To the Duchess if she is reading this in between sitting with the grandmother and having *fun* with the rabbit :D : WE MISS YOU HONEYBUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The DESIS have proved that they cannot be drunk without being jerks at the same time! With the exception of Shuddup, who is harmless to everyone but himself when he is drunk, and extremely amusing. Sometimes I want to put him in a cage and feed him alcohol everyday and just sit back and watch him.
So last night SweetRhapsody, myself, the Colored Fringe, the Silent Walker, and the Dervish went to Metro's. It was totally packed full of people; so different from the last time I was there! SweetRhapsody and the Colored Fringe were already having problems by the time we got there and eventually I slugged off to let them fight it out/make up on the dance floor. Spent a bit of time breathing fresh air and smoking cigarettes (odd, isn't it, the mix of fresh air and cigs) on the stairway while watching the crowd. Bumped into the Pothead Teddy who asked what I was doing alone and I explained the situation to him. "Go find a guy!" he roars, probably he is a little drunk too. "I will, I will, I'm looking!" answers I as he stumbles off. Deciding to cut down on the unhealthy cigs and start more healthy habits like dancing, I go off down the stairs and meets this nice guy to dance with. He's not much of a dancer though, more of a hugger.
After a while, I decide I'd better go find everybody else so I say goodbye to the nice guy and went off. Eventually located SweetRhapsody and the Colored Fringe on the top floor, still sorting out differences and attempting to involve me in it. I refused to be dragged into it and just sipped a beer and rested my feet while watching the crowd. We eventually go out to the dance floor where the Silent Walker has found himself a girl to dance with as well - only she ran off before he could get her number! Eventually we leave around 5-ish. The Dervish was most annoying on the way home making snide or racist remarks and trying to stir up trouble again between SweetRhapsody and the Colored Fringe by making remarks about some girl that the Colored Fringe had been dancing with. I got pretty fed up with it and eventually reminded the Dervish that he too had been told off by some girls he tried to dance with. It was a little mean but honestly, he was just asking for it. Hoped that would shut him up but he just went on and on from the back of the car. Wished someone could have chloroformed him. He obviously thinks himself very clever or something that he can come up with such snide remarks. Doesn't know it's annoying and theres a limit to these things. Was relieved when we finally got back.
Had a wonderful sleep last night. Unfortunately, last night was the same night I injured my left arm TWICE in the same spot and nearly passed out both times with the excruciating pain. When I finally woke up I went down to the duck pond for a picnic with Moon Von and her sister. We fed ducks and shooed magpies (at least I think they were magpies) away.
Everyone has left or is leaving! Baby Brother left last night. Shuddup and the Roaring Lion are leaving today. People are eventually leaving on July 5th. Sob. Will miss everyone.

Woke up this morning to hear the sounds of Moon Von and her sister screaming at one another. I thought they were screaming in joy, later I discovered they were screaming in anger. Fell back asleep and then woke up later to find Moon Von crying on the couch, the poor thing! They had a major fight apparently. Tried to calm her down, made her laugh, gave her some tissues, and then she went off to take a shower.
I'm at loose ends today. What should I do? I feel bored. SweetRhapsody hasn't gotten out of bed yet. It's a cold day.

Anyway Wednesday night was a pretty much sucky night. We went to about three different clubs but they were either closed or there was a really long line outside so we just headed home and had some drinks.
