Enough near death experiences...

Well, what an interesting New Years celebration.

Learnt the drinking game Kings. I quite liked my rule, though. If you sit down, you have to take 10 drinks. Proper drinks. It was quite funny to watch the 5 other drunk people swaying trying to avoid their chairs.

But that was later in the night.

The first few near death experiences were all from Ness driving. Only one was encouraged by me when a horrible song came on, and I requested that she kill us while we're still normal. It was actually a very fun drive.

Then we got in the pool. Almost drowning because I slipped with Ness on my shoulders, couldn't get my footing and when I finally did, she leant forward to get off my shoulders and let me breathe. But she's a lifesaver, so I wasn't too worried.

Then a trip to the hospital. Not for me, though. I stayed in the pool. Poor Ness and her gigantic arm bee sting, though.

Then there was jumping in the pool during a lightning storm with everybody, while drinking Beam and having fun.

It was after this that I was taught the game of Kings. I don't remember exactly how to play.

Ace - 7 Black: Drink that amount of mouthfuls from your own drink.
Ace - 7 Red: Select any person around the table to drink that amount of mouthfuls from their own drink.
8: Make you're own rule that must be followed. (The 3 rules we managed to make were:
1) Whoever says "What" must then take 8 mouthfuls of their own drink.
2) No sitting down. If you sit down, you must have 10 mouthfuls.
3) No females are allowed to talk at the table. If they did, for every word spoken, they had to take 3 mouthfuls. [there were 4 females, and 2 males playing.])
9: Topic card. You choose a topic and go around until someone goes out.
10: Thumbmaster. Any person with a 10 may put his/her thumb on the table, and the last person to do so must have a mouthful. This can happen at any time during the game, unless a person is already drinking.
Jack: Fountain. The person who recieves a Jack card must start drinking, followed by the next person, until every person at the table is drinking. You may only stop when the person before you stops.
Queen: Queen Bitch. You make a selected member of the table your bitch, and they must do whatever you command.
King: A glass stands in the middle of the table. The first 3 Kings must poor their drink into this glass, until it is 1/3rd full. When the glass is full of whatever concoction of drinks the Kings have chosen, the final King must drink it.

This game is subject to change, depending on the group of drunks you're with.

And then that guy went nuts. Screaming and raging and just going generally insane. The girls were terrified, I didn't know him well enough to try help calm him down, so I just positioned myself between him and the girls.

What made it even worse was when he got pissed off enough to get in his car and attempt to drive off, completely smashed off his face, swerving all over the road. We called the police to catch him beore he hurt anyone, but luckily he came back for his phone and his friends were able to calm him down.

Luckily, he didn't stay the night, but he did come back this morning to apologise for his behaviour, to everyone. He's coming to Merrijig with us, but has sworn off the alcohol for the trip.

We leave tomorrow, and I still haven't started packing. Holy crap! Eep!

It's going to be a fantastic trip. I can't wait.
