Meet and Greet with an Arctic Monkey

So last weekend was one looong weekend.

Thursday me and Bon drove back to Sydney after breaky at Ellies with Em.
Got to Sydney, Bon had her doctors appointment, went to Eastgarden's fgor a spot of shopping, did a drive by of the liquor land and headed home to load up for the Arctic Monkeys after party.
So drank copious amounts of alcohol, got completely trashed then found myself at fringe bar. After some dancing, on my part, that should be outlawed, i found myself outside having a smoke break and chatting to those outside doing the same.

So across the way I spot this spunky looking guy in a leather jaket and decide yesss i am going to talk to you, so i walk up and in my way is this very large tall man. so i start chatting to him innocently enough and ask if hes a bouncer here, because he looks like it, but hes like no. i gently push my way past to get to my destination. delicious man in leather jacket.
so we start chatting, i dont know what about, but i remember being so drunk i could hardly focus on his face, but i heard this lovely english accent so i ask him where hes from and he tells me brazil. i didnt register that it didnt make sense but i continued none-the-less, saying i knew a guy staying in sydney from brazil. he politely asked me the guys name and i was like ivan, and hes like, oh i know him!. i was like OMG are u serious! and thought it was the best thing out. after a laugh, me at 'oh what a small world' and him at me, he says he has to head back inside, so i farewell him and his large friend, who i later find out was a body guard, and there you go, i had a facinationg story to tell people the next night after bdo. the night i met an arctic monkey.

So we get back to bons, im being loud and unmanegable, and end up passing out on bons bed, and axel wakes me up at 7;30, so to the balcony for a smoke, to the kitchen to heat up the reminents of last nights 5am trip to maccas and the day has begun.
Buy bottle of gin. Pour said bottle of gin into hip flask and hide in the very convenient gutsquashers. At BDo by lunch time and its sooo hot! Head to lillyworld to chill for a bit, then to ting tings but WAY ridiculuosly packed so head back to the grass to sit. new produce stage and watch a few bands there, as well as lupe fiasco, ajax, arctic monkeys prodigy, purple sneakers djs, other assortment of djs. good day. despite the fact that i was heniously hungover, and i know bon was a little anoyed at me cos i didnt talk much, and no matter how much i drank, and the fact that we sculled a hip flask of gin, i couldnt reach my high. but prodgiy went off, ive never dnaced so hard it was AMAZING.

headed to purple sneakers for afterparty and ben lucids bday, mostly hung out upstairs, then ventured down to the outside area where i met santa and his little helpers. lol not really, but the guy was named santa. and he was with his friends. talked to this guy matt id met on nye and at sneakers the following night, had a decent chat. jimmy ignored me so i ingored him lol saw him hooking up with a heniously ugly chick, good for you man! haha.

and to wrap it up, i arrived at central station the following day at 3.30pm for my train, and due to trackworks didnt arrive home until 9:45.
needless to say, over 6 hours of waiting, buses and trains, i was VERY happy to get home.

AND that, my friends, was my epic weekend.

D-Day

So, I find out tomorrow if I was successful in my application for on campus accommodation.
If unsuccessful, it's back to the drawing board, I don't really know what I'll do. Scroll through the never ending lists of house sharing I guess. God it's tiring. And my last attempt to find a house mate, well, that didn't turn out so good, and i very nearly locked myself into a situation I would have been very unhappy and uncomfortable in. I suppose I need to get out of my comfort zone sooner or later, but the prospect of living in such close proximity to strangers unnerves me. Particularly after my last encounter.

So BDO is on this friday and wooooowwwwooooowwwww it's gunna be awesomeee!
Bon has a pretty wicked plan for our weekend so I hear, which is good as.
Ahh I can't be bothered to write anymore, I'm not really in the mood, I have to get ready for work and my stomach is screaming 'feed me' so, I guess thasts my cue to leave.

Are we human?

I now own Twilight. I'm not so sure if this is a good thing, considering I've already watched it twice (in a row) tonight. It's not like it's that good of a movie but it gives me a little break from reading the books.

I've been listening to alot of The Dears and loving it.
Not loving, however, being back at work! BUT I guess comforting is the thought that I have about 5 or so weeks left until I can resgin! Yahoo. Oh yeah.

BDO is next weekend YEAHH and the countdown begins. Ready to witness the prodigy already.

Bring on the '09

Wow so it's 2009. Another year has passed and the year I have so keenly anticipated is finally here. To be honest it's a bit of a let down. Nothing in particular has changed, I'm still plodding along through the first days of the year and it's sort of like the first day of school, for the next month. Settling into a rhythm, of how you want to begin your year, organising a hell of a lot for university, pondering my resignation from a place I've been at for 3 years, trying to figure out just where the hell I'm living considering I need to have a place by the end of next month and the fact that I haven't saved a cent for about 4 months, it's a bit unnerving. No one said it would be easy, I just assumed I'd have all the time in the world to figure it out and sadly I don't.
So there's my winge for the beginning of 2009.

On the other hand, I've been constantly drunk the whole year (every..hmm...3 days of it lol) I've been shopping, to the beach, wached movies, had quality gal pal bonding time, helped to organise and hold a house party, been out on the town, twice, and tomorrow night am seeing The Kooks. That doesn't sound so bad at all does it.
So just how was my New Years? It was good. No big bang to welcome the new year and maybe my expectations we're a little high, but I had fun nonetheless.

Then I thought a bit about new years resolutions. Obviously I'm a bit late, but I've never been one to run with convention, so I'm making them now (better late than never right?)
I like simplicity so I'm keeping it simple:
1. Find a job
2. Keep said job.
3. Intergate successfully into uni
4. Put in needed effort for my course and NOT SLACK OFF oh I am a slacker
5. Nothing will stop my overseas trip in July. NOTHING. Put it off once, won't again.
6. Even if things don't work out, do what I need to do to be happy.

I can't think of anything worse than being unhappy in a situation you totally have control of, let alone one you don't. It's easy, remove yourself from that environment. Only you can ensure your own happiness, SO even if uni isn't for me, I'll do what I can to find an alternative I'm happy with. This is my biggest worry yet, that uni isn't for me but I haven't realised it yet.

Anyway first blog of the new year. And there'll be many more I'm sure.
