The one fabulous night of the year where 99% of Bath University dons a toga and swamps the down.
Getting into the spirit we decided to start early, so headed down to 'spoons in our togas at about 6 for meals and drinks. After that we went to the Rat and Parrot, then on our way to the Huntsman we bumped into the GV lots (okay so it was only really Handsome Mark, Dom, Neil and Katherine, but Mars did appear in the Huntsman).
That was where things get hazy...
I know we went to the Porter or something with a similar-sounding name. I know we lost THMA somewhere along the way. I lost my housemates but stuck with GV. We went to Revs and queued for ages for drinks only to find they'd run out of pitchers for cocktails. So we had doubles instead - at £3.60 each a complete rip off but then again they were pretty strong (and I didn't pay for mine anyway - I owe Mars a drink :P). This was when we'd lost THMA so we came out and phoned him and were found by my housemates. I think that was when we went to the Porter. Somehow the GV lot and Lizzi ended up in the Rat again, looking for THMA (we found him). He left to go to Score as he had tickets for it, the rest of us stayed for a bit then went to Mars' at 12:30 for toast.... oh and I had some more vodka. Only a vodka and lemonade though - Dom and Mars were doing shots (and by god can Dom take his drink). Lizzi, Neil and Katherine left after a bit, leaving just Dom, Mars and I. Only then Dom and I left too at around 3:30 :P The original plan was for Dom to walk me home but much hugging ensued and we decided to keep each other company for a bit longer. This turned into several hours longer, in which we ate grapes and jelly beans, I had a headache and we played "I have never" (I'd never played and wanted to). I'm sure we started off vaguely vertical but as the hours went past we slid towards the horizontal. I was going to stay up all night and watch the sun rise as I never have, but just couldn't (though I did make it to about half 5) so we gave up and went to sleep - the sort of dozing sleep where you wake up every half hour in order to make yourself more comfortable. My alarm went off at half 8, but I couldn't be arsed to get up as I'm only missing a maths problem class and I already have the sheet. Dom had to leave in a hurry when someone phoned him at 9. He left when there were a load of people standing in the corridor, so I expect I am evoking a lot of speculation and will be interrogated about that later.
My quote of the night: "A is for aniebriated. B is for brunk. C is for crunk. D is for drunk. E is for eniebriated. F.... is for FRUNK".
The other contender was one I said to many people: "I love you in a planetary way", the logic being platonic --> plutonic --> pluto is a planet.
The tally on my arm tells me I drank 6 double vodkas and a reef, plus a single vodka at Mars'. All I can say is that if I was drunker than I'd ever been last Thursday... I was a hell of a lot drunker than that last night.
On my other arm it says "Happy bubbly wonderful kooky and crazy and we wouldn't change you for the world". Dom wrote this when I was semi-sleeping but told me not to read it til the morning :P
After Dom left I showered and have breakfasted and other than feeling sick I feel much better than I should do on only 3.5 hours of somewhat broken sleep. Dom and I decided that if ever one of us wants impartial but nice company, we shall call each other, as it worked pretty well last night (this morning). (We weren't feeling great).
GV committee meeting this afternoon in which we get given keys and the ability to email everyone in GV using the list thing. I so should not hold a position of responsibility :P
