I am a hurting unit.

Friends

Lots of new faces at the stag, but a bunch of people I knew as well, and a few I haven't seen in a dog's age. The Greek's parents were there (always great to see them) and his future parents-in-law (his father-in-law-to-be, the man who got me hooked on Metaxa, bought me a shot of it). Mister Lips was there, with way more hair and a much bigger smile than the last time I saw him. Dive Bunny was also in attendance. She wasn't able to stay for too long, but it was great to be able to see her again. Going to have to have her over so we can catch up. And of course, Filterless Jay, now as ever a one-man party.

One of the Greek's lovely fiancee's co-workers asked me how I knew them, and I said that I was a friend of the Greek. We went to school together, I said, and then lived together after that. Oh, you're one of the roommates, he says, you guys are infamous. Infamous, I like that.

Drinking

Oh my god, the booze.

Dancing

My brother is a dancing machine. He's got a gift. I don't have even a little bit of it, but I do have the endurance to keep up (mostly), and I have enthusiasm. He wouldn't let either me nor my lovely wife off the dance floor for long. And the Greek, of course, is Greek, so good luck keeping him off the dance floor.

There was one dance in particular in which a bottle of Ouzo was placed on the floor and shots were done. I learned with my first shot that I can't just grab it in my teeth and drink it without using my hands; it didn't work out so well. Subsequent shots were performed manually and were much more successful.

Food

There was a good spread put up, and a cake which had a ladybug and a clown fish on it. The cake was yummy. There is more of it in my fridge. Wolfgang ended uptaking home a large quantity of food, because it was just going to go bad and, being a poor student, his fridge has much more room in it than my fridge does.

Status Update

I am still a hurting unit, but a happy one.
