Surprise!!!!
Uhmmm… I used to think I loved surprises.. never had a surprise birthday party and often thought how cool it would be if someone threw one for moi!
Last night however, I was politely informed that I do not like surprises.. o_O!?
After a few polite moments with me trying to recover my dropped jaw from the floor, I said
“Excuse me??”..
And this was met with a stubborn jawline and a firm look ..
“No Briget, you do not like surprises at all.. in fact surprises unsettle you and make you angry for not being able to prepare for them. You only like THE IDEA of surprises.. The idea that someone would want to surprise you.. not the actual surprise, those just leave you annoyed.”
Huh, I think he may be onto something there.. sucks though that I am like that though. No wonder no-one has thrown me a big ol’ fandangly surprise before! Suppose you all knEw didn’t you?!
Bastards couldve said something sooner instead of leaving me expectant like that for so long.
I still like pressies though!!… don’t I?!

lol – ja I dont like surprises. A surprise present is wonderful, a surprise dinner great but a surprise with lots of people there, or that might interfere with things I could not arrange ahead STRESS – even the idea of a big surprise makes me feel a bit jittery
Don’t let anyone persuade you that you only like the idea of presents.

Oh I HATE surprises because I have this weird idea that it implies someone has been lying to me, and I’m totally freaked by being lied to! Make sense?
I don’t always need to know the details but I need to have some kind of warning. For instance, if there is a “surprise” party being arranged, I need to know (a) that it’s going to happen, (b) more or less when it will be (this week, next month etc) and (c) who’s going to be there.
I want a surprise bday party for Christmas! Really I want one! I LOVE surprises but noone has ever surprised me with anything

No man Laura someone must have surprised you with something in the past!!!! – maybe your idea of what a surprise is is different though.
For me every gift I receive is a surprise as I dont expect anything. Has no-one ever given you flowers, or planned a romantic evening for you? Even a chocolate you did not expect is a surprise.
Sally – I thought I did too..LOL!
Barbs – I was at a surprise birthday once and this Birthday girl walked in swearing at the boyfriend ..lol..how embarrassing!
Cheryl Mac – Noooooo!!! that one I will fight for
eastcoastjac – OMG!! Its like we twins!!! I just never realised how much I felt that way before..
Laura – Never?? any surprise pregnancies perhaps??
Barbs – I think if she digs deep she will remember a surprise or two .. But I think she wants a Pleasant and Planned Surprise that includes lotsa ppl jumping from behind chairs
I also don’t like surprise. I usually figure them out before hand though (must be the Sherlock Holmes in me) and then I have to practise my “surprised” look in the mirror because I don’t want to disappoint everyone.
I’m not fond of surprises either.
