Monday, April 21, 2003 for all you who didn't know, adit's 21st birthday was on the 19th of april (easter saturday) and we had a rockin' surprise party !! he didn't know abt it of course 'coz being the (non-scientific) genius that i am, i managed to keep it a secret for almost half a semester =)
funny bits of the evening, ved and adit skulling a shot of eric's crazy chinese vodka .. stu skulled a shot too, but only much later 'coz he arrived late. this contributed to the deep and meaningful conversation about nothing that roy and ved had. it also contributed to the "u know you've had too much beer when the beer tastes like shit .. hey. get me another beer".
also: ved did a "croatian folkdance", gwin terrorized the neighbours (*slurry* heeeeey .. d'you want to come over for a party ??), ciaran and roy made a penis out of flesh-coloured clay and roy walked around with it hanging out his fly. sometime during the evening though, someone threw the dick across the room and i stepped on it by the refrigerator at about 3 in the morning. *EEW* !!
