Hi all!

MB hasn't been working for, I believe, Australians since Thursday or something. I was "down for maintenance" and then it couldn't be found due to an error, then it was "down for maintenance" again. One of my friends and another person I found through googleing the issue, both had the same problem. I thought this meant it was down? Then I found out the random person I found was also Australian... orz Then this morning I asked kaze-hime on dA if she knew what was going on, and she said it was working for her. Soooo irritating Dx; Well, moreso I felt helpless, because I don't think there's any way to contact mangabullet without actually accessing mangabullet. But it's back now, so all is good I guess. I just really hope it doesn't happen again. It really sucked. And not being able to contact anyone? That sucked too.

Anyway! It's school holidays! It... has kinda sucked actually, as I have so much homework to do Dx;;; Only one week of holidays left >: But anyway! Last week (it's Sunday now) on Wednesday night, I went to a party. Like, a stack of people from school get together and drink while loud music plays type party 0_o; It's kind of... the last place -anyone- would expect to see me, including myself. I didn't drink at all though, I'm so proud =3;

I'mma write a recount of the event so I don't forget it. But because no one wants to read about that, I'll note where it starts and where it ends.

-----------------------------------------------------START------------------------------------------------------------

It was so fun though xD I got there on time... Whereas apparently it's normal for people to rock up late. So when I got there, there was like... five of us. And that was -including- the two people holding the party. Anyway, beforehand on msn one of my friends, who I shall call R, and I had decided to verse each other in Tetris DS just because we thought it would be random, and he happened to be there before me, so we decided it would be a good time to play. So we versed eachother in Tetris DS until more people showed up. Good fun xD The way the room was set up, there was one sofa on each of three of the walls in the room, and my friend and I were facing eachother versing. We each had someone next to us on the sofa, and they were watching xD I don't know why versing eachother in tetris can be so entertaining, but there you go.

Once a decent amount of people had arrived, we decided it would be best not to play anymore. That was it for Tetris DS for the night xD For a while, we all just kind of sat around and enjoyed the music. Actually no. We were dissing its crapness xD So they ended up changing it. Then it was dance music instead. But that suited us xD Earlier mentioned friend was doing some kind of dance... I think it was melbourne shuffle or something? Meanwhile I... can't dance. Or rather, I never even try, except for para para, and it wasn't really para para music. So I just sat. I had predicted I was going to end up doing that for most of the night, sit by myself. But I was wrong. This guy I recently became friends with and um... kind of maybe like? xD;, came and sat next to me and we caught up heaps, since we hadn't spoken for a few days. He was the one who invited me actually xD And we ended up spending a lot of the night together. It was nice. (For ease of this we'll call him... H)

After a while they decided to get out Twister. Seeing people our age play twister is so, so lulzy xD Only the guys kept being... gross. Oh well. Man, am I crap at twister. It didn't help that I was wearing jeans Dx;; But it was fun. Very fun. I only wish people could have been drunk at that point. It might have been amusing to see. And I'm against getting drunk xD; A lot of the time I just sat and watched, as it was very enjoyable watching even though everyone was sober.

Anyway. After a while H came and sat next to me again and announced he was worried he had had too much to drink and that he didn't want to drink anymore. Thus, I took it upon myself to follow him everytime he went to the bathroom (the drinks were in the bath tub xD; ) and make sure he didn't take any alcohol. Big sister mode on~ Because that's the kind of thing I do to my younger sibs. Except they don't drink xD As annoying as it might sound, he actually appreciated it. Though I might have gone a bit far when I wouldn't even let him have a sip of some wine everyone was saying to taste? Only xD; He was glad he didn't when some guy nearly chucked it was apparently so disgusting. orz I get so serious when I'm in big sis mode.

It was kind of cool though, because later R decided he didn't want to drink anymore either, so H and I both started following him to the bathroom to make sure he didn't take any alcoholic beverages either xD It was fun...

People stopped playing Twister fairly quickly. I was sad. Then it was back to dancing xD I had loosened up a bit by then, I also possibly might have been a bit high on the mood+sugar? xD; R and I were conversing about how he could do that weird dance thing, melbourne shuffle or whatever, like I said earlier, and then I mentioned doing Caramelldansen, and tried to get him to do it with me. Then he made it play on his phone xD What he was doing with -that- on his phone, I don't know. So I started dancing to it. xDDD I don't think anyone but him saw though. Then he switched to Ievan Polka. Lawl R. Lawl.

