Well its 1:07 AM and I cant sleep because i only just got home. So I am going to tell you all about the awesome night i just had.
First of all it starts with Kyle...in a weird sort of way, you see when I first moved to Brisbane to live with two gay men I think he sort of panicked, and being the heterosexual best friend he is found it his duty, nah, his meaning in life, to find me a girl so that i did not turn to the darkside (not that that would have happened anyway, but Kyle has no faith in me). Anyway, I had my eyes set on a girl at that particular time, btu kyle, Having been my best mate for over 7 years and seeing me make as many mistakes as i do when it comes to people of the opposite sex, saw me making another and warned me against it, i told him he was wrong and that it was going to work and everything would be peachy. Kyle being the smart bloke he is took it upon himself to give a young lady by the name of Sarah who he knew from Karting (thats lingo for Go-Karting :P) my number. As it turns out Kyle was right about everything...AGAIN! Things with the girl i had my eyes fixed upon came crashing down around me, and Sarah and I began to talk more and more. Enough of the prelude, now onto the story.
After having spent months telling eachother we should go out some time, and never being free at the same time, I get a call from Sarah telling me she isnt working Thursday or Friday and wanted to know if i wanted to go see a movie with her. Ofcourse i said yes and we arranged to meet at the sothbank cinema's at 7:00 Tonight. 7 O'clock comes and im walking around the corner to the cinema's, I wait for 5 minutes and then i spot her......and WOW...lol I had only ever seen her in photo's before, so i knew she was gorgeous, but in real life she was like.......*gets up, dances around, jumps up and down on the bed and does a handstand*. So yes anyway we stand inline at the movies trying to decide what we wanted to go see, Sarah picked "Nacho Libre" its the movie with jack black about the monk who wants to be a wrestler, I suggest everybody go see it, its fucking hilarious.
The movie only went for an Hour and a bit, so it was incredibly short, and felt even shorter, what can I say? Time flies when your sitting next to a beautiful hairdresser who keeps smiling at you. Oh and Sarah is a hairdresser, i wasnt hitting on another person while i was on a date, im not that bad. Anyway, the movie finished and we walked back towards the river to the parking lot where she had parked....and forgotten where abouts in the car park she had parked, so we hunted down her car, and decided we would go for a drive to wynnum. For those of you unfamiliar with Wynnum it is a suburb on the southside, the river runs right through it andf their is a big pier (kinda like at the bay, except less tashy) that runs right out into the river. We walked to the end of it and at down, and it was perfect, it was jsut the two of us, at the edge of the pier listening to the water and watching the shooting stars, talking about everything, how bad my formal was, how good hers was, how much old people named sibel and velma who come in to get perms and hit and bitch at everyone suck, just random conversation and much laughing for a few hours and maybe some teenage lets make out on the end of the pier style making out...but shhh lol
So anyway that ended with us sitting in the car next to the train station as the last train of the night pulled up, and me sprinting across the road like the fool I am and jumping onto the train just as the doors close...i didnt realise the train only went as far as the city.....DOH!!!
I get to Roma St, get off the train and find a station officer to ask him if there were anymore shorncliffe trains coming tonight "nah mate, your pretty much fucked" was my answer. I then proceeded to call MAtt and tell him if he loves me he would drive all the way into the city to pick me up, i ended up telling him not to worry about it, because he has work in the morning and really really didnt want to. So plan A and B were striked, down to plan C, I walk to JB hi-fi to see if there are any buses going near chrissie's place, that gave me my option C and D, C: get the bus to where she lives, and then a cab to my place because its only a short drive away, or option D: riong chrissie and beg her for a bed for the night because im sick of sleeping at the train station. There were no buses, so that scraped that idea. Finally i decided to check out PLan E....I walked to a cab rank, looked for coolest looking cabbie, and asked him how much it would be to get me to boondall. "I rekon i could do it for about $30" was his answer, I ummed and ahhed and then said sure why not. I gave him thirty dollars and said drive, we had the best conversation, if all cabbies were like him id get a cab everywhere. He put the fare on "pause" for me, which means that the metre only runs when the car is moving, he have me advice on how to claim more tax, talked about how everytime he missed the train when he was a lad from his gal's place because they were "going together" they would sleep in the loungerrom, and when her fathers alarm went off for him to wake up, he would sprint out the front door, awesome cabbie this guy was.
We get almost to my place, about another 5 minutes drive, and the meter ticks to $30, the cabbie goes "ahh you seem like a good bloke and a good conversation is hard to find these days, so i'll take ya the whole way. How awesome is that. He drops me off at my front door, i STRUT inside, high off of one of the best nights ive had in ages, make myself a drink of milo, and start writing this. It's 1:42 now, and im feeling tired, so i think i'll head off to bed and get some shut eye ready to go to the cri tonight, gotta remember to thank Kyle for knowing whats best for me lol.
Anyhoo, Goodnight all!