Felt lethargic and sleepy on Thursday. Most of the day was spent sleeping and eating. It was very windy outside! The Ninja Crisis was surprised by the arrival of her boyfriend on her doorstep that night! I was talking with Kelly-Mandy and she told me all kinds of shocking news about her life. SweetRhapsody and I tried to settle down to watch Finding Neverland but was interrupted by the Monkey who had apparently just finished his exam (it was at three somethingish in the morning, he claimed he had just finished his astronomy exam, but we all know it's a pack of lies). He and the Dervish then sat down to watch cricket in the Transit Flat but they wanted shisha but had no charcoal. Haha! I was way tired by then so I came back home and was chatting online and checking my e-mail, the 80s Laundry Dude had sent one of those e-mails about a website where you can find true love as long as you answer some questions about your love and sex life. I was talking to the Kelvinator online at the same time and he was like "Oh, I've done that quiz before! Give me the link again, will you?" So i foolishly sent him the link and what he does is put my name, e-mail and all kinds of rubbish details like "Yes, I watch porn all the time" and then it turns out that it's a trick website that sents all the information we put down back to the 80s Laundry Dude! And the Kelvinator wouldn't tell me exactly what he wrote down about me! Nothing to do but have my revenge on the Kelvinator by answering the quiz with HIS name and e-mail and the worst information I can make up about him down on the website as well. The worst information is all probably true anyway, knowing the Kelvinator.

Yesterday was a sad day!!! SweetRhapsody, myself, the Colored Fringe, Shuddup, and Baby Brother took the Duchess to the airport to send her off. I warned her to behave because her visa spells her out as a guest of MINE in my country so if she misbehaves i have to be responsible for her!!! Her suitcase was way over the weight limit and we got to see her running back and forth over the airport in her floaty white skirt pushing her trolley and we had to help her repack her stuff so anyone who was at the Perth Airport yesterday got to see the Duchess and a bunch of us bent over an overpacked suitcase taking out cheeses and sausages. It was kind of funny because of the stuff the Duchess deems necessary to take with her. You know, the usual, slabs of cheeses, long sausages, the handcuffs....;)
Anyway we finally got her repacked and sent her off minus a few cheeses and sausages. Lots of other people were at the terminal as well...everyone leaving!!! Everyone hugged the Duchess. SweetRhapsody told her to give the Rabbit a kiss and a hug from her. I told the Duchess to give him a French and a screw from me. SweetRhapsody was the last one to hug the Duchess and got totally emotional and started crying and hugging her again and again because this would be the last time they'd see each other for a while since SweetRhapsody is graduating and leaving for Melbourne before the Duchess returns. I didn't cry because I know I would soon see that little hooligan(and I mean LITTLE since we had so much trouble trying to spot her across the terminal when she was checking in, and when we finally found her, everyone around her was towering over her) again, heheheh. :) But I was still pretty sad anyway, cuz of all that emotion! And the boys were just staring in horror, especially Shuddup.
Anyway, after our darling Duchess disappeared through the gates, we drove down to the city and I dragged SweetRhapsody and the Colored Fringe to Empire Toys and then to Taka for, um, I guess it was dinner although it was only about five-ish. Baby Brother and Shuddup went off for Indian food instead because Baby Brother doesn't like Japanese food. Shuddup really regrets not coming with us now because he had food poisoning later that night from the food.

So last night we headed over to Baby Brother's house which has been partially furnished! It's a typical male house - all the bedrooms have really masculine black furniture. There was a little wooden table which I wanted to steal.
We sat out in the cold most of the time, smoking cigarettes, shisha and drinking whiskey and coke. The Bony Nanny's friend and her adorable little daughter were also there which meant that SweetRhapsody spent most of her time running around playing with the kid and wishing she could be a mother. (Hint-hint, Colored Fringe! Hahaha! *Watches as Colored Fringe turns pale and starts to run to the hills*) We all started taking loads of pictures together since SweetRhapsody and the Little Pony won't be around anymore. In fact, the Little Pony has just left a few minutes ago to the airport! She will never come back here again! We just saw them off at the door. She has left with the Bony Nanny but since the Bony Nanny is just leaving for the hols, he won't be so missed. Haha!
