woo.. just came home from NEL's Bdae chalet.. dead dead tired.
Went there yesterday at about 7pm.. hauling all my board games there in a cab.. which purpose was totally smashed by the introduction of vodka. Booooo
Anyway we had food, chatting, cake smashing, sea dunking and water bottle drenching on all 3 of our dear birthday NEL. Clearing up was pretty fast, and we all took turns to shower off the cake and grime.
The place was bloody warm and cramped. It was so warm! I was getting very restless, moving from palce to place to cool down.. and the room was a cosy OVEN! Ended up playing drinking games with the alcohol we had. Rosh had to be the winner of the night.. getting high by getting the last King card and "aH-ing" spectacularly at 007. Not to mention when her prayers were answered with that 2 of diamonds card which entitled her to the final last shots of vodka in the bottle.
From then on a failed attempt to play board games happened, and my commentary on the night will have to end due to the fact that i fell asleep. (The effect of killing waves of zombies thru the night with emma finally hit me) But some of the rest continued onto 0 IQ conversations, plants porn, elephants and ants and a certain ant desert somewhere.
And how emma's son gonna be Ali Baba Tng Longlong, and Aaliyah if its a girl. Pearl/Max's kid will have the English name Poh, Chinese name To. So it'll end up being Poh Tay To, or a certain kind of starchy underground tuber we're all so familiar with. Tan En, will also be known Tanen, conveniently transformed into a Scottish name with a Scottish accent thrown in.
Hrm.. while typing all this an idea came to my mind. Its pretty clumsy to refer to stef & ed, pearl/max or ben and laur. So I shall come up with a collective noun for each of them/us.
Pearl/Max becomes... Pearx! (pronounced 'perks')
Stef and Slug becomes... Sluff! (thinking of 'steffed' but not catchy)
Ben and Laur becomes... Lauren! (pronounced 'laur-and' not law-ren)
yay!
p.s. I got called "Uncle" for the first time by a 3yr old. Not even past 21 yet. sigh.
