It's not like it's a surprise that I'm leaving!
If it's supposed to be a surprise that they care, it's probably just as well you're going.
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

Our wings are not tired.
I don't think I have ever had a surprise party. If all of you are at my house some day when I get home, it's all good. I did throw DH a surprise party for his 40th. It was particularly insane since he scheduled us to leave town the next day because he didn't know.

I had a surprise party once that was a blast--soon after I'd gotten the lead in a play in high school, my best friend asked if I wanted to come over for a sleepover, just the two of us hanging out for the evening, something we'd do every once in a while. I didn't think anything about it, said sure. That night, she led me down to the basement and out popped a few other friends of ours who were also staying the night, and they gave me a "Congrats" cake and everything. Very fun!

Totally unrelated to anything we're currently discussing, I'm being freaked out by crows. Normally I'm a fan of corvids—smart, interesting roles in multiple mythologies, etc. But I'm on the top floor of my office building, and I think some crows have a nest on the roof just to my right and behind me. I keep seeing these great, black feathered shapes swooping at me out of the corner of my eye, and then they zoom up and out of sight. It's very distracting. Sort of a type, click, type, click, OMG-death-from-above!, type, click, type, click situation.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
My friends threw me a surprise party when I moved away, but I was 13. My friend's mom made me a giant clown head that everyone signed, and they later gave me a collage of pictures taken at the party.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh.
Friends threw me an awesome surprise 30th birthday party -- people came from out of town! Worlds collided! It was good times.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I suspect this opinion is shared by many here, but I really dislike surprise parties
I don't think I've had a surprise party in a long time, but I would like one. Even a regular party that showed people thought of me. Although maybe I wouldn't like a surprise party because I'd be annoyed that I didn't wear the right clothes. But I do like good surprises of most sorts.
