Andie's and a car accident
Last night was awesome. The party was awesome. Getting drunk with friends was awesome. Crashing minorly on the way home was not so awesome though.
I love getting drunk with songswontcheat , or Gabby, as I named her a while back. It is always lots of fun. And she has the coolest camera because the viewer swings around so you can take the perfect drunk selfies, and then not wake up the next day with a whole lot of horribly misaimed photos. I also love drinking with Joe, because he's so cool when he's not being an ass, which is only at work. He was actually pretty quiet last night, which was unusual. I love seeing Miranda outside of work. I love drinking with Nat, because I haven't done that in a while. It's too hard to organise to all go out when we all work such different contracts now. I didn't see much of Andie, being that it was her party and she was always talking to everyone at the same time, but it looked like she had a great party which is good.
We all started taking photos once a table got tipped over and all the cameras were brought out to capture that. People were sitting at the table, but then the only person sitting on one side got off and it tipped, and candles and beer bottles and chips were all over the ground. Joe cleaned it up, and Steven's mother said she was amazed he didn't get one of us girls to do it because he's all about the delegating at work. Then we all just had a whole heap of fun taking photos of everyone. Miranda's are all on Facebook already, but I'm guessing Andie's won't be for a while, and Gabby's probably some time in the next few days.
Nat, Gabby and I kept moving throughout the night and sitting with different people and then on our own. Hannah disappeared relatively early into the night and none of us heard her goodbye. I don't know why she left so early. Mark didn't stay for long either because he wasn't feeling too well, and he'd decided not to drink so got bored. He promised to come and pick me up later so that was good. Most of the managers at work were at the party. Katie was there, and was drinking even, although she's had one shift in the last two months and cut out all the rest of her hours last week because she wasn't well enough. I don't doubt that she's on the mend now and that she really was ill, because what she had was pretty serious, but if that had been anyone else, we would have been in big trouble for skipping out on work like that and then going out drinking. I think it's pretty cool that we're all friendly enough at work to be able to go out and drink together, even though we definately do have our own little cliques.
The party continued when it started raining. Actually I think that's when it got better. Gabby and I danced in the rain (we were already dancing before that) with the liquor 2IC and one of the perishables guys. Gabby kept going on about how the liquor 2IC wants her bad but he's married. He's younger than both of us and he's married. It's crazy. I think it's funny, from what she was saying he definately does want her bad. She also said that he only got invited because he whinged to Andie that he hadn't, so she invited him and his wife. I can see that happening. He's friendly, but not overly friendly with any of us. Gabby and I got absolutely soaked dancing in the rain, but it was very fun.
By that time it was nearly 11pm and the party was officially coming to an end. I'd had three and a half drinks and was feeling very drunk. Not that that's unusual for me. I hadn't eaten much at all except a frankfurt, two little pieces of sausage roll, a pastry thing and a piece of cake. I also don't drink much, and the damn anti-depressants make getting drunk pretty damn easy. I didn't realise how drunk I actually was until Mark had rang me and told me that he was on his way to come and meet me. I decided then that I'd better go home, even though I'd told everyone that I'd go out. Gabby was disappointed, because Gabby leaves for London in a month and she's going for two years, but I will go out with her before she leaves, if she doesn't have her going away party. Andie didn't object when I told her that I was going, but she hadn't really spent much time with us anyway. When Mark got to Andie's place he told me that he wasn't going out because it was raining pretty heavily. I agreed to just go home, so we went.
He was supposed to be going out because Azaria was going out, but now that he wasn't he said that the plan was that Azaria was just going to come over. I was far too drunk to care, or even really be paying attention to the fact that that meant that my boyfriend would be sleeping with someone other than me. I have thrush (again) anyways, so it's not like I was going to be getting any. On a side note, I am making a doctor's appointment this week cause I am so damn over it.
On the way home we had a very minor accident. It's Mark's first accident, and he's pretty pissed off about it. He lost control going through a round about and mounted the gutter pretty hardly. He hit it on the right angle though so it only bent his axle and it'll probably cost a lot to fix but it's better than it could have been. He said he was going slower than usual because it was raining, and I honestly don't remember how we took the round about. It had been raining pretty hard though, and the road was pretty wet. I don't blame him, these things happen. I'll help him pay to fix it. He wouldn't have been driving if I didn't need picking up, but that's just how things go. He also punctured his front tyre. He drove a little while up the street we were on and turned into our street (we weren't that far from home) where he stopped to get a better look at the damage. Luckily Azaria was on her way to our place because she came to where we were and Mark used her headlights to see by. He changed the tyre and we made it home, but he said it was quite hard to steer. He's getting his dad and Michelle's husband to come over and have a look at it today. Michelle's husband is a mechanic so he'll be able to tell us how much it'll cost to fix, as well as fix it when we get it to his shop. It sucks because Mark's rego is due at the end of this month, and that's going to be around $900, plus however much this is going to cost to fix. But it's happened now so we're just going to have to get it fixed and deal with however much it costs. I guess we're quite lucky that we crashed where we did and there were no poles or fences or anything, and the only damage is a bent axle. It could have been worse.
I went straight to bed and straight to sleep when we got home. Mark stayed downstairs with Azaria, which I knew was going to happen. He wasn't in bed when I woke at 9am, or even when I woke at 7am, so I guessed that she'd stayed. Mark came and talked to me while I was in the shower, telling me that they'd had sex (but that he didn't finish because he hates condoms cut she's not on birth control) and that she was still here. When I went downstairs I walked in on them kissing and then she left. Probably to go home, have a shower, get some rest, as Mark went to sleep soon after. Mark goes "well that was awkward", having me walk in on them kissing, but honestly I didn't mind. He said that he's pretty sure that's all their relationship will be; purely sexual. I knew that they were downstairs, and I knew what they'd been up to all night, and I'm cool with it. She thought it was awkward, and it would be for her, but it wasn't for me. Mark assured her that I'm not angry (as he does every time they see each other!). Yea, I was reading his texts. I do that a fair bit.
Mark's finally getting out of bed again now. I have to go to work in an hour. I'm shattered tired and I don't know why because I got plenty of sleep last night. Azaria is coming over again while I'm at work. She was also here yesterday afternoon. I don't mind so much, but I do feel a little pushed aside, maybe it's just because it's all turned around so quickly. Once they realise that I'm not going to go crazy again it'll all settle down, but I get the impression that it's like how me and Melissa were at first. As much as possible, as quickly as possible. Once things slow down we'll figure out the dynamic and how we're going to seperate our time. I'd prefer her to be here while I was at work anyway. I don't like it when she stays the night because they stay up all night, and then Mark will sleep all the next day. Azaria is house sitting with Rose at the moment, and I'm guessing that neither Mark or Azaria really want to do anything out there, but maybe once Azaria is back home he might go there. I don't know. We'll figure it out at some point I guess.
This is Azaria. For Gabby who wanted to know who she really was so that she could shun her next time she saw her. That makes me LOL. Gabby goes "she's not cool enough to be sleeping with your boyfriend". I think it's really cool that Gabby has her own blog, and that nothing I say in mine has made her dislike me. That's what I was so worried about, it's what I've been worried about with everyone I know in real life. It's a bit weird talking about this sort of stuff in real life though, but funny. A good weird. I like it.
