I now feel that it has become important, nay necessary, to publish the legend of my first party on this here blog. Let me take you back to March 2003.
*Flashback time- everyone stares mystified at the ceiling*
My mother told me that she would be going away on work to Singapore in the May period. This was around the time of Amy Green’s and Sarah’s parties. Sarah had thrown a party without parental permission and Amy had almost done that. Amy advised that I also throw a house party, and being a naive Year Nine, I agreed.
I told my father that over the weekend of May the 8th I would be going to sleep over at Glyn’s house. I then proceeded to plan the party.
I invited about forty people of which six were invited to help “party-proof” (that is prepare the house for drunken damage).
May 8th 2003
Myself, Gigi, Amy Jutsum, Amy Green, Lauren, Pete, Brooke and Glyn went into town to get alcohol. I got a phone call at around 12 from Martin Rose. I had told him to come to my house… oh dear.
Amy Jutsum, Lauren and myself rushed to the bus to get home to meet him. I felt really guilty so I said that Lauren would give him a lap dance. She didn’t agree to this but Amy shouted out that she would also give him a lap dance.
We got back to the house and met Martin. We began the “party-proof” the house. This involved taking photographs of each room so as to be sure that we knew exactly where everything went and then removing anything that could be broken. We moved everything that could be broken into three different rooms.
The study had the most valuable objects in so we decided to lock it. Unfortunately there was no lock so we had to put a chain around the inside and and padlock it. Andrew Crane did this and then climbed out of the very small window.
Everyone else returned from town. Lauren had bought 28 units of alchopop. Nice one!
At around 7 o clock the guests began to arrive. People started drinking. Brooke and Pete (who were a couple at the time) went into the basement for a short period of time (oooh) and Lauren and Glyn went into the spare bedroom for a longer period of time. Myself and Martin decided to take one of every shoe and hide it in the garden.
At nine o clock Anna and Sarah told me that there was someone at the door. It was Burger and he wanted to come in. I agreed and he joined the party.
By this point Brookesy and Ruth were very drunk. Ruth was practically unconcious and Brookesy was unable to speak or stand up properly.
It was at this point that Matt Rutherford and his friends decided to crash. We quickly locked the door while they wandered around the garden. For some reason we had decided to put a rope ladder out of my mum’s bedroom window (a room with breakable stuff in) down to the garden. This door was jammed shut so myself and Martin had to run upstairs and practically break the door down to stop Rutherford climbing in.
Eventually they left- I think they went to Cotgrave because after about half an hour the police came and said they had received a call from there. Everyone ran around madly hiding alcohol. Zoe Draycott was shouting at drunkards and confiscating their alcohol. Pete, Sam and Cherry were looking after Brookesy in the toilet. Bryony, Amy and Kindell were looking after Ruth in my bedroom. Hannah Wightman and Gigi were having sex in my bathroom. Or Hannah might have been trying to commit suicide- I can’t remember (they both happened).
The police came and asked me for my dad’s address and he came and shut the party down. We drove Martin Rose home, a lot of people went home themself and Amy Jutsum, Paul Lupton, Glyn, Lauren and Zoe went to sleep in the park.
