In my rather lengthy, but perspectively short, life so far I've had some times I'd rather forget and some that I just plan out forget. It seems the later is growing ever more apparant. Although I've had some times I wouldn't trade for the world, "funtimes" as I like to cal lthem. I've met some people who have astounded me like none other; who's simple presenace can bring me back from the darkest of moods. In a optimistic attempt to cheer myself up, I've decided to rattle off and share my top 5 funtime stories, in no particular order, with the people who have probably been there to experience it; my few facebook friends. Enjoy my memories, share in nostalgi or simply click away. Regardless, this is my life.
Eels up in NowraAhh, Nowra. The town of J's. Jambaroo, Jamica, Jelly and Jinosaurs! Sure, those things may not actually reside there, but there are to J's who day. Miss Jess and miss Jessi. Boy I've had some great times with these two girls. I've never had friends like these two before: we had a picnic in the park and fed ducks! And in an act of awesomeness to counter the fact that feeding ducks isn't awesome enough, we decided to feed eels too! We got some cheese and bacon balls and thrw them into the lake. And to our absolute amazement, the eels ate them! Oh it was ever so cute and amazing, I do swear it.
But the times weren't simply limited to the park, oh no. The ol' Nowra movie complex has held many great times too. From wearing aweosme cookie eating pants, or Africa pants as I call them, and crowns and watching Where the Wold Things Are, laughing like a sped al lthe while, to watching The Uninvited and being scared beyond all belief. We've sat in their rooms and watched That's How I Met Your Mother, talked about all random sorts of things and even had some brilliant deep and meaningfuls.
Although nothing will top new years down in Nowra. I was incredibly drunk and very upset: for what reason I can't even remember. So I decided I'd run like crazy, for no reason. While everyone was at the party drinking away, I was wearing just my underwear and running randomly in the streets of Nowra, sculling alcohol as I did. In the end Jessi came and found me in my pitiful state: hot, sweaty and drunk off my tits. Yet she still had the courage to hug me and organise for Jess to put me to bed. Jess was even kind enough to dress me into some proper clothes to sleep in. If that's not true friendship, than I really don't know what is (:
Blink quickly, there's porn on the horizonAhhhh, now this is a night I really enjoyed. It's ironic though, all of our actual plans we cancelled and we did very little. But it was humble, relaxing and I got to learn more about one of my closest friends. My night in the city with Angie: one of my greatest adventures.
The plan started off with myself, Justin, Maddie and Angie all meeting up and going to Blink. I had never, and still haven't, been to any club before so I was meant to lose my club virginity, so to speak. We met up at the square and saw ketchupz there too! He was getting off the train at liverpool, but in the end he played a much bigger role in the nights events. After a sped filled train ride with ketchupz being silly beyond belief, he soon left us and it was just the 3 of us. Maddie was to meet us later on, so off we went!
We eventually arrived in the city and we were ready to party hard! So we went into the club, LOL JOKES, Angie's ID wasn't accepted. So there we were: stuck in the city with nothing to do. Justin went in as he was meeting his friends, so Angie decided to show me one of her favourite things to do in Tasmania. We went to this little chinese restraunt/bar, it was so humble! The food was amazing and Angie gave me great insight into her life, I really do love that girl (you see, I do mean it Angie, I'm just too shy to say it to you). The waiters were so nice to us so we tipped them quite a lot, karma really paid off for us
What to do now? We thought. I know! Let's go to one of those seedy upstairs porn shops! So we bought some Dr Pepper (which is amazing!) and went into the porn shop. It was so gross haha, but the guy accepted Angie's ID. Ironic much?! We felt kind of awkward, though, and left pretty quickly. We met up with Maddie, who bought along Courtney in the process, and told them we couldn't go into Blink. But we were going to liverpool to see Ketchupz again, he was at a party there and we were going to crash it! >:]
After Coutrney got really angry and furious that we were leaving, we set off for liverpool. When we got there, Ketchupz was drunk beyond all belief. He was a silly lad and we had to take care of him. For a while he was topless and crying like it was going out of fashion, so I had to keep hugging him and reassuring him that everything was ok haha. I truly love that kid, he's a funny guy [:
We watched many many episodes of skins, had more D&M's and eventually fell asleep at Ketchupz house. It was a grand evening
Chillin' with my best friendRocky and Bullwinkle. Howard and Vince. Dylan and Zowie. For many, many years this girl was like no other to me. I've never been as close to anyone as I was this girl. Ironically, when she first met me she absolutely hated me. Whenever I saw her she'd scream out "****" and insult me like all tomorrow. But within time we started to become friends and soon a solid friendship was formed. One that I'd never had expected, but at the same time never would I take it back.
