That's why the call me Mr. Farenheight

Bear with me, it's past my bed time, and I just needed three attempts to spell bare. I still don't know which is right.

Let's discuss the weekend. Starting with Friday. I was dropped off at my fathers place early, as is my want, and caught a train to the city. That's one thing I will miss- the excelent access to the train lines. So I cruised into the train station with half an hour to get there, since I knew I'd probably get lost. Miraculously, I found Rundle Mall. I was even ar the right end. Someone up there liked me that day.
After a pit-stop it was time to do the meeting thing. Many of you will know this - It's where you meet people you've met on the internet in person, and as the script says 'hilarity ensues'. I remember going with Livy when she when to meet a fellow red-head in the city (By the horse statue) and spent most of the time not talking. Nothing to say, it would seem. I don't think they spoke after that.

Needless to say, this did not fill me with confidence.

History asside, If I hadn't had Felix come up and ask me if I was waiting for Mowen, I'd have probably just ducked off somewhere. Blind as a bat and about as smart, that's me ^_^. Thankfully I was found, and then the search began. The search- For a place to change. A harrowing search if ever I embarked on one. I'll avoid details of where we actually ended up - Suffice to say a place was found and changing was done. Matt was shy :Þ He ducked into a bathroom to try a shirt on. Ammused me, but whatever. I'm probably too used to t-shirt exchanges. Yes, the purpose of this visit was for Matt to try on his costume, things to be fixed, yadda yadda... I was just along for the proverbial ride. From here we moved to the food court, where I tried to duck off and see if Jason had gotten a permanent job. I couldn't spot him, so I guess if it's anywhere it's at the key-place. I don't think that Hiring him for a key-cutter was the smartest move ever made, allow me to assure you. At this point we split, and poor Matt let me drag him around Rundle in search of Koalas and ammusement. I wonder if Dani reads? I found her a Koala ^_^ I also had less money then I thought I had. I'm an idiot, so sue me. I don't clame to have none of them practical smarts all these people are so proud of -_-.

I know what anyone who knows me is thinking - What did you take that day to get THAT kind of courage? I'm normally terrified of guys I've known for a few years, let alone strangers. Although, I've noticed, not of the people I probably should be... That asside, fear is my natural state of being around most people. He's at least a head and neck taller then me, if not far more, and while Jason is much the same Jason is built like a whip (And I still recognise a threat). Mowen, however, is not rake-like. Usually I would be terrified. Surprisingly I wasn't, although I think I might have been a little intimidated having Felix and his pal there. I sure ate a lot of licorice... If anything I felt safer draginf Matt then I would have been wandering around town on my lonesome. And I had an ice-cream bought for me, which I can't really complain about... although I really, REALLY shouldn't have excepted. I felt sick for a few hours afterwards... Damnit woman, learn to say no! Whe a guy says he's going to buy you a little tigger, stop him! Buy you an ice-cream, drag him to the god damn door! Buy you another drink, distract him! Actually, that worked rather well... See the next ay for more details.

Allow me to conclude this before too much depth is reached :Þ I owe him for helping me buy a buss ticket - I forgot my bloody student card. Really good first impression to make hey? It occurs to me that, when he asked me if he was what I expected, I neglected to ask him if I was what HE expected. Probably didn't really want to know the answer to that question.

I returned to my fathers and inked in TBE pages until the men returned, with a brief pause to talk to mum, who proceded to grill me about my day. I imagine she's woried about me - I don't go out and meet anyone, and I rarely do things. She probably thinks it's not healthy. She also asked if I was scaming for a boyfriend (Or if they were after me) O_o Alright, it wasn't put quite like that, but that was more or less the gist. She probably thinks not looking for one isn't healy in a teenage girl either. What can I say, Akai may have gotten over that little fear issue, but I still haven't. I'll discuss that later.

Soo, soulful inside. Run away!

The second day: Saturday.

It's eleven in the morning. I've just woken up for the second time today. I head out with my father to collect my art piece and dump it at mums. We get home and discover that, while we were gone, Jennifer and the twins showed up. Allan and John will in a fairly short amount of time be my step brothers, and they're supposedly identical twins. They look a little similar, but there are some pretty obvious diferences between. There always were- I remember Allan being quieter then John from way-back. And now that I can tell them apart... I might go into them in more depth later. Travis and John more or less locked themselves in a room with the x-box and remained quite content for the rest of the day. Allan entertained us with stories of how to break a man's neck with one hand. Actually, that's probably something I should like to know... Research purposes of course. We didn't actually LEAVE untill five thirty, which If I'd known I would have tried to pencil a few pages.
Where to? Why, Two Wells of course! My cousin had had his 18th birthday, and was celebrating by getting drunk and attempting to play the pokies. Suffice to say no money was won. My Aunt and Cousin (Older) were both working behind the bar that night, so it was nice to have them at least captive. And I've always been fond of pubs. Early conditioning. Plus I got to have a good chat with my Nan, who I believe to be one of the most sensible people I know. Her and my aunt aquired a horse. She's absoluelt\y beautiful. I like Horses - Right down to the way they smell when they're well kept, that sort of heavy musty smell. Horse and leather- Now THERE'S a heratage smell for you.
Two beers, two cruisers and what I'm assuming was Irish Cream after dinner and Georgia on my Mind still sounded bad performed by the live band. Other songs wern't so bad though. And amazingly I didn't pay for a thing the whole night - My dad bought the beers and a cruiser (My god that is such a freekin chick drink) and my cousin supplied the rest in his enthusiasm to legally purchase. I'm sure he would have gotten me as wasted as the woman who kept trying to dack the lead guitarist given the chance, but I managed to cunningly distract him, as such. I love my cousin ^_^ And although he's still short, he's grown up to at least equal his brother in looks if not height. So happy 18th too him.

Day three: Sunday. My mothers birthday.

I returned home on this day for a stint on the computer. She returned around noon. She mistook her christmass present for her birthday present, but thankfully I intercepted that. I gave her a Lambda Box. Yep, it had Lambda painted on it. She can't remember him, but he's gorgeous and I figured main-stream enough to entertain her. The rest of the day didn't go so well - She really wanted to see the ring, and she though that that was what she was doing, but her guy pulled out and they went home. Didn't get her anytihng either. I really dislike him. The sooner we're rid of him, the better. He has a friend now, so it won't be so bad. The less said of his day the better too.

Which brings me to today, which for your benefit I will refrain from relating to you. It's after midnight anyway - I need to be up at 8 to catch dad, and I still want to read some.

Oi... Sorry for all that. I hope it's readable...
