i'm just sitting here being a little bit bored while listening to some music so i thought i'd update the blog quickly.
not that much has happened since the last time, we had a family party here last saturday which was quite good, various family members and friends came over to drink, eat food and listen to loud music within the confines of our home.
the most popular beverages of the night seemed to be beer and wine, but i was drinking gin, bombay sapphire to be precise, it's a very nice blend of 10 different ingredients from around the world all ginified and stored in a nice blue glass bottle (this often leads people to believe that the liquid itself is blue, which it isn't), it's very nice with tonic water and some ice, mmm, and i drank a 75cl bottle of it all by myself, then i started on another bottle of cheaper gin with bitter lemon because all the tonic water ran out, needless to say i got just a tad drunk and started talking rubbish.
once the party had died down and most people had gone i started feeling sober again so i went out with my dad when he walked my sister and cousin home and on the way back i started to feel more drunk, which was odd because i usually sober up very quickly which is why i hardly ever drink, but i had never been drunk on gin before as i'm normally a spiced rum man.
anyway, once we got back i poured myself another drink and sat down now feeling more drunk than i had previously, then when my mum and dad went to bed i came upstairs and attempted to type on irc while talking to myself, i also phoned somebody up on their mobile and woke him and his family up before finally deciding to go to bed becaus i felt a little dizzy, this was around 3am, i slept okay until just after 8am when i got up to get a glass of water, a big mistake as i started feeling ill as soon as i got up, but still, i ventured downstairs to see my dad was already awake and sitting in the living room, so i went into the kitchen and had some water then went and sat in the living room talking to my dad while the ill feelings and dizziness continued to worsen, then my dad left the room to go to the toilet and i was just sitting there feeling really ill and that's when i realised that i was going to be sick, so i casually strolled along to the downstairs toilet, bent down and prepared myself for what was about to happen, and surely enough it did, it lasted for about 2 or 3 minutes and then i rinsed my mouth out and went to sit down again, when my dad came back downstairs i decided that i needed more sleep and made my way to the spare room as it actually has a bed in it and i wouldn't be sleeping so close to the floor, i took a bucket and some toilet paper with me.
as i was laying there trying to sleep i could feel something happening inside my stomach, the feeling of wanting to be sick was returning but i really couldn't be bothered to vomit anymore so i turned so i was facing the wall and went to sleep for a few more hours, i felt a bit better when i woke up and had something to eat, i wasn't sick again but i did still feel a bit uneasy and by the time night came i was feeling really ill so i had an earlyish night and felt much better when i woke up and decided not to drink again for a while, not that i drink that often in the first place, that was the first time in over a year i had been drunk, but i think i may stick to the spiced rum in future as i've never had a hangover while drinking that stuff, although i do tend to drink it from longer glasses filled to the top with lemonade and only a small amount of rum so that the drink has a nice light gold colour and so you can only just taste the rum, i couldn't do that with the gin though as we only had two bottles of tonic water, forcing me to drink from smaller glasses and doubles.
but anyway, that's about it for now and i hope to update again soon.
