Eventful journey home

Crazy is the word that describes my journey home last night lol... let me explain.

Last night I was at a pub called Bridie O'Rielleys for a good friend's 19th party (Sabbi was with me) which turned out to be an awesome night... shots all round! lol. I had these shots called Doughnuts which are actually pretty awesome, as well as pints of beers (haha pints are the best invention ever!), but I was pretty sober which was a nice change, met some new people, good times all round.

Quote of the night "Sabbi, come on, who has the more moneys?"

Speaking of new people, I met this awesome Russian by the name of Demetri, funniest guy ever lol. He reminds me of a splitting image of Chris Waitt from the movie 'A Complete History of My Sexual Failures' both looks and behaviour, although way more upbeat. He was a great guy, reckons he has just come to Australia about 4 months ago, applied to 400 jobs (apparently) and finally managed to get a job at Harvey Norman haha. He even came to Bridie's on his own as he had just finished work and decided to stop by haha! Aww I feel bad now, I remember him mentioning he has no friends here in Australia, I could of been his friend.

Roughly 2am or so Sabbi, Shannon and I decide to head home, and what a journey that turned out to be. We were 5km or so from the city and since we had spent all our money for the night on drinks, we weren't able to afford a taxi therefore we had to walk to the city lol. Sabbi had freakin' towers for shoes on, which proved slow and painful for both of us... (painful for her for obvious reasons, painful for me because of how slow we were walking). Being the gentlemen I am, I offered that she wears my shoes and I'll walk the dangerous, shattered bottle filled streets in my socks.



Can you see what's wrong with this image?

The walk home consisted of a lot of running for some reason, I can't recall why. On the way we find and meet a girl called Vanessa who asked us for directions, I could tell something was wrong and asked her if everything was alright. Turned out everything was not alright, and she burst into tears! She had just come from a rather crazy ordeal involving psycho ex-boyfriends and the likes and was struggling to hold herself together. After some smartass jokes from myself, some kind words from Sabbi and a big group hug, she was back to her smiling ways =) By this stage we were about 1 or 2 km's from Chapel St (the street that Bridie's is on), which was the street Vanessa needed to get to, but as if we could let her walk that distance on her own, so we walked her back to Chapel St lol.

Haha there was a funny moment when I went to prank Vanessa's phone so she can have my number (in case she needed help later on)... however I accidentally pranked my other friend Vanessa... this was 2am lol. Oops!

On the way for some reason we decided it would be a good idea to all switch shoes lol.


Shannon trying desperately to feel like Cinderella with Sabbi's shoes.


Sabrina proving that variety is key. I think it's a good look.






With shoes back to normal (although I am still in socks) and Vanessa off to safety, we turn back around to walk to our original destination, the city. On the way (and I have to mention this to rub it in =P) Sabbi said some very harsh words to yours truly, so we were not on speaking terms for a little while haha. Then as good mates do we were laughing our heads off again, now in the search of some food and the Nightrider bus!

Oh yeah, if you tell a friend to distract a security guard while you want to sneak up to the second floor of the Maccas to use the bathroom (cause it is off limits at that time of night)... you would expect them to wouldn't you? Well, this was not the case, instead Sabbi just goes up and asks the security guard if I was allowed to, which he obviously said no... he then moved over to stand by the stairs to guard it with even more scrutiny after the tip off that had just been supplied to him lol...

We said our goodbyes to Shannon as he found his bus... which left Sabbi and I to guess roughly which bus we were meant to get lol. The bus ride was nuts! It was packed so I had to stand for most of it... then there was these really loud guys at the back of the bus which must of been angering some lone dude right at the front. The lone dude then snaps with the noise and runs to the back of the bus shouting at the loud guys, and they have this massive verbal argument haha...

We ended up kind of close to my house, and luckily with our remaining cash we got a taxi to my home for the remainder of the trip... with the coolest taxi driver ever! Shaved off like $3 from our fair and was actually pretty funny. So yes.. we finally made it home at 4.30am after about 2 hours of travel lol, great night!

The best things in life are always when you least expect it.

Just 'cruising' through life

A lot can happen in one day. You wake up in the morning, and if you've got the time you might even spend a little while running through what the day ahead of you will have in store. Well it seems that in one of my typical days, a lot more happens then most other peoples lol.

I was at work today and out of no where I get a call from Jason. That's strange, he knows I have work, why would he call now?

