Earmuffed: Guns, Liquor & Synced Stomping

As you may or may not be aware of, last Friday was my sweet 16th. Being the party animal Teacup is, she organised a birthday party for me last Sunday. I don't know why I'm not blogging about it, but here's Van's version of it:

I have a really strange habit of choosing outfits to wear on the day that I am due out with it. It’s also known as pure, disgusting laziness. Whilst I have never doubted my sense of style, I have hardly ever been particularly proud of things I wear out because it was pulled together at the last minute. It surely doesn’t help when nature acts against you and give you overly crappy weather which makes outfit choosing even harder because you’ve got limitations.

When Alex, Gary & I finally arrived at Sophie’s house, after many minutes of walking uphill and trying to avoid getting mugged by Bankstown gangsters, we were greeted by the rest of the crew. Sophie’s house is very cool (temperature-wise), which is nice and allowed us to recover from our heat strokes, or maybe it was just my largely and rapidly deteriorating state of fitness.

Dance Dance Revolution.
Those are the priceless moments that no words can describe enough, you must see to believe. Thank God Teacup had the synced stomping recorded so I can freely muse over it for the lonely days to come.

Truth or Dare/Spin the Bottle (well, in our case, it was Spin the Gun)
Well, if I told you the game went perfectly fine and smoothly, I’d be lying. In fact, there were a lot of interruptions and pauses which we could have done without, but nonetheless it was memorable. I think I was the only one that chose truth – I just wanted to stand out.
Someone was dared to go ask the next door neighbour for toilet paper. Another person was asked to go tell the gangster downstairs that his hair makes her hawttt. Someone also came up with the idea for Sophie to shove her hands in the smashed wall, and swirl around, which could have been potentially dangerous but then again, we are dare devils. Besides me. Whatever!

Make-Daniel-a-Pimp.
Self explanatory! See photo, please. We weren’t quite successful, and shall attempt again to get a perfect pimp shot next time the opportunity arise.

All the girl's faces had to be blurred out. Everyone either looked drugged, drunken, or recently punched in the face.

Buffet Dinner
It was unreasonable that we paid $19 + @2 drinks for dinner, but we are young and we are stupid. It was not bad actually, considering the amount of food (which were good quality as well) made available to us. Not only that, it wasn’t time constrained like many other buffet places. They had like many categories of food and a large variety. Too bad I’m such a stupid idiot who is too choosy about her food to take full advantage of everything on offer.

Hike to Jessica’s House
I’m not sure why we decided to hike to Jessica’s house in the first place, but I think it was a combination of many minor reasons. Anyways, Teacup, Juicebox, Gary, David & Daniel tagged along with Jessica & I to Jessica’s place

After disgraceful flying abouts of skirts everywhere due to hefty wind, we decided that we would change to something less scandalous. And so, Jessica & I did. I borrowed her colourful sweetheart cut dress and she got into short shorts – they were somewhat scandalous still if you had asked me but it was much better than hugging your hem to avoid flashing unnecessarily and embarrassingly.

Liquor Store
It’s kind of intimidating that a family friendly video store is located at the heart of a semi abandoned liquor store but that was exactly how it was. We got into the store, to the shock of Daniel, David & Gary.

“You’re underage!” says Gary
“OMG, it’s a liquor store!” says someone else
*Daniel silently slips away in fear & shock*

That was before we told them that it was a video store if you look closely – they came in silently and amused once they realised this was true.

Now I'll leave you with the rest of the photos:
