Okay, okay, update.
Last weekend my friend Gino celebrated his 21st. His birthday is the 27th of December, but he didn't celebrate it 'til the 7th. It was on his MSN contact name, so I asked if it was an open invite--it was. So I went. Gave mum's love to his parents Paul and Pauline. It was funny, because when I sent out all these Christmas cards earlier, I sent one to them. Pauline said, when she got it, she asked Gino if he knew I was in Hamilton (yes) and had I been invited (yes, at least twice already). It's all good.
Gino, upon seeing me, couldn't remember the last time he'd seen me. I reminded him not only had we run into each other in town back in July, but we all had dinner at his place back when Mum came down with me. Idjit. Gave him a bit of a hard time about that.
My drinks of the night: Woody's bourbon and coke (6% this time, not like the 8% I had at New years) and vodka cruiser's black.
Anyway, a lot of fun conversations. I knew maybe two or three people. But that didn't bother me. Certainly not when I found my main audience seemed to be this friend of Gino's, Bjiorn.
Remember this. It will come up in the test at the end of the semester. Dinner was a lovely BBQ with lots of fish (ugh, none for me), sausages and venison. A lot of people were just so hungry they ate their forks. (Not really. The shitty little plastic bastards had a mean tendency to let their prongs snap off.) Garlic bread of course. These are Italian's after all.
And then the speeches. Poor Gino. Having both his parents speak up. And having to do a yard glass. Oh, most of it ended up down his shirt or chundered on the lawn, but still. Gotta admire him for finishing it even after puking. Plus we were all cheering him on 'cause we're so kind. His dad was the one holding the bottom of the glass. He got very, very pished.
I got to the point of being almost sick, and pushed it. So I threw up as well. But not long after that, I left with Bjiorn and a couple of the guys to go into town. Gino was wanting to go into town as well... I found out from him in a text this morning that his friends did take him in, he nearly passed out in Garden Place so they took him home, where he did pass out. Apparently his hangover didn't kill him, or make him want to kill himself. Town was... well, there were a lot of people. But it was, as Bjiorn put it, rather trashy. He lives in Wellington and it's apparently much better there (goood!).
And we were... somewhere, and they were buying drinks--Bjiorn insisted on buying me a drink, and then wouldn't tell me what I was getting 'til I had it--and some blond chick came up to me and said, "You're hot, honey." *blinks* I have
no idea how intoxicated she must have been at the time. *grins* Anyway, my drink turned out to be vodka with lemon, apple juice, and
feijoa juice. Not bad at all. But we didn't stay long, and so...
Bjiorn dropped the boys off at their homes and he and I went somewhere to... go for a walk. *coughs* Let's just say I'll be wearing my hair down for the next few days--which btw,
pandoras_evil_t straightened for me today--so I don't get any questions about the, um, marks.
My pants zipper got broken... oops. And, so, yeah. He lives in Wellington, which is, rather nicely, where I want to be for the next few years for uni. Sooo...
Who knows.
Wish I had a digital camera so I could show you pictures of me with straight hair. It's so weird. Cool, but undeniably
weird. Ta ta now y'all.
Fin.
