The Follow-Up
Posted 02-18-2012 at 11:58 PM by STM
Well, this is sort of an interesting addition to my New Year bonanza if anyone remembers that. I just got back from the first party I've been to since 1st January. And I was rather miffed actually at how dull it suddenly all became to me. I only drank one Strongbow, expecting it to ease me up a bit without getting drunk, and that succeeded for a good ten or fifteen minutes before I sort of crashed a bit.
After an hour I was feeling really bored so I decided to break my smoking ban and try a little weed to cheer myself up. My mate passed his doobie to me and I took maybe five tokes before passing it on. It had no effect on me whatsoever beyond providing me with a sore throat. Apparently it was crap weed too.
After retreating back into the house I spent maybe an hour or so dancing. At some point in this time period one of my mates impaled my foot with her heel while I was dancing with her, and perhaps again later on when she fumbling around and I was trying to keep her standing up.
Beyond that I spent most of the night wondering why I wasn't talking to anyone much and how long it was till the music would quiet down a bit. So I suppose this means I do need more drinks than just one to have a good time at a party...I dunno.
On the plus side, I accidentally took a wrong turn on the way home and got rather lost, and even though it was biting cold it was a fantastically beautiful morning (I left at 7 AM) and I covered some ground across some fantastic farmland before doubling back to drudge through my proper course which took me through a narrow, shit smelling alley way.
All in all, it was a sort of average night, marginally better than sitting at home at points. But I didn't get drunk, which I guess is a pro.
Oh hey, and I got a few good comments on my clothes at the start of the night, at first it was a few girls basically saying 'wow' but that degenerated to 'you look like the straight one off JLS by midnight.' Heh.
