Commencement and Random Fun
I had a random night last night; got home from dinner with the Crowley family, and ran into friends Justin and Ailsa in the common room.
We were all bored, so we went up to my room and chatted. German Tom called and invited me out to a party, so I asked Justin and Ailsa if they wanted to go. After making Justin try on some high heels (don't ask), we all piled into Ailsa's car and drove off to this house warming party in Lyneham. Canberra is so damn small! I went to this party, expecting not to know anyone, and I ran into 2 people I know from Burgmann...random. Anyway, that party was boring except for the cool "Communist Hat" that I stole from one of the party people. Justin, Ailsa and I ran off with Tom's friend at one stage to retrieve a styrofoam plaque with the element Barium printed on it, which Justin had supposedly stolen from a Science lab last year, and then had it stolen from him. See what I mean about random? Then we went back, got Tom, and went to his friend's house, which was a fucking palatial estate...the best student house I have ever seen. They had a Roman-style bath, and huge rooms, and a commercial sized laundry...oh my God, soooooo jealous. Tom and his friends fancy themselves a touch classy, so we were treated to expensive alcohol, while one of them in particular talked about their $450 Versace sunglasses. Amused at how pretentious and shallow they could be, I unleashed my cruel streak and, with biting comments, made them feel about 2 feet tall. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the alcohol and the luxury of the house.
By about 3am, Justin and I were bored, and Ailsa was being chatted up by one of Tom's friends who collects china dolls, so I figured I better save her. She was tired, Justin can't drive a manual, and I was sober, so I drove them home. Everyone seemed very surprised that I could drive stick. Go the independent woman.
I realised too that I like being a player. I have this horribly cruel desire to just play around with men - I am totally getting off on this power trip. They are so easy to control. But I think it may come back to bite me in the arse one day...
Commencement Dinner was on Thursday night; a chance to get dressed up all formal and pretty, and to get free alcohol! Yay! Always a good thing...
Anyway, I rushed home from work on Thursday night, got ready very quickly, met up with Ailsa, and we nervously tottered down to the common room for pre-dinner drinks. Everyone looked so shiny and new! It's amazing how nice college kids scrub up. Justin, along with other people, commented on how nice I looked, which pleased me greatly, although I think they were just surprised to see me in a dress as opposed to kicking things.
Dinner was ok...we had assigned seating, so we couldn't sit with friends, just randoms. Almost got into a debate with the guy sitting across from me about the existence of God, but I restrained myself. After dinner, and a mass photo taking session, everyone congregated in the courtyard, ready to head out to Civic for par-tay-ing.
Got to Moose, was exceptionally bored, accidentally ran into German Tom, and headed off to Hippo Cocktail Bar with him, Ailsa and one of his friends. Tom bought me a $13 cocktail...now there's commitment to a cause, ha ha ha.
Around 2am, we caught a cab home with a Russian cabbie, who started going on about how great Australian women are, and saying Ailsa and I were very beautiful and how fabulous Ailsa's legs were. Then, according to Tom's limited understanding of Russian, the cabbie started saying various things about girl parts. He also undercharged me for the cab ride...$3 instead of $9!
Got home, broke into a guy's room with Ailsa, tried to wake him up to make out with Ailsa, but he was a piker, so I broke into Brendon's room instead, where he was asleep on the couch. Woke him up, and we crashed on his bed and chatted for hours, until 5am. Then I struggled down to my room, to get 2 hours sleep before glorious work on Friday morning!
But a damn good night. I love Ursula Hall. I love university.
Ailsa and I, all prettied up
Megan, David, myself and Ailsa, standing in front of a big fan, looking windswept and music video-like
Attack of the boobs! Trina and I, looking sultry
Paul and I
My Senior Resident, Rob
Dale and I
Myself, Honeysha and Ailsa
Justin, I think her name is Karen, and Bec
Myself, Kim and Jeremy
Bec trying to insert her tongue in Justin's ear
I think he was a bit shocked
Tom (non-German, non-stalker Tom) and myself
Out in Civic, we ran into Joe, from Burgmann, who was busking...love Joe, such a funny random...note the sign above our heads; how appropriate
German, supposedly stalker Tom...Julia hasn't even met him and she already hates him, he he he
Tom and Ailsa, out in Civic
Aw, college buddies