"Hey Jace, what's going on?"
"Aaron, I got a question for ya... would you be interested in going on a cruise?"
"Umm yeah sure I guess so, when abouts, where to?"
"It is booked for April 7th to the 17th, goes from Sydney to around the Vanuatu and surrounding islands, costs $1800 which includes a bunch of stuff, it's a P&O cruise"
"Booked? What you mean booked?"
"Haha well, me and Michael (another friend of ours) were chatting last night right, Mick's brother is going on this cruise and was telling us about it, sounded way awesome. Today Mick's mum went to the travel agency and booked us in! And we need 4 people or else we can't go because it is a package deal"
"Haha no way... umm, ok give me a few days to decide"

(Usually I would say yes without giving it a thought, but I am going to Singapore in a few weeks, and Thailand mid year, so the cost of all these holidays was starting to add up)

"Well, actually... we need to know by 4pm today" (at the time it was roughly 1pm)
"Haha your kidding!... ok I'll call ya back later"

Long story short, they had also asked Peter if he wanted to go (as they expected it to be hard to find a 4th person within such a short amount of time)... I called back to say yes I am in, they tell me that Peter had already called seconds beforehand and he had said yes already. Damn! I missed out! I was kicking myself soooooo bad! As I said, usually I wouldn't even think about it and jump right in... why the hell did I hesitate... well that's one lesson I am determined to learn.

But alas! Peter is notorious with being highly unreliable... there is like a 80% chance that when he agrees to go somewhere (fishing, movies, wherever), that he will cancel just before it is time to go. Jason knew this, so on the phone he says that Peter has already said yes, however we both know how he is like, so we will see if he is still in by the days end.


Within the hour he had already pulled out haha! I'm in! =D

Peter's 21st

Best. Party. Ever! I cannot sum up in words how much fun this party was lol, and how unexpected it all turned out!

I will start from the beginning... ahem. =P Peter is one of my best mates (well, kind of, not sure anymore.. ok he is a friend of some sorts at least lol) and Saturday night just gone was his 21st party. My group of mates (mates I have been with for about 9 years now) have been day dreaming about each of our 21st parties for years now... but due to all the stuff that has happened this year (namely my situation, betrayal, loss of friends)... our original group is close to breaking point, so I wasn't really looking forward to this party at all (nor Jason's 21st which is this Saturday...). Which now that I think about it is such a shame, and is pretty messed up... anyways.

Of course 'them' were going to be there as well... fucking yay... this was to be the second time I am to see them in person (although I still refuse to talk to them, see that decision at 'The time has come. Step up.'), but it is still a hassle having to avoid them as I really don't want to be amongst a circle of people chatting with them in the mix...

Night started out pretty boring, I started really slow on the drinks (Sabbi drove), and made pathetic chit chat to whoever was around me. Not very fun at all lol. It picked up a little bit when I was in the garage with about 5 friends, and 'they' were out of sight in the back yard.

Finally like 11pm the cake got cut (to which I then tried to leave but Sabbi wouldn't let me lol)... so I grudgingly stayed, with the help of a few beers. After that I am not sure what happened between then and time to go home (not because I was drunk)... just one moment I am in the garage chatting with a friend, the next second it is 4 hours later at 3.30am, I am off my face laughing my absolute head off with a circle sitting around me, and Sabbi is telling me it is time to go home haha =D

Those 4 hours were just... no idea lol, the absolute best! I haven't laughed so hard in years... one of the key people on the night was a long time friend of mine, Samantha (who is one of rebecca's old best friends from back in the day) who is now a good friend of mine. We laughed so hard, I can't even remember what about lol.

Sabbi offered to take Sam home with us, which meant for another fun drive home (much like one of our last great drives home, which Sabbi documented here). To start off, apparently I shotgunned driving haha! This part has slipped my memory though. She obviously said no, to which I protested and fought her for the keys lol. She won so as you do, I cracked it. Yay for adult tantrums!

I sat in the back seat with Sam which was HILARIOUS fun! We got Maccas on the way of course (can't have a drinking night without it!), which just added to the fun.

Sabbi: "Can I have a chip?"
Sam: "Yeah sure" (goes to pass her one)
Me: "No that's not how you pass a chip!" (chips away! haha!)

(Picture: One of the chips that we found upon inspection the next day)

We dropped off Sam to her house, then on the way to mine (and this is my favourite part of the night lol) I threw an 'unknown object' out the window while we were driving lol. The reason I say unknown is because it is just that, unknown. I can't remember what it was, all I know is that it came from Sabbi's car haha! I tried really hard to remember in the morning... I keep thinking it was an apple, but I don't think there were any apples in the car. Oh well, one day I am sure Sabbi will realise something is missing lol.

One of the best nights I have ever had, and completely unexpected!
