As you may or may not have read in my other entry today, I gave a speech at one of my best friend's 21st on Saturday night. This is an extract from it,

Liz is often immaculately groomed and presented and comes across as a very socially adept lady. SOMETIMES. On the other hand, Liz was the person who encouraged my very first public wearing of pyjamas on a Sunday morning. Sometimes her mouth allows phrases and words to escape that leaves the most liberal of minds with not a word to say. Yes, Liz most definitely has a wild side. Back when we were younger, we acquired some false IDs. I can’t quite remember where we got these from,

“OH HI AMANDA!”  (Amanda is Liz's sister-in-law who was sitting at a nearby table)

Not only did we have access to the over 18 world, we assumed completely different identities. I would like to all introduce you to Amanda (gesturing towards Liz). Amanda is 25 and is a freelance writer. She supplies several large magazines with periodic articles to get her by but her true passion and love lies with personal writings of her subject of choice. Amanda was often reluctant to reveal who her publicist was. In fact, Amanda often liked to play the ‘mysterious’ card especially on one particular occasion when having successive drinks bought for her by an off-duty police officer. This is while she was the tender age of 17.

            Many of our nights ended in the early hours of the morning where we try to creep into our houses as quietly as possible. One morning, when sleeping at my place, Liz gave us away by bringing my parents in the morning paper. But this is not, however, why this morning is so memorable. After a large night, it wasn’t long before I was fast asleep. Not for long

“LISS LISS, WAKEUP!”

“Hmm hmmm what?”

“I threw up”

“Oh well just flush it and wipe away the mess.”

“No no, Liss, I threw up in here”

“Oh well don’t step in it and we can clean it up after we sleep”

“No no, Liss, I threw up on you”

I suddenly became very aware of a warm, wet patch on my back. We spent the better part of that day hosing off the mattress and sheets.
