Good Friday always makes me think back to the First House of Clocks. One of the more notorious parties we had there was the Be Bad on Good Friday Party. We crucified Ian and played Pin the Nail of Jesus. I remember someone shouting "the beer's on fire!" and rushing to put out the flames. You know it's a real party when you have a beer fire.

We had music in the old tinfoil covered playroom. The old playroom was crazy. I mean, really crazy. Tinfoil walls, strange paintings along with random items screwed into the ceiling. I had written on the walls and the floors. Blissfully hopeful things and abysmally awful things. The pictures on the walls didn't match up spatially with their frames. A Twister mat was the table cloth. It was me. Me then. Strange, cluttered, mismatched, bright, stark, broken, glowing, and scary. I'm different now. I am no longer that room. I am breaking out of a chrysalis, not sure yet of what I have become.

Explain to me this "House of Clocks" concept! I'm intrigued.

The First House of Clocks was a place that I lived with a revolving set of other people. The name came from the number of clocks hung in the kitchen: over 30. They would make quite a noise all ticking away. It really disturbed people. The cross we crucified Ian on disturbed people too (and likely chased off several potential roommates), as we left it in the kitchen until the demise of the First House and beginning of the Second.

Sounds like my kind of decorating. Sorry I missed it ;-)

A beer fire is definitely in a league of its own party-wise! A story to tell around the campfire in our old age - I have a few like that myself, but not as good as a beer fire - lol!
