What have I done these last few dayss? Well I'll tell you, it's been a cherry poppin' weekend, for sure. I told Leah that if she pops 10 of my cherries she gets a prize, and she's already up to five including some previous weeks' outings. Evidently, I don't do enough stuff.
Friday arvo I ran off from work early as it was Tafe enrollments, so I've officially committed myself to another year of Marketing study in order to get the Diploma certificate. Work will pay for it again, Monday and Wednesday nights for the first semester, and unfortunately the dickhead from last year will still be in my class for the first half of the year. Oh well, here's hoping he ignores me.
Friday night was double whammy cherry poppin' action as I went to my first Vegaroo meet up and also the first time I think I've actually been anywhere in Erskineville. Apparently my regular weekly ticket is even valid there, who knew! So Vegaroo is technically for vegans, but they said veg and non-veg are also invited, so I figured why not, got no where else to be and I can meet a bunch of people I'd otherwise not meet. I even helped out on the door, collecting the donations for the Manly Penguins and helping with nametags and stuff, so I met every single person in the room pretty much. I also got to witness multiple occurrences of the Running Man, the Nutbush and one I didn't know had a name, the Joker. Oh wait, there's another cherry pop!
One of the things I'm going to get more active in is trying to expand my group of friends, or even just social acquaintances, as I'm really getting over the fact that none of my friends go places where people I'd want to know go (sorry drunk clubber guys, you're not my thing) and they aren't prepared to go somewhere I'd want to go for a night. And you really get over turning up to shit alone, I tell you that.
So yeah, helped out at Vegaroo, and actually knew some people as Kelsey, Brad and Andrew were there too, who I've met at the two previous IAM meet ups, so that was awesome.
Saturrrrrrrdaaaaay Leah, Tegan and and I went cruising around because Leah's just gotten her Ps so wants to drive omgeverywhere so we went to Maroubra Beach because I'd said I'd never been before, where we got sun-burnt and scored a ton of freebies from three Herbal Essences girls who were pushing around a trolly trying to fob stuff off as quickly as possible. I ended up with about 14 samplers of shampoo/conditioner, and seven mini-cans of Venus shaving cream, so I have no excuse to be hairy and damaged. After that we went to Coogee for lunch, again because I haven't been before, and spent so long looking in bookstore that was closing down that we had to chuck more money on the meter.
That night, dinner with the father's side of the family, where dad booked a table at Thai-Riffic then dropped us off at Thai Splender. Um... Yeah. My dad's good like that.
Sunday was pretty dull, didn't do anything until the nightime were I went to see Soap at the Opera House with some of the girls. If you get the chance to see this, just do it, even if it's just to see dudes without their shirts on and girls who can do this:
It was funny, entertaining and yes, there's ab-ed up dudes without their shirts on.
I'm gonna burn my skin
I'm gonna cut my hair
I'm gonna grab a bit of me and stick it over there
I'm gonna take my meal of two white pills
Cause I'm gonna look like you, yes I will
Gonna sell right out to the great white dream
Cause I too want to be a beauty queen
I'm just a teenage girl sitting in my room with the bullet for a mirror looking for a broom Cause I'd do anything in this world to look like you
John Butler Trio 'To Look like You'
("A broom"? I originally thought it was "headroom", which makes much more sense to me!)
