Get Keen, Get Green

St. Paddy's Day 2012

5:50 am wake up and work out

6:30 hit the shower

7:30 head to the MTR to start the commute to work

8:45 stop in 7-11 for snacks to keep me motivated at work

9:00-5:00 work, talking to K1 students about the letter A like its my job (because it is)

5:15 head out to the bar with a work friend

6:17 get a free had and key chain for being in the right place at the right time

6:45 meet up with jenna, becks, and jude

6:50 start drinking jude's homemade 4loco

7:30 go to find some dinner but instead just buy two bags full of booze from 7-11

7:36 find a park bench and start drinking said booze

7:41 realize there is a homeless man who shit his pants on the park bench next to us

7:58 find a thai place with cheap food and that will let us bring in the bag of booze we have left

8:34 make our way to wan chai to Delaney's

9:11 dance irish jigs

9:37 becks found a guy from leeds (her hometown) and he psychoanalyzes jude and thinks she might be a murderer.

10:08 go to 7-11 to buy shots

10:19 jenna sees a young and stupid looking guy, asks if he is in the navy and she is right (fuck, i hate being american)

10:21 stupid navy and his carribean friend offer to buy us our drinks if we take them to a bar, we decline

10:27 we are drink our shots next to a trash can outside of the 7-11

10:33 three Finnish guys come and chat with us

10:48 jenna and becks go back inside the bar to pee and as soon as they leave the Finnish guys start talking about the american education system (seriously, why was i born an american!?)

11:18 jenna comes back and saves me from the political chit chat

11:56 jenna and i go to Carnegies to meet pornchy and her pals

12:02 we leave Carnegies because everyone there is just watching rugby and not being social, so we go to another 7-11 get drinks and wait for pornchy there

12:12 pornchy and pals show up and we have another drink on the stoop outside 7-11, one of her friends paints our faces (st. paddy day style)

12:17 find becks and jude at Carnegies and then all head to Dusk til Dawn

12:42 we run into leeds guy again, we think he is our best friend and want to get his digits (he is also gay, only saying this so you know we weren't trying to get on him, we just really thought he was funny and could be our friend) he refused, but bought us some drinks (and by us i just mean becks because they are both from england

12:58 i meet a german guy

1:03 i tell the germany guy that jenna can speak german (this is not true, she can speak dutch, i got confused) so he tries to talk to her in german but it just doesn't work

1:18 jenna meets a lovely young man named doogle, hahahahaha

1:20 jenna and i are both chatting up our respective interests on opposite sides of the bar (this is important because jenna has my wallet in her purse)

2:19 german guy goes to the bathroom so i go talk to my chingus, i'm convinced he ditched me and go into a rage, becks and jude calm me down, and then german guy comes back, i'm drunk

2:36 i decide to go home with the german but need to get my stuff (wallet is with jenna, phone and passport are with jude, i'm not a real adult so i can't hang on to my own stuff)

2:43 the bar is quite packed, becks bobs and weaves her way through to get to jenna to get my wallet, she passes it off to jude and jude uses her long arms to get the wallet to me, only i'm smashed and distracted talking to leeds guy. jude smacks the wallet on my face a couple times and i just bat it out of the way like a cat.

2:47 finally i remember why i needed my wallet, so i could go home with the german, so i stop talking to leeds guy mid-convo and tell him i have to go

2:55 head back to the german guy's hotel, whatup international traveler!! eventually i find out he is in hong kong on business, something to do with rollercoaster engineering for ocean park, a theme park here, hahahaha. only in hong kong.
