All good things must come to an end. Fortunately, though, fate really knows how to finish it off. CARNAGE.
(Just a quick thing, I’m having to steal people’s pictures from Facebook, seeing as even I’m smart enough to not bring my camera to Carnage, but know that other people are much more brave than I am. Love you people! )
As a quick summary to all you people who don’t come from a Carnage-equipped dwelling, Carnage is essentially the student night where you buy a shirt, dress in appropriate fancy dress and get heavily intoxicated. A giant piss-up, Bournemouth style.
The theme for this one was Beauty and The Geek, which as I’m sure you’re well aware by now – thanks in part to reading a blog of mine – that I’m pretty much geek already. Don the mandatory 3D glasses with the lenses popped out and a loosely tied tie and you’re ready to drink.
But first you need to get a shirt. Carnage is pretty popular, so getting a T-shirt can sometimes be a challenge, it seems. But fear not, as I ordered mine a long time in advance to collect from the Litten Tree on the day. Bit of a queue, but I’m British, I can deal with that sort of thing. But when I got to the bit where I got my shirt, the guy gave me three. I wasn’t going to question it.
Pre-drinks at Toms was your generic pre-drinks-at-toms. Full of alcohol, Ring of Fire and lip-syncing videos which will never see the light of day. Got to love it. 
In my stroke of quote-unquote ‘genius’ while I was in the Lansdowne area and while they were open, I decided to get me some drinks. Kind of bored of drinking beer, I went with my Steven Kay-induced love of vodka red bulls, just with ASDA brand energy drink. It’s nice, but has a bit of a problem, as we’ll come to in a minute.
Then Carnage happened. Essentially, a night out in Bournemouth, dusted with more bar-hopping than usual. Yates’, Toko, Bliss, Lava. While let’s not mention what happened in Bliss with Ash and Joel (or indeed anywhere with Tom…), it was a great night out. Loving all the Facebook pictures. 
Didn’t realise how much of an effect the ASDA energy drink had, though.
I know I have a fairly low tolerance to energy drinks anyway. But generally the first time I drink it I get a buzz, but the rest of the time it doesn’t effect me. That was until it came to going to sleep.
Ash was kind enough to let me and Steve (and Aleece, too. She just can’t get enough of us…) sleep over in his kitchen. I nabbed the sofa, while the rest casually used the mattresses. I preferred sleeping on the sofa. Don’t know why.
We talk, we laugh, we try to sleep. Well, they manage to sleep. There’s me lying there at half four, still awake, with a couple of songs on loop in my head. I’d need to get up at 10 to get back to Poole and to uni on time. Ehh, never mind. I managed.
So all in all, a lovely little night with the IMPs. Saw my flatmates out, too. Couple of photos with them until we speedily exited Bliss. Never mind. All in the name of fun =]
