Marathon Week

The past week has been filled with alcohol in every conceivable way. Marathon week is 7 days of solid drinking. Andy almost completed the full marathon with the exception of the last day. This is what I've been up to all week;

Sunday (18th) - Watched Trainspotting II and drank at Miriam's.

Monday (19th) - Hung over for Math 30 diploma... Went to Andy's house for the pool/drinking.

Tuesday (20th) - Went to the Beerhunter with Andy and Kathy.

Wednesday (21st) - Adam's 18th birthday! After going to the Comic Strip, we went to the Beerhunter and had hot wings (as hot as they would make them).

Thursday (22nd) - Back to the Beerhunter with Adam, Andy, and Kathy.

Friday (23rd) - Played halo and watched Viva La Bam with Andy and Adam. Moderate drinking.

Saturday (24th) - Went to Miriam's house and had a beer to finish out the 7 days.

Andy and I should make a tradition out of this, and do it annually.

Avast ye School

The best prank EVER was pulled off by Eden and me. We replaced the Canadian flag at out high school with a Pirate flag. It flew all weekend, but was taken down by today. We have only told a few people that it was us, and they all think that it is hilarious (including one teacher).


It all started several weeks ago when Eden decided we should do something awesome to finish off the year. Originally it was supposed to coincide with grad night, but that didn't work out. Eden was the brains, coming up with the original idea. I was the brawn, climbing partially up a flagpole and cutting the lock (an extremely difficult task). Andy was the rich anonymous billionaire who funded us (bought the pirate flag). Kathy was the eye-candy.

 

There were several difficulties, but we eventually got the flag up. Then Andy and Kathy came to inspect our work. We had some McDonald's ice cream to celebrate.

Bioware! Awesome!

Today Bill Lomax (my ComSci teacher) took our class on a tour of the Bioware building. We saw the perks of working there including a full games room. They have so much neat stuff going on there right now. For instance they are working on a game called Mass Effect, which is going to completely blow me away. I must own it the instant it comes out!


I took this picture on my phone with some of their awards. I apologise for the crappy quality of the photo, and it is a product of the crappy camera phone and crappy lighting.

Kids With Cancer (Not me)

Today Kathleen and I each ran 5km legs in a charity relay for Cancer research. It was quite difficult for me because I am not used to running all that much, and swimming doesn't require me to life my own weight. Regardless I just ran full tilt the whole way. I even caught up to and passed Kathy. She had a 5 minute headstart, but I have long legs and an ego that would be severely bruised if I let a girl beat me (even with a headstart).

The reason I did this is because my mother's friend's husband lost his son to cancer. He is really involved with this race, and every year he organizes 2 teams.



These pictures aren't the most flattering, but you have to remember that we're athletic and this is what athletes look like. Props to Kathy for doing this with me (quite well I might add).

Hannah's Party

Yesterday there was a party at Hannah's house. Miriam, Kathleen, Andy, and I went over and started watching Clone High. We had a few Prarie-Fires (equal parts tobasco and tequila), but Hannah couldn't take the heat. We also took those crazy blowjob shots, and I had some mocha ice cream with kahlua.

I played several games of chess. Andy is a chess machine when he isn't drinking. He showed me a way to get checkmate in 4 moves, but I promptly forgot it. We watched The 40 Year Old Virgin, although with limited interest.

I'm really not sure what's happening between myself and Hannah. She needs to make up her mind and figure a few things out before anything can happen.

Today I went "couching" at The Brick. Couching is when you pretent you're shopping for couches just to go sit in all of them and relax. It can be very enjoyable if you bring someone interesting along.

Grad Banquet/Hotel

Last night was the grad banquet, and an insanely fun time. There was drinking, canoodling (yet another euphamism for sex), partying, and good food.

After correcting Hannah's wardrobe malfunction and dropping off alcohol in the hotel room, we went to the Ledgislature to take pictures. There were many good ones, and a few silly ones. There was a picture of Andy and Kathy lifting up their skirts (a kilt is still a skirt), a picture of Eden, Erin, and I stroking our "beards", and a picture of the group with me lying seductively above and behind everyone on a ledge.

When we got to the banquet (after more pictures) we all sat down in our pre-determined places except for paolo and I. We switched so that I could sit next to Hannah who was my grad date. The food was really good, and we ate stuffed breaded chicken, mashed potatoes, an odd salad-like substance, mixed vegetables, Bakes Alaska cake for desert, and a really good strawberry-kiwi fruit punch. Being a beast, I had the equivalent of 4 plates of food, 3 deserts, and 3 pitchers of punch. I fear no cooties from anyone (even those I had never met before). There were some good speeches (Mr. Peterson's speech made a few people cry), some bad ones (a mother and daughter tried desperately to be funny... and failed), and some great music. The Clap performed two songs (suffering from a lack of a sound check), and despite the volume problems, were kick-ass. Following a dance we all raced (quite literally) to the hotel.

In the hotel we quickly scrambled into normal clothing. Eden put on Erin's hair extensions and they posed together in a mirror image. We also went in the hot tub until my skin all came off and floated to the surface. Eden got in the hot tub by squeezing into Erin's gold sparkly bikini bottom. He also drew on Ben's bellybutton, my leg, and his chest. After a while Erin and Ben went off for sex, leaving the rest of us alone. Eden then made a series of beer bottles into a musical instrument and played songs. First blood was drawn when I stole Eden's glasses. He attempted to twist my foot off in some wrestling move I had never seen before. I'm sure that I could have broken free, but not without severely hurting him (I still had the sense to know that I had started it by stealing the glasses). After that, Hannah and I laid together and napped in various positions throughout the room.

The next morning after cleaning up and waking the sex fiends (with some difficulty), we went to McDonalds to eat. There were several candid shots taken of the aftermath of heavy drinking and little (none in Eden's case) sleep.
