I just had one of the BEST weekends of my entire life. Starting on Friday I went on a Media Studies school trip to an outdoor/backpackers holiday retreat...place. However our media studies class has only 10 people in it! And at this time of year we literally had the ENTIRE place to ourselves with only 2 teachers who were pretty apathetic anyway to look after us.
Now what happens when you put teenagers ranging from 16 to 18? (Well no one was 18 yet but one of the guys is 18 on Tuesday) You can probably all make a guess but this is the story of my weekend.
Before going to this you have to understand firstly WHY we went and secondly the CONDITIONS of going. The reason was to go with the media studies class to shoot our practical assessments in a secluded environment where we could stay up till midnight filming if need be doing night shots and so on. Was this accomplished? The answer is...Yes and we have some great footage I'll tell you that as well as some bloody hilarious out takes. E.g. I run along a wall, stop, and shout, “POLICE FREEZE” before running again to catch a bad guy. However instead of stopping I slide on leaves for about 5 feet shouting "F|_|
The terms on going were set out in a contract, which we all had to sign which said the following.
During this trip the following rules apply:
> There shall be NO alcohol brought onto the premises or consumed out with
> There shall be NO drugs brought onto the premises or consumed out with
> There shall be NO sexual relations on the premises or out with
> There shall be NO smoking on the premises or out with
And I'm sure there were more but they were the three that stuck out in my mind.
As I said we had to do this filming and we all had A LOT of fun doing it really having fun, getting the work done and just basically getting to know each other better as the age difference has also been a factor. We don't go out with the same people, share many of the same friends and so on so it's always been a sort of social divide...Well this weekend that just went out the window. We all got along SO well it was great! I don't even play football but I played in at least two matches a day and even in the kick abouts I played scoring a fair few goals which I was proud of. We also played basketball, which I'm MUCH better at and it was good too.
In the room next to the gym though was the poolroom. We also got those free cardboard cups from the machines that gave us free coffee on the site and decided...ok 20p a game isn't much but we'll con them out of some money by sticking 12 cups in the 6 holes of 2 tables. Game after game we just had a time that was just immense. One of us also brought a CD player with speakers and a big CD collection so we brought that down and ended up dancing around snooker cues and just generally mucking around for hours. On Friday night this only lasted maybe 2 hours before we decided to go back to our rooms and getting pished but it was still great as we even convinced a girl I know who doesn't drink to drink and she was hilarious drunk lol! She was soooo much funnier than me and I'm like a non-stop record when I'm drunk. Quite quiet when it's the day and I'm sober but when it's night I'm pretty active...well I was there and when I'm drunk I make up for lost time by talking to everyone for hours on end lol.
One of the best moments of that night from what I remember was when I bet her she couldn't stand up and walk about with all the vodka she had decided she enjoyed now lol. I said I'd give her a fiver and she attempted to stand up, fell backwards and smacked her head of a cupboard lol! The entire room laughed their heads of it was great. She didn't hurt herself or anything it was just so funny when she fell back on her bum and burst out laughing herself.
She claims she had about 6 shots in 45 minutes so we all started saying she had a problem and made a joke about having to cut off her supply but then we turned around and topped her up again because she A) asked B) she's a mat so of course we would anyway and C) because we love her when she's drunk. Worthy cause. The funny thing was only 3 people in the room where drunk despite there being up to 10 of us at one point and having a stash of 1 and a half litres of Grants vodka, half a litre of cinnamon After Shock and a two litre lemonade bottle was full of Vladivar too. We all had a little but only me, one other guy who was that guy in the group. You know, THAT guy, the one who is the best looking and is the most popular lol? Well he is also very funny so it was those 2 and me that were wasted.
He was getting really annoyed though when he was drunk and saying the strangest things. "Where has he gone? and him? I think they're gay" lol it was so funny because they were both sleeping in the bathroom next to him. He didn't mean anything he said but it was funny. He just kept pacing the room constantly calling everyone "Depressos" for wanting to go to bed at like 3 am lol. By that time me and him were fully awake but the girl I was telling you about had gone back to the her room with all the gals to have randy guy chat or so I was told later lol. ANYWAY yeh he was just ranting and raving about who his best friend was and who he hated and why. I think his best comment which I was told just today actually was he said to one of us "I have a lot of respect for you because I've known you for years" 5 minutes later "I don't have any respect to you because I've never met you, hi" the scary thing was he had had just under a litre of vodka over the entire night so it wasn't even acting.
Later on during the night when we finally did get to sleep though he did something so foul and disgusting that you would only do if you were drunk or living in a "watersports" centre. LOL we had a right laugh about that, it was just unbelievable! Earlier at about midnight he had taken a slash in the sink but during the middle of the night he woke up and did it all over his bloody bed before going back in and sleeping again lol! EUGHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I didn't see it because it was at about 5am when I had passed out but everyone else was sober and two of them woke up and saw. The mattress was still moist and foul in the morning. It was probably just a rumour and they poured water on him during the night but he had 8 glasses of water in like a minute before he collapsed on his bed. We all just laughed it off but he got a thorough ripping despite the fact only 2 people saw it and it probably is just a rumour they made heh.
What else happened...oh yeh! That guy also got Pepsi, toothpaste, mouth wash and something still to be identified put all over his sheets by one of the girls lol. She did it in a cute flirtatious way so we all just laughed it off again. Seriously the weekend was crippling me with laughter by this point.
