I have a confession...
Officially I have drunken alcohol at a party 5 times now. This time, though, it wasn't at a college party.
So my friend Tuyen called me up 3 weeks ago on a Friday evening and she was all "Hey, I'm going to a JROTC party, wana join me?" I did. When I got there, however, I was surprised to find that there was alcohol involved. Wow - so much available alcohol to high school students - I never knew! Anyways, the stuff tasted godawful, being as there was no water to dilute the awful taste (Heh. Keg beer).
I ignored the crappy crap stuff for several hours - choosing rather to go home and get my DDR pads (along with the 5 different DDR games) and kareoke (made by the DDR company). Fun stuff! But the other girls seemed a bit uncomfortable with fun that didn't involve boys, flirting or beer/rum. By that time many of the guys were quite tipsy/drunk and couldn't play DDR well. Watching roudy drunk high school guys play DDR is amusing beyond comprehension!
(yes, yes, fiiine I'm getting to the point)
Eventually I chugged down a glass of rum - only after one of the girls had made it taste better with splenda and soda. I cannot hold my alcohol. Seriously. There was barely any rum in it, and later I had another barely-any-rum glass. After that I kept saying dumb stuff like "Where has all the rum gone? *hyuck hyuck*" and "Hey everybody, remember to drink water before going to bed so you don't get a hangover." I was a bit repetitive.
Tuyen went home at some time after her boyfriend got really red-faced drunk and crashed. I stayed. Later some people joined us who had just gotten back from a high school prom. I met this Asian guy whom I found attractive and we became friends. He was more awkward than the preps (like me!) and didn't find me really strange. We're facebook friends now! W00t.
Yes, so I became increasingly dumb as the rum took effect. At one point I had my first body shot from this girl who laid on the kitchen counter and let people take turns. It was actually quite awesome. Apparently you lick the salt from her stomach, take the shot from her naval and then take the lime from her mouth. She had braces and I remember my teeth clunking against them slightly. It was so much fun that I wanted to do it again - but I restrained myself. BUT IT WAS SERIOUSLY AMAZING!
A lot of the skinny little white girls with makeup (aka everybody but me) started getting really friendly with the males and flirting and dancing with other girls (to turn the guys on? I don't get it). They tried really hard to convince me to dance with(on) them like they do. Drunk or not, though, I was having none of it.
After it became early dawn and the sun was rising, most of the people had already crashed. I decided I was sleepy and ran upstairs to claim the master bedroom. Another girl and the guy I liked ran up after, but I was faster and more steady. All three of us ended up cramped in the bed anyways and we fell asleep for about 4 hours. I have to admit that in my drunken state I was a tad bit mad that this tiny white girl was in my way and crowding the bed. I would have loved to snuggle up to someone who would most likely snuggle back. The girl was not very nice to me earlier, so I did not think she would have agreed to snuggling. I also had this huge urge to throw my arm around her like I would my Teddy or my Kitty, but I restrained. Damn drunken urges.
Yeah, so we woke up around 10-ish and I stayed for 1 more hour before going back home. The friend I made seemed honestly disappointed that I was leaving - even though there were three nearly sober girls dancing very VERY skanky (a free show, as one of the guys put it) in front of him and the other guys. I guess my presence is more desired than a free skank show! Makes me feel a little good about myself.
When I got home my parents had apparently assumed I stayed the night at Tuyen's house, and I made sure to avoid going close to them in case I smelled like alcohol (I had made sure not to let anything get on me the night before - just to be sure).
The rest of the day went fine - even though I still had alcohol in my system and was dead tired.
XD
I still feel guilty about drinking at home - I'd much rather do it in college or something.
