It’s December.. This Is It!
Travel Location: Oceania,Australia,New-South-Wales,Sydney,Newtown
Both me and Marc had delicious lie-ins today. My eye has developed a juicy black eye and my arm feels like it’s been punched from my Tetanus jab. Lazed about for a bit until realising I actually should get my ass into gear and try and get my laptop sorted. I had arranged to meet Nadia at the wake up at 4 because it was the 2nd to last day to see Michael Jacksons ‘This Is It’ and on Tuesdays it’s half the price at the cinema.. bonus! Eventually once I was ready there didn’t seem much point actually taking my laptop today because it meant carrying it around all day because we planned on going for drinks after. So me and Zoebird set off to the train station, but not before stopping by in a shop that we had always noticed in Newtown. My Paul’s Boutique bag has officially died on me, the zip and the strap has broken, and previously I noticed a cute little bag in the shape of a phone in this shop window. This excited me! I have had a phonebag before and no bag has ever been as great (other than my rubix cube one). Unfortunately on this one you can’t actually take the phone OFF like you can with my other, but it still looks seriously cool. So naturally I bought it.. and I couldn’t resist buying a cute top in there either. After feeling incredibly satisified we got on the train to the city.
Arrived at Central! Hello second home. Couldn’t resist a bit of sushi on our way. Stopped by in the internet cafe to catch up on X Factor but only got halfway through to Stacy singing until it was 4 and we had to go meet Nadia. She came to meet us by the lift downstairs.. she arrived with Lee and Paul but luckily they quickly said their goodbyes and didn’t linger enough to make me twitch. We went up to the room to drop our bags off (awww it was so nice seeing the room!) and then made our way to the cinema. Amazingly I thought it would be totally packed up seeing as it’s cheap day and it finishes tomorrow.. but luckily we got good seats and it was very nearly empty! Holy cow I was excited for this film. I am like a super-duper-pooper Michael Jackson fan. I have ALWAYS defended him in every way possible. Anyone who I’ve heard slate him in the past all I need to do is ask them if they like his music..and no-one EVER says no. It’s impossible to not like it.. he was a musical genius, and watching this film only proves it more. So if you still can, go see it! Even Zoebird was buzzing off it and she really doesn’t care for MJ at all. I guess the film was so exciting because it was real footage, and it looked like the show was going to be incredible. I was one of the lucky and yet unlucky few who had tickets to see his 4th show.. I’m so gutted it didn’t happen because some of the stuff he had prepared was outofthisworld amazing. Throughout the film he was incredible and that was him not even doing it full out because he was saving himself.. his voice is still BEAUTIFUL. I was expecting him to have got worse because of his age but it was still stunning. He knew exactly what he wanted, the minute he heard something ‘off’ he would correct it straight away. The whole way through it just proved what a legend he really was, from his choreography to his music writing and of course his performance. Even if no-one was watching he owned the stage and was really into it. I want to be able to perform like that.
So enough about MJ because I can literally go on for hours once I get started.. the film was great yadayadayada. AAAAAANYHOO, it was 7 by the time we got out and immediately went to the bottle shop. Got some goonage and headed up to the room to start drinking. Met a few of Nadia’s roomies and soon enough we were all a bit merry! Zoebird was smashed, completely. Started singin and swayin and god knows what else. Naturally we all headed down to side bar, the quiz had been on and Lee and Paul were down there (yipee). Strangely enough Cass and Ian the posh boys from our room were with them. Found out they had been to the blue mountains and now they were back! But all of them sat there made me uncomfortable because Lee and Paul obviously don’t like me and it was all very whispers and weird looks being thrown over which I was not appreciating. So I moved away and went and joined Nadia and the others across the room. Had some sort of delicious cocktail and started dancing the night away. I really shouldn’t be drinking because I was on anti-biotics but whatever.. the ones I’m on aren’t totally bad to drink on. Eventually Marc comes into town to meet us, good times. However he’s stone sober and I can tell he’s bored shitless. To be fair Side Bar was completely deaded but because we were smashed it was fun. Zoebird was giving the eye to some MINGERRRRRRRRRR. Oh my GODDDDD! He was fat, bald and looked about 50 and because he saw her eyeing him up (beer goggles!) he grabbed her and started speaking to her. I could tell she was gonna go for it. He was going in for the kill and she was lapping every second of it up. We were all stood in fits of giggles and because we were laughing I guess she got embarrassed and realised he must be hideous if we really were disgusted and then moved away from him. thank fricking goodness.. I’d never have let her live it down if she had pulled that guy! ew ew ew ewewewewwwwwwwwwww. So everything was hunky dory until Lee and Paul showed up again.. and of course they had to go and ruin the whole night! Immediately it went into awkward mode and I just wasn’t appreciating them being there in general. I feel bad on Nadia because she’s stuck in the middle and it must be hard but it’s obvious that me and those 2 can’t even be in the same presence without it getting iffy. Lee went to bed but unfortunately Paul stayed.. and Paul is the gobby one. At least Lee has some kind of very mild maturity about him, but Paul is a complete gobshite who should sleep in a cot.
