heat and hanging out
It is so hot lately, hotter than I like, and I love the heat. Give me summer any day over winter and I am happy. But right now, right now it's just too hot. It's uncomfortable, and impossible to escape. And it's late as well, it should be getting cooler and it just keeps getting hotter. It's like summer has been extended for another month or so, and maybe we'll get another winter that really isn't. The weather sucks. I truly do believe that this is because of global warming or whatever, that humans did this with pollution. It's not supposed to be this hot!
My weather application on Facebook is telling me that today the mecury hit 39 degrees celcius. Yesterday was 38.5. Wednesday was 36.2. Tomorrow and Sunday are expected to be 40c, and Monday is expected to be 39. Today in the Sydney paper it said that some place named Ivanhoe (map here) was expecting the hottest weather on the planet at the moment, at 47 degrees celcius. Also, that places around the Ivanhoe region, including Broken Hill, have had temperatures over 40c for the last nine days straight, and it's not letting up yet. The forecast is for thunderstorms mid next week, so I really hope that we get those and that it cooles things down. It's supposed to drop back down to the mid-20s by mid next week, which will be cold compared to this! The heat wave from down Melbourne and Geelong way has definately hit up here. I don't remember it ever being this hot.
So, with the exception of Courtney's birthday dinner, and going out with Ellie on the same night, I am going no where this weekend. Mark and I are camping out in front of the air cooler, and I don't give a shit how much our electricity bill is next time we get it. I really don't. We cannot survive without keeping both the air coolers on, unless we just stick to one room, which is going to be done easily this weekend. I nominate the study, with nights spent in the bedroom, and occasional trips to the bathroom and kitchen. The air cooler that we've got in the bedroom is amazing, but it goes through a fair bit of water. The air cooler we bought the other day is not so good, but is fine enough for sitting in front of, and it keeps us both cool in the study. We've just gotta get through the next few days and then things are supposed to cool down. I am happy to do nothing this weekend. I am fine with hanging around the house. Sunday will be a lazy day anyway, so it's all the better for me.
Last night was awesome. I drank a tequila drink, which tasted nice, and we had McDonalds for dinner and watched X-Men and then some Dexter and talked about sex, all night. I love those girls. Ally and Charlotte make me so happy, I'm on a natural high just from seeing them so often this last week. Ally had this dream about Michael, which was so completely random and hilariously funny. We were texting him today and he got the shits because I said something about his girlfriend. Michael is so touchy.
Ally and Charlotte are both crazy. Both of them are like insanely turned on by the character Dexter. Personally, I don't get it. Sure, he's not a bad looker, and he's not bad personality wise, but he's a serial killer! Take that away and he seems great, even if he is a little pessimistic. I don't think I'd like to date a serial killer. It's a pretty good show though. Mark's watched both seasons, but I'd never paid much attention to it. It's entertaining, even if it is a little psychotic.
There is some serious sexual atmosphere when we're all together mucking around. It's all because Ally is a virgin and Mark is a guy and he wants to fuck both of them (he seriously does) and they know how I feel about girls and there's just something there that's unspoken. And me writing this is going to freak Ally out, but it's ok because I know it's nothing more than tension between friends. We seriously need to get Ally laid. I'd volunteer, but I'm sure that when it comes down to being serious, Ally isn't interested in that sort of thing, no matter how much we all joke about it. Mark said he'd do it, but somehow I doubt that Ally wouldn't go for that. I'm not sure what happened with that guy that she was sort of dating back in Canberra, but she goes back there in a week so I guess I'll find out then. And we've corrupted Ally quite beyond any limitations that we had thought of. Our little Ally is all grown up and exceptionally dirty minded at times and it is hilarious because it is so unexpected. Ally was totally embarassed about the whole dream thing, even more so because it was Michael and she was just so shocked. I think it's funny. It doesn't mean anything. Maybe it just means that she's sexually frustrated (obviously) and subconsciouly thinking of being annoyed at Michael for some completely unrelated reason (there are plenty, for one he didn't go to her birthday dinner) and sleep meshed them together and voila, you have a sex dream with Michael as the main character. I personally never have sex dreams, so I think it's awesome that she does. I think I've had one, or something like that, and I can't even remember it.
