["i went to my friend's birthday party a few weeks ago", 'Did you have fun?', 'i did. i was looking forward to it all week, and it met my expectations.']
It's always nice when an event lives up to the hype. Was it at a bar or a house or where?
a few weeks ago, my friend threw a birthday party and invited all my friends. i hadn't seen my any of them in awhile and had been kind of lonely.  for a week straight, i was so excited about the party that it was all i could think about