R did a lot of things that night. All the guys seemed to like acting dirty, and I caught R doing it at one point. So I kicked him in the shins. It didn't do anything, but he faked like he had fallen to the ground due to it. I then continued to kick him in the shins, until finally it actually seriously hurt him xD It still hurt two days later. I'm still amused. Anyway. I succeeded in making him regret his actions. I'm such a spoil sport =D It's kinda fun being able to kick someone though xD;

Mmmm once I stopped bashing up R. -shot- I ended up leaning against the wall watching the party. Yay, on my own again. And it wasn't long before H was talking to me again xD He's so nice... Most of the time we were just commenting on the party and such, but we had a lot of fun. Like, the main guy running the party, who I shall call F, had written these rules. And some of them were stupid. Like, the first one was something along the lines of, "F's word is law". I somehow found a permanent marker xD So we decided to edit the rules. We crossed out rule one completely. There was this other rule which was something along the lines of "Sex is permitted only in the bedrooms. A fee of $5 applies." or something xD We wrote "(optional)" next to that one.

At one point, one group of people beckoned me over, and asked me to grab a shot glass for them. And they were going to pour me a shot. I just said I'm not drinking and that's that and put it back. I didn't want to try the freaky pink stuff o-o; Alcohol can be so weird 0_o; I'll stick to UDL kthnx.

When people started getting drunk, it was a tad freaky 8D;; One girl, was all "Hey Hikaruuuu" (Well no. She called me by my real name. But I'm not writing that here.) "I'm totally WASTED!" and I'm just "...How do you know you're wasted? 8D;" and she replied "Because I feel sick. And when I start to feel sick, I'm wasted." "Okay then 8D;;;" Later on she came up to me and pulled me close to her and was like "You ever been around a drunk person before." And I just said "No o_o;;;" cause I was kinda freaked out xD;; She was acting really creepy. She patted me on the back and was all "Now's your first time." After that she walked off. Luckily I didn't see much more of her after that.

Towards the end of the night another girl was all "Hey Hikaruuuuu. Give me a huuuug" and hugged me. Lolwut. I hugged her back to be polite. Then she was all "Oi Bianca, get a pic of Hikaru and I." (...seriously. Writing hikaru instead of my actual name, feels weird xD) And so yeah... I'm probably on her myspace now. Joy... =/;;; But yeah xD; H was there for all of that, as he was with me most of the night, and he just went "I think she's drunk." And I said "Yep... She never talks to me usually o_o;"

One of the few times I wasn't with H, I went into the room where everyone's bags were being kept. There were a couple of guys who... I don't get along too well with. They were on the computer, which we weren't really meant to be. I asked them what they were doing and they said they were downloading porn. A couple of years ago. No, even a year ago I'd say, I would have reacted really immaturely to this and freaked out all "eww gross". Instead I just calmly said "Oh, really? What are you watching today? Guy on girl? Guy on guy? Threesome?" and they ended up just going "Shut up Hikaru. Get out." So I said "Okaaay~ Have fun looking at your porn." Lawl... I seriously ticked them off xD

The rest of the night was pretty much just me hanging with H. We were picking out music and stuff for the hell of it. Then I had to leave at 11. So early Dx; But R kept commenting D< Because he knoooows. About the fact that I like H. One time when I was making sure H didn't drink anything, R said to me quietly "You're like a married couple already." and later on he was all "Gooo for iiiit." Go for what dammit? Dx;;; Ah well xD; Kinda adds to the fun of the night.

And lawl. My brother picked me up. When I got in the car he was listening to the Rogue Galaxy soundtrack xDDD (Rogue Galaxy is an RPG I got at the end of last year. Like, literally, right near the end xD; It was maybe one or two days before New Years eve. Anyway)

And that was it for the party. Only the next day, I received a message from H. We proceeded to have a conversation over it.

"I am so sorry, but I think my self control may have left with u. :-S :'("
"Uh oh... hangover?"
"Actually, I don't think so, I think I'm still a little drunk. :-S" <--WTF. HOW DOES SOMEONE MANAGE THAT?!
"Wooooooah what. How much of that bottle of your's is left?" (he had a whole bottle of scotch or something. 20 standard drinks, apparently.)
"None. I may have gotten sick, slept in front of the toilet."
"Oh gosh... I should have thought to confiscate it or something... Planning on doing that again?
"No, I'm not doing that again. U'll have 2 be there for any other parties i go 2, EVER!!!!!!!!!!!. Seriously."

xD;; Apparently he vomitted at around 2.30AM and some other people had to clean it up. Idiot idiot idiot. Oh well.

------------------------------------------------------END-------------------------------------------------------------

So yeah 8D That was the highlight of my holidays. And yeah, I'm finally over that guy I liked since Year 8 8D Just... now I like another guy. But I know I have a chance with this one, because he likes a friend of mine who's already taken. Lawl and she's trying to hook me up with him... The point is! He is definitely not gay. And he's trying to get over my friend. So I have a chance! Liking a different guy is really refreshing! x3;

Well... It's 1AM now (IT SHOULD ONLY BE 12AM. DAMN YOU DAYLIGHT SAVING) so I guess that's enough from me. If anyone read through all this... Wow o_o; Thanks for taking the time to do that xD If you skipped through my long recount of the party but read everything else, thanks for reading that much!

It's nice having MB back ;w;
~Hikaru