Shuddup has refused to drink anymore and only smokes now; we'll see how long that lasts. The Little Pony demonstrated her Egyptian skills with the shisha. We now have a picture of SweetRhapsody doing her fish impersonation. The Turbanator got drunk and started drooling over his beard which was pretty gross and Baby Brother had to drive him home. When the rest of us finally got back, I started getting these terrible hiccups but that wasn't as bad as what we could hear coming from the Turbanator's room! He was moaning really loudly in his sleep and saying "I love you...sexy, sexy, sexy" over and over again!!! The Bony Nanny went to check on him and he's just lying on his bed, facing the wall, moaning! SweetRhapsody and I couldn't stop laughing. You could hear him all over the flat.
Anyway, we decided to head up to my flat to watch After the Sunset and after that we just went to bed. And right now it's the morning and The Little Pony and the Bony Nanny have left! Awww!

I am currently listening to Feel Good Inc by the Gorillaz. It makes me feel slightly happy.
The sky is nightshade purple with that pattern of black trees against it like embroidered velvet.
There is tequila on my kitchen shelf calling my name.
I must cut down on my smoking.
Was screaming down the phone to Diva. She got pissed and slammed the phone on my ear, but I called her back and shrieked a few obscenities at her, then hung up on her.
We're gonna go watch Madagascar tomorrow, which i have been waiting AGES to watch. Hooray!

I think i am rambling right now. I can't think of anything to write yet I must write! Et tu Brutus? Maybe I AM losing my mind. But the Duchess says not to worry, we'll all get it back. I blame it all on the aftereffects of the ghost dream last night. But was it last night? It was early this morning. Philosopher would say it's due to the drugs but I haven't been able to find my hypodermic syringe ever since I cleaned my room. I must write to Marcus and ask him to send me a fresh one but I fear that that would bring him to my doorstep. I wonder what I should do? I should go to bed but I can't! I will have to wake in about two or three hours. It's evening! It's too cold to go smoke on my balcony. Whatever should I do? Oh, look at the sky! Something strange is happening and yet it is not.

What a terrible nightmare last night!!!
I had this dream where I was in a high school and had just escaped from a witch doctor and I was with my friends but I kept getting stuck in various out-of-the-way places in the school with these demon-like creatures, they were like ghouls or something with horrible white faces with big nostrils and scary eyes or they'd be like imps jumping on my back and the thing is that nobody else but me can see them and when I see them, they see me and then I get stuck in that particular spot. And it kept happening over and over again all over the school! They nearly drove me crazy! It was scary!
But then I think I set the entire world on fire and that was the end of it.
Anyway, was woken up by Fizzy! who wanted to store some of her stuff in my room. She's gone now, home for the hols.
I'm pretty much tired out today. I don't know why! It must be all that fighting with ghosts in my dreams. Maybe I might catch a few zzs before heading over to the Baby Brother's house! It's sort of a housewarming/end of exams party for him. Us and a bunch of DESIs. Exciting stuff, you know.
Yesterday I went down to the city to watch Batman Begins with the Roaring Lion. It wasn't too bad...but does anyone realize the irony of having Katie Holmes star in a Batman movie? First it was Nicole Kidman, in the Batman movie with Val Kilmer, then now it's Katie Holmes... maybe Tom Cruise has secret connections with Batman. :o
In the evening myself, the Duchess, SweetRhapsody, the Pothead Teddy and Louise watched the final episode of Everybody Loves Raymond on TV. I'm not that big a fan of ELR so, whatever. It was funny.
Got a letter from Marcus today! He is doing fine, still in Columbia, and has had hit the big time! He's currently smuggling drugs out in coffins and making lots of money selling the former to humans and the latter to his own kind. Talk about combining skills. He is doing well and talks more about coming to visit me here. It makes me nervous. I wish he wouldn't. I'd rather meet him when I'm thirty in this life, on the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Today is a beautiful day! Sunshiny and bright and happy! I am currently waiting for SweetRhapsody to fully awaken before the two of us head down to the store to get some drinks and then we will sit on my balcony and soak up the last lingering rays of sunlight before the sun sets. We might call the Duchess but she is busy studying and far be it from me to prevent any academic from soaking up intellectual stimulation instead of the last lingering rays of sunlight!
