Planet-Black0psSummer BBQ
Last night was quite an event. Very good event, but partly unexpected. The expected part went as far as a BBQ on the go - it wasnt the weather for it, but ah well. It didnt rain (which was VERY lucky considering the cloud cover, and the way its absolutely pouring down today) so no problem really. I went there expecting a spot of food and a social, and ended up having to stay the night after getting a bit carried away with a drinking game.
Whilst working our way through the food, Hannah decided to absolutely puzzle the majority of us with a not-really-commonly-heard-of trick called "Schnapps is the name of the game", where, someone watching (and not part of the trick) gives a word to one of the two people doing the trick, without telling the other person. The latter person then has to repeat what the word was after a series of clicks. Its clever, but simple how its done. I now know how the trick is done (a google search for it wont really give an accurate description of it). I'm not sure whether to reveal it - that spoils the trick!
Anyhow, the drinking game - probably a common one, but it was good - going around the circle of people - you say a celebrity name, and the person after has to say another celebrity name which, the first letter of his/her first name is the first letter of the previous celebrity's last name. E.g, person 1 says "Viggo Mortensen", then person 2 could say "Michael Jackson". The hard part - in the panic of the 4 second time limit, and the game starting after I had downed a number of triple shots - I could think of first names, but not last names, so 8/10 times, I ended up downing a triple shot.
Lets just say, night time was a war. I was determined not to have a hangover the next day - on came one heck of a nasty headache - one which cannot be relieved from massaging the head, and an awful amount of nausea. I had been told a while ago that the headache is caused by the brain being starved of fluids, so I drank glass after glass after glass of water. That triggered off the stomach, so I went through the process of 'praying to the great white god' (bending over the toilet, purging my stomach with the occasional bad language in between). With that over and done with, and my stomach finally not complaining about its contents, I drank another number of glasses of water. Then came round two. Then more water, then round three, then no water. The headache actually eased off, but the stomach? Nope.
The night was a rather long, un-sleepable, painful one. If I moved, it was an effort not to have to revisit the bathroom. Somehow, with some luck, I did get to sleep, waking up in the same predicament. Everyone else who stayed the night were downstairs chatting about the night before - as much as I wanted to go downstairs, I couldnt move. If I did get downstairs, I doubt id have been well enough to do anything more than just sit there, so I tried to catch up on sleep. Somehow, I did, and by midday, the symtoms were nothing more than the occasional small re-occurance of nausea.
It was all good though - annoying aftermath, but it followed an excellent social.
