Heylo =]
I attempted to blog earlier and just put up a whole bunch of links to cute animal vids but I took too long and by the time I was ready youtube was fucking up and wouldn't let me embed anything. SO I'll skip to a journal-y type blog post instead.
hmm I don't know how to structure this. The part I care about (or have reflected on) is about last night, but it has been a busy few days so maybe I'll go in order.
Thursday: I already posted that day but Tim came over that night around 9pm because I had texted him saying I was hungry (i really just expected his usual reply back of something like "then eat.")...he actually came over and brought me food. It was possibly
the sweetest thing he has ever done for me =] All out of guilt mind you, but hey, I'll take what I can get.
Friday:
Watched Sex & the City 2 with Aly and Kate at stockies in wetheril park. It was okay, probably should have just streamed it like I did the first movie..lol MY GOD it was soooo long. Almost 3 hours and nothing ever really happens until the end and even then it's not that exciting, it was all very predictable. Mostly, it just felt like the movie was about showcasing as many designer outfits as possible. It was getting ridiculous though, like 3 changes of clothes on one camel ride =.= Plus Samantha has always been such an annoying bitch of a girlfriend. She's a selfish spoilt, high maintenance little bitch who naggs all day, demands she gets her way and usually ends up cheating on her partner. Plus shes ugly. Oh and it was disconcerting watching such OLD people on screen..and watching them have sex..ugh.
It's terrible that we live in a culture that doesn't appreciate old people and that aging is almost taboo. It's too late for me in some regards. I appreciate their contribution to society but that still doesn't mean I want to see people with wrinkles and grandchildren on the big screen having sex.
On the plus side, nobody else was in the cinema with us so we talked as loudly as we wanted and had an audio commentary going through the whole film. This made it much more enjoyable, especially since Tim doesn't let me talk through movies haha
Then Aly drove us back to her place and we got picked up by Michelle's mum who drove us to Cooks Hill. Then met up with Doro, Jess & Tim who were all already there. This was meant to be a girls night but it was the last time I was going to get to spend with Tim before he went to the snow. Then, thanks to Doro asking how long we had been together we realised it was our 13 month anniversary lol...eh oh well. It kinda feels like they don't matter at all anymore now that we've reached one year, not that we ever did anything b4 but at least I was more conscious of it. So we ate, we played pool AND sang Karaoke lol. I forgot that Fridays they have a Karaoke comp so we entered hoping we might win the $100 and have more money to spend on Alco for later. We didn't win =[ BUT technically we don't know that because we left b4 they drew the prize.
Walked home, got angry at Tim. We worked it out...mostly because I think Tim doesn't purposefully hurt my feelings. He's just an inconsiderate ass...lol but he's learning =] and I didn't want to be angry at him while he was away at the snow. He left. I drank with the girls, then doro and jess left. Kate dropped dead pretty early and me aly n mitch stayed up talking =]
It was fun ^.^ 2nd sleepover with the girls in a week. Sadly Stef couldn't make this one =[ but at least she was there on Tuesday night. I'm glad I've gotten to see them a lot more lately, it really felt like we were drifting apart...turns out they were all just busy with uni LOL..such responsible girls. Sucks I'm starting uni again now that they're all free, my uni timetable sucks. Same thing happened over summer. I was doing my pracs and uni classes the entire time they were on break. Then they start back again and I get 4 months off =.=
Saturday:
I had a nap coz I didn't get much sleep and Tim and Jamie came over. It was like a dream lol...I don't even remember looking at them. I vaguely remember an upside down kiss but for all I know that could have been Jamie HAHA I don't even know why they came :S I'm glad my dog's so familiar with my friends that he doesn't even bark or give them trouble to get into my house without me letting anyone in =.=
Later on mum finally dropped me off at Kurt's an hour late obviously but ehhh it was probably for the better, I hate being at partys early and I wouldn't have wanted to be at the one last night from the beginning. Not that it was bad or boring (despite what the Futterleib brothers said) but I didn't know anyone else. It was Ale and Ariel's bday. I didn't come to realise that they had turned 17 until the end of the party which felt a little wierd, I thought they were older. It was dress up, possibly the best effort on costumes I've ever seen for a backyard birthday. All slutty of course but they had the bodies for it (which is probably why I thought they were all a lot older...that and their actual sluttyness, not just looking the part but fucking in bathrooms, closets and bedrooms).
I brought the leftover alko from my place the night b4 and drank all night with Kurt. THEY HAD A SLURPY MACHINE..which was apparently alcoholic but I couldn't taste anything. I really don't know if I just didn't drink that much or my tolerance has gone up but I didn't even get slightly tipsy. It's odd, same thing at my place. I know I drank all night, but it didn't even touch me. I didn't even need to break the seal, both nights. I DON'T KNOW WHY. I'm starting to wonder if it's a safety thing my brain does. I've never been able to get drunk around the girls no matter how much I drink, mostly because I feel like I have to be in control. I don't know how to explain last nights party seeing as I didn't need to keep anyone safe or anything but yeh hmmm.
Anyway the party. It was a little bit surreal. It was a latino dominated party, seeing as the teenage latino community of Fairfield is made up of people who speak like lads and act like eshays it was fun to listen to snippets of conversations. I find it so crazy that all these kids were born here, in Fairfield, the same place I was born and grew up in but they all have a different accent to me, a very marked and distinct way of speaking, thinking, dancing and acting. It's fascinating, it's like stepping into a documentary on the subcultures of Sydney's West lol. I loved it.
