So the past few weeks have been amazing. I practically moved into ashleigh's flat for a few days some weeks ago and spent all my time there on projects and trying to study for an english test with the help of my little brother's ritalin. But as one's parents warn you : "pills don't fix problems" - and i was too zombied out to even think of writing down anything remotely sensible. Save, "Fuck off, Jude the obscure". which were my initial intentions, but then i got a doctor to write me a little yellow letter and my world seemed better. To try and recount most of anything that went down over the past few weeks seems kinda redundant. I'm sure pictures explain loads more, and so I'll just make a short list of interesting things tha I've done as of late;
- worked very hard on a consumer behaviour project - worked very hard on various essays and assignments long overdue - joined the gym. Van and myself promptly bought a bottle of champaigne to celebrate our diligence - bought too much stuff and have to suffer for the rest of May. - Saw Elephants at the circus (without actually attending the circus) - Saw Tigers at the circus - hung out with Jaco a lot talking about our lives - watched Lorainne and Eric talk to eat other like children (awww...gesiggie!!) love you guys, nonetheless - housesitting ash's flat on thursday night. Couldn't sleep. stayed up on my own watching shopgirl, drawing postcards, drinking wine (thankyou lady across the parking lot for the three cigarettes at 3 in the morning, you are an angel) - friday morning cruised through to bellville and hooked up with marelise at my house. - spent the day working and Marelise read Chuck Palahniuk's "Choke" (in like a few hours she slaughtered that book all the way to the end - woweee.) - Friday night had a braai at Vanya's house. was icey cold. But food was delicious. Wine was ample. Eric and Looki babytalk in the background. Cosy fire. Cool people. Ash and me photographed like crazy by my brother (who Marchet insists is secretly in love with me - incest yay!) - coolest thing everrrr to see chetjie again. - afterwards the crazy weekend troops decided to go bust out on evol's dancefloor to the soothing ramblings of desmond at the tutu's. Vanya torturing me in her little sis's bright red spike heels. never ever ever will i go dancing in shoes like those ever again. - got back home with a bunch of drunkards moaning over empty bellies and somehow managed against all of my nonexistant domestic genes to cook up a brew which my little drunk friends adored. I distinctly remeber comments such as "yum!" and "dee-lish!" being exclaimed (okay, i made the last one up. but it was good okay???) - saturday spent in a state of dehydration. and trying to figure out big words in english readers. - saturday night ("and i like the way you move!") and we all shacked up at my house. dressed up like crazy kids and headed to chetjie's house to put on our make-up masks a-la miss cosmetic designer lady with her uber kit of awesomeness. and we all ende up looking way way way rad. - sunday spent at ash's dad's place trying to work. and eating enough jelly beans and other wierd things hidden in closets and microwaves and deep-freezers to keep my metabolism occupied to the end of the year. (and if anybody watched carte blanche - i have those friggin vienna's in my fridge!!!I've been horribly deceived. I feel CHEATED i tell you CHEATED)
