I know it doesn't look like it but there was struggle between me and Derek over the bottle

Okay, so I had found out that afternoon from his good friend David that there was going to be a surprise thing for Derek's 21st, so XL and I went over there and made it just in time to surprise him. XL wasn't able to stay very long since she had something else to attend to, so after we "shared" a slice of pizza (meaning XL ate a slice of pizza) she left. I stuck around to chill and watch Derek drink. The party was organized by Derek, David, and some other folks. I'm not too clear on the logistics behind the whole thing, but a bunch of ICS geeks (myself included) were there.

"I'm giving up alcohol." So how's that working out for you, Hong?

Anyway, after a couple of hours of watching Derek chug Skyy and get molested by Eric and David, I had to go as well.

I'm afraid that this is the Cliff's notes version of the party since I'm very behind in picture posting. Next up is Derek's birthday part II.

chug!
