The first time

Something prompted me to blog about the first night I got hammered tonight (actually, it was a reference to me being the MacGyver of alcohol (thanks Charp!!) on twitter), so here goes ... hope it might make you laugh a little ...

So, I was 14, I think. I got one of my brothers mates to buy me and my bestie a bottle of Southern Comfort (ew). He was 3 years older than us, so getting the booze was no trouble for him. I had the venue. We lived in the country, and we used to have a caravan in the backyard for relies who came to visit to stay in, kinda like a spare room. Anyhow, me and the bestie got the booze and organised a sleepover. Then we took to the van.

To start with, let's get this out of the way ... I did not have a lesbian experience this night.

I did however get raucously drunk. We drank the Southern straight (how, I have no idea. That shit burns and tastes like utter shit). We turned up the music. We drank some more. After some time we decided we needed to pee. The outside dunny (yes, true country form, outside loo) was literally 15 metres from the van, but NOOOOOO, that would be too easy and lady like. The bestie and I decided the best thing to do would be to both squeeze our butts out the van door (at the same time I might add) drop our daks and pee on the step (classy, I know). At that VERY MOMENT in true 'first time getting pissed without parents knowledge, my dad opened up the back door, which was in direct line of site of the van door to check whether we were okay or not!!!

Needless to say, I'm not sure I have ever been able to look at my dad the same knowing that he saw mine and my besties bums hanging out the van door taking a drunken pee ...!!!

Ah, good times. That van holds soooo many memories for me. It became 'the' hangout for years. Boys were able to be snuck in and with 2 double beds, there was plenty of room!! So many bottles of crappy alcohol were drunk and shared there and so many memories made.

A couple of years ago, after years of decomposing, Dad burnt the van to the ground. All that was left was the axle ...

Burning away the thoughts of what his youngest daughter did in there perhaps?!?!? :D
