Damn.
Friday the 13th for the win.
So as I said, last night was Intro Party. Huge party, supposed to be lots of fun. We got there at about 9 and played some beer pong. Keep in mind I had had a beer before coming, but c'mon I do five shots in a row and it only puts me at a stage 3 level of drunk. I was nowhere near intoxicated by 10:30 which is when the night took a bit of a turn.
Solene and I were on the edge of the dancefloor and we were going to cut through to get another drink at the bar. The last thing I saw was that weird couple who always dances stupidly, then my face hit the floor.
I'm not even really sure how it happened. It was like a took a step and my leg just went out from under me. And of course I wasn't ready for it at all, so I didn't have time to break the fall with my hands, hence I broke it with my face.
Anyway mostly out of shock I bolted right up and left the scene of the crime, but I was about halfway to the washroom when I knew that I had split my head open. I couldn't feel any pain which was weird, but it was more like I could feel a breeze where there shouldn't be a breeze.
Anyway I stopped and realized my hand was full of blood, at which point I sat down because, on a normal occassion I can deal with a bit of blood, but blood spurting out of my head I cannot deal with.
Anyway Solene quickly ran and got help and a lot of Intro Team members showed up and took me outside. This is where it gets a little fuzzy. I know a few things 1) Couldn't feel any pain, but was still bleeding a lot, I took my hand away from my head at one point and it was absolutely drenched in blood, I started to freak out a little bit and someone quickly wiped my hand. 2) Intro Team memebers kept coming out interchangeably to what had happened, I felt a little bit like I was making a scene 3) I know at one point I was crying hysterically because I didn't want to get frozen when I got the stitches. I have a tendency to pass out when that happens and it freaks me out. 4) I was really really realllly pissed about my shirt and missing the party, like more than anything else that was happening, that was my biggest concern. Obviously my priorities are in order.
So they were going to call an ambulance for me, but I was not having that, I didn't want to make any more of a scene than I already had. So Merete (an Intro Team member) got me in another Team members surfer van and off we went to the hospital. I did indeed get frozen and didn't pass out wooo. And it was all covered by my CPR number as well, so thank god I had the intelligence to get that the other day because nothing else about this situation was intelligent.
After we finished up at the hospital I was given two options: go home and rest or go back to the party and promise not to drink.
What do you think I chose.
We quickly ran home to grab me a shirt that didn't make me look like I had just murdered someone and then back to the party we went.
Keep in mind that my eye was incredibly swollen from the freezing. So I pretty much looked like Quasimodo from the hunchback of Notre Dame. Or Two-Face from Batman. Take your pick, both are accurate.
And there was a face people kept making at me, either it was shock or they tried to be complacent when they asked me what happened. Both were amusing because I knew I looked like half my face had been shot with tranquilizer.
I also started telling me people I had been in a fight when they asked me what happened. You'd be surprised how many people believed me.
And I may or may not have had more to drink. Maybe.
Anyway, to sum it all up, interesting night. Ended up going home at 3am just because I was getting tired of being ugly and I wanted pizza. I got home and my window literally fell out of the frame in my bedroom, sweet. Plus I nearly had a meltdown because I couldn't get the Danish laundry machines to work so I could wash my bloody shirt. I soaked it in detergent in the sink though and it totally worked. Who knew. Maybe I do have housewife potential.
PS. Wrote this whole post like a pirate. Because my left eye is swollen shut and I can only see out the right. Which is harder than you might think.
