Chris’ Big Christmas Party

I got up around eleven o’clock am with a phone call from Pete. He was just checking on my status for being on call. He also wished me a happy birthday. Reed is covering me tonight so I can got to the party and drink at midnight when I get off call and my birthday starts.

I called Ryan up and we planned on going to Moscow for lunch and I needed to get a couple things for the coroners office. I went to the fire station and cleaned the Rescue from last night. It had gotten dirty and was not cleaned. I hung around the station until I got a call from Ryan that he was ready. I picked him up at Beasley and then we went to Taco Bell. I stopped at Staples to get some paper and photo paper as well.

Then we went to Beasley for the mens basketball game. I only had seven bucks and Ryan did not have any. We tried to get tickets and the lady at the booth said she could not take plastic. So she was saying we would probably have to go to the main ticket office inside. Then I asked if we would be able to sit together if he bought a ticket there. Then she just gave us a free ticket with mine. So we got to sit together and got in cheap.

We sat a few rows up from the court. It was a good game. It was close in the first half, but then the Cougs lit it up. I sat on the side where Drew, one of the cheerleaders, always stands. He is a ten-six-seven.

After the game Ryan was going to go see a movie. I went to my office to hand out for a while. The party did not start until about six o’clock pm. So I got online and chatted with some people as well as checked my E-mail.

As it got close to six I went to Dissmores and got some cookies and some corn dogs. I went to the liquor store and got some mini-bottles of tequila for a birthday shot with people. I also picked up a few things I was low on.

I went to the party and there were a handfull of people there. As the night went on more and more people showed up. Pretty soon it was packed and people were having a good time eating and drinking.

Then later in the evening people started to take off. But there were some plans to play some games. We played Dirty Mind followed by Wheel of Intoxication. Midnight hit close to the time we were playing wheel of intoxication. I passed out the shots to people who wanted them. Tref, Chuck, Susan, and I all had one. I actually had two. Tref toasted to my birthday. I also had a couple glasses of beer.

While playing Wheel of Intoxication there is a space called CHUG OR DARE. Chuck got it and thought it said HUG OR DARE. So he got up quickly and turned to Vinnie who was right next to Chuck. He gave Vinnie a big hug. Then we realized Chuck thought it said hug. We were laughing so hard. It was the funniest thing. We played a little while longer and soon people were pretty much gone. We finished off the game with one more round then the party was breaking up around one-thirty in the morning.
