it just doesn't sound the same as it would back home.
Anyway. My birthday is tomorrow, Friday. I'm sorry for not giving more notice, though at least some of you may know when it falls. I would welcome you all to join me at my flat here in the tower for a birthday celebration. Food, drinks, and cake will be provided. Starting around seven in the evening. [/filtered]
