Party Highlights

[the_siobhan]

My furnace is busted and my house is freezing. There are beer bottles all over the kitchen and a big-ass pot of vegetarian --- um... something in my fridge.

I think I had a pretty fucking good weekend.

• Getting a phone call from Lee I. in England on Friday to wish me a happy birthday and a good party
  
  
• Sitting in The Ancient and leaping up to hug the people who kept rolling in the door in twos and threes all night until we were taking up near half the pub. And trying to ignore the jazz Michael Jackson covers.
  
  
• Drinking two bars dry of Guinness in a row
  
  
• Being woken up at the crack of eleven. "There are rock stars on your front porch. Go let them in."
  
  
• Sitting in a cab and feeling the butterflies that I always get when I know I'm about to be the centre of attention.
  
  
• Sushi for 20. With saki.
  
  
• Walking into the venue bathroom and being immediately surrounded by an expectant circle of people waiting to see my reaction -- My sisters had postered all the urinals and stalls in both bathrooms with old pictures of me. The winner was definitely the ones from when I was six and wearing a pink tutu and a tiara. My sisters stuck it over top of a condom ad, so it had a caption that read, "So you think you are ready for sex?" The only thing I could think of when I looked at it was, "Wow. I had a really big head."
  
  
• As a direct result of the above: the_macross walking up to me, pointing, cracking up and walking away. He did this about 50 times that night.
  
  
• People I haven't seen in literally years. Hi elixxir!
  
  
• Being dragged in front of the stage with the_axel holding one arm and somebody -- individuation? -- on the other arm so I couldn't get away.
  
  
• electrolyte getting up on stage in a big red clown nose and telling the story of me chasing a car down Queen St, and the story about me getting rat-arsed and throwing up on a cop when I was 17.
  
  
• theonetrinity baking me a huge kickass birthday cake with a skeletal hand flipping the finger and the inscription "Happy Fucking Birthday"
  
  
• Doing vodka shots with dozens of people. Doing dozens of vokka shots with 2ndaryairplane
  
  
• Presents! Breakfast, dinner, a DVD from the Ghost in the Shell series, leather rose, hot devil chick mints, a balm for my crap skin, a tarot card box, a stuff-for-new-house gift certificate, a barbarian, books, cards and a hash brownie.
  
  
• Trying to articulate my thoughts about something to scaryladysarah and Justin and suddenly realizing that I had just fallen over the Really Fucking Drunk cliff and that I was making absolutely no sense whatsoever. A sensation to be repeated many times over the course of the evening.
  
  
• Dancing to Bordello and The v_twins. You all rock.
  
  
• caspervonb looking proud, pleased and utterly utterly exhausted.
  
  
• Looking around at the room full of people and all the work that had gone into this and deciding that if I ever got the nobody-loves-me blues ever again, I was going to kick my own ass.
  
  
• A metric fuckton of snow
  
  
• Deciding I was cold and there were never going to be any cabs and just charging off into the snow towards home. (I don't remember how I finally got there. I'm told Kore and electrolyte finally managed to flag a cab and shoved my stubborn ass into it.)
  
  
• the_macross showing up at my house with bags and bags of food and initiating a wild orgy of cooking in my kitchen
  
  
• the_axel taking apart the bathroom sink to retreive my contact lense from out of the drain
  
  
• Taking up three large tables at breakfast and finding out where eactly all those bruises really came from
  
  
• Looking at pictures and more pictures.
  

So I'm thinking that after all that I may need to hermit for a bit. I'm still an introvert at heart, no matter how much I love the rockstar life, so don't worry if you don't see me out carousing for a couple of weeks.

Besides, I'm thinking I'd like to give up drinking for a couple of months. My liver has been a decent, upstanding and hard-working organ and after what I put it through this weekend I think it more than deserves a nice long vacation.

I am so annoyed I could not have been there.

So when you Whitbying again?

Whitby?

Good question. The spring one is too close to C9, and the fall one is too close to Catalyst.

I'd like to make the anniversary if I could, but I'll have to see if I can afford it.

Ye verily, you guys rocketh. :)

Thank-you for the invite, gorgeous. If only, ONLY I could find that secret tunnel that I am *absolutely sure* connects Australia and Canadia, I would've been there with bells (and clothes) on!

Glad to hear you're feeling all dazzled and loved and had such a stonking good time. You deserve it, you know. We all adore you.

Hail to the Sio, baby.

celebratory hugs & wishes,
barbara.

Looks and sounds like you had a blast! What an awesome pack of friends to have!

I wish someone would come over and have a wild orgy of cooking in my kitchen.

And I *love* the idea of wallpapering the lav with pictures. I'm going to put that in my Evil Plans file for future reference. Got a hen party coming up for my best friend. >;)
