SURPRISE!

New Years in Wales! How freakin sweet does that sound?! I'm so excited. We got out of the car and were immediately greeted with all the "Oh my god!" and "I can't believe you're here" shouts of excitement. They guessed right. Musta been the "smile like sunshine" that tipped them off. (Actually, they said my facebook gave it away. Thanks Alizza) oh well.

It was so nice to see them all. Met up with Sophie & Jake who are still together after camp, Danielle Andre, and Tom David (security '08). Needless to say, the night was destined to be an absolute blasty blast.

Anyway, we got there and of course cracked open a few to celebrate this joyous occasion. After playing some catch-up, Marc tried teaching us a drinking game called Snaps. It was a bit complicated for our simple little heads, so then Kerry (Marc's cousin) tried teaching a game called Ping Pang Pong which I just couldn't get the hang of for the life of me even though the rules were simple: Going in a clockwise direction, one person starts off and says "Ping", the person to their left says "Pang", the next-left person says "Pong"  and has to look at somebody in the circle. Whoever they look at has to start it up again with "Ping" and then it repeats. Obviously if you fail to "ping", "pang" or "pong" on cue, you have to drink. Quite simple...for everyone else.

So me being the sly dog that I am, I change the direction of the game and suggest another game...with nothing in mind, Jake suggested the well-known card game of "Kings", "Ring of Fire", or "Circle of Death" (all the same game, different names). Sophie being the excellent host she is, gets the required deck of cards. Except these cards are special to say the least. Each card is a different sexual position. An interesting choice Sophie. I had trouble focusing on the game at hand with such vulgar images in front of my virgin eyes. But I obligingly played the game.

We didn't make it a full game before all our ADD kicked in after the double-double rule (courtesy of yours truly), Kerry's thumb rule, the classic "in my pants" rule, and some other rule which eludes me right now. I'm not sure how but then I noticed a tube (yes, a tube!) of Ham & Cheese. Silly Welsh. So Tom takes a bunch of pictures of him eating this amorphous ham and cheese...paste. I put a bit on my finger to try and needless to say, absolutely awful. As if I expected otherwise. I still blame it on the Welsh.

On the road...forever

Met up with Marc, Hannah, & Marc's cousin, Kerry (a dude), in the coffee shop. Had a bit of a chin wag for a little bit and now I'm in the car on the way to Cardiff. It's about a 2.5-3 hour drive. Marc is getting texts left and right from Sophie & Jake trying to figure out who is his "mystery guest" is (for those who don't know who that is, that's me). We're trying to give them dodgy answers but Jake is a smart one. Marc, being the genius he is, gave the clue that his guest is "5.5, brown eyes, and a smile like sunshine" ...i think the sunshine part was a giveaway. They guessed it was me, but he brushed it off. We'll see.
Even if they figure it out, it doesn't matter. It's going to be an effin awesome time. I haven't seen any of them since camp (with the exception of Jake Brown). I'll post some pictures of the aftermath after new years. For those who wish to give me a call, feel free, my number is still the same while in the UK but keep in mind that there is a 5 hr time difference (ahead of the US). So I may very well be passed the *#@)%$ out. If so, either post a comment on here, shoot me an email, or I'll phone you tomorrow. Miss you all.

BM: corn!

Patiently waiting

So its new year's eve and I'm still in London. I just got off the tube and am waiting in a coffee shop in Mordon waiting for Marc and Hanna to pick me up. They're running a bit late. Cafe mocha please!

I'm bored and killing time playing on my iPod touch. Luke said that he wants to go to the UK Apple store next weekend. Should be oodles of fun.

While I'm waiting for them, I might as well give you all the picture I promised before of Jenna in her prime with her ugly ass fake tan shite. (see below)

More to come soon.
