Birthday Bash

Becasue I knew that I had a bed for the night, I was able to really let loose with the drinking which I've not done for ages and ended up having a blast!

We were all outside gathered round the Webber for warmth, when the girls decided at around 11, to head down into Subiaco to one of the clubs. (Considering we had been drinking Tequila shots for most of the night & had already polished of a bottle and a half of Vodka and Midori, I'm not sure how they expected to be let in when they were more than a little pissed).

I ended up staying behind with the boys, mainly because I was wearing my comfy sneakers so wouldn't have been admitted to any of the clubs.

We were still gathered around the Webber, and I must say, guys say some pretty interesting things when their partners aren't around!! They then decided they wanted to play on the Wii, so inside we trooped (I have never played or watched the Wii, so was interesting!) The remaining guys (there were three) decided to play golf and I watched. It was hilarious. One guy ended up having to play so many shots on the second hole, that the game interrupted and just put him onto the next hole! ;)

The birthday girl came home an hour later & her other half ended up driving her friends into Northbridge (she was too drunk!!) While the other half was away, we ended up playing golf on the Wii - I've never had more fun!!

We went to bed around 1ish, but I couldn't get comfortable, and ended up not falling asleep until 3, Then waking up at 4 and 5 and 6 and 7, then finally slept until 9, then I finally got up.

Birthday girl and I cooked ourselves eggs and toast for breakfast and went outside to eat. Her other half surfaced about an hour later and one of her girlfriends from the previous night, rocked up not long after that - she had just come from a club!

I ended up getting home about 1 in the afternoon to an empty house and was finally able to have a shower!! Ahhh bliss!!

Disaster Dinner

An old school friend and I had made plans to try out The Botanica Bar & Bistro that recently reopened at Innaloo.

We booked for 6.30 but had to change the time as my friend suddenly got her monthlies on the way to her dad's place where I was to pick her up which ended up staining her jeans (every woman's worst nightmare!). She ended up having to go to the laundromat & wash and dry her jeans before we could go out.

We finally got there about 7.45. I had rung up and changed our booking to that time but they had given away our table - the person who took my call didn't update the bookings calendar!

They gave us a complimentary drink while we sat in the beer garden (which is very nice) and waited for a table.

We soon sat down for our dinner when halfway through, I realised that part of one of my fillings had come out and it kept scratching my tongue every time I swallowed or chewed!

We then went to the Paddington after for a couple of drinks and witnessed a fight between patrons and saw a couple of the bouncers chase after some guys through the park across the road. Not to mention the numerous people staggering across the road to the kebab place about midnight ;)

Movie Review: Star Wars - The Clone Wars

It was a last minute decision to go see this. I had won a double pass, but nobody was free to go with me and it was the last day that it was showing.

It bridges the gap between "The Clone Wars" and "Revenge of the Sith" but it has been ages since I've seen either of them. Probably would have been a good idea to watch them again, but...

Fickle Friends

How do you tell an old friend that they are behaving like a bastard? One of my friends is driving me mad. I've known him since I was in high school. We've been through a fair bit together and he's always been a bit unreliable but now it's starting to feel like an insult.

I haven't actually seen him at all for the last 2 years. He only gets in touch once in a blue moon. The last time I received a text announcing the birth of his son - great, considering I didn't even know he was in a relationship, let alone pregnant! And the time before that he called me at 2 in the morning wanting to know if I was out on the town - I was, up until he called, asleep because I was not well!!

I think the last time we actually spoke when he was supposed to be my 'date' for my friend's wedding a while ago, but cancelled literally 5 minutes before he was supposed to have been at my house to go!

I've added him as a friend on Facebook and not entirely sure if I should keep him there.

Would you say that's the behaviour of a good friend?
