I am feeling... 
"Now *that* was a fun night."
Greetings and salutations.....
A great big giant THANK YOU for everyone who wished me a happy birthday!!! You all rule!!!
I had quite a grand birthday celebration... I assembled a select crowd of people (my sister and brother, Becky, Joker, Tim, Josh, Rance, Jessalin, and Ozzy... Annette couldn't come.) and headed over to Windsor for a night of fun. Things didn't go exactly as planned, but then again, nothing ever does. :) I had a LOT of fun, though...
First, we went to Patrick O. Ryan's pub in Windsor for dinner and to hear a band playing that night. My sister Aniela is 21, and she had been to the pub before, so she was swearing up and down that Wesley (my 16 year old brother) could get in to listen. So I trusted her. This was where we found out what a liar she is. The kitchen was closed, the band was playing on Thursday, not Monday, and Wes could not get into the pub at all. So Wes and Aniela pulled this "Whatever, have fun with your friends" shit and left. Fine by me, if you're going to act like that.
(Author's note: My original plan was to bring my sister to Canada, and take my brother out to lunch before his hockey game the next night. But my sister and mother got this whole "you should be including your brother, you stupid bitch!" attitude going, so we brought Wes along, thus prompting the chaos that was to ensue when I got home. Keep reading. :) )
So the eight of us stay at the pub for a few drinks. I started off with three Smirnoff Ices (the third was on the waiter, Brad, since it was my birthday and all :) ), before I realized that I hadn't eaten yet. So after me and Becky got a picture with Brad, we proceeded to Casino Windsor and split up. Me, Josh, Rance, Jessalin, and Ozzy got something to eat, and we caught up with Becky, Tim, and Joker later at the tables. Tim is a horrible blackjack player. ;) Becky bought me two shots of vodka and lime, and all was well in the world. By this time, I had lost count of my drinks and my sanity, and was pretty well trashed. That both puzzled me and pissed me off- I normally have a massive tolerance of alcohol. Damn.
We headed back across the border, and stopped back at Josh's house for a few. Then me, Becky, Tim, and Joker took off for Ram's Horn. Halfway through dinner, Josh called Tim's phone to talk to me, and he told me that my mother and sister had been calling trying to figure out where I was. Whatever, I thought. We finished eating and went back to my house, and the other three took off. My curfew is 2 am. It was 5:45 am by this time.
Well, my mother went mental on me when I got in. So sue me... this is the latest I've *ever* been, and it was my god damn birthday! I guess she forgot to take into consideration the fact that unlike her eldest daughter, I actually bother to come home at all. I also must note that in our house, your curfew increases by an hour on your birthday. Well, my curfew is 3 am, and I was only under 2 hours late. So there. ;)
Anyways, my mom has been bitchy at me all day. Aniela has been bitchy as well, because if she has the chance to take a whole mighty power trip moment, and stick her head and ego straight up her ass, then god damn it, she will. My brother didn't really care in the first place, so he's been normal... and surprisingly, my daddy wasn't really bothered about me being late. Sweet.
But yeah... lots of other crazy shit happened... stuff that I don't really remember all that much. ;) But you know what?
xLady3Janex: oh, i found out why i got so trashed after a few drinks
BeastieGrl182: why is that?
xLady3Janex: that little joyous time in a woman's month where 1 beer equals 4, and 1 shot equals 8.
BeastieGrl182: that's why!!
BeastieGrl182: christ. it's all so clear to me now.
All I have to say is... boo to *that*. :( Oh well... we'll go back again and have more drunken fun. ;)
As for the rest of this break... I've got the usual five or six days of family shit coming up. Me and Josh are seeing both Mamma Mia and the Barenaked Ladies on the 29th. I'm going out partying on New Year's Eve. Urban Plunge is on January 2-4. And Jackie is coming in from Ann Arbor to go partying across the border with me sometime before we go back to SMC on January 13th. Plus, I've still got two papers to write and send in for school, several Christmas presents to buy, and several batches of cookies to make. ::sigh:: A woman's work is never done. :)
Well, I am out of here... have a wonderful night. :)
