This morning i woke up feeling a little sorry for myself.
Tuesday was your regular day... just work etc. I finished early though because i am off my probationary License and i needed to get my photo taken for my full license. There was this young lad there who must have just passed his learners permit or something, and he didn't really look as chuffed as you would imagine as he was getting his photo taken - he had the glummest look on his face. I am glad he was there, because i conciously made a decision to look exactly the opposite of that - and my photo turned out great, which is a rarity indeed.
My old house is right near VicRoads, so i went and visited Mum and my cat. She had some hard rubbish to put out, so i handled that for her. She also fixed my tie which was awesome. I wasn't expecting dinner, and i was about to leave because i was hungry, and she said she would cook me a steak. There was no way i could entertain the concept of leaving! It was good.
The drive home was tedious. Because i live so close to everywhere i want/need to be, i cannot stand the suburbs now! and the Sun was excruciatingly bright and setting. It was eye level and i didn't have my sunglasses which made for a cautious drive... Autumn is amazing thus far - for the past week or so the sun has been shining quite ominously yet it has not been way hot. The cold is certainly coming along though... 2 more weeks and we will have sub 10 degree temperatures at night, and when the second one of those occurs, it is shroom picking season.
As soon as i got home, Linas busted out the chess, and we got crankin. He is the master of deceipt. He makes you concentrate hard on one aspect of your game, and then totally surprises you with a well thought out move that will totally destroy all of your plans. I beleive it is 5-0 now, i had best lift my game!
Adrian came over shortly after we were done and caught up on the weeks events, closely followed by Meg... I thought i might just go to bed, but then Linas and Meg informed me of their plans to visit an establishment of some sort that serves beer. I put my drinking shoes on and was so down with that.
Linas thought that i wouldn't be up for it, because it is a 'school night' I guess he doesn't know that much about me yet... going out on 'School nights' is something i feel i must do. Because i am part of the workforce, doesn't mean i have to live the life of an office pleb, especially since i am still Uni age, i should have fun living the Uni lifestyle!!! I can sleep when i am dead.
We travelled 4 minutes (!) down the road to the Hawthorn - quite a trip down memory lane for me, as that was mine and my ex's venue of choice on a Saturday night for quite some time - and i have not been there for a while. There were a few people there, i imagine a standard crowd for a Tuesday night. Straight to the bar and bottoms up. The Three of us spent the early part of the night reminiscing - well Linas and Meg were, mostly about music and the best years for Albums - i was happy to interject, but generally the early 90's was appreciated. This was when i was 10, so my input was limited. We ended up polishing 4 jugs in the space of 2 hours, and i have got to say - i was plastered.
Last night was the most i have appreciated my locality thus far. home in 5 minutes, and on the couch smoking a spliff in 10... passed out on my bed with that classic dizzy feeling at 3.10am. When my alarm went of at 7.00am this morning, my first reaction was to throw it out the window, but if i did that, i would have never have gotten up. I then heard Linas proclaim in the background an expletative. Him and Meg had been up the whole time, and it seemed like i had not slept at all - quite surreal. It was wierd having Linus awake and talking to me when i was getting ready for work..
So i was hungover as a biyatch, and i still am. I suppose the only reason i went to work was because Linas said i looked and sounded fine. The general rule for hangovers is no going to work if you scored, but i didn't score, so i had to go to work - a sick day was not an option. The coffee i had this morning though was the best coffee ever. It was no different to the ones i have every morning, but my state of mind benefitted greatly. Caffeine is great.
Last night was a huge success. I got to know Linas even better, and him me. I also got to know Meg really well, and she has been elevated from acquintance status to friend status, a promotion of sorts. Tonight i will be going home, and will not even fathom leaving the couch, i need to catch up!!!!
Have a pleasant day/night/adventure!
BAM!!!
