What Makes A Perfect Twenty-One Days?

Is it watching bitchin' 90s movies at Alex's house before drinking wine with Andrea on the way to see The Matches for the first time out of four? Is it a thousand attempts and shouts with everyone to request More Than A Feeling? How about 7 hour bus rides with Colin, Joey, Mal, Tori and Lauren singing swing versions of the Fresh Prince theme? Or maybe it's sitting outside bus stations at 11pm playing cards while a hobo named Nigel (in posession of a recorder) gets down on all fours and shits his pants right next to you? Or staying up til 5am pretending we're in some lame band?

Is it playing the Wii all night? Or Burnout all day with Colin? Is it making cookies and muffins with unhappy faces with Kelly? Is it learning how to drive and Ripstick in an Oklahoma car park? How about wearing gay matching scarves, which were actually far from either? Is it drinking a bottle of red wine by yourself and then being graffitied on and recorded doing so for the whole of YouTube to see?

Is it drinking Jagerbombs and catching lergy at Emery shows with Danielle? Is it screaming "I can't make it on my owwwwwwwwwwwn!" and "Since you been goooooooooooonnnnne!" at the top of your lungs whilst drinking disgusting watered-down whiskey with Michaela, Danielle and Noelle on the way to Tahoe? Is it building snowmen with genitalia and Down's Syndrome and rolling around in the snow with Nina and Eugene? Or maybe sledding into a cabin at 3am after a few bottles of rum like Sam? It's certainly not the Jiffy's grease-ball hangover cure, though.

Is it watching Saved by The Bell with Kim and Jay Jay during the day before watching every Saw film at night with Danielle and Sam? Or maybe just yelling "GARRRYYYY!" at every available opportunity? Is it drinking in a cafe with Jen and Meredith and being taken to strange cars by 60-year old hippies named Steve? Is it walking around Santa Cruz and the taking shots of rum (not water) with Mandie and Andrea, Erika and Sheila, and "the boys from over the road"? Or watching two movies by yourself in an empty cinema?

Perhaps it's eating Mexican food followed by drunken karaoke and sleepovers? Is it building forts with Mary? Or going in disco toilets with Adam and eating bean pizzas?

Whatever it was, it was an incredible three weeks. I can't thank everyone involved enough for making it as good as it was.

Oh, hi Fiji!
