Happy New Year!

New years was amazing! A guy here organized a real fete with food, drinks (so many drinks) and a moto driver to drive anyone that needed a ride. It was the usual crazy new years madness, I won't go into detail except for one incident in which my dance moves went awry. It was about 3 am, and I went to dip my friend but she was very intoxicated and she face planted into the floor, breaking open her chin. It was bleeding pretty bad, so we took her to the bathroom, where we discovered that she was beligerent and I should not have been performing dangerous moves like that with her on the dance floor. This also reminds me of a similar time with Coll Will (You know what I'm talking about Coll.) So my friend (who shall remain nameless) decided it was a good idea to splash water on the cut, which just made a bloody mess all over the bathroom and her shirt. Right about this time, someone came to tell her that it was time to leave for the bus (they were catching the 4am bus because its an 8-10 hour ride). Timing couldn't be better. So it was time to pull ourselves together. We took her into the bedroom to change her shirt. She was so drunk we literally had to dress her. She also insisted on wearing her “travelling skirt,” so it was a full outfit change. The light in the bedroom was burned out so we were stumbling around in the dark and woke up the person sleeping in there, who was like “Wtf are you guys doing.” Then we sent her off on a motorcycle with her luggage and a fresh outfit, crossing our fingers that she made it to the bus.

So today I got home and there were a couple surprises waiting for me: a dead lizard in my sink, my fridge was completely covered in mold, and my cat was bigger! Also, right before I left, my gas tank (used for cooking) had run out (I was living off peanuts for a few days there) and there was no gas in town today, so still can't cook. Will try again tomorrow!

2011 is going to be great, at least that's what I keep telling myself ;)
