Christmas with a bunch of strangers

Or more precisely, with a bunch of friends-of-friends. Ended up spending the day at an Orphan's christmas bash run by a workmate of the flatmate and a great time was had by all. Beer was consumed in large quantities, food was eaten in similarly large quantities, pool was played, charades was played, odd card games were played, rules were generally thrown to the wind after more beers went down and both me and the flatmate got drunk enough late enough to miss out on the last trams back and had to crash over on the sofas. Met a whole bunch of new cool and groovy people, mostly of the from-overseas-and-traveling variety, who I will happily be catching up with again at some point. Took me all of yesterday to recover properly as I'm not quite as capable of handling the all-night binges as I used to be.

And I've still got two more days off before I have to go back to work.

Sweet.
