About bloody time
Tuesday, February 14th, 2006
OK folks I am pleased and proud to report that I have been out, had some fun, flirted with a few boys and generally had a bloody good time. Such a good time that its taking me a couple of days to completely regain my composure.
The weekend started with dinner with a friend on Friday night then lazing around watching Margret Cho (I am the one that I want) and generally laughing my arse off. Yes, yes, I know she is a face puller, but she is still pretty funny.
Saturday Dingo and I had planned to go to the Midsumma Pool Party in Collingwood, figuring that it would be a lot of fun. Like how far can you go wrong with a bunch of poof, in a pool with music and drinking. Its got to be great - right?
Wrong.
This is Melbourne and without being too harsh about the place, these queens are generally so up tight that they can pretty much ruin anything. Call me bitter if you want, but they really are pretty torchered. Added to that the sound system was working only intermittently, there was an MC who made unintelligible announcements and basically I arrived with the hottest guy (Dingo being very easy on the eye).
The final straw was the "swim suit parade" hosted by the normally very funny Kaye Sera and entered by pool party goers. Thats when we left. Dingo had brought a date and the date had brought his room mate, both of whom are very nice guys, so the four of us went out to dinner at IlFortinu in St Kilda (delicious) and then on to the Greyhound for a drink and a bit of a dance. I have not been before so I was in for quite a treat. Its not often you get the chance to dance to Atomic Kitten.
I don't care what you think, pop music can be F.U.N.
We all went to the Market after that for a little while, but it was about my bed time so I headed home. The next day (Sunday) was relaxing, breakfast and the pool, then meeting up with Barbie to go to the Midsumma Tea Dance at Treasury Gardens. Not that was a LOT of fun. I am very partial to an afternoon dance event. None of that silly flopping around until dawn business, you can have your fun and get to bed at a reasonable hour if you so choose.
All up it was a wonderful weekend. So much so that I think I am going to dump my idea of going to Sydney for Harbour Party. There are a few people I would like to see, but basically I don't feel the need for another big weekend. Plus, I am loving my job so much I want to make sure that things are really on track and under control. Not out of guilt or fear or anything, but because I want to.
That's such a nice feeling. I have been sleeping badly this week (no comments on that please) so again its been a low blog week, but I will try to catch up. Promise.
