Haha, tonight started like any other, I get home from work, bum around smelling like shit, eventually shower and have some dinner then just code, game or chat to people on msn unless I'm actually doing something half constructive with my time. However, tonight ended spectularly, with me owning a plover...

I offered to pick Amy up from her cousins at Moorooka after she downed a few end-of-exam drinks. After everyone bailed or was too busy to join my squad to return Amy back to her house, I ended up dragging Josh off WOW and into the Chazza for what seemed like a simple mission.

We rocked up, all was good, her cousin has a fucking awesome dog named Bundy. Haha. Anyway, after getting our booty, we drove to Macca's and laughed at Amy while she bought us food. Hehe. Josh and I were pretty knackered, so I started to drive Amy back to her place but she was too bouncy and full of energy so we ended up at our old hunting grounds, Runcorn State High School.

We stalked the grounds, then outraced a undercover cop car before the Chazza raced Amy down Daw Road...in reverse. Amy had a good lead, but was no match for the beast. We got bored and decided to walk through the school. We went to our old sitting spot, which has been repainted so it was like we never existed. The pine forest is no more too. We were constantly on the lookout for the security guards and dog patrols so as we rounded the Science block and saw a fucking flash, we piss bolted out the back gate near the tennis courts. Haha, RETREAT.

Eventually we got Amy home, and I was driving Josh home doing the speed limit (of course) when all of the sudden, bang! A fucking plover had flown into the front of the Chazza! The two of us were fucking pissing ourselves laughing all the way to the Shell were we thought we'd examine the damage (and remove the bird). Turns out it was stuck in there pretty damn good and the fucking thing snapped the grill! After removing it with a stick, and then washing the front of the car, I drove Josh home, realising that the car stunk like plover cause it must have gone into the air conditioning. Awesome. Here's some photos, enjoy.

Ha, yeah a few days late and I'm sure you've already read about my Tuesday from Benji or Amy, but if you haven't don't stress, I'm about to give you a third take on the day. For me, Tuesday was a huge day. I started work at 10 for our Melbourne Cup catering. It was pretty fucking easy, so when 2 rocked around I couldn't believe I just snagged $50 for doing shit all.

After I got home, and eventually showered (read: hours later), Adam gave us a call saying come to the Jindalee Hotel for drinks with his workmates inbetween something about a newsagent chick and 'don't worry bro, I can get you in'. I bailed on that, considering I was already going to the gym with Dani and Mel, but I did offer my services as a DD to pick him up. He took me up on the offer and next thing I knew I was bailing on gym and driving with Amy through Inala and Oxley looking for Adam, who thought it'd be great to 'pub crawl' through these dodgy suburbs. Haha, and just for something random, some dude staggered up to Amy's car at some intersection and slurred some shit about a road, stupid bastard, he had too much metho I think, 'Green means go Amy!'. Haha. Nevertheless, we found Adam at some pub that didn't look too dodgy at all and then he directed us back to his mates place so I could pick up his car. Heh, it was fun driving his car, it's alot quieter then the Chazza, so I have nfi what it was doing half the time. I've also concluded that dual 12" subs don't cut it for metal!

So anyway, after a trip to KFC, I went and picked up Dani from the gym and took her back to her's to get her phone and then we all, Amy, Mel, Dani, Adam, went to back to Adam's and watched OC Season 4's first episode. I reckon it fucking owned and has set the season up decently, but I guess we'll see as time goes by.

After leaving Adam to get some beauty sleep (heh, need more then 6 hours for that mate tongue), Amy and I dropped off the kids and went back to mine. Yank was driving around so we got him to pick me and Amy up and then we drove around with a new crew, Yank, Kyle and Benji. We went to Slaughter Falls which was fucking closed for some odd reason, but on the way, I'd just like to point out that U2 fans suck ass?! There we were, hanging out the civic with horns going up kessels road screaming 'YEAHHHH U2' at all the fans leaving the stadium, and what did we get? Jack-fucking-all! Metal fans pwn U2 fans, that's all I'll say.

Anyway, after our eventful (read: scariest thing was an owl that nearly sent the civic to heaven and it's occupants to hospital) cruise, we got home at about 1.30am before Yank decides it'd be fucking awesome to head to the coast to watch the sunrise. Now, considering I had an exam that I had to pass, it was probably a stupid decision, but after 15 minutes of rounding up Snow Patrol cd's and some clothes from Benji's and mine, we were off down the M1, through an eToll without a transponder ($19 fine ftw Yank) to the coast. Yank was like a truckie driver with all the nodoze and sprite recharges, but we got there in one piece, parked at Cavil and wandered to the beach.

Haha, there was some zombie dude walking straight down the beach towards the birds, yes, I believe his name was Tim. We walked down the beach for a bit, made some ass grooves and just laid down for a bit. Benji was hyped up on air or some shit, running round like a headless chicken so that was mildly entertaining admist him giving Yank balls and burying Amy's legs and mine and Kyle's feet. Then fucking, it started to rain, what a bastard! So we headed back up to the Civic to watch some metro get the shit beat out of him by two guys, then stumble across the road and throw a bin onto the street. Haha. So yeah, I went to go watch a sunrise that was never going to be thanks to the clouds and all I got was a drunken fight. Meh.

I got home about 6am, slept for a few hours, then got stuck into my Red Eye Platinums, holy shit do these things work a treat! It's like your mind becomes a sponge, I then studied networks till 4pm ready for my 60% do-or-die exam at 5.30pm. Surprisingly, I think I owned it! But we'll see, exam marks come out December 4 apparently.

And there you have it, one huge reason why you should blog more often, because otherwise your post becomes so long that it's highly doubtful that anyone actually reads the whole thing or rather reads (skims) to a bit that's funny then decides to comment on that ignoring the rest of the article.