They crashed, and today was good as well. We had McDonalds for breakfast, and I swear it, it is the last time I am having McDonalds for a while. I've had so much of it lately! We watched X-Men 2 and some more Dexter, and Ally went around midday, and Charlotte stayed and we just watched Dexter episodes and hung out and did nothing and it was lovely. Then I went to work.
People were fucking psycho today. Unbelievably so. I blame the heat. I think all the customers should just stay at home in their air conditioning and swimming pools and whatever. Lots of complaints, a few rude people who thought they were right but weren't, and one lovely gentleman who started verbally abusing two women because he thought they pushed into the check out line, when according to the girl on the check out the women were there first. And I'm like "so what? the guy has to wait an extra three minutes? big fucking deal", like seriously, it was ridiculous. Oh and there were kids in the store yelling out at random customers saying things like "ooh nice ass" and probably the opposite too, I didn't hear. And some older teens sitting in the diary aisles drinking drinks that they pulled out of the fridges (one milk, one juice and one Coke) and walked out leaving the bottles in the dairy fridges. They were real trashy looking people too, and I hate people like that. And I've decided that I hate smelly people the most. Ugly people can't help it, even though they could improve the situation, and I know that some people are just fat, and some people are just plain grumpy, but with smelly people, well they could at least shower. Or buy some deoderant.
We tried to get Michael to come over to have sex with Ally, even though I'm sure if it ever got down to being serious she wouldn't. And he wouldn't either, because of his girlfriend. The texts were going swimmingly with Ally being all suspicious of what we were saying, until I mentioned to Michael that he shouldn't bring his girlfriend over, for obvous reasons that he didn't pick up on. He asked why, I said because we didn't want to make her uncomfortable because she doesn't like us, and he got the shits and stopped texting me. Well it's true, she gets uncomfortable being around us and all our sex talk and all our touching and joking and implying and all that. He should know that. He's an ass most of the time anyway, doesn't care about anyone else except his damn girlfriend.
It's Courtney's birthday dinner tomorrow night. Ellie and Alastair are also going out to celebrate Ellie's 21st, and we're meeting up with them after Courtney's dinner. Mark isn't invited to that, due to numbers, and I'm not sure what he'll be doing before meeting us out. I'm seriously trying to convince Ally to come out, because we haven't been out since she's been back (with Christmas, New Years, the festival, me working, Charlotte working, Mark working and her doing her work placement), but it's not looking likely. She has this crazy, irrational thing about goodbyes that I completely understand, because I am just as crazy, irrational over other silly things. She's leaving on Sunday, and doesn't want to come out because she doesn't want to say goodbye, and because she's planning on leaving quite early on Sunday morning. I wish she'd come out, but I'd understand if she didn't. I don't want her to get annoyed at herself over not saying goodbye though, because if she leaves without doing so she'll feel bad about it after she's back in Canberra where she can think about it. It's definately one of those crazy, irrational things, but I love Ally all the same. I'm thinking I might just have both the girls over tomorrow for another movie session and not worry about asking her to come out drinking. As it stands I'm probably not going to drink much, and I'm probably not going to stay out very long. And that is fine with me, for once. I'm only going out for Courtney and Ellie.
Mark's out with Azaria and another girl at the moment, driving around because the other girl only got her licence like last week. And Azaria has ended up with a new car somehow. Someone obviously doesn't care about the price of petrol, but anyway. Before he left he just randomly threw up. It came from no where, he was fine one minute, and coughing up stuff the next. He still went out, even though he was still coughing and half heaving. I tried to tell him to stay home. It's probably just the heat, because he felt fine before it, so it doesn't seem like he's got a virus or anything like that. I really hope he's alright, I didn't want him to go out.
I am now retiring to the bedroom, to read, because it is so damn nice in there.
