Had one of the best days I’ve had in quite a while J.
Last night was TRIVIA NIGHT! We went as the Incredibles, and needless to say, we were incredibly cool. We won 3rd best dressed YAY (fk those other 5 teams) and were coming 5th at one stage. I shall not reveal our final standing on the score ladder but yes, it was heaps fun J
Afterwards, we all fled to Taylor’s house to celebrate Jimmy’s 18thJ. Half of us got pissed drunk; Josh was running around Taylor’s house like a fkn maniac while Hugh thought he was stuck in a forest.
Jkjks. We were all behaving like sensible young adults. J Just ate cake and drank a bit of champagne. Afterwards, Hugh, Josh, Jimmy, Jono Wang and me watched No Strings Attached (some movie about Ashton Kutcher having Natalie Portman as a fuck buddy) and dozed off.
HBD Jimmy! Hope you had fun & liked your presents J.
The next morning (i.e today), I just bummed at Parra Westfield by myself. I KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS ARE ALL THINKING! L-L-L-L-L-L-LONER-NO-FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!! Nah but seriously chilling by yourself is one of the most satisfying things that you will ever do. At first I just strolled around and blew a bit of cash, but then I decided to bum at JB HI-FI J which was pretty nice. I miss them good ol’ CDs. After that I camped out at various bookstores and amused myself by reading through Banksy’s works (CHECK THEM OUT!) + some other art books. I have to admit, I’m guilty of the free-riding behaviour which catalysed Borders’ deteriorating financial state. Sorry L
When all my options were exhausted, I subsequently migrated to the Newsagency to skim through a few magazines/newspapers. My conscience got the better of me this time so I ended by buying Frankie J. I took my precious Frankie outside and we shared quality bonding time as I propped my ass on one of the sun-soaked benches outside Parra library. It was such a beautiful day and every once in a while I would glance up and watch people from all walks of life stroll past me.
There’s one thing that I really love, and that’s people-watching. Within this society of eroding moral values, the phrase ‘people-watching’ would invariably conjure up horrific images of paedophilia and all of its associations e.g. the movie “Disturbia.” But it’s not just that. It’s like watching a movie with a never-ending array of characters, all starring in the vignettes of their respective lives. You journey vicariously through their thoughts and emotions for a moment, albeit fleeing, in an attempt to understanding their respective situations. I love smiling at them too, since I believe happiness is contagious (OH NO STRANGER DANGER!). It gives me this warm, fuzzy feeling when they smile back. Sometimes I’d receive a “WTF-WHY-IS-THIS-FKN-CREEPY-ASIAN-GIRL-SMILING-AT-ME” look in return, which in retaliation I would tell them to fk off. Jks I’d just keep smiling to aggravate them even more.
Anyways, I’m just in this blissful state of happiness right now. Hm life is good J
