BROKEN NEW YEARS RESOLUTION
15.04.02

From the out take you should know that this entry really should have been written yesterday, but due to a MLI assignment I got distracted yesterday, so am writing it now. The entry is in reference to Saturday night and Sunday.

First off by the end of the night, or about 10pm Saturday I had been convinced by Jem to break my new years resolution and go thirds with her and Kate in a bottle of vodka. Yeah so the 'no buying alcohol' thing really went out the window. My night [and next day] as a step by step progression.

Called Kate to see if party was on.

Got called back to Kate with the affirmative response

Had dinner

Went around to Kate's house, and waited for Jem to arrive

Took phone call from Jem saying she was in town and was walking to Kate's from the train station

Jem arrived

Jem changed her shoes [I think, we talked about what to wear for a bit, but went in what she was wearing anyway]

Went to Birralee Drive Thru [Kate bought six pack of beer]

Went to Bec's birthday 19th party. I did not know Bec until the moment we arrived.

Saw a couple of people I recognised from campus

Saw DJ [guy in my programming class, who never turns up]

DJ announces to the party that he is/was 'straight'

I announce to DJ, that I am not

DJ forgets what just happened due to the effects of the dope he had been smoking

Was introduced to Shayne [hope that is how she spells her name, though it probably isn't], DJ [again], Josh, Bec [not the b/day girl], and a couple of others whom I have forgotten their names, or never really caught it in the first place.

Jem offered three-way vodka split

We found non-drunk person with car to go on booze run

Gave money to the guy hoping her would come back

He came back!

We cracked the lid and let loose with the shots [from the bottle, hard to measure but good at clearing the sinuses]

Party died down, said goodbye, hugged Bec and moved on to Tyron's

Walked to Tyron's and Nyssa's place to join their party

Walked with the traveller [our Smirnoff] with Jem telling Kate and I every three seconds or at the end of every second line to the song she was singing the she needed to pee. [Yeah, something I didn't need to know]

Stopped at the phone box at the shops outside Gino's Pizza place. Called some random people from Jem's 'SIM card' which had shoved in my phone so she could look up the numbers

Put my SIM card back in and couple for the life of me remember my phone PIN, so got locked out of my phone.

Got to Tyron's place, and started again with the shots, this time in glasses.

By the end of the bottle which Jem and I shared [excluding the shot we gave Tyron, and the three or four Kate had] we were pretty happy and jumpy

10 minutes later Jem realised vodka and 'jumpy' do not mix So scurried off to the toilet.

Rubbing her back and shoulder while she threw up, was me, while I could still maintain an upright posture.

Within the next 60 minutes or so, Jem threw up in the bathroom/toilet about four times, the back lawn once, and the garden once

I didn't throw up

I learnt not to give Jem seven full shots of vodka in about 30 minutes [her stomach doesn't handle it so good]

I was in the bathroom, [not throwing up] when the taxi arrived for Jem and Kate, so they told Lauren and others to say goodbye to me [which was nice of them]

Went outside again, sat down, and didn't move for a long time

Alcohol hit when I tried to get up

So I sat down again

I crashed at their place, woke up the next morning around 10 feeling oh so good, except for the fact I had forgotten when/how Jem and Kate had left

Asked Lauren how they left, she mentioned taxi, I felt OK again

Hang around for a while, woke up properly, got a lift from Lauren, [who had also crashed] back to Kate's place about noon to see if Jem and Kate had survived. [Specifically the one with the bottomless stomach.]

Saw then both alive, and moving. Ended up staying around for lunch, which was a roast. [One of the best meals to wake up to after a night on the 'turps'

Except if your Jem, for whom facing meat at anytime is a challenge [not so strict vegetarian]

Waited for Ali to turn up at Kate's place

Watched some of Pearl Harbour, on video, until I got sick of the really pathetic soppy story line underpinning the good planes so left.

OK maybe that wasn't the best way to describe everything, but I got out most of the stuff that happened and in the order in which it happens, as best for my recollection. [Seeing time goes out the window when I have been drinking, that is a big accomplishment] So overall the weekend was a good effort I think. NO homework was done until later Sunday night when I sat down and did some reading for uni after dinner. Spent at least about 8-10 hours with some really good folks.

Including Jem, whom I have concluded would not be interested in me, as I have made with the powers of deduction that she is mainly straight, or at least not too open to the idea unless there is a lot of champagne flowing. So I think getting her phone number will hold no more consequences for either of us outside of contact and communication. Relationship will not ensue, unless she picks up the idea and brings it up. I will leave the ball in her court.

Well I think Mum is home from work, and we need to eat dinner befroe I get into more homework and assignments. Till then think of me as I tirelessly sit down and type out copious amounts of C++ code.
