Beach Parties and Drunken Texting...

One is fucking amazing, the other fucking embarrassing... wanna guess which one's which?

Went to a beach party up at Newcastle Uni last night, they dumped 140tons of sand outside the SU, added 4 stages, some amazing hip-hop and rock bands, chucked in a load of booze and let the party begin! I have never seen live hip-hop before and I'm not exactly a fan of the genre but fuck, these guys were good! Then the Getaway Plan came on and again I'm not a fan but they blew me away. They got the whole crowd going crazy for 40mins, felt like I was back at Download. Then after being bored to tears by the Beatiful Girls (shit, boring, wankers) we headed inside to finish the night with more hip-hop type music. I managed to get completely plastered by about 8pm (it started at 3.30) and following Nick's lead started trying to chat up anything roughly female in the immediate vicinity... I should have listened when he said that Aussie girls are hard work! Didn't stop me having a wicked time even though I think I was turned down more times in one night than I ever have been in my whole life!

So after that we headed back to Nick's and because there were 6000 people all leaving the uni I didn't have a snowball-in-hell's chance of getting a taxi back to mine and I slept on his sofa. Not before getting his housemates number (success at last!) and sending two stupid (not sleazy, just stupid) txts as I slowly passed out... Hopefully she was too drunk and deleted them, yeh right. Even more so I hope she doesn't know I tried the same little trick with her other housemate 2wks ago and got soundly denied. Can't blame a guy for trying eh?

So there you go, beach parties = fucking amazing, drunken texting = fucking embarrassing. I'll let you decide which one you want to indulge in...

Just a...

quickie. The mega-positive post ain't happening for a while... same shit, different day.

On one hand it's been 2wks since I quit smoking and I'm not missing the fags at all.

On the other I'm hungover, angry and not very impressed at all.

Stopgap

I really should update this more often but I'm sick of writing angry or depressing shit on here. I don't have enough news for a decent update yet but suffice to say I've bought tickets for a student beach party and a metal festival in Sydney today so I'm a bit happier....

1 Step Forward, 2 Steps Back

Well I don't really wanna talk about it but my birthday was definitely the lowest point of this trip so far. Eating 3-day old pizza on my own isn't quite how I imagined I'd spend the night. Not to mention my boss being the biggest fucking prick to me then effectively excluding me from the project I'd traveled all the way to Ulan to work on. So work was really good for all of 3 days and now I'm back to wasting time because they don't have enough boring, simple jobs to keep me busy.

While I remember: THANKYOU TO EVERYONE WHO SENT ME A BIRTHDAY MESSAGE! They cheered me up no end and were the highlight of an exceedingly poor week.

Anyway, enough of that. Had a really fucking weird night on Friday, the two girls from the office invited me out in town with them. We went shopping in the afternoon so at least I have some respectable clothes now but when I met up with them later it all went pear shaped.

The hottie had a stunning friend with her and they both left within 20mins! They left me with "S" and her friend, neither of whom are at all attractive, not to mention that "S" was plastered. Without going into too much detail I spent the next 3hrs watching her scream at people in the street, kick bins, throw cans at people, steal a bike lock...the list goes on. She ended by telling me to fuck off home which I promptly did.

I was reassured that this was normal behaviour for her but I waited all weekend for a txt saying "please don't tell anyone at work"...it never arrived. So come Monday when the people at work (who knew exactly what I'd let myself in for) asked me what happened I just said that she was drunk and got rowdy, causing bit of a scene. No details, no bitching, just the facts. Cue 20mins later and "S" is doing a lovely imitation of a 14yr old with "you're spreading shit behind my back, friends don't tell secrets, we never liked you anyway just felt sorry for you, you're a fucking this-and-that". I don't think she appreciated me laughing in her face....oops my bad. I couldn't help cracking up when she turned a simple 30 second conversation into a massive drama and brought out insults I haven't heard since school.

After pointing out that I'm not her friend, everyone at work knows she's a rowdy bitch anyway and that I didn't tell them any of the details that would have actually caused her embarrassment I left her to it. There was more amusement today when she insisted on pulling faces at me while I was trying to make a coffee...I'm taking bets on how long it'll be before the immature cow tells me "you're not coming to my birthday paaahrty" :D

Sooooo apart from that nothing has changed, still bored, still pissed off with work. However I have actually entertained the thought of jacking it all in for longer than 5minutes which is worrying. Have been looking into ways to get a flight home in the early New Year for a visit home.

Chow for now...

Fan-fucking-tastic

I'm not coming back from the mine til Thursday morning now so will actually spend my entire birthday either underground or in a motel, doesn't get much better than that! I'm hoping there aren't any fires, explosions, rockfalls etc... knowing my luck....

I probably won't be online until Thursday night now so there'd best be plenty of birthday messages waiting for me!
