So this weekend marks the 21st anniversary of les’s birth. as per American custom on your 21st birthday you consume copious sums of alcohol. And my god did we ever abide by the custom!
Night 1: I get off work at 10-ish and rush over to Les’s as i hope to catch them before they go to north gate. when i get there there are about 8 people in his living room, none of them drinking…. this is a problem, the other being none of them is Les. however included in this crowd was a rather annoying couple. one of the 2 is my friend, the other his new wife. I’m not going to go to deep into this as i don’t want to hear any bitching, but only very pretty people are aloud to constantly make out in public. and even that is pushing it.i was relieved to hear the reason Les was not present was because he was out with another friend buying liquor. i suppose i can stand a few moments not drinking while they buy it. then Dane shows up with his arms full of beer, I’m saved. i can tolerate anyone with beer. Dane and i are the first ones to start drinking. 2 beers later the rest of the party goers decide to start as well. then Les shows up with a treasure trove of liquor, hes got everything from Jack to grey goose….mmmmmm. at this point i can tell its going to be a great night. we all begin drinking heavily, taking shots and all, smoking way too many cigarettes just all around having fun. at about the time i got completely comfortable with my surroundings everyone except Amanda and i decide to go to north gate. as we are not yet 21 we decide the most beneficial course of action is to remain behind and guard the beer. they leave, as they are walking out the door i get a call. another party is in need of me. Amanda and i head to this party with way too many people in a tiny apt. i could tell this was going to be a fun experience. Amanda and i head out to smoke a cigarette. i began talking to the guy who invited me socializing and whatnot. i kept feeling someone hit me in the back but i just assumed someone was accidentally bumping into me. i was wrong. Amanda had fallen victim to “Awkward Sean”. When i realised these weren’t innocent bumps but covert pleas for help, i intervened…. after listening for a while…. from what i heard on the conversation went something like this:
Sean: “so i see you have your nose pierced, got anything else pierced”(scoots an inch closer to Amanda
Amanda: “no nothing strange” (backs into the corner)
Sean: “so do you have any tattoos?” (moves in closer)
Amanda: “none you can see” (begins to nudge me)
Sean: “Are you spontaneous?” (now standing way too close to Amanda, i hafto intervene)
It was hilarious, i mean these seem like semi normal failed pickup lines, but something form this tiny redhead they were the most awkward clumsy words i have ever heard spoken. i was impressed. i put my arm around Amanda and started whispering in her ear hoping Sean would assume she was taken, he did not… after about 5 min of trying to drive him off i said “hey Sean well see you inside”, he didn’t budge, so i made it obvious that i meant we will see I’m inside right now, from the outside. he understands and Amanda and i leave. back to Les’s in time for a couple cigarettes and to greet the rest of the party as they return from north gate. Les stumbling in behind them. mission accomplished, Les passes out. I’m told he has quite a night full of various shots and brews.
Ill post night 2 later, for the time being I’m going to take a shower. later
Update
Night 2 (last night): OK this night is really fuzzy. And if you weren’t invited my excuse is my cell phone died.. I remember sitting down and watching episode 3 with a small group of people. we started drinking. Skyler decided since he doesn’t drink he would eat a piece of bread for every beer i had. i came out ahead in this competition, Skyler passed out after the first loaf. as time went on more and more people started showing up. i vaguely remember trying to pick fights with everyone there after the second round of shots (and the second case of beer). i believe i was unsuccessful. i made a total ass of myself, then apparently helped a few people out with various issues. when i reach a certain level of drunkenness i apparently get (to quote from what i heard this morning) very “deep and philosophical”. i had intended on getting completely wasted. mission accomplished. had to wake up at 6:30AM this morning and go to a meeting at work. when i got there i answered a question correctly and got a free Breathalyzer (watch future blog entries for this, I’m sure you’ll be hearing about it allot). after testing the breathalyzer… the next morning… i blew a .09 that’s how much i drank and why i don’t remember much. i blew a .09 the next morning. now those of you who worry about me drinking and doing stupid shit. i had alot of people there watching out for me, i was responsible, and no one (to my knowledge) was injured in the making of this blog entry. I’m going to go recover, night all.
