My Law Family

I have three sets of parents. My real parents ofcourse, and my two law families. My official law family are lovely. Mum is a sweetie, Dad is a sweetie too, but conversation with both are limited to general "How are you-ings" and "Hope things are ok-ings". My true law family are I think my ball committee 'lovelies' as I like to call them. We have spent the last term organising what I think has been the most succesful law ball in the history of the law social calendar. It was such an awesome, fabulous, (insert appropriate superlative of adjective) event, although much of it did pass in a drunken haze. It was good to the tee. Considering the hard work we put into it. The hours we spent running to and from the venue, traumatic visits to Ikea on a Sunday afternoon, cutting and ironing tablecloths after a few glasses of red wine, and ofcourse our very productive meetings at Starbucks. Sigh, am really gonna miss those! I think Anns summed it up the best way. We have become a family, because we have seen each other through a traumatic experience! Lol, well the stress leading up to the event was nothing short of traumatic. But everything turned out so well, that at the end of the day, it was all worth it. The people I met on the committee are all such fantastic individuals, and I'm so happy I have made some amazing friends. Oh yeah, and have acquired myself a new set of law parents. Lol. My new dad and I shared a rather interesting taxi experience. Both very very drunk and thought it wise and economically-viable to take a taxi instead of walking 2 minutes in the wee hours of the morning. Did I mention that we were drunk? Lol, and the funniest and most random was when he got out of the taxi, was gone for 30 secs (leaning out of the window) and popped back in, nodded me safely home and drove off into the night. Bless, a true gentleman! Altho the taxi driver probably didn't think so!
What a night. The place looked fabulous. Anns' creative foresight pulled off a fantastic ambience. The food was good, the music incredible, and the people looked gorgeous. The alcohol helped ofcourse, and drinking on the tab earlier was advised. As it did run out rather quickly, considering the drunken state of about three of the committee members (yours truly included) would so aptly reveal. Those very three members, left on a bus, and missed out on the post-party cleaning up. Getting home was a blur, and the last couple of hours at the ball itself was a blur indeed. Lol, probably a good thing, considering I have now been given officership of 'Drunken Hussy' on our 'Premiership-Standard Law Ball Committee 2006" group on facebook! Exemption clause: absolutely no liability for my behaviour on Friday!
