New Adventures 20th - 27th

Friday

This Friday was the best night of my life. It was awesome.

The evening started off at about 5 pm with me picking Gareth up and heading out to sort out things for the gig. Take The State was playing a gig at a youth group's formal dinner, and it was the first time the band was playing with Richard in front of an audience. The gig was horribly under-catered for [in terms of sound] but fun was had by all so no worries.

After the gig Gareth and I headed over to Pierre's parents' house for his 24th party. We arrived at about 22h30, and things were going really well. Everyone was wearing some sort of silly piece of clothing and just dancing and going a little mental. Justin was wearing a dress, Mike was wearing some sort of biker top, but it wasn't made of leather so it didn't really make any sense to me, Matt and Tessa were equally well attired with Tessa sporting some sort of horrid tie and Matt enjoying a pair of shorts and a tucked in collared shirt. Gareth was wearing braces and a cap, and Pierre was dressed like Freddy Mercury. His parents must have been big Queen fans...

I on the other hand decided to keep things simple, donning a cape and a backwards cap. We had all just decided it was time to have a great time, and pretty much everyone was slightly tipsy, or in Donovan's case horribly drunk. For Gareth and I the party started with a round of Sothern Comfort, which Gareth didn't enjoy, and then Donovan had everyones because he could. I let Mike have a taste and he enjoyed it. he poured himself one, but got a bit carried away with the glass and ended up pouring the equivalent of 4 SoCos and lime, and then didn't like it. I swapped my drink with his and went outside to escape the dancing and enjoy the view.

At this stage everyone was a bit tipsy except Donovan who was already drunk. A few minutes later I saw Donovan and a British girl who he fancies named Megan wrestling and finally falling into the pool. This was the beginning of lots of fun.

At some stage we all got tired of listening to Queen and Donovan fetched his power metal CD, which we all enjoyed immensly. It was at this stage that I had a glass of wine which set Donovan off on a 'lets pour wine for everyone' trip, and he poured at least 4 glasses for people, which no one wanted to drink. Donovan being rather animated started dancing to this super loud power metal, and downing glasses of red wine. Then things just got a little weird, with Pierre starting to get a little upset with Donovan, who had at this stage taken a towel and started rolling on the floor to wipe up all the spilled drink.

At around 1am the cops came past to ask us to keep the volume down, and most of the people had left because things were getting a little mental for them, leaving me, Pierre, Kelly, Donovan, Gareth, Justin, Stacey, Megan [the Brit who both Gareth and Donovan now had a crush on] and Pierre's sister named Nicky. I don't actually know what happend after that because I went outside and had a few glasses of wine on the patio outside with Megan. What I do know is that when I came back inside Donovan had no shirt on, and his wet pants were so low we could all see his pubes and butt. Everyone was shouting at him to pull his pants up but he saw me and procceded to drop his pants showing me his cock for the first time that night. This would happen a few more times as the evening progressed.

It was around this time that we all decided to just cool it a little. We went inside and had some coffee, and sat on the kitchen floor just having a little chat. Unfortunately for us both Gareth and Donovan were still a little drunk, and Donovan was getting more and more out of hand. We decided that it was time that Donovan get some of the alchohol out of his system and so we sent him to go and throw up. We sat inside having a lovely chat about my blog entitled "Parental Advisory" while Gareth and Donovan sat in the bathroom sobering up.

It was probably around 2:30 that I took Donovan out to his car so he could take his contact lenses out. When we came back Donovan tried to jump Megan, but I managed to pry him off and Pierre and I put him to bed. He was lying on a leather couch but his pants were still wet, so he decided it was time to take his pants off. Unfortunately for Pierre and I he had no underpants on, and for the second time in one evening I saw his cock. I covered him up so as not to scar anyone else, and he promptly fell asleep.

We all sat in the kitchen drinking coffee and chatting until around 3h30 or so before deciding to turn in for the night. Because all the beds were taken, Pierre and I slept on the floor, with Mike and Gareth taking the inflatable matress and Justin sleeping on the couch. Donovan was passed out with no pants on, on the other couch in the room.