Last night was such a hullabaloo. The Pothead Teddy was walking around drunk with an open umbrella like some geisha woman in the house. He also cut himself with a knife and pushed me onto a sofa and shouted randomly at everyone. He is rapidly becoming more abusive as each day goes by, we must soon get help for him.
Louise was a little high too and the loudest I have ever seen her, haha. She also made us scones but most of that was eaten up by the boys. Matsumoto was gulping down vodka and watching what he thought was Japanese/Korean porn on the international channel on TV before wheeling down the parking lot in an abandoned Coles trolley. His friend just sat on the couch and grew silent, except for occasional moments.
The Bony Nanny returned, and with his return, everyone couldn't stop shouting at one another! Shuddup called out to us from his flat balcony but he was being an anti-social loser so we told him to go back to his movies. LadyElle made creme caramel, which has probably all been eaten up by the Pothead Teddy by now. The Duchess had a talk with the Bony Nanny which ended up with the Bony Nanny and the Turbanator singing Indian love songs to her which resulted in her running in terror to LadyElle's room. The Roaring Lion threw stones at what he thought was my window, but it turns out he was throwing stones at Moon Von's window and scaring her half to death, hahah. That was also another drunk person.
Right, I must go now! See ya, everyone!

Chat, the Greatest Sacrifice Man Has Ever Made. :D
Have just been talking to my friend, Chat, while waiting for my facial mask to work its magic on me. He's happily soaking up the sun in california, the bitch, while I'm here in a wintry world of rain and wind. Oh well, the good thing about the current weather is that it's good atmosphere for watching noir films, of which Chat has just given me his Chat's Recommended List of Noir Films. They include: Dark City (not to be confused with Sin City), The Last Seduction, The Maltese Falcon with Humphrey Bogart in it, Double Indemnity, and, strangely enough, though not that strange considering Chat, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. We then, as you can guess, fell to talking about Jessica Rabbit before I had to go wash my mask off.
We were also talking about Angelina Jolie and how she is probably the most-wanted woman in the world, by both men and women. Both Chat and his girlfriend long to do Angelina, although Chat feels that his girlfriend might beat him off so she can have Angelina all to herself. If it comes to that, Chat would feel obligated to step aside in order to save the relationship. We called that The Greatest Sacrifice Man Has Ever Made. So, no, in answer to your question of the title, I lied, Chat is not the Greatest Sacrifice Man Has Ever Made, but one day, should he and his girlfriend ever meet Angelina Jolie, HE will make the Greatest Sacrifice Man Has ever Made.
That was way too many "mades". I'm going to watch Neve Campbell dance ballet in The Company with SweetRhapsody now.

SweetRhapsody just sent me a message about fifteen minutes ago. We were looking at a star right next to the moon on the way back from Coles. Turns out it's Jupiter. We need the Pony and Shuddup for free astronomy lessons soon.

The Village was not all that scary. Which made it all kind of disappointing.
But right after that SweetRhapsody and I watched Chasing Liberty with Mandy Moore and OOOOH! Stark Sands!!!!!!! He was so unbelievably hot with that sexy accent!!! *faints a little* But what a name, huh? Stark Sands???
Was supposed to head out for a movie with the Roaring Lion today but it's pretty cold and rainy today so we decided not to go, and anyway, I slept in until two-ish after watching those movies last night. Oops!
But I have to sludge my way down to Coles anyway, because I'm running out of groceries! I didn't buy anything last week because I thought I would be going home but as it turns out...not...
And I have to buy veges and stuff because I'm going veg for a week, because of my grandmother. Now this would be really hard, especially for someone like me who loves meat, but hey, this is for my grandmother. I'll go veg for her!