"It's like watching youtube but in real life" Hmm some of my fav differences:
-Gabba. It's a dance style, I like it, it's easy to do as well, it's like a shit version of shuffling.
-Dance Offs. I know you see it in movies and it doesn't seem that different, BUT it is for me considering the large number of 'good dancers', I may need to rephrase that and change it to confident dancers. I also saw it at the Bring It On Festival dance party I helped run. It's crazy. I LOVE IT.
-Promiscuity. I know this happens in all walks of life, but it's still a strange concept to me, I know I'm no saint either but there's a difference between kissing a random and giving a complete stranger a gobby in my friends closet and then hooking up with another guy later that night. It wierds me out.
-Vernacular. Sikk kunt. Ur a fukn funny kunt. He's skucks. Or just using "and shit" as an adjective/filler word. For example "he's so hot and shit", "I got the jackie and shit"
-Coppas coppas punch em in the face, coppas coppas...but ur still a coppa and ur gayyyy: This group of people really seem to dislike the police. I've never had any dealings with them so I'm neutral. I stick to the idea that they are people who are good and honest and are trying to keep the peace in our community. Except... all the stories I hear about people who deal with the police seem to end with some sort of police brutality, layers of unnecessary red tape and jaded angry corrupt power hungry men. I just don't know what to believe, the kids who "vilify" the police have usual done something wrong, you know...like having stolen something, or tagged something or kniffed someone, so they're not exactly unbiased. Apart from everyone usually bursting into fits of rage when someone mentions the PIGS or they hear a siren in the background, they're also so very very comfortable talking about so and so being in juvi, or someones charges being dropped or something CRAZY. That's so not a normal part of my life but for them it is =S
-Aggression. Not that I saw any last night, but the guys always seem ready for a fight. I don't understand that. Generally at parties I've always been lucky enough to have just left b4 the gatecrashers came and started headbutting people or trying to rape underage girls. Never seeing violence makes me wonder if it's all just paranoia and talk and that boys like to dream about bashing people...WHY IS THAT?? Although I was listening to a recount of a fight that sounded so ridiculous.
It took place in juvi ...*sigh* They have both just arrived at juvi and are settling into their rooms. Don't forget to imagine that they are speaking like lads here and it has been rephrased so as to be understood by people who are unfamiliar with their dialect.
Boy1: *Stares at boy2*
Boy2: *avoids the stares of boy1*
5 minutes go by
Boy2: *looks up at boy1 and meets his gaze*
Boy1: WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!?
Boy2: What do you mean what am I looking at, you've been staring at me this whole time!
Boy1: *bashes boy2*
WTF!! How retarded is that. A fight over being accused of looking at someone. LOOKING. It's not even like he was checking out someones girl. That would have been slightly more understandable, sorta..but this!?? People are messed up.
Drugs: All people do drugs in some form. Every subculture has a different view on them obviously but in this setting, well, they're very normal and there seems to be a larger scale of acceptance of what I call "scary" drugs like ice or crack or pills. It's not like I saw anyone doing these drugs there, and this crowd in particular didn't seem like they were into that BUT there were a few exceptions. It's scary.
So apart from being excited at seeing how other types of people party and live their lives I had fun just catching up with Kurt and meeting a few new people. Then we walked home with Ryan(kurt's brother) and Kurt. The 30 minute walk turned out to be an hour long but it wasn't a big deal, I figured as much when kurt told me haha. Except..it probably wasn't the best idea with a sprained ankle. I can walk fine now except that going down stairs or up anything really steep really hurts. But yer...walking home..and having danced at the party too...not the smartest of ideas. The swelling has gone right back up and now the side of my foot and around my ankle is all bruised. Plus I have open blisters on both feet now from having walked lol. It's kind of a lot more sore now but whatever it will heal.
So once we got to Kurt's we kept walking and went to the park down the road and hung out with Ryan and some guy...I 4get his name, I think it was one of Ethan's friends. Ryan is fascinating. I love it when he raps haha he's really really good and he has this kool accent when he does it. Ryan's life would make a brilliant movie/doco lol
Eventually we went back to kurts and watched The Road to El Dorado. It's such a good film, it has some very adult themes in it which is odd thinking that that I was probably 10 when I watched it. I need to watch it again properly. Plus the music is great and the forest and Inca village is so beautiful. I got home early in the morning coz i was starving and I needed my puffer which I forgot to bring *facepalm*
On another completely unrelated note. I feel a little bit ashamed that I really like a lot of the songs that have been on the radio lately. LOL...
-We Speak No Americano by Yolanda Be Cool & DCup
-OMG (feat will.i.am) by Usher
-Break Your Heart by Taio Cruz
-My First Kiss (feat Ke$ha0- by 3OH!3
-Ridin Solo by Jason Derulo
argh dear god. I even like the way Can't be Tamed by Miley Cyrus sounds
-Opposite of Adults by Chiddy Bang
-In my head by Jason Derulo
-I like that by Richard Vission Static Revenger and Luciana
It's not like I love them..but I'm getting used to them and can sing along to most of whats on the radio these days *hangs head in shame* I think it's from being on radio now, we decide what we play technically, but we can only choose from radio friendly stuff..so yer.
Anywho, Tim got to the snow today with Jamie, Uly and Tim's family. They hit the slopes tomorrow. Hope they have fun, Tim has been looking forward to it since last year. So....what to do this week =S lol We'll see =]
New photos up later.
