Having a Party or I Can't Stand Annoying Drunks
So last night was the big night... the big time party that I had at my place to celebrate no parents. I sent out a ton of invites and was a tad worried that too many people might show up and take the event out of my control. In the end about 20 people were there, so it wasn't too bad at all.
To prepare, I baked 2 cakes; each confetti but with different icing. One had pistachio pudding and chocolate chips while the other had lemon pudding and coconut on top. From the reactions of those who ate some, they were delicious. I also had plenty of chips, salsa, peanuts and a few other assorted cakes (orange meringue, chocolate peanut butter cream, and double chocolate). Food wise, we were a go. I had also ripped a ton of my CD's to the cpu and set the thing up downstairs for a good musical selection.
The whole thing started about 9 o'clock when Brad, Ashleigh, and Erin showed up. They are really more Stobart's friends then mine, but they are cool enough. Now Erin was a girl who I was starting to become interested in last year when she was with Brad and Ashleigh at a few events. I never got around to asking her for her number or anything back then, because I assumed that she'd be hanging out with us more... Well that kinda never happened and I hadn't seen her in a year. She's definitely more attractive now but unfortunately has a boyfriend.
Ritchie, from work, was the next to arrive and he brought some homebrew beer that I never got around to drinking... Rob then showed up after work and we had a small crowd happening.
Once the entire Stobart youth showed up, the thing really started to kick into high gear... It was mostly chilling and chatting though. Then Lee, Dave, Jay, Megan, and Kari came and we officially had a party!
People were eating, playing Donkey Konga, and DDR, and drinking... The place soon split into two camps, with stoners being in the basement playing Donkey Konga and the drinkers being upstairs... drinking...
I had a good degree of trust in the stoners to not break anything or do anything stupid, so that meant that I had to monitor the drinkers... They began to play a drinking game.... I knew it was downhill from there. Ryan tends to get really loud and obnoxious while drunk. So while they all played their game, I was chatting to Erin which was pleasantly stimulating. When one of the drinking game rules became to give me a purple nerple, I decided to leave the area. Erin and I adjourned to my room to listen to some comedy records... That was my first mistake... I had an inkling that the drunks would soon make that uncomfortable and awkward. We were just sitting and talking, you know having a mellow time, when the drunks would come up and ask things like: "Are you making your move yet?" or "You guys DOING it yet?" They would also peek around the corner occasionally. Where I got really mad was when Ryan came into the room with Mark and proceeded to try to demonstrate how to put the moves on a girl in front of us. If that was all that happened, it would have stayed in the realm of annoying and embarrassing... but then Ryan blurted out some things that made both Erin and I mad. First of all, he asked her if she had a boyfriend (to which she replied yes) which prompted him to say "but I heard he was a big asshole." Now, he had this info given to him second hand from a direct source. Erin did not know that this source felt this way about her boyfriend, so she became understandably upset. Ryan then tried to blame Andrew for the gaffe. After that he started to talk shit about my past relationship with Karla, saying that I didn't know what I was doing sexually and he was going to help me out with Erin... Luckily I don't think she really picked up on what he was talking about, but it was quickly apparent that if we remained separated from all of them, things would not improve.
We joined to stoners at that point and continued to have a great conversation about philosophy, politics, martial arts, and God. Measured by my talk with her, I had a great time. It sucks that she's attached, but oh well.. you snooze, you lose.
Anyway, during all that nonsense, the stoners were having a heated Donkey Konga tournament. They made a tree and everything! I wish I could've joined in, as it seemed like a lot of fun... that and I really like hanging out with Tyler, Kari, Lee, Rob, Jay, etc.
Throughout the course of the evening, the drunkards, which included: Ryan, Tina, Andrew, Mark, Nicole, Ashleigh, and Brad were continuously setting off Ryan's car alarm. This might be funny at 12, but not at 3 am... I'm surprised no neighbors complained... At about 3:30 ish, that group began puking (only in the toilet and sink!), and passing out, so became no more of a problem.
I ended up driving Erin home and we exchanged MSN names to have future discussions and at about 4:30 ish began kicking people out. I had originally said that people could crash here, but changed my mind after some of their behavior. I had no desire to make space, or cook for them in the morning. Lee drove the downtown people home (which was awesome) and Tyler and Kari got a ride from this girl they brought (whose name I never really had a chance to get). Ashleigh and Brad were ok enough to drive home, and the Stobarts all live within walking distance. I gave Tina a ride and booted Ryan out the door (sort of). By the time I got back home and cleaned up the mess, it was 6 am.
All in all the thing was a rousing success! Although I'm a little peeved that some promised attendees were no shows (Melissa, Anna, Kaylyn, and some of their friends...) Their presences would have upped the girl quotient at the party immensely! All I really wanted was to not have a sausge party... and it while wasn't quite that, I would have preferred more ladies in the house.
I am now tired... luckily I got called into work for 8 hours tonight! Yay!

I'm not sure how to spell it, but her name is Haley. She works at Company C with Tyler. Actually, she pulled off the biggest upset of the tounament by beating Tyler, who was undefeated at that point and would be her only win.
- Lee
Awesome party man. You know who else never showed up? Gemmell and that crew, and they said they'd be coming down. Losers. Oh well. A very fun night was had by all though. I really hope Ryan didn't cause bad feelings between Erin and Brad/Ashleigh, although I have a feeling they have some talking to do now.
Wow, you sound like a better cook then me, judging from the sounds of your cake making skills.
:P

a pertinent person who happens to be at the centre of this little hubbub of distemperment would like to say that his comments were made in no way to anger or upset present attendees at the party and his behavior was conducted in good faith to continue the creatively entertaining current of the crowd. though he does apologize for any bitter feelings as a result of his actions and just hopes everything works out for the best. also, he does not recall challenging Ian's alledged sexual inadequacy, and if such comments were uttered, he regrets direct or collateral damage wrought.
btw, this individual had a most excellent time at said gathering though paid dearly in the hours and daylight to follow :( yowza! not fun, not fun at all. i think Rob's got something with this whole non-drinking life angle. well, that's the long and the short of it. btw, if anyone was "booted" around through the course of the evening it was certainly not said individual. you know, that crazy party animal air guitar playin running man stylin cool mo dee. you know it homies.

Get a life you fuckin alcy loser.
You were an idiot last night and continue to be one today.
Dude, being under the influence of alcohol does crazy things to people... I don't hold anything against you past the time it happened. I was pissed off during and immediately after the event, but not now.
In response to the last anonymous post:
If you're going to put someone down, at least have the balls to sign your name. You aren't impressing anyone.
Now let me demonstrate how to sign your name. It's done like this.
Cheers!
Stobes, who loves a good ho down
PS. It helps to put a cool closing like "Cheers," or "Best Regards." Oh, and the horrible spelling doesn't help your case very much.

next time we meet call me down to my face and we'll see who the low life idiot really is.
