Having went there at 2 for some solid pre-party Risk action, I was able to get an inside scoop to much of the night--at least in the beginning.
Problem #1 : Party-proofing the house. All those little things that people play with when sober must be cleared away so that they aren't broken by the drunks.
Problem #2: Finding a blender. Paul had the wonderful idea of making dalquiris for all, but needed a blender. Lucky for us, kinda, that Trevor's folks gave us theirs, but too bad for us that it was broken (i think) when I went to pick up Abby, Jill and Max.
So yeah. I'm there, Paul, Nicky C, Seth show up. Brenna appears, etc. People are coming anyways. I'm not even going to attempt a list of attendence, but Garrett and I estimated the number at like 25 at the highest point. Enough booze for all, too, which was nice.
Brenna was nice enough to make me some Mac & Cheese before the party, which was actually, REALLY good. So anyways, I didnt really drink much at first (or at all). It was nice partying with Alison for the first time, and Mollie was fun too. Oh, also, Lindsay kept killing me with laughter. Shit, we must've fallen off of those stools like 20 times each.
Good times. And apparently, I was the kiss-on-the-cheek bitch for everyone. I think Nicky C was the only one who sat out on that activity. Geeeez, I'm a whore.
So anyways, it seems to be that parties consist of a few basic things. For example, there is always at least one scare of being caught, at Garrett's, it was the cops outside. There is also always someone who drinks too much, and someone who spends their night telling that person that A. they'll be alright and 2. that they aren't assholes for not knowing when to stop drinking. (at Garretts.... Max, Nick, Lauren... to name a few). Parties also consist of a few people hooking up, at least mildly. Here is was hmmm.... Becca and Alex, to the best of my knowledge, but I was with Max upstairs over the toilet, so w/e.
I swear to god, Max, everytime I looked over you were drinking something different. I just had to laugh. THEN, OMG, when we thought the phone was ringing, and I put my ear up to the microwave! HAHHAHHAH! I had fun with you, man. Despite the Mac & Cheese not agreeing with my bagel and causing me to sit by the fridge for an hour. "What are you doing, hiding in the corner, Zac??"
So we all stayed alive, and had a blast, so yeah. FUN! WHEEEEEEEEEE! Then people started to fall asleep/pass out all over the place, and I made my way upstairs to sleep in the hallway. Mollie joined me and before long the hallway was PACKED. You couldn't move! So after a while, some laughs, and some screams, as well as some shirtless Jill action, (hooking up with Keith to go back a few paragraphs). "Jill, strapless bras still have a front to them..."
Garrett: "Why isnt anyone sleeping downstairs?"
Me: "The gay rate is just too high...." (or something, i dunno, funny at the time, i swear.)
I got hungry at like.... 3-4ish and went down for some solid, chips-and-dip action. Oh it was good. Brenna came down and joined me as Garrett tried to start another fire (which lit magically in a bright explosion when we were all across the room). Sam came too and had some sitting by the fire fun with us all, before finding a blanket and heading back to the couch. I went upstairs, grabbed by blanket, and crashed right there in front of the fireplace, in the kitchen, on the floor. At least I was warm.
I woke up at 7 as Garrett was making coffee and heading to work, and I moved to the living room floor to sleep for another 2 hours. Then when I awoke, I went upstairs to see everyone just sitting around Keith's bed talking about getting some breakfast. I didnt stay for more than 5 mins though, before I grabbed all my stuff (except my Risk board, btw) and went home.
Another interesting thing that happened today, I won the free pizza raffle at Lisbon House. I encourage you all to go there, because A. the pizza rocks, and 2. its run by a nice greek family. I had been down there with Max exactly one week ago, right before midterms, and dropped my name in the box, just because, never expecting to win, but why not, you know? So anyways, Maxim, I won that shit! hahahaa, so I drove down to collect my pizza and then proceeded to eat it with my father, who is the coolest man ever.
BUT NOW, its JAY MACK on TOS!!!!!
