The New Year is here
The old year is out and the new year has arrived.We tried our hardest to send it out with a bang with the 3rd Annual New Year's Eve party at Timmy's. The boys purchased two kegs, one of Coors Light, the other of Bud Light. The Florez family came down from the "Greatest State Ever" of Iowa. B-Rich and his now About Damn Time Fiance were up from the Hurricane State. All in all the tables were set for a good party.
I arrived about 4 hours ahead of schedule. Perfect planning for an event such as this, the only drawback was that my sorry butt was awakened to go hunting at ten until 6. People started arriving about 8 ish as Timmy was handing my ass at Madden. When the party was jumping, right about midnight, I would have to say that there were about 50 people hanging out at the house. Maybe less, maybe more. For the most part, the majority of the partygoers were fairly intoxicated, excluding myself.
What was that I just heard, the readers of this gasping when I said I wasn't drunk?
Yes, you read that right.
I knew that the combination of little sleep, a 5-6 mile hike and beer consumption would produce the adverse effect of almost a coma like tiredness. I guess I'll chalk it up to being older, wiser and more responsible in my advancing age. I also was busy as I getting cups, collecting money, and playing all around good guy.
There's always drama on some scale at these parties. Drunk people seem to attract drama.
B-Rich's sister and her boyfriend Rizz had some drama that was about some girl touching Rizz. Drunk Kristi was not thrilled by that. I just shook my head as I heard Kristi trying to explain it to B-Rich and I kept eating the oreo dessert I had hidden for myself in the fridge.
The second bit of drama was almost fight causing. Sad to say, there was provocation for it. Some dude and his girlfriend/hookup/whatever were involved in some serious liplocking, or so I was told. Appearantly the two of them, decided to ring in the New Year in JP's room, without JP's consent.
Now, JP was a LOT more than intoxicated, plus I think he may have been a tad baked as Freaky Deaky girl had shown up. Anyways, JP's room doesn't have a lock and so they decided to lock the door with a chair and a table. However, because they were obviously idiots, they just happened to use the table with all of JP's mom's stuff, the collectables and all.
Oh, JP's mom died of cancer when he was 15 or so.
Oops.
JP saw that his door was closed and realized that he had just been in his room a little while ago. So JP pushes the door open and sends this stuff scattering because he had no idea it was being used as an improvised door lock. In a feat of remarkable restraint, he didn't proceed to kill them, but he kicked them out of the party.
Good idea, but the dumbshit had other ideas as they went upstairs into Tim's room.
When JP found out, he threw them out of the party and was only seconds away from killing both of them, but somehow DrunkTim interveened and saved this guy some teeth, because there would have been at least five people going after this guy. After the little "discussion" in the yard, they chose to leave the party.
The next near drama was when Freaky Deaky girl sat down by the guy that Hopper had brought. Hopper and this guy had just spent about an hour exploring each other's tonsils. I believe Hopper stepped out for a smoke when Freaky Deaky girl sat down. I was on the couch opposite her and I heard her ask the guy a couple of questions that went like this:
"Do you want to hook up for five minutes? I just want to make out."
Um hello??!?!?! He just found out if Hopper has any cavaties, no he's not going to want to hook up with you. The guy shot her down so she sat by me. Being polite I just decided to make conversation with her so I asked her how she was.
"I feel like smashing someone's face in. Do you ever just feel like that?"
"Um, no. Not without incredible provocation. I don't usually exhibit that much aggression." I began to look for escape routes at that point. Fortuantely, Florez requested my presence outside, which was lucky for me, For all I know, she could have tried to smash my face in.
Finally, about 3:15, I decided that it was time to leave as I was dead on my feet. It's 33 miles from Timmy's to home and I drove the last 15 with the windows down as I nearly dozed off twice on the way home. I got home about about 4 and within two minutes of getting home, I was asleep. Speaking of which, I hear my bed calling me once again.
p.s. for all of those who have wondered about the time and how it seems to be off, I listed Kansas as part of Antigua and Barbuda, which is in a much different timezone.