Stir-fried veg, I'm thinking stir-fried veg tonight. Mmm.
Marcus called up last night too. He rambled on about coffins and ghouls for a while, asked me how I was doing, then offered his condolences, and then said something about flying up to see me. Gawd, I hope he doesn't come. He might just bring a contigent of Columbian druglords with him. If he's still there. I forgot to ask him where he is.
All right, SweetRhapsody is whining down the line at me so to Coles we must go! Backatcha.

Well, it's been a pretty strange week this week. Everything's familiar yet strange.
I kind of sank into a depression for a couple of days, I think. I'm not heading home for the break anymore. But I kind of regretted canceling my ticket cuz after that I spoke with Potatoes and Bundles and my mom on the phone and perhaps I should have come home after all. It made me feel way better, speaking to all of them, especially Potatoes and Bundles, they made me feel way better and just made me snap out of it. Get a grip, snap out of it, hold on like we all have to.
SweetRhapsody and I and the Duchess headed down to the city yesterday and watched The Wedding Date and it was soo sweet and made me forget everything for a while. And today we headed back down to the city again so that the Duchess could grab her visa and then we had iced coffees at Gloria Jean's. Then the Duchess went home. SweetRhapsody and I got our hair cut - you should see her now! She's so adorably cute with that fringe across her forehead! Okay, gurl, stop rhapsodizing over yourself now. I just got a trim, I just wanted to cut off something of me a little, in remembrance. And after that we did a little major shopping and I got a tweed jacket and the long peasant-like brown skirt that I've been looking for for ages and a pair of black pants which fitted me because I've ever found pants that fitted me well. SweetRhapsody got some stuff too - she got this cute black and pink dress with a litle lace on the top and she looked gorgeous in it, everyone was admiring her and this guy walking outside just stepped into the shop to say she looked gorgeous too! And then we watched The Longest Yard, which was funny and sweet and a little sad. After that we came home and had dinner. Never Been Kissed was on TV so we just kind of plopped ourselves down to watch it. After that, we headed over to the tav. It was pretty quiet tonight, I guess because most people were studying for exams, but we had fun anyway. I caught up with some old friends that I haven't spoken to in a while and we met a couple of nice guys. One of them kept trying to get us to sing karaoke but we were like "nooo, people aren't drunk enough tonight, they'll remember our terrible voices!" Anyway, we're now home and we're going to watch The Village in the dark, followed by a comedy to calm us down after we start screaming and waking up the entire EUH! We're going to need to sleep tonight! LOL. All right, gotta go now, love ya, miss ya, bye!

Grief
How do you know when you're grieving when you've never grieved before?
Is it when you hurt all over?
They say in books that you hurt deep inside but it feels more like an all-over kind of pain.
And one of the thoughts in my head is that: Hey, it does feel physical.
So anyway, I don't mind if everyone skips over this post because this is more of a personal entry for myself.
So my grandmother on my mother's side died on Saturday. My sister rang up with the news and I just couldn't believe it.
And what did I feel? It was more of a disbelief that it had happened. No, it hadn't happened yet. No, she couldn't have died. She was supposed to wait for me! I was going to come home and make her feel better and cheer her up and make her eat her medicine and be the one to sit on the couch and watch TV with her.
And it was kind of a numb feeling after that, a numb feeling which all those gin and tonics I had after that didn't seem to drown. So much for drowning your sorrows. I couldn't do it. I did feel like smoking though. I hope I didn't ruin everybody's Saturday night. I know I didn't ruin someone's, heheheh, at least one of us had a good time on Saturday night.
So the first stage of grief is disbelief and numbness. Not crying or screaming. And then on the second day, there wasn't really anything much. And I kind of faintly thought, good, that's all there is to it. So maybe there's no grief.
