superbowl superbowl superbowl blah.
christine--phreak! jin already came here...last week, i think it was. yeah. it was on thursday. my friend karen went. weirdos.
anyway, i think the snow that fell before's been taken care of now--it was just when i was coming home last night that it hadn't been shovelled or anything yet, and it was nuts.
as for gemma's partee, a short-ish [okay, correction: long-ish] summary (my memory's a bit hazy):
- i got there early and met andria's best friend elizabeth from the yukon who's currently going to guelph...she was damned cool
- andria and some of her other housemates had made these funny t-shirts...andria's had these green felt symbols on the front (i think there was an acorn, a squirrel, a picnic table...and something else) and "ranga danga" on the back. richard's was pretty great, too. it said something like "coupez ici," and there were dotted lines all around the shirt. tara's said "stiffler's mom" among other american pie terms. unfortunately, andria had to change her shirt 1/4 of the way into the night 'cause it was soaked by ppl's drinks. ppl kept pouring drinks on each other. my butt felt wet for most of the night, and when i told someone this, they were like, "that seems to be the theme of the party."
- i'd brought my christmas cosmopolitan kit and bottle of goldshlager, and started downing one of my many cosmos of the nite
- elizabeth taught us to play this "submarine" drinking game...andria sucked at it
- a few hrs later the 3 of us (andria, elizabeth, and i) decided that we wanted to go to timmy's for food, and we actually walked through a semi-blizzard down princess st. and forced ourselves to act sober to order our chunky chicken sandwiches to go
- we got back and discovered that josh, andria and elizabeth's other friend from the yukon who goes here, just left right before we got back, and the two of them went running through the streets yelling for him and they eventually found him and brought him back
- we'd stuck one of my cosmos in the freezer before we left and when we took it back out i drank it in all its cold, slushy goodness. yum.
- oh, i also brought a whackload of the gum samples i got from columbia records (it was insane--1500 of 'em!! that's a lifetime supply) to the party, and since they look like condom packages, we called the stuff condom gum. some of the girls were taking them and stuffing them down their shirts, w/ a bit of it showing so it looked like they had condoms in their bras. classy.
- by now there are a lot more ppl arriving, and i am getting a tad too intoxicated. i think andria has had waaay too much; she bought one of those superbowl six-packs that come w/ a variety of different brands of import beer in those cool tall cans, and i think she finished 'em all. we've also done goldschlager shots. she disappears halfway through the party....i later find her lying in her bed in her room beside some unidentified female...elizabeth tells me that andria puked in her garbage pail in her room or something. yuck.
- a lot of the same ppl who were at the partay last year are back again...richard's (formerly known as dickie) twin bro christopher comes, but this time w/ his fun and funny bf whose name i can't remember anymore...gemma's friends from ottawa come--i think their name's are janice and...something else...azé, lindsay, kate, elena, rachel, chad (who for some reason had everyone coming up to him going, "so YOU'RE the chad!!" he was totally confused as to why he'd suddenly developed a reputation. ha.), jr, oh blah...i can't name 'em all. marc--that girl you kept calling "buffy" last year was there, too! :D there were also these groups of guys that i didn't know...and i don't remember any of their names either anyway.
- but yeah, it was fun--we danced in the living room again, except this year we had some cheeseass porn playing on the tv (i think christopher brought it) at the same time; there was too much lesbian porn going on. afterwards, ppl were playing super mario bros!! i loved that!! this girl named tanaka (richard's ex) was freaking hilarious!!! i love her! she kept coaching and taunting the players, boasting that she could beat their asses at the game, and then when they gave her a controller she was....a mediocre player. then she apologized. :D
- and of course, gemma was wasted. as usual, she started falling all over the place. i think about 3/4 of the way through the nite she disappeared somewhere 'cause she was really sick. i hope she feels alright today!
- by the end (it was around 2:30 am), i'd pretty much sobered up, and at the start of the nite we'd decided that i was gonna stay over, but after seeing andria and the unidentified girl in her bed (i will die laughing if it turns out it was anjalee), i told elizabeth that i was gonna head home. i gathered up my cosmo kit in the kitchen, and some of those unknown guys were quite impressed w/ my silver martini shaker and the diesel shoebox that i kept everything in. ;P one of 'em was trying to get this guy who was passed out by the sink to get up so they could leave, and he was trying to persuade me to wake the dude up. he was like, "come on, he's brazillian!" as if that was a good enough incentive. i couldn't find my grand marnier, and i must've sounded like a nut when i asked the guys if they could see any alcohol in the dryer (the washing machine is in the kitchen), but that was where we'd hid it at the start of the night. oh well. my cosmo kit is no more. i finished the vodka and the grand marnier is lost, and i left what was left of the cranberry and lime juice behind.
i walked home in the haze of snow, made myself some instant noodles, and watched my fave parts of the a&e pride & prejudice until 5 am.
