"Stitched with love from Sarah"
Once upon a magic kingdom, Sarah Goddess was gracious enough to hone her thespian theater skills to hand stitch an Ingio Monyoa costume for Halloween. Per my request, the goddess embroidered "Stitched with love from Sarah" on the inside pocket. Since that famed weekend of fencing, the costume reemerged with alterations to form a peasant look for Maria. This was later corrupted by Jackie and Elise to form a porno peasant look for their quest to create 18 sexxy pictures for James' is now legal 18th birthday. Like a phoenix rising from its ashes, the costume was reincarnated from my pile of used Halloween clothes again to create a Mexican costume for Brooke's Mexican themed party.
MEXICAN THEME?:
Though I ended up being the only person dressed up, there were several sombreros for people to wear, a tacos buffet, liquor-laced watermelon, and lots of alcohol to make everyone feel like festive Mexicans.
BIRTHDAY SHOTS:
Now I don't want to say Brooke drank a lot, but if someone took a sample of her urine, I think they'd find a lime in it. True to the theme, Brooke took my suggestion to take a tequila shot chased with a lime which I video taped on my digital camera.
"But wait, you didn't take a body shot!" Okay, Brooke agreed and downed another shot, this time taking it off of Anthony.
"Good job but you forgot to kiss him at the end silly!" Not to call upon the wrath of the Aztec god Coatlicue, Brooke chased the third shot within two and half minutes with a kiss and sealed her birthday fate.
CIRCLE OF DEATH: "Shit doesn't rhyme with log"
Now that the Bday girl was buzzing, we got into a group on the ground and played a card game entitled "Circle of Death". Our variation of the rules goes as follows:
First spread all the cards face down around a container (in our case it was a Kool-Aid powder can) so the cards overlap and form a circle. Everyone takes their turn, followed by the next person in the circle going counter-clockwise. On their turn, each person draws a card from the circle, does the necessary action described below, and then puts the card on the container with two corners hanging off the edge. If the player breaks the circle they must drink; also they must drink for each card that falls (if any) when they put their selected card on the container.
The Card Actions are as follows:
2-8 black->Drink, you drink the respective number of sips drawn, example a black 4 means four seconds of sipping
2-8 red->Distribute, shell out that number of sips to one or more player(s)
9->Sentences, The person who draws a nine must says a word. Each person afterward has to repeat the words said previously and add their own word to create a partial sentence until someone misspeaks.
10->Categories, example "types of vodka", then everyone has to name something unused that goes into the category until someone fails
Jack->Never have I ever, example "never have I ever kissed a girl" then everyone who has ever kissed a girl drinks. In the abridged version the drawer of the card comes up with one, whereas, in the extended version everyone takes turns in a circle to come up with one.
Queen->Questions, the drawer of the card must look at a person and ask them a question. That person must respond with a unused question posed to someone else until someone messes up
King->Ruler, drawer of this card negates any previous rules and can make a new rule (any limitations to rules should be stipulated before game play)
Ace->Social, everyone drinks
BE WARRY OF THE KING:
Of course, circle-of-death the game started out light with most people trying to make sure the bday girl had enough to drink. 30 seconds later, that goal was achieved and Kate and Brooke did the Mexican Hat dance in honor of Brooke being plastered. Soon Brooke reached "passed out" like status, but we have to give the girl lots of props; she amazed us all when we were on sentences, she rose from her grave to repeat the sentence and add a word properly.
Eventually the game escalated with the rules after the first King was drawn. The first painful rule was all girls drink when a red card is pulled. That got escalated to girls loose an article of clothing, which wasn't too bad when socks were coming off. Eventually it led to Amy in a bra hugging me for protection and Kate holding her bra unhooked in front of her chest. Since they were troopers, and some may say we put some cards back into play when the pile was knocked over, I thought it was appropriate to be a benevolent king and made the rule that girls had switch clothing with a guy which was a little easier when I picked the king.
WHERE DID BROOKE GO?:
For Brooke, the alcohol was so good it came back for an encore, by way of her stomach into the toilet. In the end, the infomercial marvel KABOOM was around to clean up. During the hours Brooke was hugging the John people were forced to pee off the balcony until Lauren, the neighbor, came by and we used her bathroom.
I WIN!?!:
During their shift of baby sitting Birthday Brooke who was praying to the Porcelain Mexican God, Amy and Anthony played "I win you loose". Basically this curtails two people declaring victory over the other until one messes up or busts up laughing. Even though Anthony had the best comment of "I've taken a blind taste test and 9 out of 10 people say you loose", Amy won in the video clip I made. I might also be voting for her just to give her mad props for being able to clean up the spilt salsa in the living room earlier so Anthony wouldn't notice. Of course I busted out laughing and gave up the ruse.
RECOVERY:
By the time Brooke rose again, a lot of people were gone, blitzed before midnight. We had some cake, opened her presents, but didn't eat the tiramisu that Amy made [damn, i love tiramisu!!]. I re-gifted a yellow Wal-Mart balloon my coworkers got me and printed out my famed birthday report which includes, what signs are you, what does your name mean, what happened on your birthday type info. Also I gave her a pimpin' Picardi key chain.
Happy Bday Brooke, and remember, all kewl people are born in October.
