Nugget of fascinately, disturbing information I stumbled across on the interWEB #2837:

"Even though you won't find pussy on the menu at your local cafe, you can sample a taste of items near her pH levels: have some black coffee (pH 5), try a lick of lemon (pH 2), or have a glass of the closest thing going, wine, which has the same pH range as the vagina." from Taste of a Woman by Violet Blue

Does that mean I would be a great lesbian? *asks the girl as she downs her 4th glass of wine for the night.... ps its 7.24pm sunday night*

I guess this is one of the reasons I love random net surfing. When I'm trying I often get stuck, and have nothing to read. But its when I'm half watching dvd series, not even chatting to anyone, because my favourite 2 people are watching awesome Joss Whedon creations without me, or off celebrating the joining of two people in vomit-inducing matrimony or something, it is in THESE moments I discover the truly zany and bizarre.

So ok, a few people have been bitching to me that I haven't updated in AGES... heh and those people are the people I see and talk to the most so I dont know why they bitch the way they do, but anyway *lub you all*... what's been going on?

Last friday - the nintendo party was pretty good. The Nintendo DS consoles are pretty cool, I didn't know anything about them. But it turns out they have dual screens (DS- dual screens. wow I'm a real fucking brainiac!), and one is a touch screen, which is a novelty in itself. We have the most fun using the silly chat program. All the consoles were hooked up via wireless and we used these little pen things to write stupid stuff. Naturally the chat consisted of drawings of penis's, cuss words and other such nonsense. The nintendo girls were pretty retarded (pretty, but retarded) knowing nothing about the actual consoles or how they worked. Luckily, the boys I work with are geeky know-it-alls, so they managed to work it all out fairly quickly.

I hung out with Rach later on, watching the latest Lost episode her brother downloaded. (OMG i'm so in love with that show, and thank god they finally had a Hurley episode, I've been wondering what his deal was for ages). Hyped up on red wine, cheese and crackers we wandered down the Alibi and met up with Heather and Dan and had a good girly (plus boy) night. Lots of laughs.

The rest of the weekend was as per usual- hungover, watched Buffy with Cindy, cleaned, grocery shopped etc. Yes I'm in a bit of rut, and yes I love it.

Another week goes by at work, not alot to report about there (not that I would say much about it even if there was, not after reading about all those people who have been FIRED over blogging/bitching about their jobs)... We had another fun friday pub lunch in the Cellar at the Embassy Hotel (see pics in Moblog. Its the wine cellar/bottle shop part of the hotel... They have a table set up in there, in the middle of the cellar, surrounded by bottles of wine, alchol and beer, people come in to buy their booze. It sounds strange but its really awesome. And the food is yum and cheap, the booze is great. We can chose any of the beers or wines from the fridge, rather than just the alcohol they serve on tap, behind the bar. Which means we get to pick and chose from all the crazy international beers they stock in the cellar).

My whole week was kinda building up for a Pirate Party on friday night, at Dan's house. Check the photo gallery for photos. I spent way to money on a costume, but it saved me the hassle of shopping around at second hand stores for bits and pieces. And well, fuck it, I haven't been to a costume party in ages. The party is another success (thumbs up for Dan the fantabulous party host)- slightly less people then last one, but way more atmosphere and groove. Their backyard is huge, it totally felt like we were in a mini jungle. And he has a gazebo!!!! And no Pirate party is complete without a 3 piece bongo band, and an impromptu fire twirler (some random neighbour starting fire twirling in the back alley before Dan's place). Costumes galore, but Dan's was the best. His gay cabin boy attire was far the best and campiest. I have a great urge to host a costume party in the near future. And for once, I DID NOT have an outfit consisting of a lyrca leotard (which means having to strip entirely when needing to go to the toilet).

After much fun, and a smashed table, a bunch of us decided to wander down the Brunswick pub. A quick stop off at home for a change of clothes was necessary. More fun, and some jukebox action, and next thing you know its really early in the morning and people start going home. But not me! We had my cousin, Abby and her 2 year old daughter staying over, so we couldn't go back to my place, so david and I went over to Rach's for some more drinking and movies. Instead it was movies and me passing out. Oh well.

The sun was starting to rise as we left. I haven't been up for a sunrise in SOOOOO long, and had Abby and Jordan not been at home, I would have kept David around for longer and seen how long I could stay up. Instead he left, and I passed out about 6am. yay me.

Saturday- I woke up to the sounds of a rowdy 2 year old, and was up at 9.30. Surprisingly, not that seedy or tired, we had a bludgy day, ate lots of take away (thanks to the person who dropped $20 outside of our block of units), but as 9pm rolled around, I had had one small glass of wine and had barely finished it before I passed out on the couch. Noice one!

Today- us girls got together for a shopping spree, in preparation of rachel joining the monday-friday workforce. I can't say no, so after shopping- both clothes and groceries, I am left with $19 in my bank account. The lowest I've ever let my bank account get down to, but I'm not too worried as I get $50 back from the desposit on the costume, and its pay day either wednesday or thursday. Its been a pricey month- tattoo being the biggest cash chewer. Speaking of which, the tat is well and truly healed. No longer scabby! yay! and its looking pretty damn awesome. I'm so glad I got it. I still haven't told mum and dad but I will show them at Easter. I konw what mum is like, she will make a big deal out of it, freaking out about its size, imagined it to be 10 times the size it is, even if I give her exact measurements. Its better if she just sees it, I think.

Hmmm so that's what's been going on. Nice and impersonal, wouldn't you say?

There are emotions and stuff going on, but I often confuse this for that and I am trying my hardest not to. Perhaps I will post something on my live journal. Add me as your friend and I will add you back (as its friends only) if you are so inclined. Not making any promises though.

Til next month..... ciao!
