Yep, so yesterday, 'twas the end of college for Christmas (though I hadn't been in since Tuesday)
There was a media students night out, staring in Wetherspoons and going on to God knows where. My college mates weren't going, so I took my mate Fos along. Wetherspoons was the most packed I've ever seen it. Took five minutes to fight through the crowds just to go for a slash, and as usual, people kept pushing in so getting served at the bar proved difficult. Had three pints, then a double vodka (we always get funny looks when we order double/triple vodkas, with no mixers or anything) The people from my college had long since left, but I didn't care. Mate and I went next door to Yate's, where I broke my lifetime vow never to drink Aftershock, by having a shot of the green. For some reason they were served in test tubes and not the ickle plastic shot glasses... crazy.
Wasted £1.50 on a Spot The Difference game (got pretty far the first time, but it got rediculously difficult) Had two more pints, then a double vodka and Red Bull (again, I broke my drinking rules by having that)
Some drunk girl came up and felt my bicep as I sat talking, pint in hand. Then she came back and squeezed my ar-, um... butt. My mate was urging me to go after her, but I decided to play it cool. As usual, I played it so cool I didn't do anything... Hmm... Anyway, she came back and asked if I was alright, then went back to her table with her ugly friend. So we swaggered over, and as soon as we got there, ugly friend began telling me her friend was very drunk. She didn't even talk to me, she was too busy trying to find her phone, which was somewhere on the floor. "Burk this" says I, and we swaggered away. Yes, we like to swagger around like we own the place.
Time for last orders, so we got another pint in. As usual, though, they started throwing people out as they're drinking, so we only got half way through them before the bouncer's tone of voice got aggressive enough for us to know it was time to go. Got in a quick game on one of the bandits, of which I never win. Mate won £5, after putting about £1 in. I demanded £1 of the prize, because I stood next to him as he did it.
We got thrown out at about 10 past 11 (despite the signs on the wall saying you have until 20 past to finish your last drink) We wandered to the metro/train station to get the last metro home. Realising we had a 13 minute wait before our metro came, we decided we had time to go expel some urine. Only the toilets were locked. So we wandered around the streets, trying to find an open McDonald's or pub/club. Found a club which was still open, and we asked the bouncers if they had a bog we could use. They said yes so we went in, and as we did, they stopped us and said "You do know this is a gay bar, right?" We looked at each other, and left in a hurry.
Wandered the streets some more, now both desperate for a slash. In the end we both went in a rough looking (but closed) pub's front door, surrounded by CCTV cameras. Nice.
Went and got a taxi, came to £8 (more than usual, the bar-stewards) Both went into mine, and I made some pasta for us, as my mate (who'd been drinking all day) was a little worse for wear. We ate the pasta, watched some TV, then went to bed. Stuck him in the spare room, then I stuck my brand spanking new widescreen TV in my room on, and drunkingly watched Conan The Barbarian on Sky Movies Max. At about 3am, I put X-Men on, and at about half 4 in the morning, I went to bed.
Was rudely awoken at 9am by a cramp attack in both my legs (sick of them) Can still feel it in my stomach, but I have a good hour or so now before I go and see Lord Of The Rings with two of my mates, so I should be fine. And tonight? A 6th form party at a pub nearby, arranged totally by 16/17 year olds, so they need some old and responsible looking people there so the owners don't throw 'em out. That would be us... I guess.
Woo, two weeks of no college (not that I was going in anyway) Think I'll make a start on the huge written assignment I have...

Ironic, considering most Sixth Form Do's are just a pee-up in a bewery :)

We get our double or triple vodkas in half pint glasses. Makes you feel a bit womanly, holding them...

Does everyone who does media have a party or something? We're all going out Saturday because no one had the money for Wednesday.
They serve the aftershock in test tubes by me too, weird.

I always end up filling in the blanks for other people. My memory doesn't get messed up quite as bad as other people's, so I often get people asking me what they did, heh.
Had to tell my best mate Wal TWICE that he'd hit me and busted my nose that night we got arrested. He still doesn't believe me...

Fantastic read. :) Real nice style of writting there.
We had a Media last night do in Hampton Court. It was good fun but I don't seem to remember much after 11pm. :)
