Party hearty

From what happened today, I have come to the conclusion that I am in fact immensely as straight laced as they come. This week I've gone out every other night. I enjoyed it, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I didn't even try to lose myself. I was barely drunk. I realize that the gatherings I still enjoy the most are the quiet but intense ones surrounded by my most intimate of friends.

Anyways so I'm not going into the details because well... It was in fact a family vacation and I'm not exactly keen on my family finding out who it was that I fancied. Yes my friends - I said it, or rather wrote it. I had a crush. It still gives me chills when I think about it. - Ick. It all started on the boat trip to paradise. I noticed him. He noticed me. We weren't formally introduced by our common aquaitances. Here's a picture of paradise aka our backyard. Later that day, we met aga