And then last night I went to bed and I kept wishing that I could see her in my dreams. Because that's what happened, I saw one of them that was dead when I was sleeping, and I couldn't help but wish desperately she'd come to me too and I could at least see her one last time. But I didn't dream about her and when I woke up, I thought of that, and I thought, you know, how could she die without me? She knew I was coming back, there were only three or four more days before I was coming home, only three or four more days, three or four more days, damnit!
And I thought, I missed her so much. And then I couldn't stop crying because the tears came then. And it's like, why, why, why???
There are so many things I didn't get to do with her, I didn't get to spend more time with her, I didn't get to learn Chinese in time to have better conversations with her (those of you who know me and her know that we somehow manage to have conversations with each other without really understanding what the other was talking about), I didn't get to make her better, I didn't get to play mah jong with her (and I had just learnt it earlier this year!), I didn't get to do so many things. The only thing that I'm thankful for is for those months that I managed to spend time with her, last November, December, January, because that was when we had managed to get so close to one another. And then...I thought about the last time we saw one another, before I left, when I told her I was leaving, right at the doorstep, and we said good bye, and I wanted to hug her, but I stopped because we had never really hugged before.
And oh god, I wish so much that I had hugged her then. Because I didn't know that would be the last time we ever saw one another, didn't know she would suddenly fall ill and die.
And you know, there's so much about her that I miss, I miss the times when we looked at each other and just laughed because the rest of the family was being so silly, I miss the times when she would come over for the weekend and she would be sleeping in the room next to mine and I would come home late at night and just be so aware of her being in the next room as I tried to brush my teeth and take a shower as quietly as possible so I wouldn't wake her up, I even miss the fact that she used to break the toilet flush all the time and walked so slowly that the two of us would lag behind the rest of the family whenever we went out. She's my grandmother, you know? And these are all the things that make her my grandmother. How she used to pass cash on to me in this mafia like way, very secretive, pressing the cash into my hand as she walked by, because she knew that my mother didn't like her to give so much cash to me, and I would try not to take it too, but she would just wave a hand at me and tell me to take it. And you know, how she always seems so delicate and fragile but she's really made of steel inside, you should just see her when she's really stubborn, nothing would move her. When she refuses to ride escalators, and my mother would just try to make her get on one, and she wouldn't move, and I'd just laugh at the sight of the two of them and go scout for an elevator.
You know all those surveys that get passed around and everyone would do them? And there's always this one question: "what's the thing that you regret the most?" well, now I always know the one thing which I regret the most: the fact that I didn't get to know her better or spend more time with her before she died. I regret it so badly.
You know, I miss her so much. Why, why, why didn't she wait for me?
Sometimes, I'm not sure, because even when I had been planning to come home to see her, I was afraid because I heard that she's been getting so thin and so weak, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to see her that way, maybe I wanted to remember her the way she was.
And then she died and I really didn't get to see her and I don't know which is worse because now I'm wishing so badly that I had gotten to see her.
Only about five or so more days, and I would have been home and I would have been the one to make you feel better. Why didn't you wait for me?
I should be happy for her. She's been going through a lot of pain and she'd been depressed. She must be in heaven now, or somewhere happy, with my grandfather and being treated like a queen, without any pain. That's where she is now.
And now I'm missing her so badly. You know, I was thinking, that I'm so glad that I had gotten much closer to her, and you know, she's been such a big part of my life, even when I was young and wasn't close to her, and she'll always be a part of me. So she's still alive in that way.
Everyone's been really nice. Poor things, I know some of them don't really know what to say. It's a little amusing because you feel sorry for them that they feel awkward about this. She would have laughed with me.
But you know, I thought I could feel her presence this morning.
You know, my grandmother.
I love her.

It's been a busy week!
And it's been raining loads too!
