I went out for a work friend's birthday and got wasted last night.
We started at a place round the corner from work called "the Hyde" - its a pretty cool place thats strangely dark inside and starts off slow with jazzy kinda music but then picks up when the dj starts and gets better as the evening progresses.
I decided that instead of drinking beer as I normally would (bce there are just so many damn calories in beer) I would try drinking spirits. On my first drink I tried to do the right thing and got vodka and diet coke... it tasted like crap! then i got a vodka lime and soda but the guy used lime cordial, making it taste nice and sweet but all that sugar from the cordial cldnt be good! I think then I had a midori and pineapple and a vodka and cranberry and a vodka lemon lime and bitters and then 2 beers - I think thats all!
During this time the place filled up with more ppl than I have ever seen in there and it was truely packed... and my work group was getting rowdy and pornographic (on the dancefloor)...hell I can be pretty bad but unlike some of the hot skinny chicks (one in particular) my knees will not allow me to partake in the full range of table top dancer moves. The girl I refer to is a work friend called Jackie... she's the sweetest girl ever (though not as innocent as one may think!) and she gets drunk off 2 drinks! Well I think she must have had 22 or something she was so effing wasted and the proverbial vultures (guys) were circling. A few of finally decided it was time to leave so we made our way out but then had to send someone back in to extact Jackie - we (me and a few others) weren't going to leave her there with the ppl that stayed. We got her out and she was a mess - stumbling and slurrig and apologising and announcing to total strangers that they should follow us to The GPO.
Another girl and I made an executive decision to call her boyfriend so I took her bag off her (she made no complaint) and another girl called the bf. Not something you want to do but it seemed like the only option - there was a good chance she wouldnt be able to hold it together to get into a new bar and she lives in a place that is only serviced by V-line so public transport or a taxi in her state wasnt an option! Anyway after we'd done this we decided we'd press on the the GPO and as we were going I told one of the guys we'd called her bf. And the her says "why on earth would you call her ex-boyfriend - that's just stupid!"... now we knew nothing about her breaking up with him since they'd just gotten back from Japan 2 days earlier and were fine before they left a month earlier. However aparently she was telling at least one boy adamently they'd broken up and organised a date with him! Yet when questioned by my mate (the one that rang the bf) she said 'no' that they hadnt broken up and wasnt angry that we'd called him!
We managed to get into the GPO just fine and I sat with her and someone went to get her a drink and then said he'd take her into the main area with the others and look after her and sent me off to get my own drink. So I did that and then had to pay the $10 to get into the "music room" (I cant remember the last tme I paid for entry...its against my religion!) and then wandered around in a big circle not finding ANYONE! then I tried to call someone and got no answer then I did another circuit and finally ran into someone that pointed me in the right direction and I got there only to find that Jackie had disappeared! FFS! Aparently she'd been sat down so that someone could go to the toilet and then gone off to another girl from work's house. Unfortunately this other girl was trashed too, I dont particularly like her as she is something of an irresponsible, immature brat (at age 20). This would still not have been a major issue except that one of the main vulture guys that I mentioned earlier was going to be at this chick's house.
On top of this there was no atmosphere at the GPO and sitting there I suddenly exclaimed "I know what's missing! The only way this place could be good is with drugs!" - of course a few ppl's eyes lit up... but we didnt have drugs and I was only partially serious - the night was pretty well ruined by then! So, after paying $10 to get in and being in there for about 15mins those of us that remained (about 8 of us) left! We stood outside contemplating the next move. Brett (the guy that had been looking after Jackie) had had enough and jumped on the next tram. Another guy decided he'd go too and one of the girls left with him (I had thought they were gong to hook up all night so this seemed to confirm it)... and then there were 4. I was so tempted just to go home but Krystal - the girl who's bday were celebrating - would have been upset and none of the crap was here fault! She rang her brother to find out where he was bce he's DJ or friend of a DJ and of all places he was in the GPO! So we went back inside! Hash (short for a long sri lankan name), one of the guys (actualy the only remaining guy) went and bought a round of drinks for us all (vodke lime and soda I think!) and I met Krystal's bro. THEN suddenly the other girl who was with us was missing! She turned up maybe 10 mins later with the girl who I'd thought was going to hook up with the guy (the ones that had left) in tow... said girl did not look happy at all so can only imagine something went very wrong! We danced a bit, hash got yet another round of drinks (I really owe this man some alcohol!) and we dance some more and then went and sat down and a decision was made to go to Chasers. This is where I bowed out. I was not heading to Chapel st when I was so close to home and starting to feel all the alcohol hit me!
So, bce Krystal's brother's girlfriend had her car nearby I got a lift home....yay!
I walked in, made myself a cruskit with vegemite and butter, washed my face and went to bed - guess I pretty much passed out.
Fuck was I sick when I woke up... I thew up a hell of a lot of clear liquid and went back to bed, slept some more, got up around 10.45am and went and sat in the lounge. I tried to get up to make something to eat but standing and walking made me feel sick and I had to get Matt to cook me some eggs! I was meant to do some overtime but hsd to sms and say I was just too hung over - seriously dont remember the last time I felt so sick! I then went and threw up more liquid and bile, made another cruskit and went to lie in bed. Tried to read a book but then went back to sleep. Got up at about 4pm and felt better... phew! Oh and I think I spent about $80...I never spend that much!
Next time I go drinking I will make sure to have a heary meal before hand bce I dont want to feel like this again... I was home by 1am and I've now lost a whole day!
Soooo.... have you fallen asleep yet? Twas more long winded than I intended and now I will leave you to it as matt has just arrived with my dinner (he went out to dinner wth his mum and bought mine as take away....mmmm Korean food!)
