Oops forgot to post about my 18th birthday. Probably the only exciting thing that happened.
Last year I invited a few friends over to my house and we played games and had a few drinks and that was about it. But this year I was kind of preoccupied with summer school and forgot about it until 2 weeks beforehand, and I really couldn't be bothered doing anything about it. But Liv and Chris took up the planning for me and promised to take care of everything, and as he said "as if I would let your 18th birthday go by and you writing an essay at home!" So those two schemers planned and schemed the whole thing up, which I thought was extremely nice of them. Not only that but he paid for most of the expenses, which I feel pretty bad about, but both of them were very adamant about me doing nothing at all :S
It was meant to be completely secret, but as well as I know them, they would eventually let things slip, which they all did XD was pretty funny when they were swearing at themselves after letting something big slip.
Well in the afternoon I went to see a friend in the city, who stood me up, so I went back home (sweating and slightly pissed off) and mucked around at home until I got dressed and went back to the city to meet people. I was wearing a pair of knee-high boots that I've had for a while, and I noticed that the right heel sqeaked a little as I was walking but I was like meh it'll be fine. We met up in Replay and played a few games while waiting for people. When most people were there we went to Madisons, a Korean kareoke bar/club. Since we didn't have any handy Koreans among us, we had to keep asking the guy who served us to fiddle with the volume knobs, but his English wasn't very good so most of our requests fell on confused ears. The room came with beer, scotch and some food. Our wonderful party planners also brought Krispy Kreme doughnuts and Baskin and Robins ice cream cake ^____^ A big thank you to those two <3
One of my friends knew the manager at that place and he very kindly shouted us a round of free drinks. After we used up our kareoke time, we went into the club adjourning the kareoke place, but it was still kind of early and absolutely deserted, so we decided to waste time at a pub them come back. We went to a pub down the road called Gilhooleys, were I got a free cocktail ^^ But pubs are so NOISY! We were sitting around a table and we had to shout at each other all the time. There was a live band playing and a mini dance floor, where people got up and mini shuffled around. I taught a few people how to play 十五二十 which had mixed results but was pretty fun still, minus all the yelling I had to do when teaching them. My bro took me dancing on the mini floor, and he's into all that modern jive shit which includes lots and lots of spinning. So me, being slightly tipsy, on 4-inch heels and no clue what he was doing, was getting dizzier by the second. He was pretty good at leading me even though I missed a lot of things, and being spun around a lot made me lose track of time so I can't be exactly sure how long we were out there for. Wasn't until I suddenly felt very unbalanced that I realised the heel of my right boot had come off XDDD So I was limping around on a heel-less boot for the next hour or so :P
Ermerm people started leaving so the people that stayed went to Pancake Manor. The guys played pool while I just chatted with Ann, who I meet pretty much once a year on brithdays now. And that was about it :P Very eventful, and much in debt to those who would not let me go without a proper eighteenth celebration.
