the weekend so far
Lets see, whats been happening in my busy busy life:
Friday work was okay but it was Stacey's 18th birthday and she had the day off so I wasnt working with her which was sad but at least she came to work for her free drink. Bianca and I worked with Elise instead who was hungover which was quite funny to watch because she was sooooo out of it and we all went nuts in the afternoon of course. There was a spider hiding on a pineapple and I screamed and I think all of Castle Towers heard me!
Friday night went to a nice party-get-togethery-piss-up-thing at Peter & Randy's friend Mark's house in Turramurra. Man their group are so cool! Im such a leech, has anyone noticed that I attach myself to various other groups, I'd say the Berowra folk are my main group, but I have so many little groups that I associate myself with, and it ends up getting rather confuzzling. But yeah they're awesome people. We got drunk and played poker, which I didnt even know how to play except Peter was helping me and I was so off-my-face I was hardly aware of much most of the time.
You see, because Spiro was in the mechanics I didnt have to drive, Peter drove pretty much all of us - so I got to drink! Which was cool because I never get to drink anywhere, because I live in Cherrybrook and have to drive to get anywhere at all! Damn lack of public transport!
But yeah! It was fun! Poker was great, I got inebriated on Malibu (i STILL have the bottle I bought in Forster!!! See how drunk I never get!!!) & Pineapple juice, Randy got inebriated on Absynthe - he had a whole hip flask of the stuff, he stank of it the rest of the night and probbaly still does now. But yeah. he was our entertainment for the evening because he was so drunk. I did hear one rather amusing sotry of one time he was at a party, and got so drunk he ran outside by himself and was taking all his clothes off -- which is disturbing but amusing, as I am giggling as I write this.
Hmm so all in all it was a great night apart from my nerves of what I was about to do. Yeah I'm single again. Feels much more comfortable now. I just cant move on with anyone after Patrick I cant seem to get over him its so annoying because I was doing so well at the getting-over-it thing, and now I am completely stuck with him in my mind, its really not like me at all.
In other news. Ballet was good yesterday! Im slightly annoyed that my teacher makes us do the same sort of stuff to exactly the same music every week. But nevertheless. I had to take the Northern Line to Wynyard because Mum was only willing to drop me off at Penno station, man the northern line has shit scenery. The North Shore line is soooo much prettier, soo glad I have dad's car today so I can drive to Hornsby and get the north shore line.
Im getting Spiro back tomorrow! YAAAAAY HAPPY!!!!!
Last night was fun! Went to the Berowra Fundraiser first which was lovely. Though slightly disappointing was the lack of people showing up. There really wasnt that many people there. Of the younger people in the show, like the really young adults, it was me, David and Isaac. Shame Shame Shame.
Oh well! It was lovely anyway. Much singing and trivia. The trivia was rather hard, - and some of the singing was rather shocking. I did my HSC piece (Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again) and I actually hit the high notes - which because of my nodules, was unable to do for the HSC.
I was sort of proud of myself, even though the performance was far from perfect. I have worked on that song for well over a year, I have failed at it so many times, and beaten myself up over it so many times.
Its a huge accomplishment, which brings me to another digression, that things are so strained between me and my singing teacher right now. Two weeks ago she got all excited about me wanting to do serious training for classical, and sent me off to get my AMEB books and whatnot. Trouble is, she wants me to do low voice. She keeps telling me my low voice is where my strength is. But I disagree! Now that I've found my high voice its all I want to use. Soo hmm.
I had been learning with my previous teacher for about 2 or 3 years, and I got sick of her holding me back by making me work on a song for upwards of 6 months, to the point where we had a rather nasty fight and I stormed out of the lesson never to have returned. Im afraid that could happen with Belinda. I know I have to follow her advice and guidance, but I believe I am ready for the high voice AMEB book. She even said to me that the material in the low voice book I would find simple and boring, so why wont she let me do the high voice book? I just hope I dont walk out on her like I did the previous teacher. Belinda is the best singing teacher ever but even now I am seeing opinions clashing.
anyway, to bring me back to the point - the Berowra party was fun! I then drove over to Roseville (I actually got lost and ended up in Forestville but soon corrected that error - for Fiona & Thomas' engagement party! I had never been to an engagement party, so it was all very new and cool for me. There was more Karaoke, and everybody was beautiful, and loud. Twas a fun night! I put some photos in with the album with my julia's 18th and soup plus photos.
Incidentally I am going to Soup Plus (Patrick's band is playing - I at least want to have him in my life as a friend than not at all) on the 18th April ... anyone who wants to come with me, let me know.
Also - people! Keep May 13th (its a Saturday in about 6 weeks time) - free (unless you wont be 18 by then) - as it will be my 19th birthday celebration.
