It's My Party Day
October 11 is It’s My Party Day, a great excuse to have a party for no reason at all! All you need to do is to invite all your friends and family to a fun party!
While the origins of this unofficial holiday are unknown, it is safe to say that it encourages people throwing a party to celebrate themselves.
How to Celebrate?
While one never needs a reason to have a party, It’s My Party Day is a great justification for throwing a bash just because you can! Here are some ways you can celebrate this fun holiday:
- Have a party of course! Send out invitations, decorate the venue, make all your favorite party foods, put on some fun music and let the party begin!
- Too tired to organize a party by yourself? What about meeting your friends at a restaurant or at the park? Who says parties have to be at home?
Did You Know...
...that according to the Guinness Book of World Records the longest dance party lasted for 55 hours? The party took place in Wexford, Ireland on October 29, 2006.

The 16th tee featured a fairway that ran along a road. The first golfer in a foursome teed off and hooked the ball. It soared over the fence and bounced onto the street, where it hit the tire of a moving bus and ricocheted back onto the fairway.
As they all stood in amazement, one of the golfer's friends asked, "How did you do that?"
The golfer shrugged. "You have to know the bus schedule."

- Old accountants never die, they just lose their balance.
- Old musicians never die, they just get played out.
- Old lawyers never die, they just lose their appeal.
- Old daredevils never die, they just get discouraged.
- Walt Disney didn't die. He's in suspended animation.

Psychiatry students were in their Emotional Extremes class. "Let's set some parameters," the professor said.
"What's the opposite of joy?" he asked one student.
"Sadness," he replied.
"The opposite of depression?" he asked another student.
"Elation," he replied.
"The opposite of woe?" the prof asked a young woman from Texas.
The Texan replied, "Sir, I believe that would be giddyup."

I’m at the library, and for some reason, when I plug my flash drive into the computer, it doesn’t show up. I keep trying, but nothing happens.
As an IT major, I know I can figure this out. So I spend 15 minutes changing settings and inserting and removing the flash drive.
Then a girl sitting next to me taps my shoulder and says,
“You’re plugging into my computer, not yours.”
