Yesterday was a pretty awesome and interesting day by far. Started off with me waking up ridiculously late, feeling sluggish and unmotivated to do anything which seems to be the trend now a days. The doldrums appear to be a common starting or ending point, both I'm not too fond of because realistically speaking now, who ENJOYS being miserable. No Avik, I DON'T enjoy being miserable, it does NOT make me happy to be this way and I'm not CHOOSING to allow it to fester either. Despite what you may think, I would wish any other emotion OTHER than this at the moment, ... however pain associated with my menstrual cycle would have to take the cake, there's no WAY I'd choose that over anything.
Getting to Nat's and seeing all my friends working away with their laptops open, books strewn all over the floor and brows furrowed as if in deep thought (it comes and goes with us all) I was immediately motivated and driven to accomplish some much needed work. Nate never crept into my mind, I listened, questions, read, typed, contemplated and strategized different angles I'd approach my paper, what I'd include, what wasn't necessary, and what bullshit sounded just right.
Afterwards, we attempted to watch a movie on my laptop (HA) which didn't work out too well because my stupid Asus GAMER laptop has speakers UNDERNEATH the damn thing..... because THAT'S practical!!! Emperor's New Groove was tossed, even though I personally like that movie, "Bad Lama!", then it was Breakfast @ Tiffany's, can you say CLASSIC?! Snacks and yummy goodness was tossed into the mix, along with Ellie and Emily coming in every so often to see how we were doing. Someone brought wine, and *drool* it was nice, there was pizza ordered and OMFG, I have decided never again to have thin crust pizza. I think I ate like 6 or 7 pieces and my stomach asked me "What the hell Di?! Stop feeing us NOTHING!" Dough all the way, gotta love dough. There's nothing like biting into a juicy, thick, plump piece of doughy pizza with tons of toppings and sauce running all over it..... *drool* gaaaaah ... not a fan of paper pizzas.
In the end, I had to leave early because I had to catch a bus (which I actually missed anyway) since I live in no where land, but before I left the girls busted out an AWESOME strawberry CHEESECAKE! THANK YOU!!!!!! Much love, much. SOOOOOOO YUMMY I couldn't have asked for anything better.
Now onto the interesting part of the day. As a Skype user, you're on a list, and people can search for certain characteristics, and possibly find you. So far, I've had people from Iran calling me, people from other countries coming to Australia who want me to show them around, and most recently, some random dude asking me "How far would you drive before kicking me out of the car and making me walk all the way back?" WTF? During our study session that message popped up and I let Nick answer for me.
"I'd drive you hard and fast until your breaking point and you couldn't take anymore, then it's tuck and roll. Hope you brought clean underwear."
We all laughed, until the dude responded with "I wasn't talking about sex."
So then we responded in kind, "Neither was I."
I didn't pay further attention to my phone until I was sitting on the bus at 11:20pm heading back to Morley. I looked at my phone and realized that there was a message on Skype. The dude had responded: "So how many km?" I was intrigued. Honestly, who the hell starts a chat with some random person asking such a ridiculous question? So, curiosity peaked, I started chatting with him. I added in particulars, that it would have to depend on the place, the season, the time of day, if there were any rabid animals around, and how long I'd want to endure his company before chucking him. He answered all of them, but it started getting creepy.
"North of Perth, the Pine tree fields."
what?
"I live in Wanneroo, so there are no animals."
that's...... 10 min from me......
"It's winter time, in the evening.... it's dark."
At this point I'm now kind of freaking out, because this dude is CLOSE to where I live, wtf? So I just add something stupid to end the conversation: "I'd drop you from a plane, and if you happened to survive, you could crawl back."
Satisfied, I closed my phone. But a message came through.
"No plane, besides I can't picture you flying one."
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!??!!
What do you MEAN you can't PICTURE me flying one?
I ended the convo, closed my phone. Didn't look at it until I'd arrived back in my room 12:30am, signed onto skype with my laptop and blocked this guy's ass. Apparently his birthday is the 4th of May, he's 35 .... and lives 10 min from me. WHAT.....the fuck. No more chatting with random crazy skype people, curiosity was shot, the cat fell. On the ground it'll remain.
Today... has been long. Too long and it's only 5pm. I had to lifeguard at the pool around the corner from me @ 7:30am - 3:30pm. Ridiculous, I'm not lifeguarding anymore. I refuse. I'd rather shoot myself in the face and try to piece together everything than guard again. Wait, if I shoot myself in the face my mouth will be messed meaning ... no foodage ... can't have that. No more guarding, I'd rather eat doo doo butter.
