This is a collection of random ideas and thoughts, which I will probably post when I'm bored or procrastinating.

yesterday

Just hanging out, just having fun
We're number one
Just hanging out, just having fun
Hey!
I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude
We're all dudes
Hey! ~ Song from 'Good Burger' (see picture below)







Yesterday was a fun day :-) I woke up at 7:30ish to the sound of Janelle knocking softly on the door and saying, "It's 7:30."
On the radio I heard this song 'I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair". Silly - punk rockers were in the 80's and they had safety pins in their noses, not flowers in their hair - those were the hippies, and they were in the 60's/70's.













See? Punk........................................hippie. Very different.

Onto the train station, where Janelle, Missy and I were joined by Lisa and Trevor (and later Pete). Trevor amused himself taking photos of feet. (Janelle, if you've still got them on your phone and you email them to me, I'll post them here!) Then we went to......the blood bank.

Janelle had managed to convince us to give blood. It's not too bad, but it's not exactly painless either. Just stay calm, just stay calm. It's funny - I can watch operations on TV while eating my tea, but can't watch them stick a needle in my own arm. Anyway, the feeling of it being there is supposed to wear off after a couple of minutes, but mine took awhile :-s Just stay calm, breathe deep. Meanwhile Missy and Nelle were like old pros, and Pete looked like he was holding up well. Trev was off giving plasma in some other part of the bank. They gave us food and drink afterwards - how nice are they :-)

Lisa had to go to work, so we saw her off at the bus station. Then Pete took us up to the top of the Myer centre to play with the laptops. (We also had a go at the X-boxes/PS2's.) Then lunchtime - Missy refused to let us pay - we bought chickens and bread and mayo, and went to the botanical gardens and had a picnic. Pete took a picture of a kookaburra. Various people carried my sleeping bag. I don't think I carried it all day.

Off to uni, where Janelle and I needed to do some work. Everyone got onto MSN. Eventually Nelle did too ;-) I did for a bit, but later got off, trying to work. Eventually I gave up, and we all decided to leave. On the citycat. Pete tried to sleep on a seat. But Missy and I pushed him off. Whoops. Then he dangled my sleeping bag over the back of the boat.

We saw Stacie Orrico at 4pm. Az from Night Alive interviewed Janelle, me and Pete. He got Pete to try out his pick up line on me ("I'm a man of integrity") - but it didn't work, sorry Pete! Good try though, and I'm sure it'll work on the right girl ;-) Stacie sang well, we enjoyed it, and we hope we were on the radio (but none of us got to hear it). Then back to the top of the Myer centre and we watched the end of Monsters Inc. Hehe - they started dismantling walls around us. Janelle freaked out!! It was funny. This random person also came up and said, "I'll sit here too, make it more family-like - nah, just kidding."

We went to our train via the ice-cream shop. Then as we were walking to the train station, we saw our train pull in, so we had to run!!!! "NO STRENUOUS ACTIVITY FOR 24 HOURS!!!" I yelled as we ran, but we didn't have any choice. We missed the train in the end anyway :-(

We made plans to get to Trev's and continue our fun day. Trev picked up Lisa and picked us Cavill's plus one up. We met Pete at KG and zoomed off to Trev's, where we met Gavin, Trev's brother, ate sausages and mashed potatoes, and watched this hilarious comedy show and The 6th Day (an Arnie movie). Well, Nelle and I watched some of it, but couldn't really handle it, so we went upstairs and did assignment work/read Asterix comics. Then the movie finished, Missy spent FOREVER ;-) on the internet, Pete and Trev waved a huge screwdriver around (it was just sitting on the table) and we drew silly pictures on my uni book.




















Then Pete drove us home.

What a great day! Thanks guys :-)

    Actually Punk was in the seventies Nic. The Germs, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Ramones, The Damned etc all had their hey day around about now. Meh, the "I wish I was a punk rocker" song is a bit silly anyway...sigh, easily manipulated record buying public:(

    Then I stand corrected. Thanks, Aaron. Unfortunately I must be getting old, as I thought my music teacher taught me that punk began in the 80's - but maybe he just meant it went on into the 80's.

    Well the idea of having funny metal spikes as part of clothing originated with the knights in medieval times. So were they knights or were they the first punk rockers? They might have had flowers in their hair as they only bathed twice a year and flowers were used to disguise the stench (hence the origination of the wedding bouquet)
    Sound like it was a great day though. How awesome is Arnie, and Asterix!!
