I Love #1's - 2000

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Last week Marvellous Marvin and his Gayers topped the ticks of '69 with 29 smackers for Heard It Through The Grapevine. Marmalade trailed in last with just 3. That's what you get for covering the rubbishest Beatles song! This week it's a new millennium and we have an ENORMOUS amount of songs for you to choose from, largely thanks to the major labels cottoning on to the fact that they could buy up a bunch of 99p singles themselves and propel their latest act straight to the top. But corporate spending power is no match for the legion of Manics fans...

WORST PARTY EVAH

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

ok first we watched the RUB DE LA RUB RIVER O'FIRE then we wandered in the rain tryin to find a party T had an invite to -- we knocked on the wrong door and were invited into a nice roofparty of ppl we DIDN'T KNOW AT ALL ft.sossidge BarBQ, but felt awkward after an hour or so even tho they were v.friendly, so we perservered and eventually found the party by climbin over some railings into a GATED COMMUNITY

except once there:
a. the drink was AWFUL -- really nasty cheap wine and lame beer
b. the music was WORSE!!
c. it was very COLD
d. round about five they started serving breakfast -- you cannot go wrong w.bacon scrambled eggs and a roll B-B-BUT THEY COULD
e. T wanted to dancer all night -- i wz flakin so first of all tried to snooze but was kept awake by STIFF FREEZING DRAFT
f. so i toddled off home...
g. ... T told me later that abt 30 mins after i left, the person whose BF wz throwin the party turned up in a rage -- she had not been invited -- at exactly the moment her BF chose to cause a massive grumpy queue outside the bathroom by havin sex and coke with SOMEONE WHO WASN'T HIS UNIVITED GF hurrah er er!!!
h. obv if i had stayed another 30 mins this would have been FUNNIEST PARTY EVAH

'99 was the year i graduated but all i could do was return home and hang out with old schoolfriends for the 'big night' itself which was always a disappointment in my mind (i was hoping 'new millennium new people/friends' i suppose). the party itself was actually good and involved karaoke and loads of booze but it still felt anticlimactic.

I was victim of GOVERNMENT orga-fun, viz a tiny bottle of Tesco champers was all the booze I received (to be fair I was only 17, tho had already developed a moderate booze problem). Plus my parents came with me! I also received a phone call at 10.45pm from my then boyfriend* saying that he'd been in a fight at the Scruffy Murphys in Uxbridge and his 'mate' G had punched some girl or something & half the pub had been arrested. Luckily I had spent most of the day having teh sechs just in case the apocalypse happened at midnight etc so I was in a good mood.

*I had a DREAM about said boyfriend last night, that we were still going out and he came up to me and said "you know, we haven't spent much time together in the last six years have we?" and I was like er no we haven't have we, sorry, but NOT REALLY SORRY mwahahahah.

Ah. NYE 98 I went to Mental Lydia's party and got off with Ben Beadle while everyone was outside watching the fireworks. Far drunker than the next year.

ok, champers to start (8ish?), off to FARM in middle of nowhere with loads of punX0r kids* to see band play in farmyard. polish off bottle of red. manage to scab lift back into cheltenham (thank god). go to party where everyone on e, make inroads into second bottle of red, hear bongs, go to third party up road, finish second bottle of red, start minesweeping, make terrible fool of myself involving cow-orker who randomly happens to be at party, dragged home by meg, have three day hangover...

*NB the sort of punkX0r kids whose parents own farms ;)

I was privileged on that new year to be present at the announcement of the COOLEST MAN OF THE THIRD MILLENNIUM.

Said man's progress towards world recognition of his claim has been slow, however revellers at THIS new year's hottttest party may well be witness to some significant advances.