A little after that Donovan suddenly woke up, and he looked like he was about to vomit on the floor. Wearing no pants, we guided him through to the bathroom where he sat on the edge of the bath and peered into the toilet before deciding he actually wanted to piss. Then he stood up and just started letting go, before running through the passage and into the now well lit room, urine still dripping off his cock, and everyone seeing his 'flower' for the first time, Pierre for the second time, and me for the third.

After some more comical incidents, including Mike face planting on Pierre, we went to sleep. In the morning we all helped to clean up a little.

On the way home, Donovan was driving through a green robot, but someone jumped the red robot and so he had to slow down. The guy behind Donovan got angry and hooted at him, as he drove passed Donovan, Donovan shouted at the top of his voice "Fuck off you cunt!" and then proceeded to drive next to the hooter and give him the finger while hooting at him. I was like ROFL.

Saturday

Saturday was comparatively tame as all we did was head over to Justin's mom's house for some comedy. We watched some Ricky Gervais and then hung out drinking coffee, and smoking a bit of hub. All the main stuff, but fun nonetheless.

Sunday

Sunday morning I went through to Edge church to see / hear my brother mix for the first time. He has mixed quite a few times at Fusion but never at church. He did a wonderful job and my mom and I thought it was great. The service was not anywhere near as good as his mix though. One good thing which happened was that I got to chat to Sean, a gentleman who is in a similar position to the one that I am in, and it was great.

In the evening we went to Mike's church, Common Ground, and it was great. The atmosphere was really vibrant, and the worship was simple. The best part of the service was the sermon. For the first time in many a week I heard a sermon in church which was almost entirely Biblically based, rather than a nice idea which is by no means Biblical, and then gets spoken about and around for 25 minutes.

After the service we went through to Canal Walk to pick Kelly up from work and thereafter we went through to Mugg and Bean for some nachos and coffee. After the meal we went back to Edgemead and did some rounds. Gareth left us in a rather bad mood and then we went to Pierre's house. I didn't feel so great after the nachos, but figured it'd go away. I started up the hub with a new flavour called 'Double Apple' and it was great.

I'm not sure if it is because the hub was a little stronger than normal or if it was because my body just didn't like the Mugg and Bean but I didn't feel good at all and then proceded to throw up in Pierre's bathroom. After I threw up I felt like a million dollars. Weird how the body works hey? After the expultion incident we all had a wonderful chat while Stacey and Kelly slept, and then went on home at about 2am.

Tuesday

Tuesday was a normal day. I woke up a little late, and then did a little bit of research before going with Donovan to a lan. We played a little COD 4 before I came home and got ready to go to the gig that evening. I had a bit of a rough chat with my parents about what I am going to be doing next year and so I was feeling a little down. We went through to the gig, getting there at a little after 20h00. Zula Bar have a decent setup so we sorted everything out and then we just hung out for a while. The gig went well but I felt that my performance was a little mediocre. I wasn't happy with it.

Tuesday was also Stacey's birthday party so we had a bit of a mental time at Zula too because so many people were there. I got to hang out with a good friend of mine, Val, and fun was had by all. Pierre and I had a bit of a joke going the whole night which made things quite fun.

When we left the bar at around 1am we walked out to Pierre's car only to find that it was missing. Eventually we found that we had walked in the wrong direction and the car was there all along, so no worries. Once we'd found the missing car we were on a mission to Val's house for some coffee.

After establishing that Donovan has bad manners and that calling someone with down syndrome a 'Downie' isn't politically correct we headed home. I only got home at around 3, but it was a great night.

Wednesday
I don't know who wanted to do this, but we ended up going to the beach for a little hang out session to see the sun go down. Problem was that we were about an hour early, and the wind was pretty chilly. After about 15 minutes in the wind we decided to go get some KFC for dinner and then we were on our way. After some shocking behaviour on one of the other friend's part Donovan, Mike and I headed home and Donovan and I ended up at Matt's house playing DOTA. It was ok but not great. We didn't play well. Actually I didn't play badly, but I did make a few mistakes. We just ended up with a crap team. Guess thats how it goes sometimes.
