine. Once she pushed open the door, she was greeted with us singing happy birthday :D
She told us that it was the best birthday she had yet had, and that she was really bummed but what we done really picked her mood up, so it worked! We then went up London to see 'Cherrybomb' at the grand Empire cinema at Leicester Square. We'd never been there before and was overwhelmed by the amount of mirrors everywhere - even in the ceiling, a waiting room with comfy sofas and plasma televisions in the walls - surrounded by even more mirrors, and the toilets contained not only an amazing scented soap, but a moisturiser to compliment it.
We finally got to screen six, up 4 flights of steps we opened the door revealing a breath-taking sized screen, with seats I could just about see. We got told that our screen was the smallest in the cinema; but it was the biggest I had ever walked into! Because there was a film finishing, we walked out, all of us said the same thing - 'no way is that the smallest screen!?!' and walked back down the stairs slowly. Half way down the 4 flight of stairs we see this glamourous padded door saying 'Screen 6' I opened it and peered in. A small corridor revealed 2 maroon seats, and Michael walked in, we followed. The corridor opened up to a 20 seated area, with 3 people seated already facing a screen. This was where our film was being shown. we sat down in our seats and peered at the design such a small place had, it was immense. The birthday girl pointed out that this is where the stars of Harry Potter saw the film for the first time before it was even released. Even I - not a Harry Potter fan - got a bit excited inside.
After the film, it was off TGI Fridays where we sung, ate, danced a little and had a really good time!
Happy birthday Korinnian. :)
Sounds like fun!
