Happy new year (Again)

Anna is a social Animal. I am Anna's friend. Therefore I occasionally decide to enter Anna's world of parties, DJ sets and EastLondoness
Tonight it was a houseparty in Dalston. The theme was Chinese new year. It had food, warmth and a good crowd (Brenda and Cookie were also there!).
Met Anna at her's before running down to the station to pick up Cookie. We were late because we kept forgetting things..First we forgot the champagne, then I forgot Cookie's present (late I know, as I kept forgetting to give it to her!).

Eventually piled on the bus before indulging in Doughnut. Mm, Sugar rush never was so good!
Got into a weird conversation on the bus.
One guy asked out loud how to spell Jewel. Anna spelt it. A drunk guy in the corner then shouted out "How do you Spell "condom"..I always need one during the weekend. Will someone help me out..?!". Some bright spark spelt out "Good luck" before the drunk guy shouted.." Noooo...That is not right..isn't it C-O-N-D-O-M..?".

Bad timing for Brenda who decided to phone at that moment to find out where we were.

Brenda was not the only one waiting. Steve, (Jamie's friend who is Leo and Anna's mate) and some Swede people were coming to. I was a bit intimidated with all the crowd. One to speak I know, as I had a whip in my hands!

Took a while to find out where the house was, but when we got there we were delighted..There was posters to advertise it on the wall (inside as a mickey take), the stair case was transformed into a tunnel so people had to curl up and down it (had cardboard taped to the walls forcing people to go on their knees.) and food. I was happy with the food.
It even had a real fireplace, so I was able to roast and burn various food from marshmallows to chips.
I also was told there is a sweet one is supposed to chuck at people for good luck..Bad times for the other guests.
I did not just misbehave. I was floating around talking to people to. There were 2 people that I really like..Marina who was a bubbly woman living in Hammersmith, and a guy called Paul who talked about everything from bikes to Identity. He had a big discussion with Bee too, which I sat down to listen to.

We did not stay there for long though..The others had tickets to a club and I was tired. At the bus stop it was fun as I encouraged others to whip stuff. Had a mini competition to see who could whip a beer can off the bus stop bench. No one it seemed!

Got home about 2, while the others got home much, much later. Aw well. Start as you mean to go on!
