So I was jejely in my bed the other day, pretty much the whole day.
It was a sunday, nothing to do. I'd just seen Titanic for God knows how many times and I still cried, especially when the old couple were in their bed, hugging each other and ready for death!!! Ah, not only is that mad love but confidence and acceptance of the fact that they have lived their lives and are ready to go. Hmm, I'm not quite sure but I don't think I can be in that frame of mind for a while....I dare say its only the elderly that can have that frame of mind...any other person that tells me they are, is chatting shit as far as I'm concerned....I digress.
Yeah so I had managed to get a shower and make some curry at about 8pm when my friend called me and demanded that I come to her house. She'd been begging and she was on her way to pick another of my friends up so I had to get dressed and wait for her. Got into my track suit bottoms, t shirt and hoodie...(something befitting for the night I presumed).
We got there and they got down to their naija movies, of which I'm not a big fan of...so most of what I did was criticize the whole thing and rant on and on about the steeeewwwpid movie!!!
As my boredom increased I asked my friend if she had some garri for babes. She did.....(now thats my kinda host) plus she had groundnuts too...and I was good to go.
I got to the kitchen, put my garri in the bowl, with sugar and groundnuts and then halt! No water. Have I mentioned that I don't drink tap water? No? Well, I dont, so if you dont have bottled water, dont offer me water or anything that I have to mix with water, i.e ribena and the lot.
She came into the kitchen and was like ohhh sorry, but you can use tap water now!! I looked at her and shook my head, thinking, I cant have this conversation with you again. Then she opened the fridge and found a small bottle of vittel and was like oh here's some water...use this and if it isnt enough, you can get some from the kettle and use some ice.
I did exactly as she told me.....the whole process seemed long but mehn I was bent on getting some garri that evening. I mixed it all up and as I walked into the living room, I took one spoon of the garri and it just didnt feel right
Yes!!!!!!!! My tongue was burrrrrrrning, unfortunately, some of it found its way down my throat and my throat literally fried at the feeling. I screamed and said to her, What the f*** was in that bottle???
You know what she said??? She walked towards me and was like oh my God, I am so so sorry.
It was VODKA!!!!!!!!!!
Man I was pisssedddd. She then said that her housemate had emptied the water in the bottle and filled it with vodka cos she was going clubbing and didnt want to buy any drinks at the club. All she wanted to do was buy coke at the bar and mix it with her own vodka....CHEAPSKATE OSHI!!!!
Ok maybe not....sorry to say that, she is a student like me and she has every right to do as she pleases. But damn I was so pissed off.
I just went back to the sofa sat down, and shut my mouth. They carried on with their naija movie and I wasnt even in the frame of mind to criticize anymore. Not only had she ruined my perfect evening with a bowl of garri...she had given me alcohol in the most unthinkable of waysss....
*HISS*
For those that think I'm ranting and over reacting.....I'm allowed to cos I dont drink and cos I'M ALLOWED TO....PERIOD!!!!
To worsen the situation she then asked me if I was a recovering alcoholic, cos I was pissed off so much. I just kept quiet ( as I always do when I'm pissed) and laid my head down to sleep. I could have picked up my hoodie and left but that would have been a bit too dramatic.
LOL at some point I thot I was drunk cos I was thinking all sorts in my head but I wasnt actually doing any of them, so I put it down to paranoia, but considering I had just downed a bottle of vodka into my garri, I guess I was allowed to think and vex.
Psheeeew.
My first taste of alcohol and it just had to be with my garri....
Nonsense and ingredient!!!!!
45 Cogitations:
First !!!!!
Im on a roll this week
Lol I just had to laugh at your expierence
beats the time when my sister put sugar in the meat thinking it was salt
pu a whole new meaning to sweet and sour
hahahaha!!!!
Oh my, that is cracking me up. I mean sorry sha. No non-drinker should ever be assaulted with vodka when soaking their garri, especially garri and groundnut. Kai!!!
That think must have burnt your throat like holy ghost fire!!!! Question: does garri swell in vodka? lol!!!
Oh my....
Take care, babe.
ROTFLMAO!!! I almost bursted out laughing in class. I wasn't sure what to expect but vodka and garri? lmao.
I can't even imagine that taste. Sorry I'm laughing but whew.
I'm sorry, I've stopped. Hope she gave you some garri and g'nuts to take home as compensation sha? If she didn't, go collect it o.
Haba, it cant be that bad now. Lol, oh sorry.
I am paying attention o. You should see my notes. This iya is just yarning away jare and I have 3 hours to go. Kai.
Yes o, it usually takes that long. All my classes are like that but we meet once a week so it's not too much torture. There's free coffee and snacks right outside the door, so that keeps us going a bit.
Yeah, we get breaks every hour or so. Looks like I'm getting out early today too, sweeeet.
Oh, AA and BB are only concerned when it comes to playing naughty or nice. In general, I'm AB, a combination of both. I just gave you a little secret.
I'm at invisibleone@ymail.com