And we've been seeing lots of movies. First we went to watch the Upside of Anger on Tuesday, which is a little slow but was really sweet and sad. And it got me all depressed and stuff, what with the rain and all. On Wednesday we watched A Lot Like Love which is sooo sweet and a little sad too and we did loads of shopping on those two days as well. Then we went to the Waterford pub that night and after that we headed to Margeux where we met up with the Duchess's friend, B. For some reason, the Philosopher and the Soft-spoken Socializer tagged along as well. Anyway, we all had a few drinks and were sitting around talking and we hadn't even gotten up to dance yet when they turned on the lights! So we decided to head down to the Post Office, another club - weird name, huh? Of all the names for a club... it made me think of the Pharmacy at home! Gawd, that was the one that took the cake.
And it wasn't too bad there - they had a great band at first playing all these old high school songs and I was just jumping along and singing and the Philosopher tried to make me drink these foul-tasting shots but i was like "NO" and ran off with the beer. And SweetRhapsody got totally drunk and we spent part of the night in the bathroom urging her to throw up while all these other sweet girls gathered around to help out. And lots of other things happened that night as well which made me laugh. Anyway, we finally got her out and into B's car and we drove home and somehow got her all the way into her bed and she was being really demanding! Then the Duchess and I made ourselves a snack and just hang out and laughed about the night and then we went to bed!
Anyway, the next day was Thursday and I slept in really late only to be awakened by SweetRhapsody on the phone. "I'm still sleeping, call back later," I mumbled and then hung up on her and turned over. Right away, I think, "waaait, she may be calling to see if I wanted something for lunch, I should call her back and send her to get something for me" and that's when she calls back on the phone and screams to me "TV News! We're suppose to head down to the TV news station tonight to watch them produce news! We have to get going or it'll be too late!" so I had to stumble out and of course my hair is all stinky from last night and I had to shower and pull on something warm since it's all cold and raining outside. Ran in and out of SweetRhapsody's flat twice to change jackets (i changed from my deep magenta jacket with the sequinned patterns here and there to my long green coat) and bags while the Turbanator watched with puzzlement as he chopped onions in the kitchen. Finally we managed to get a move on, grabbing a burger and nuggets from BK on the way to munch on since we were both starving. We finally arrived at the station and we had to wait outside in the freezing cold but luckily we bumped into some of the other people from our classes and sat in their car to wait until we could finally go inside. It was pretty fun, we got to see them producing live and it was really cool. After that, we got a ride to the city from one of the girls from my class and then went to watch Mr and Mrs Smith with the Duchess. B was supposed to come as well but he decided not to in the end. The show wasn't too bad - it was so sweet, the two of them. Hahaha! After the movie we stopped by McD's so the Duchess could grab a burger and watched drunken hobos shout and kick at trash cans outside McD's. Then we grabbed a cab home, arrived shortly after midnight, hung around with the Pothead Teddy and the Quiet Pothead in the Transit Flat until the Colored Fringe showed up. Then I headed home and fell into bed. I was way too tired!

HELLLLLL-LOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a weekend! Phew!
I just finished all my assignments and ran to uni in the dawn's cool morning light with the Duchess to hand it up before the office opens so that they will think that we handed it up on Friday. And now we are all completely DONE! HOORAY!
Well, erm, I am done anyway. SweetRhapsody and the Duchess still have work to hand up tomorrow but that's THEIR fault; they should have started working at the same time I did instead of watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding on TV. Now I'll take this oppurtunity to lounge around and laugh in their faces. Hehehe.
I tried to sleep but I don't know why, I can't seem to. I've got so much energy buzzing through me. I thought it was because of all that work I had to do over the weekend but it hasn't subsided yet. I got up a couple of times this morning and finally got up and cleaned my room - which is in an entire mess because of all the work I've been submerged in - and now I'm just sitting down here, listening to music and generally being pleased with myself. Hehehe.
