rainy daze
5:57 p.m.
this week has seen some rando weather.
temp wise, it's been sweet.
but there were a coupla sun showers and last night there was lightning oft in the distance. no rain. no thunder. just a pretty light show in the sky.
we were gonna have a fun-filled weekend, full of beaching and v-ball and zooing and surfing. but the dodgy weather coupled with other factors changed our plans.
with friday...all i can say is i love thai food and i love group dinners. there were 9 of us. so we ordered 7 or 8 dishes. which was a great idea. usually i just get some sort of green curry. so i dont get to try others. i mean, curry is just so damn good.
but this time, i got to expand my horizons and taste much more deliciousness that thailand has to offer.
it was so fucking good.
fucking amazing.
mmmmm.
i really hope i can hit thailand while i'm over here.
anyway. the deliciousness didn't end there.
anj's friend took us out for drinks, where i had the mother of all cocktails.
it's called the toblerone.
3 cl Frangelico® hazelnut liqueur
3 cl Kahlua® coffee liqueur3
cl Bailey's® Irish cream
6 cl fresh cream
1 tbsp honey
Blend with ice and serve in a tall glass. Garnish with chocolate flakes and optionally chocolate topping drizzled down the inside of the glass.
holy shit. just thinking about it turns me on. it was the most gorgeous drink i've ever tasted. i mean, anybody who knows me knows that bailey's is my achilles heel. but with all this other loveliness mixed in... shit, it will be the death of me. it was $18, but totally worth it. i need to find some rich hot aussie to treat me.
it's fucking orgasmic.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm oh fucking god.
amazing.
had a handful of those till last call. anj was drunk by then. it was a little entertaining, never seen that before cuz usually i'm the drunker one. but there had to be a first for everything.
aaaand, night didn't end there. we had previously decided that we were gonna hit pancakes on the rocks at 5am because anj needed to eat and take some medicine.
sooo we hit it hardcore and it was also delicious.
this was the weekend of gluttony. and it felt sooo good.
but because of all the friday funness, we were pretty tapped so saturday we were dragging our asses. we tried walking to coogee so i could get my flask back from my irish friend. but we got lost, so bussing was the way to go. we got catcalled a bit by some cuties in a car, but anj wasn;t feeling it.
then we napped, then went to liquid buzz.
the music is great, but the dancing doesnt pick up till midnight.
we're street teamers so we get free entrance and free drinks. promo has such awesome perks.
we had to leave early cuz anj wasnt feeling well. pat was supposed to join us, but after his dinner last night he fell asleep.
LAME.
ahahah, pat can be such a douche sometimes.
and today was a really loungy sunday. it rained for the majority of the day, so naturally i hibernated. anj was also busy and i didnt feel like dealing with people today, so i was a hermit.
all i did was get groceries, so i could at least feel like a part of civilization.
but most of the day has been spent on my big comfy couch (shit i dunno what i'd do if my apt didnt come with it. it's such a lovely place to pass out), with my computer on my lap, or arm of my couch.
it's nice to hear all the good things back home. i feel like there's a lot i'm missing out on with school - riot, taras, and i missed the karaoke show down. if i had known sal was performing, i just maybe might've come home for a bit.
but i'm glad to hear rta represented and kicked some jcu ass. we rule the rcc.
mmm. i miss home just a little bit.
this time/space dealy is a little hard to deal with sometimes. like i feel like i'm on the outside of a snowglobe looking in.
i mean, i left so many things open when i ditched canada. my departure happened so fast. and when i return, i'm prolly gonna be in the mindset to pick up where things left off, but so many things will happen with each situation within a matter of months.
and the more i keep in touch with people back home, i do feel like i'm evolving with them. but still, lotsa other shit happens that doesnt get discussed. so i just hope i dont get a false sense of comfort in the idea that i'll be cool with everyone when i get back...
the adjustment will be a little tiring, i imagine. same for the reverse culture shock adjustment.
i just hope many people can visit me so i can feel that little bit of home that i miss!
and i want my classes to start up again so i can stop thinking so much :)
