<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

Last night at a party a piñata was bought out. People took turns whacking it blindfolded, as you do, and after 4 or 5 people I was handed the stick. I put the blindfold on, but the crucial difference between what happened next and the previous participants' experiences is that I was then spun around. Let me mention now that there was hardly enough room to swing a cat (or stick) in this room without hitting people, but people had moved from straight in front of the piñata to allow the game to happen.

I re-orientated myself to where I thought the piñata was and put the stick out. It came into contact with something exactly where I thought the piñata would be, (apparently I grinned at this point) so I quickly drew back and swung as hard as I could (I'm pretty strong) and as I contacted the object about 50 people drew in their breath and shouted 'oooohhhhh'. This was the first indication I had that I had completely fucked up.

I took the blindfold off and saw the host, one of my course mates, lying on the sofa and (thankfully) laughing. I had hit her on the arm and the stick had then bent round her arm and whipped her across the back. There was a massive welt on her back, but she couldn't feel any pain immediately because of shock and/or alcohol.

Gave her a beer, apologised profusely for half an hour or so and iced it. As of this morning she said it wasn't raised any more, but painful and red.
<bot>: Blindfolded and given a stick, then spun round in a room of people; hit my friend as hard as I could instead of the piñata.
