I am really enjoying this small break from Work. Seriously, I had Friday off and it is now Sunday and i still feel great, even though i have had quite a large weekend!!!
It all started on Thursday night, and i was in a rather festive mood... it was time to catch up wiht the boys from the old hood, and its awesome... their is this really average night club in Ringwood called Daiseys - it is pretty much the only place everyone out that way goes to on a Thursday night... its one of those places you cant really have a good time unless you enjoy a beverage or eight... So instead of driving hither or thether i was able to catch up with most of my old buddies on Thursday night... it was really fun, i ended up passing out on the bean bag at home...
In spite of the rather large evening before hand, i was quite proud of my efforts on Friday. I was up by 11 because i had to sign some lease papers and get my rent paid... it was my first rent since moving out of home, and the fact that it was so close to Christmas, i dont find so agreeable... its ok - i was lucky to have received my bonus from work earlier this week, so i had quite a bit of bling - but i would much rather have bought some sunglasses or shorts with my well earned bonus, I suppose thats half the part of growing up and moving out of home, i wouldn't have it any other way though, i am having a lot of fun. I got all my chores done, and was able to relax with Sean and Caitlin on Friday afternoon... This is crazy, as i write this there are so many thoughts that come to mind as i recollect my weekend... and i want to record them all!
Ok, back ground information - Friday night was a joint party of Tom and Tony, two of my mates from my soccer team... Tom is one of the nicest guys i have ever met in my life... however, his girlfriend has corrupted him somewhat - she is the most superficial, shallow, and perhaps conceited person that i have ever met... anyway, within that particular group of friends, this has caused many fights and bitching, which i do not like at all... anyway, She has even kept Tom from playing in our soccer grand final (he is the captain!!!!!) even though he could have made it, because it was her graduation. This particualr night, Tom had said he would not be able to come because Alina had something else on, so he decided he would work... this was not acceptable. I called him up at work and gave him an absolute serving - you see, i am relatively new to this group of friends, as they all went to school together, but i am the first to really confront him over crap like this... so i gave him a good ear bashing, and told him i was rather upset, and that i would be paying him a visit during the week, as i needed to talk to him... he knew i was mad, and also that i was right, and i could sense it in his voice... He turned up at the party. I was very, very happy - i had actually got through to him, but i am still going to have words.
Righteo... this party was so much fun. I was intorduced to the Liquer 'Frangelico' for the first time... what a lovely drink that was... to be honest, i was totally unsure as to whether i would be up for a big night - but it was great, it was going down like water!!!! and we were amongst friends, all inhibitions gone, and we were just having chats. I met Bonnie for the first time... (My mate Nick's girlfriend) Essentially, she is ok... i think her heart is in the right place, but she really opened up to me for some reason... i hate it when people you dont really know feel ultra-comfortable with you, because they can really tell you things that will put you in a situation of breaking trust - she told me something that was supposed to be a secret from Nick... i dont know who she was kidding... Nick is a good friend of mine, and she only just met me... and it is something i am going to have to tell him... i am popping over later tonight... She is just a naive 18 year old girl making the mistakes that are considered expetational of girls that age... she doesn't know what she wants, and to be fair, neither does Nick... it will be interesting to see how that develops... It was good to see Eoin, Damien and Andy as well... Ellen also came out as well... man... she is one cool chick... its good to drink and have fun with your friends... i felt really comfortable... those guys look out for me, and i would do the same for them.
Well... because of the ilicit substances also consumed... i was still awake at 6.00am in the morning... so we watched blues brothers for the first time ever at Seans house... that is a really cool movie, i cant believe i had never seen it before... as a side note, we also watched the surfing world tour, and i have to say, that event makes me rather proud to be an Australian... out of the last 16 there were 8 Australian's - we kick ass at sport... all sport, per capita we are by far the best performing nation in the world. /End patriotic rant. But it was time for sleep after that... so i got my required 6 hours at home... but then i went straight back to Seans to give him some stuff... Brad came over with his Labrador puppy as well... she is so cute... her name is Maple... very mis behaved, but you just cant tell her off dammit! We just played this X-Box game call Deathrow with Caitlin as well... for anyone who doesn't know it - its like a hybrid of Mortal Kombat annd NBA Hang time... its insane and really good fun... it feels like it was only a few hours ago - this weekend has been a big blur. I didn't leave last night till 4.00am and i just slept till what i thought was about 12.30pm today, when it was actually 15.30pm!!!
Tomorrow i have to do some Christmas shopping... It will be good to go to a shopping centre, because Hot chicks hang out at shopping centres, and i need my weekly fix of eye candy. Oppurtunities have been limited this weekend, so i might catch a flick or something and see what i can work. Then there is soccer later that evening. I dont expect i will be performing so well after this weekend of debauchery... but we have been known to win after a straight 30 hours awake after a Dance Party... so i think we will be fine...
Looks like this will be one fun festive season indeed - i am sooooo pumped for the coming weeks. It will be really good to catch up with the family for Christmas... its so true that you appreciate them and grow to love them much more when you are away from them - i really do have a new found respect for my Mum... i really dont know what i will get her and Tony for Christmas... also my eldest sister and her husband (they are late 20's) I will be getting my other sister and her boyfriend some wine glasses, they really need them, last time i was there i was fed wine in a plastic cup.. how classy. My brother Tim i will be getting a gimp chain or something, to attach to his wallet, because he is forever losing it and causing me hassles - stupid brother shit i suppose. If one has any ideas - they will be welcomed. New Years is also looking great... slowly and slowly more mates are making concrete promises as to what they will be doing, so its shaping up to be more fun with mates and quality music... the challenge is on for 2004 to be the best New Years yet... i guess thats the challenge every year... it certainly will be in Amsterdam next year
Ok, Sunday evening beckons... i dont suppose i will be up to much other than visiting Nick... i dont think i will be able to sleep till much later though, i feel quite refreshed... If i do do anything else, i guess you will hear about it.
Peace Out.
