'Tis The Season To Be Spending
Well, this week was pretty average, apart from X-mas.
I went to the Tassie on Thursday and had an absolutely shit night, although I did get pissed before I went down and then stopped drinking, so by the later end of the night I was sober. At work the next day I was pretty hungry but Paul would only let me get Subway because you don't have to wait for it to cook and it's right next door. And I fucking hate Subway. So, anyway, I bought Subway for lunch and as soon as I had finished the first half of it, I threw my guts up in the sink out the back. I'm never eating Subway again. It's particularly off-putting to have to chop up chunks of previously eaten meatball and push them down the little holes in the sink with a thin metal skewer, all while holding your breath from the stench so you don't hurl again. There was also bits of pineapple in there, almost perfectly preserved, from my KFC Works burger the other night.
Yeah, also, I was sitting at home bored for almost the entire day of X-mas, which isn't very festive if you ask me. But still, I had a good night when I got pissed at 'Uncle' Macca's house (he's not really my Uncle, but we just call him that).
We played a sick drinking game called Kings, which goes as follows; A deck of cards is shuffled and arranged in a circle around a cup. The jokers are taken out of the pack. Players then take turns in a circle and draw cards, one per turn. Depending on what your card is, you have to do stuff. Here's the rules: Ace, "in your face" (you have a scull of your drink). From 1 to 5, you designate that many drinks to your mates or you as you see fit (for example, 2 drinks to young Billy, one drink to John, and 2 drinks to Mary). If you get a 6, it's a 'thumb card'. You declare that you have a thumb card, then say "When I use this card I'm going to put my thumb on [chosen area]". Then, when you decide to use it, you quietly put your thumb where you said you would and the last person to notice and do the same thing has to have a scull. You can use the thumb card whenever you want, even in the middle of someone else's turn. If you get a 7, it's a toilet card, which lets you go to the toilet. If you have to go and you don't have a 7, you have to scull 2 drinks before you leave. An 8 lets you make a rule for the game, any rule. For example, you could make a rule that before every drink you have to say "to the Queen and corgis" or you have to have another one, or if you swear you have to have a drink. A 9 was bust a rhyme, where you have to say a sentence and the person next to you needs to say one that rhymes with it. This continues around the players until someone can't rhyme or says a rhyming word that's already been used, and then they have a drink. 10 was a theme card, where you say anything (like car brands, makeup brands, types of boats, whatever) and the players take turns to say one. For example, if it was car brands, one player would say Ford, the next would say Holden, etc. Whoever can't do it first or says one that's already been said has another drink. Jack is a "go back" card, so the person who had a turn before you has to have a drink. Queen makes the person in front of you have a drink. And the killer card is the King. The people who get the first three Kings need to fill a third of the central cup with their drink, and the poor bastard who gets the last card has to drink the central grog, no matter what the mix is. I had one with Champagne, Bundy, and Beam in it, yuckers. Oh, and the final rule was that whoever picked up the first card that broke the circle of cards had to scull their drink.
Yeah, needless to say, I chucked my ring up when I got home last night. A festive chuck, if you will. And now I'm at work, yay. This is probably the first week in my whole life where I've thrown up on two seperate occasions.
Oh, for X-mas I got vouchers at Kmart for my new phone (Nokia 3220, or if there's none left, a 3200). I also got chocolates, socks, a diary, stuff like that. Nothing exciting but stuff I need so it's all good, especially the socks, all I have apart from them is single socks from a pair, and none of them happen to match.
Yeah this update's pretty big from the drinking game rules so I'll leave it here. I've gotta check out the journals of my mates now. Hope you all had a Merry .
