But when I do, I go all out. Except when I don't.
This weekend led me to a city away from home to celebrate a friend turning a quarter century. And boy did we celebrate. Fun happened, and that's important.
1. Getting ready
Bieber was on. And there was no shame. Prosecco out of the hotels complimentary plastic cups. There was still no shame. And let's not forget the moment when I re-pierced my ears just so I could wear some gold hoops and look mega G. Don't worry, the hoops were only 1cm. I could never be that G.
2. Not wearing a coat
So you can look as stylish as possible, coats are a no-go. Then as soon as you leave and hit the big outdoors you regret your naive decision immediately. Especially as you sit on your sofa the following night with snot dripping down your face while buried in three duvets.
3. Pitchers
If you're out with friends, chances are you're out for some good deals. Enter a pitcher, two straws and absolute hilarity. And let's not forget the gin.
4. Falling over
This is definitely never your fault. You're extremely aware of your surroundings, you look exactly where you're going and you never run down the stairs.
Of course, all of the above is completely untrue and you only have yourself to blame for that lump on your head.
5. Walking home
This is always the more eventful part of the night. It always takes an hour, even if your resting place is just around the corner. You: make new friends; meet old friends; run away from the local maniac and rid yourself of shoes even if the fear of glass is very real.
You reach what feels like the pinnacle of beds, and crash and burn. Then wake up with face creases, a dry mouth and the feeling of dread when you realise your card made it out.