Oh me, that guy and another guy who is also cool and I like decided we'd have a fully clothed shower with the girl I was telling you about earlier. I would use all these people’s names but doubt they'd appreciate it lol. Anyway yeh it must have been about 9-ish when they decided to do it for a scene but didn't bother and I just decided to do it for the hell of it. It was such a good laugh, we were all in the girl’s shower getting covered in water with girls and guys and the teachers didn't even do anything! They were so lazy lol. Worked out for us though considering if we got caught we'd be royally fcuk'd for all of the above.
Oh god it was funny stuff. Another thing I found funny that wasn't is the fact that we all got on so well! I mean I went to sly a fag with the two guys that were smoking all the time, I said no but they asked me if I wanted to come along and stuff so I did. It was well good because we all just got to know each other so much better and had a great time.
This was funny though! That girl I was talking about earlier, not the drunk one but the one who brought the 2-litre bottle of vodka. She didn't get drunk just tipsy but honestly she is like the NICEST person EVER! I mean she's really good looking but I always thought that she was a bit stuck up and just basically totally the opposite of what I am. At one point during the middle of the night though I think this was the Friday night all the girls snuck through and she came up to me, grabbed my hair and said that I was really funny but I had to be quiet when I was drunk in case I alerted the teachers. Anyway she was really funny and I like her now but before I didn't really know her.
Heh heh a great thing about last night! I got even more smashed than the night before and so did the girl I said got drunk the first night and we ended up having a gel fight lol. She used some to do another guys hair but I said that we should get to do something to her hair as payback. She put some in my hair and mucked up all my hair so I squirted some in her hair and once it was on she just agreed to let me. I gave her bloody dreadlocks lol. It was minging but funny stuff.
What else can I think of? Oh yeh the food! lol It was minging! Everything ended in the word "steak". "Ah right boys, what do you want fae tea? Yae can 'ave chipsteak or fish and chips?" lol I got the fish but the chip steak actually was foul. No one had a clue what it was and we all ended up laughing about how they probably dug up the pet cemetery they had and served that up lol or maybe it was the staff served on a plate! There were only 3 women who gave us the food and only 1 woman who was a kind of cleaner as well and stayed all the time. We always mocked her. She NEVER smiled at anything it was our mission to make her smile even just a little once. I eventually made it happen when I asked to borrow something from her in the kitchen. When I told everyone else they burst out laughing for ages. I said "I made her smile today actually, she was giving me a butcher's knife at the time so I don't think it counts though" lol. It was so funny because I had to borrow the knife to film to do homage to Psycho and we laughed because you could just imagine a grumpy old woman like her having a plan up her sleeve to knife us or something.
The best thing I'd have to say about the whole weekend though was the song we all sang when we were pished. It started of when that really popular guy I told you about said "And all that jazz!!!" and did the hand movements lol that was funny but he thought it was from one musical when it was from Chicago or something so he was corrected by the girl that kept getting pished with me to sing the song from his musical which went "Life is a CABARET!!". After that he sang it all the time with hand movements and everything and we joined in whenever we wanted. It was the jingle of the weekend and it was just hilarious.
I did however discover something about myself while I was away though...I learned that firstly drink is like a truth serum. I kept just saying everything completely honestly just because I was asked. I also swore twice as much, couldn't stop talking I just waffled on, I was often sarcastic and I just kept telling everyone how much I liked them all now. Everyone got annoyed with the guy who didn't on the Friday that I told you about, the popular guy but that was because he was saying nasty things too and I honestly like everyone who went on that trip a lot now. Was a great time. They're all either great people or great people who are also funny as *insert swearing*.
Anyways that was my weekend. I just got a lift home about an hour ago and I am so tired. Breakfast was at 8 each morning and sometimes we didn't even go to bed until 3-4am. With all the sports and filming I was doing all day too I was knackered anyway and little sleep made it worse. I haven't had that bad a hang over each night though. I never get headaches anyway just all the other symptoms, d'oh! As I said though I had such a good time I don't care.
And that sums up some of my weekend although I would bet money that I will remember SO much more but that's all I can type right now just to give you the general idea. Make comments, ask questions and tell us all about your weekend. I really want to hear about all your funny stuff too. This whole weekend has put me in a good mood like no other.
P.s. I realise I have used "Lol" and "Heh" a lot but I hope I haven't used smileys although if I have I apologise. I am still feeling tired and hung over though so that'll be my excuse. I am better than I was though now I've had some medicine and stuff just in case any of you care...

Thank you, it probably hurt her a lot now I think about it but it was one of these things that sitting there you just have to laugh lol. It was great when I was playing football this morning before we left. As I said I don't play so I'm crap but I got the ball, I stopped it then someone charged at me, I knocked the ball behind me somehow and still tried to kick it so I just went flying and landed on my back lol. Was a lot of fun. Was my own fault for being hungover really heh.

You should have been there Mojojojo, you all have to do something like it. It's such a strange thing to get to do but it really was class and I advise you all to do it. Anyone can b...adger off to Ibiza or whatever and just drink all night and lie near death all day.
You go to a holiday place... we're barely allowed to leave college at all.
That must have kicked some serious ass, I actually want to go again next year just because this time was so good. It wont be as good next time though because there was only 10 people this time and there's already 35-ish tried to get onto the course for next year and the max the course can have is 25 I think so I'd be going with people all my age who I know. It's much better to meet new people and really get to know them than just be flooded with people all of whom you know and I know some of my friends wouldn't do half the stuff we did.
Sounds a bit like my school trip to the Aran Islands when I was 15.
I just sat down and started typing. I still have so much to say but I realised how much it was and stopped.
Thats alot of writing.... Too much.
