breakdown of last night

here's what happened to the "going out" nite of yesterday:

7:10 p.m. Jay decides to bring his roommates over to our apartment to "pregame" before we go out. (needed explaination: pregrame = drinking before you go to the bar so that you don't actually have to buy drinks at the bar.)
8:13 p.m. Anna comes into my room with her first outfit choice, which I like, but she nixes
8:26 p.m. Anna comes into my room with her second outfit choice, which we both like, but she decides to go tightless
9:34 p.m. Roxy, Anna, and I are dressed and ready. We watch Sex and City to pass the time.
10:17 p.m. The guys get here - Jay, Kevin, Kevin, Ryan, and Andrew. We decide to play some ridiculous card game. I have finished one glass (actually a mug) of white wine.

After this point, I'm not sure exactly on the timing, but it goes something like this. We play this card game twice. The cards are put face down in a circle and each person takes a turn to draw one. They all mean different things:

7s - point to heaven, the last person to do so drinks

Ace - you get to make up a rule for the game. such as: all guys must talk in Italian for the rest of the game

10 - never, have i ever. this is my least favorite. everyone wants to say some raunchy thing to catch how horrible other people are. and its even weirder with people you don't know. we actually had to define threesome at one point for someone to fess up. ew.

I just realized I stopped using capitalization on that last bit.

Anywho...so this game goes on. I go through another glass of wine (this time red) and have to fill up the mug about a quarter of the way to finish the last game. Since I didn't have a full meal, I'm feeling a bit tipsy. More than a bit actually. Plus the wine is making me sleepy. We finish the game sometime after midnight and then everyone is ready to go out. For me, going somewhere after midnight is ridiculous. That's basically my bedtime. No joke. Unless its an emergency, I don't know if I have ever left my house past 12am for anything.

I made the executive decision to stay home. I knew I wouldn't have any fun. I wouldn't want to drink anymore. The only one who seemed a bit upset by it was Anna, which was very sweet of her. So they left, I took a shower, and eventually got to bed. The other two girls came home around 3:30am...I could hear them making pasta in the kitchen. Haha.

As for today, I'm actually sick. Like cold/flu sick. I've taken a couple DayQuil, which helped a bit...but I'm still coughing up a lung. Hopefully it goes away within a few days. And luckily its the weekend. 'Til next time I have something fasinating to add...