So I can’t remember exactly what happened but I think before I had tried to give Lee a compliment to make an effort and had said ‘you’re looking brown Lee’.. Paul then opens his fucking mangled mouth and replies ‘ERR DID SOMEONE SAY SOMETHING LEE?’ so I’m like wtf all I did was try and be nice and you throw it back in my face. Then later on he was talking to Nadia about me (and I know full well it was about me) and I’m like why the hell do you always have to start shit for no reason.. and then it all kicked off. He full on shouted in my face and is like WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAS TO BE ABOUT YOU?! (to be fair, everything bloody should be about me ffs) and he starts making up bullshit that I’ve accused him of stuff that I had no recollection of whatsoever.. and then he tells me to get out of ‘his’ bar because I’m not staying at wake up anymore and that I’m a stupid slag. That was the final straw. A barman walked past and saw the entire thing and I full on blew up in Paul’s face. The barman had seen what Paul had said and was like woah are you okay. If I had said no I know he would have chucked Paul out.. but if I had done that I know everyone would have bitched at me. So I’m shouting at Paul and then he did the most pathetic childish thing ever, he was like ‘DON’T SPEAK TO ME’ and gave me the goddamn hand.. THE HAND?! Who even does that in this century?! The guy has actual issues. So I’ve completely sobered up with anger, Marc is bored and Zoebird is still lost in her own world. I storm out and all I can think about is a big fat greasy burger to take my mind off it. I know I shouldn’t have caved in but I couldn’t resist and had to have a Mcdonalds. Me, Zoebird and Marc head to Mcdonalds and I’m absolutely raging. I take all my agression out on a Mcchicken Sandwich meal (large!) and ramble on about what an ugly little gremlin Paul is and realise after that the meal wasn’t enough and me and Marc go halves on 20 chicken nuggets for $12. I’m an actual pig. I pretty much had 2 meals but it made me feel so much calmer after. Mainly to do with the fact I was so stuffed I couldn’t even speak. Zoebird was more angry at Paul for ruining the entire night because she was having loads of fun.. and I guess so was I.
I ring Nadia and go and meet her to get her room key to get my stuff. Lee is in the room but he gets completely blanked and I walk in and straight back out. Unfortunately Paul is in the lift on the way down and he tries to be all clever and is friendly in a jokey way by saying ‘Hello muffin cake’ or something like that.. which just angered me even more because that is what I do! I always do the teasing not the other way round so I was just like.. are you kidding me? Never speak to me again. Nadia is wasted and asks if I’m okay and says sorry etc.. so I just explain that me and those 2 should not be in each others company again because it just gets awkward. They go off and get some food and we head to the train station. Only to discover that trains had stopped running and I had a damn return ticket, and Marc had JUST bought one! All pissed off and silent we get in a taxi and go home. Once in bed we all settled down and went back into happy mode. Got into some mega deep discussion that lasted like nearly 2 hours.. about politics, about religion etc.. really deep stuff! It was a very fun conversation actually and really stimulated my brain and made me forget about any weird goblin creatures called Paul. Gradually we all passed out. Toodles!
Goodnight world. x
