Last night

slycatRighto, I had been planning to go to The Joiners in Southampton to celebrate the New Year with my bro and some friends. I had bought the ticket (Only a fiver) and was raring to go. However, yesterday my brother was beginning to feel really bad with a cold and was getting a fever. So it looked like I was destined to see the new year in on my own, on the biggest party night of the year. I wanted to do *something*. My Dad offered me a beer but I said that it's a bit pointless to drink for the sake of drinking. I wanted to do something social! I was getting a bit depressed at the prospect of missing out on doing something, had my brother been too ill to go say 6hrs prior, I would have made plans to go to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ruination's house party but it was too late now.
Come 9pm, my brother decided that he would go out as he was feeling a bit better. This cheered me up no end and when we got there we had a great time. The music was great (Hard House, Hard Trance, etc) and the people I knew were great to be around. Did a bit of "dancing" which I can only really get the courage to do after a few bottles of Smirnoff Ice, which was fun. I get exhausted quickly due to my out of shapeness however so I didn't dance for too long. Mainly chatted to one of my brother's friends about our ficticious Northern Childhoods and how they were "Champion!", much sillyness :).
I called upacefox at some time around 11pm because I thought it'd be great to let him hear the music they were playing and what he was missing out on. However, it was so loud, I couldn't hear a word he was saying and I doubt vice versa so much a pointless exercise. Make full sense when you're under the influence of alcohol however :P Also, over the course of the night, I got burned no less than 4 times by various cigarettes! None of them left a mark but it was still painful at the time. I now have another reason to hate smokers...
Closing on midnight, I went down to the main dancefloor to dance a bit more and it seemed that everyone else had the same idea. Lots of people were being rude and pushing past others who were trying to dance. It got very crouded and soon it was hard to dance without bumping into someone or getting a facefull of hair. While dancing, it seemed that everyone suddenly started hugging each other and I didn't have a clue what was going on. Some guy tried to hug me bug I just gave him a disgusted look (I presumed he was on E and that's what pill-heads do...) and so he went away. Then it clicked, it must have been midnight! Had a look at my mobile phone time and it was 00:00. How did everyone know it was midnight and not me? I guess I was too busy dancing and not looking at the time. Why didn't the DJ bother telling us or have a countdown? :-/ Oh well, I got into the spirit of it and hugged people I knew vaguely and made my way back to my brother. As my brother was still feeling under the weather, he decided that it was a good time to leave. We got our coats, made our good byes and left.
Was a fun night, not sure if I would have preferred to go to Ruin's party as there would have been more people I know there. Ah well maybe next year.
