So Many Birthdays!

Yesterday was my flatmate Kim's birthday, and it'll be Beth's over the break, so we had a big party in the kitchen last night. It was interesting, because I live with some weird people, who know other weird people, so it was like a giant gathering of all the weird UEA first-years and some random exchange students. It was a good time, even though I was tired and hadn't eaten well that day and consequently felt too ill to actually eat any of the food there (entirely sweet stuff. Turned my stomach). It was exciting, because I actually came out of my room and Sue actually came out of her room. So yay. Everything settled down by 9:30, though, because a bunch of people went into town to go the the Waterfront and everyone else just sort of disappeared into other people's rooms. Although someone vacuumed the hall at like 11:00. I also got made fun of for just drinking water out of my water bottle, which confused people: 1. that I was drinking water and 2. because of my nalgene. So I had to explain the concept, and why mine says things like "Coming Out Day" and "Viva La Raza." (It's from the Diversity Celebrations Committee.) So...yeah. Good times. I did not go to the Waterfront, though, because I didn't really like it that much when I went last (it was okay, but I just really don't like clubs at all. I don't dance, so what's the point?) and I was tired and sick. And kind of annoyed with people by that point. So I stayed in and crocheted and watched stand-up on You-Tube. Such is my fascinating life.

Oh, and all the food that's left is still out in the kitchen, exactly where it was last night. Way to clean up after yourselves, guys. (Actually, we're lucky to have Kim, because she's a clean freak. I hate to think what our kitchen would be like if she didn't like to clean...)
