Schoolies

I returned yesterday from possibly one of the best weeks of my life. A group of my friends decided to avoid the main and raucous schoolies area of the Gold Coast and simply rent a house right on the edge of the ocean near Nambucca called The Glen.

Nearly every day we went out on the boat, and nearly every day someone suffered some sort of injury. I suffered a badly grazed knee after a seagull flew at me whilst on an extremely treacherous rock, James was struck by a car, Hayley suffered a concussion, and later I was bruised raw by a loose life jacket.

Beyond all that however was my drinking story. Deciding to get drunk I ingested the majority of my bottle of absinthe - a fiery burn which I've learned to love! That wasn't the issue however - the issue began when I was offered the rest of the butterscotch to finish off. Having a gulp or two I decided I could easily finish this - it tasted like a thick gluggy water, and for the alcohol I could easily put up with that. The next morning I woke up sick as a dog however - it turned out the butterscotch wasn't butterscotch - they replaced it with Home Brand Olive Oil. I downed half a bottle of olive oil and didn't even notice O_o
Luckily however I still maintain my record of never having been sick due to alcohol - even when the alcohol is tainted with olive oil =] I never plan on having to throw up to offset my inefficiencies of drinking - and I hope that plan remains in effect.

The Culprit of Smerity's Drinking Story

Overall it was a splendid week. Among other things was the fact that I got up first time in water skiing - so far I've yet to fail a take off =]
