Ian drinks while Harry sleeps
Feb. 4th, 2007 04:19 pmFriday night. It is cold. I am in the upper lounge, with a bunch of other people, and am sitting on the floor by the stairs. I go get my blanket for some heat. Well, after a while, between the blanket and my weird sleep schedule (which, at the time, had me sleeping through the evening and doing my work in the morning), I fall asleep on the floor. I actually didn't remember any of this - afterward, presumably not realizing that I had been asleep (unless I forgot it afterwards) I got up, took the blanket with me, and went to lie down in my bed. I don't think I actually intended to go to bed, though, because I left the door open. Well, the noise eventually woke me up a while later, and Amelia asked me if I wanted her to close the door; I said she could if she wanted, and then I really went to sleep.
The next day everyone was telling me about how I was asleep on the floor under my blanket - which, as I said, I didn't remember - clutching a Wii controller! Now I certainly didn't remember that, nor did it really make much sense, as I hadn't been playing anything on the Wii beforehand; that would have required me to get up in (or from) my sleep, go over to the couch, get a controller for no apparent reason, and then go back underneath the blanket and go back to sleep. Apparently John Wood put it in my hands, though.
Meanwhile, while I slept, Ian, quite drunk, was adressing people in very long form. He followed everyone's name (just their first name, though) with their species and sex (e.g., "Grant, human male"), and usually some additional information. (Although once Grant was just "Grant... guy".) Some good ones:
"Amelia, human female, Katif's roommmate" I may have that name wrong, as obviously I wasn't there, and no-one seems to remember just what it was; it was eventually determined, however, that he meant Zafir (who is Aaron's roommate).
Fortunately, someone else has written this one down before me - "Blake, human female, the only one you can go to in a dire situation... dire, meaning I'm in a situation which is not conducive to present activity... meaning, I drunk a lot."
Also, the next day, ridiculous Freudian slip: Ian sees the bag of tea leaves in the study lounge, and sees that the tea leaves have been all ground up. Is there a word for ground-up tea leaves? Apparently there is, because Ian used it (unless it meant something else, though I can't possibly think of what), though neither Grant nor I heard it very clearly. And he asks, "Did someone buy [word we suppose means 'ground up tea leaves'], or did someone grind these up into little penises? - Pieces! Sorry, pieces!" Some have suggested this was no mistake, but I think it was.
As for today, everyone is hoping Mark is still alive after seeing the Bears' loss...