So anyway, I think I already told you guys about the party on Friday night and on Saturday, I slept, got up, worked on my assignments, then headed down for dinner which was fried rice and vegetables courtesey of SweetRhapsody. The Duchess brought down her chocolate cake too but we were all too full for that. I headed back up to my flat to contine working - see how hardworking I am??? - and ended up chatting on the phone to my mother who was shocked to discover that I was heading out later that night even with all the assignments due. I ended up having to reassure her about my grades and work but she still wasn't happy so I changed the subject and we talked shopping. Hahaha! Anyway, we finally got off the phone and the Roaring Lion called me up and told me stuff that surprised me and then I finally started getting dressed because me, SweetRhapsody and the Duchess were planning on heading to Metro for like the first time ever this year since it got closed after all those rugby players stabbed one another there earlier this year or something. And can you believe one of those players who was on trial for the stabbings is going to be up for some national rugby award or something, something really prestigious. Talk about honoring potential killers. Yeah!
Anyway Metro was pretty fun, it wasn't as crowded as it used to be. We got a few drinks, started dancing, when Hollaback Girl started playing, we were like "This is the Pothead Teddy's song!!!" and we ended up bumping into him and the Quiet Pothead and The Duchess's friend was there as well and he bought us all drinks, the sweetie, and we just generally danced and had a really good time!!!
And on the way to Metro in the cab and on the way back in another cab, we talked the most outrageous things and I think our cab drivers must think we're mad!
Finally, we stumble out of the cab late at night and bump into some American guy smoking outside EUH - apparently we all know one another and we ended up telling him about the differences between stilettos and high heels before heading home and making ourselves a late night supper while watching music videos on TV. The Duchess eventually fell asleep and me and SweetRhapsody were so exhausted we kept saying "We have to get to bed" but everytime we say that a new video that we haven't seen yet comes on and we just had to stay on to watch it! Anyway, the videos finally stopped playing and it was almost dawn so we got up and roused the Duchess and all headed to our bed!
Sunday was pretty irrelevant - I slept, I woke, I did my work, I had dinner at SweetRhapsody's, I listened to all kinds of rubbish that the DESIS were talking about, and then I went back to work.
AND NOW I'M FREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Go, girl, seek happy nights to happy days." - Romeo and Juliet.
So yesterday the Duchess and I were completely hyped up because it was the last day of classes! Hooray!!! The only thing that put a slight damper was the fact that we hadn't bothered finishing up our last two assignments (we're going to hand them up at the crack of dawn on Monday). But we couldn't care less - it's the end of the semester!!!
The tav at the uni was jumping yesterday. We dragged the Philosopher and his friend there - this friend by the way, spouts the most amazing rubbish, it's definitely one of those people that I enjoy talking to and spouting rubbish with. Anyway, after that, we skipped home and I helped SweetRhapsody out with her script for a while before I crashed in my bed because I hadn't had any sleep the night before. Later that night, the Duchess cooked us butter chicken and rice and we stuffed ourselves silly before getting ready to go out to this party that this guy was giving down on this street. It's actually on the same street that my sister lives on and that Banana Gal used to live on and that the Colored Fringe lives just off, but we couldn't walk down to the place because just as we started out it started raining! So, anyway, we ended up sitting in the Tall One's flat, waiting for a cab to come. The mood dampened a little because of the long wait and because a couple of our crowd weren't feeling too good and so on and on but the spirit of moi, the Queen, is undefeatable and the cab finally came and we piled in and finally showed up at the party.
And it was fun - there were tons of people and good music, on the other hand, most of the drinks were already gone but someone miraculously produced some Smirnoff and club soda out of nowhere. SweetRhapsody took off with the Colored Fringe and I met lots of sweet guys and caught up with some *recent acquintances* and danced and the Duchess spotted a couple that I thought would be the least likely ever to happen!!! I'm still kind of shocked over it!
Well, anyway, we left around two-ish because the Philosopher was completely trashed by then. I got home at the same time that Von did and we ended up sitting in her room swapping stories over what's been going on with each other - for a pair of flatmates, we haven't spent much time together this semester! And then I fell asleep because I was just way too exhausted!
