After the success of Anthony's Playboy Birthday party, we were afraid New Years Eve would be a let down, but luckily there was another group of people like Alice that showed up, and others like Brooke who couldn’t. This made it a completely different dynamic and new kind of success.
CRANIUM:
To start off, Dicke showed up with a "Got a sister?" t-shirt because he's dating MattyMat's little sister--lol. Dicke was on my team along with Trouble (Jess), but Dicke was quickly replaced by Amy because he abandoned the team for other fun. I laughed when Nicole wasn't allowed to see some of the cards because she's too lame to play. Oh I guess I should tell you the game we were playing, Cranium.
Damn those hustlers. We were destroyed by the expertise of Fox, his girlfriend, and Steve. I lacked the ability to recognize the songs by their titles, and they were simple, like the fittingly appropriate New Year's song. The most amusing card drawn was a club Cranium (all teams draw) and I was forced to draw "plastic surgery" so I drew Amy wanting a boob job. I’m such an idiot. Amy would have gotten it I drew an ass reduction--lol.
Before we knew it, the countdown erupted without Dick Clark. Earnestly, Me, Julia and the others around me attempted to start from 50 seconds, but we were only in sync for the last 5 seconds, damn you alcohol. Since State College had a fireworks display set to go at midnight, we migrated to the balcony even though Kate's mom forbids her from going on balconies because she thinks it’s dangerous.
What could be dangerous about fireworks? Well maybe when we started lighting our own fireworks and Anthony dropped a Roman Candle and almost created a balcony of fricassee friends. Lucky for me, I couldn't tell what danger was occurring because I was making a video, until I felt Amy hands clenching me like an eagle on its prey, screaming along with others from behind. I'd like to think Amy was trying to pull me back to protect me and not just trying to use me as a human sheild, but nobody could save Julia from her own drunkenness.
Drunken Julia lit a Roman Candle with a sparkler, and in her drunken state, she thought she had to relight the Roman Candle to make it fire multiple times. Finally when her Roman Candle was exhausted, Julia refused to believe it was over and kept trying to relight it. Then, in drunken splendor, Julia turned to the people on balcony and asked, “Did we miss the countdown?”--hahahahah.
Granted I can't say the liquor didn't affect me. Well I could say it, but lying makes baby Jesus cry. In my liquor induced happiness, I wanted to make a sparkler smile so I stuck two in my mouth and was getting antsy when the picture took a while took a while. My favorite of all the videos made New Year's night was when I captured a successful launch by Anthony but lost firecracker in the air so I turned to the real display and jokingly said "Wow look at that big one!!" --I'm such a goof.
Unfortunately Amy had to work the next day so she took off shortly after midnight. I told her the drunks drive slower than they normally would, so her best chance was to drive as fast as she could and kiss her cows for me when she got home to the farm. Somehow Anthony translated the recipient of that to kiss a Kitty, which then went perverted, right up Amy’s alley.
Since the fire fun was still within us, when Central New Years was celebrated by Conan O’Brian, we decided to make Anthony finally eat his belated birthday cake so we could play with the fire. Unfortunately, we lacked a lighter so we used a match to light the first candle, and then use that candle to light the others. This routine would have worked but when Anthony went to blow out the match, he also blew out three candles. After we finally had all the candles glowing, the ‘F’ candle I used to light the others broke so Anthony’s cake read "Happy _ucking Birthday" like we censored it. Anthony assured me though that his birthday wish was not censored.
After cake, Julia was "tired and wanted to go home". At least that's what we sang to her as mikev and MattyMat carried her out the door. Meanwhile, Nicole refused to let the party die so she initiated a new rule. If you stand on the throwing line for the dart board you have to line dance. Dicke, Steve, Trouble, Alice and Nicole carried on this silly dancing for quite a while.
By the time it was Mountain New Years, the dancing died down so Nicole got into a long distance dart match where people got points for just hitting board. No so surprisingly, a drunk freshmen took over the role of puker for the night, I mean she had hiccups. We dubbed her drunk persona "Anthony" [a play on us calling Anthony, Nancy when he's drunk.]
Before we realized it, it was Pacific New years and we were ready to call it a night. Since we already did the marker on someone's face thing last night, we decided to make a video of MattyMat snoring and put it on the TV. Then we made a video of MattyMat snoring which panned up to the TV that was playing the orginal snoring video. Being a computer engineer, I realized this could become recursive infinity so we called it a night.
In honor of the Greeks let’s do the Roman numeral count down:
.X
..IX
...VIII
....VII
.....VI
......V
.......IV
........III
.........II
..........I
(now if you can do that in 10 seconds on New Year’s eve, you need to drink more)
