The extended weekend wrapup
It's been four days and four nights, and I feel like I've been on holidays for two weeks.
Friday night saw me catching up with a friend, watching a bunch of anime and chilling out. Much needed :)
Saturday began with a few hours over at work, doing my domain thing. Got to hang out with Paul too, which was good.
Some missions and some tele, and soon enough Amaya was on my doorstep direct from the airport and bearing episodes of Entourage and season 2 of Dead Like Me.
Much smoking and caffeine and Entourage :D
Eventually it was time to get ready and head off to Critical Mass... With Mason in tow, we headed in and remembered to have that last smoke before we went in, antismoking laws meant it was impossible to smoke in the arena at all, even in the chill out room...
We managed to rendezvous (completely unplanned) with the rest of the crew and soon enough we were inside. I really miss big raves...
Managed to catch up with everyone I wanted to see out... even some I didn't expect to be out and about!
Scott Brown was awesome, Neophyte was awesome. One day I should learn how to stomp. Had a paranoia attack just before the rave finished. Not fun. Once I was at the recovery though I felt much much better.
The recovery was fun, managed to have the good people all together. Started falling asleep at some point... then after everyone moved on I couldn't actually sleep. Went on missions later for further catch ups, z0r was quite amusing.
Watched a whole lot more Entourage... hung out with Amaya more, finally decided to go to bed around 1am, Monday morning.
But I couldn't sleep restfully. My mind was racing. As soon as I started sleeping I had paranoid dreams and would wake up in a sweat with my heart racing. I tried counting sheep, tried counting cows (since sheep didn't work... hah, girl logic). Didn't help. I ended up getting back up after trying to sleep for 3 hours. It was then around 4am.
Chatted online to some people, wasted time on the interweb. Took some nurofen for the now raging headache I had. I was about to go to bed, then one of my best friends came online and chatted to me for hours, helped me to chill out and feel so much better. By this time, the sun was up and it was 7am. Finally I was ready to crash.
I slept without incident until fiendy showed up around midday yesterday to take Amaya and I on licence missions and food missions. Yay. Food, for the first time in days. Real food. I think that was my first meal in... 2 days. At least. Hungry Jacks never tasted so goood.
Some Mallratting, and the purchase of a new desk toy for me, an Astro Boy figure. Pictures will come soon :)
Went to a lookout to kill some time before dropping Amaya at the airport. Making fun of emo couples :P Then it was off to Jindalee to watch Survivor Series. Always entertaining, but given I fell asleep in the car on the way there, and again during the match, and on the way home, it was time for sleep.
Got home and, well I couldn't sleep. Watched more Entourage - god I love this show. Stayed up til 1am this morning and crawled into bed, ready for sleep.
Slept in til 11.30am. Like a log. Soooo good.
Today, I have finished all the Entourage I was given. 3 seasons in 4 days.
Back to work tomorrow, but only for three days, then I get the weekend - YAY.
I suppose I should do some laundry and some cleaning... on to Dead Like Me, season 2. ;)
