Wow, I haven't blogged since... friday!
Thats quite a while. I must have been doing things.
Friday night was Lisa's 21st. Alex gave me a ride. It was a fairly average 21st I rekon. Probably because I hardly knew anyone. It was supposed to be a 'cocktail' event. That is, we were supposed to wear something a little more formal than a t-shirt. Nobody even drank anything though. I think there was a total of about 3 people who actually drank a drop of alchohol, myself included. It felt so weird... Almost every girl there was wearing a black dress. I think quite a few of them were the same as well. Oh well, it was different, I guess.
We ended up going to pancake palour afterwards. Sat around to 'have a chat'. There were no cards involved. A rare moment to not have cards out on the table when Terence is at pancake palour.
Saturday night was Joce's 21st. I drove, so there was no drinking for me. Not that I would have anyway, since there was no alchohol tab :) I'm always a sucker for free stuff. I didn't even know there was free food for like.. half the night. So sad :( I think I met two new people. I can't even remember their names. I only know one now because he gave me an invite to his birthday, which so happens to be the same as Jane's. Now I have to decide which one to go to. I'm leaning towards Jane's, since I've actually known her for more than 2 hours. The theme for hers is 'Gods and Goddesses', and I don't know if I can be bothered dressing up. I don't have anything! There was just the possibility of going with a lightning bolt strapped to my forehead, but I don't think that'd work. Ho Humz. Free food and drink at both parties. Ho humz, yeah probably Jane's, even though its like in woop woop.
Sunday night was spent at Soh's house, having the LAN session we finally got around to having. Didn't really do much actually. We only played CS, a bit of broodwar, and some warcraft 3. There was the usual bit of leeching, but wasn't really that fun. Decided to come back home around 7:30. Went to go grab a maccas breakfast with Eric, then came home to have a nap.
I've decided I'm quite sick of both lounge/bar birthdays, and LANs. They're both fairly boring, especially the parties if you don't know anyone. The loud music at parties makes conversation almost impossible. I was having one of these 'conversations' with Michael and Grace (the med dudes) at Joce's 21st, and I think I was just nodding and saying "Yeah" to whatever they said because I couldn't understand what they were saying. I thought it was going to go on for like the whole night, but luckily, I had to sign the card, so that saved me. I thought I'd find someone I knew further away from the blaring music.
The fact that I'm not really much of a conversation starter makes these parties especially boring for me. Not only do I not understand most of what people are trying to say, I don't usually make a very conversational response to the parts I do understand. So theres a lot of awkward silences. Remind me not to do something like the typical 21st for mine (that is if I actually end up doing anything).
LANs on the other hand involve too much leeching. Half the time is spend transferring warez, pr0n, or illegal movies and songs. Not that I'm against such stuff, its just that I was under the impression that LANs were about gaming. No such luck. I don't even have any games to play anymore. I don't even see why I bothered. I did, however, manage to grab a copy of some BBC documentary on space. I think I'll go watch it.
