Matthew Allen's Weekend
Everyone else has had their turn, so here's mine.
I was up late on Friday night, as I am every night, packing and taking a long shower. The only thing different about being up late this night was that I had to get up early to catch a flight, and not be tired as the next day would be a long one. Regardless, 5 hours sleep later, I was on my way to the airport.
2 and a half hours to Sydney. KRISPY KREME STAND AT THE AIRPORT. So I'm all like, a dozen, sweet. So stupid. The text message to nightblooming and blakemitchell about the fact that I could only eat 2 of the 12 was quite amusing to them. These donuts would come in handy for hangover breakfast.
Meet cleverthings at the airport in Canberra. German tourist asks her to come back to Germany with her... Those men and their suspenders, I tells ya. Our taxi driver took us to the wrong hotel, so we walked a couple of blocks.
cleverthings: Oh a wood!
As we walked along.
We arrive to our room to find it empty. So we run upstairs to 311 to meet TFOK, spookshow_baby and babyfirefly, as well as the now infamous Shane, infamous to the Capital Executive Apartments SGAU members anyway. nightblooming and blakemitchell bring tidings of pizza. Many a person on a small balcony. spookshow_baby goes outside to retrieve a ringing phone but forgets to open the screen door. That was some funny shit.
We get ready for the ball. Plenty of eyeliner. 3 taxi's, 2 of which drop us off in random obscurity. The occupants of 311 and 308 (mattscope and his lovely date) trek in the dark and cold through to the back of the restaurant, past the band gear, and into the wonderful ball venue.
Met many a new person. Everyone was awesome. blakemitchell spotting me money to buy spirits - ya fuckin' champ! Without it, I would've remained a sober introverted sadsack.
The events at the pub were a highlight for me. When I had my own money to buy my own drinks, I could let loose, and have great conversations, dance all crazy-like with nightblooming and sing like EVERYONE was listening. Incidentally, we left not long before I'd planned to karaoke. Though blackphoenix did get to hear me when I chose to sing the backup vocals along to Otherside when someone chose that song. I think I'm fairly fucking awesome.
blacklamb likes holding my hand, and likes that I am tiny.
cj50ae and blackphoenix try to come back and party with cleverthings and I, but is refused entry by the nazi security guard. Such is his desire to be involved, cj50ae enquires about the cost of a room, which is $159 plus a deposit of $150 for the mini bar. blackphoenix has his wallet and will not let it go. So, cleverthings and I meet up with nightblooming and spookshow_baby whilst 311 is.. ahem.. occupied, and we try and get in to TFOK's room. After going back to 126 and calling TFOK, the 5 of us squish into the rather small spa. nightblooming looks FUCKING HOT in her "swimsuit". Her and I go back to 126, while cleverthings goes back up to 311. Many things happen at this point....
Awake to "GUYS!" by nightblooming, as we reluctantly wake, pack, and retreat to the car. Arrive in KFC at some town which, according to a road sign, appaarently has a castle of some sorts. blakemitchell screaming "BEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEEP!" and warning children that he does not like to be lied to about chickens wearing shoes and that KFC supports pedophelia. This trip is fun. A lot of roadkill, number 6 being the favourite.
I say goodbye to my new friends and catch 2 trains and a taxi to stay with a friend. We watch Sex and the City and eat pizza. Sleep, a bus, 2 trains and a plane later and I am home, requesting friends on SG.
