HOLY SHIT. It's past midnight. That's why it's the 18th. Right, I've got it now guys. Don't worry.
Now that I know what day it is (I believe it is currently Thursday) I can continue on with the bits and pieces of my last few days that I actually remember. Now, a disclaimer. You may read this, and assume I did some silly things under the influence of alcohol. I was drunk, but not once did I lose control of what I was doing. The days and times are just jumbled up because I don't pay attention to it anyway.
Now. Let's start with Monday night, or what I shall refer to as Monday night. I was talking to a person over facebook chat. He was a guy who I sort of knew from years back. He was a few grades above me in high school. I added him to seee if he would accept. After seeing the friend request, he sent me a message asking if I knew him. I did what any decent internet stalker would do, and I avoided all direct communication. I'm a stalker, not a talker.
So I ignored this message, and completely forgot about it. He added me anyway, about a week later. Monday night, he starts talking to me on facebook chat. It's basically just me saying "oh, no I don't know you, I just stalk you, but not like hardcore stalking, since I don't know anything about you". I think he was dissappointed at my fail-stalk. I don't really have much to add, but I'll keep you all in the know.
What else happened? Monday night... Tuesday comes next I think. So I do nothing for most of Tuesday. I decide that I'm going shopping for booze and shoes (booze and shooze?) So I text people, and they're all lame and doing exams and other stuff that responsible people do. Fuck that. So I go to the bus stop, and I wait. I get on the bus, off the bus, and I start shopping. I don't find any decent clothes, so I look for new shoes to go with my old clothes. Unsuccessful. I get gel inserts for my old shoes instead. I also get a new town-bag. Town-bags have some pretty specific requirements. Has to have a long strap, not be very big. Has to match outfit and shoes, MUST have inside zip pocket. Anyway, I got one. So I've got my shoe stuff and a bag, so now I need booze. I go to Dan Murphy's, the alcohol grocery store that I may have mentioned previously. I buy my drinks, totalling $136 (to be fair, $100 of that was because I wanted cash out).
After that, I catch a bus home, and get in the shower. The Cleaning Nazi comes home and screams at me about going to the dentist. The appointment was at 4pm, and it was about 3:15pm at the time. So I screamed back. I got ready as fast as possible, and she kept screaming, until she realised me were going to be 45 minutes early. We go to the dentist, normal dentist stuff happens. They say I have crooked teeth, and that I should go to the oral hygienist, but I can't get an appointment until next year. Oh well.
Go home, and I do my hair and makeup. I put on outfit 1, then outfit 2, then back to outfit 1. I show the Cleaning Nazi, and I get the thumbs up. Then she does some weird gesture towards my breasts, so I change to outfit 2. She tells me she likes outfit 2, but 1 was better. So I change again. Then Dad comes home, and there's more breast gestures, so I stick to outfit 2.
I get ready, and we pick up the friends and go to one of their cousin's friend's place. So, a friend of a friend of a friend's place. I didn't know any of them. My solution? Get drunk. And so I did. There were faces being made at me, but I was drunk, so who cares? I know what they were probably thinking, but oh well.
I was talking to some guy about his tattoos. On one of his arms he had a sleeve of norse mythology symbolism. At the top near his shoulder, he was telling me the wolf was Thor. Now, I may have been wasted, but I knew damn well that the wolf in Nordic mythology is Fenrir. I just hope he knew that, and was simplifying it for me. He then told me about the tattoo on his chest. He reckons it was a Nazi symbol, but it didn't look like any kind of Nazi-related imagery I've ever seen. Just the term "Nazi tattoo" had my friends wide-eyed with horror. I wasn't fussed, since he was full of shit anyway. He also had an Autobots symbol on the back of his neck. Now that's just lame.

When it got to around 9 or 10 at night, the maxi taxi turned up. I didn't want to waste drinks, so I sculled a few and shoved one in my bag before I left. We got in the taxi, and went to town. We went to Cactus Jack's, a mexican themed bar and restaurant. They have $9 jugs. Of course, this asks for many jokes about how I don't need their jugs, I have plenty of my own. I was talking to some guy called Grant I think. He was 28, and a former geography teacher, now a union representative. Weird, I forget that 28 year olds are still young enough to go nightclubbing. In any other situation, 28 is not old at all. In night clubs, its just weird that I socialise with people 10 years older than me, and they aren't condescending douches to me.
Anyway, we meet up with a bunch of physiotherapy students (the friends I'm with are physios). They go about their usual business, and I try to learn their names. That goes fairly well. I also start feeling bad about the fact that I never mentioned my plans with the bf, so I do a bit of drunk dialling, and he knows exactly what's up.
Now this is about the point in the night where I stop taking note of the order of events. We leave Cactus. I see a bunch of people I know, and one of them has a pair of dice (die?). One of them has an action (tickle/rub/kiss etc) and the other has a body part. I rolled them, and got an ear massage. Nice.
I ran into that crazy guy I talked about AGES ago, the one who started crying when I left to go home. He tried to get me to go inside with him, but I had to find my friends, who I had somehow lost. I found them again, then stuff happened. I don't even know. There was a guy called Troy with a lip piercing, and he asked if my boobs were real.
Skip ahead in time, and my friends are getting pizza. I find the guy with the dice again, and I hug him as if I hadn't seen him an hour earlier. There's some old guy called Gino talking to me. I'm not very nice to him, but he's like 50-something. I don't have to be nice to old guys hitting on me and trying to buy me pizza.
Then I don't even remember what comes after this. Not because I was blind drunk, just because all the clubs are pretty similar, and I haven't been going long enough to tell the difference.
Somewhere around this time, my friends are trying to get into contact with Danique. I may have even called her, and I called her a pussy. Quite a lot. Because she refused to come to the other side of the street, where all her friends were. Pussy. She went home at like 1 I think. That's what she said in the message she sent me. I think. I may not have read it. But anyway, I last until 3, when we all pile in the designated driver's clown car and go home.
I wake up this morning, and I stumble around as if I'm still drunk. I can't feel my toes. Other than that, I feel pretty good. I get on facebook, and everyone else who was out that night is doing the same as me. Assessing injuries and eating strange things for breakfast. I do pretty much nothing for the rest of the day, until 6, when I go to work. One of the girls I work with was out in town with me, and I saw her a few times. Apparently I kept telling her about how the gel inserts in my shoes were falling out. Sure enough, I went from 4 at the start of the night, to 1 at the end. So I wasn't doing any drunk rambling. It was all true.
Now, that pretty much updates you from Monday, all the way to now, which is very early Thursday morning. When it's daylight, I think I'll go shopping again. Thursday night, I believe there may be some sort of a plan for going to a tavern, or the uni club or something. I don't know, but I'm all for it, since I'm not working.
Now, it's like 1am. My parents aren't too happy about my weird sleeping pattern, but who cares. I get enough sleep, just not at the same time as them. As long as I get to work, I don't think it should matter what I do for the rest of the time. I'm going to end this here, since I can barely keep my eyes open.

I was at a Christmas Party! I couldn't just leave, and I'd promised other friends I'd hit the clubs with them.
