House Warming Party

I'm slowly reaching the conclusion that Taipei and scooters is just not a good combination. After getting up early to drop Brian off at school i had the whole morning free to get things ready for the house party. At 9:30 i was home and ready to begin. However, a sudden, overwhelming, feeling of tiredness struck me and i had to lie down for a little rest. This little rest turned out to be longer than expected. By the time i arose it was already 11:00. I decided that a trip to 101 was in order to buy some of the fruit and salad for the evening. However, finding a parking space near 101 is a complete nightmare! 25 minutes of driving around to no avail. By the time i found a space it was time to pick up Brian. Not only was i mad at the fact that i had wasted an entire morning but he was also not in the best of moods after his MOCK test either.

Anyhow, we finally bought the stuff we needed for the house party and headed back home by 4:00. Some of his friends came early to help with the re-arrangement of the house and preparations for the party. While that was going on i decided that the rooftop needed a bit of a makeover. Therefore, i spent the best part of an hour weeding and re levelling a small area. It was hard work but and I think doing the whole rooftop is going to be a rather lengthy process but one i want to sort out for sure. I'm sure it will be worth it in the end when we can relax out there in the summer.

Well, back to the house party. People were suppose to arrive from 7 onwards but nobody arrived until 8:30 and about half the people as planned attended. We ordered four big pizzas and made salad along with extra nibbles. Rachael and Xena were the first to arrive followed by Ivan, Richard and then James. The evening was great; eating, chatting, and watching Live 8.

Unfortunately i seemed to be the only one wanting to drink. Well actually let me rephrase that, i was the only one that wanted to drink excessively. I have become quite partial to screwdrivers lately and got a little carried away. I don't even remember the last part of the evening but have video documentation from Brian's phone to remind me of just how retarded i can be when drunk!