We've had some great adventures over the years, too many for me to even share. This isn't an overstatement either, I really couldn't write them all! From city adventures to maccas runs, from latenight to drunkentimes. We've sung, shared, ranted, cried and laughed al lthe while. We've drank, ate insane amounts of maccas and had unhealthy amounts of cold rock as well. I swear I put on 50 pounds when we were hanging out, we'd just get bored and go for maccas runs to kill time. We were even so fat that we made our own food franchise! Dickies: we don't dick you around.
She's been my rock over the years and cared for me like none other. Unlike many people, Zowie just 'got' me. We had so many inside jokes, most of which were stolen from some memorable TV show. We'd call ourselves Howard and Vince, I was the old boring guy with the advice and Zowie was the young sunshine child who always made our adventures awesome. We came up with a formula for describing people [relevant adjective] + [place of work/place of relevance] + [gender]. Classic examples include pretty JB girl and hot JJ's guy.
I've met a lot of great people through Zowie and shared a lot of times which have bought me unrivalled joy. There was a period in life of about 3 months, when our friendship was at it's absolute best, where I said to myself "You know, when I think about it I don't need a fancy house, a loving girlfriend or even a decent job. As long as I get to spend time with my bestfriend and keep having the kind of adventures I'm having now, than there's nothing else in life I could ever ask for". I really meant it, too.
Kay at K-martWhen I walked into K-mart for the first time the last thing I'd expect to get is a well fashioned, delightfully happy, insanely hyperactive sped of a friend. But, well, that's exactly what happened. Kym, or Kay as we aptly nicknamed her (Kay from K-mart, brilliant!) has been one of the few things bringing me happiness in the past 8 months. She's been one of my closest friends and is one of the few friends that I have left now days. Much like Zowie, Kay simply 'gets' me.
We've gone out to a lot of different places and I've experienced adventures I've never had before with anyone else. We went Ice Skating, getting epicly lost along the way and finding out, after much pain, that I really do suck at skating. We've watched an insane amount of movies together, eaten a dam lot of cold rock and we've even been drinking a few times together. No drinking memory sticks in my mind more than being at the bowling club, drunk of my absolute chops, trying to bash up a cardboard sign in the pokie machines claiming "a midget stole my money". And all the while I remember Kay holding me up, making sure I didn't hurt myself. We've been swimming at the waterhole, swimming at the beach and took about 50 billion photos! I've never been big on photos, but ever since meeting Kay I love them!
Most infamously, though, are our latenight adventures. If there's anything that sums our friendship up, it's purple rockstar and latenight. We've had many, many nights being hyperactive from caffeine and sugar, running around like speds and buying new clothes. We've talked a lot of absolute rubbish, had a lot of D&M's and made around 70 thousand phone calls to sumatra whilst at latenight. She's taught me to take an interest in my appearance and has really given me confidence in what I wear. Most importantly, though, she's always been there for me. She's given me great advice and been there for fun adventures when I've needed it the most. Be it latenight, drinking or simply chillin, our times are always the funtimes.
Crocodiles, book covers and purple moustachesLet's set the scene, shall we? A day in the city, meeting carboard crocodiles named barry and looking at womens clothing in various department stores. There we trips to starbucks to have some delicious creations with cream on top and we even met an old man who hit me on the head with his walking cane!
So after a long day of city adventures, we got a train back to woy woy to continue the funtimes. So we decided to "attempt" to put a book cover on my new diary: it didn't turn out too well. The book would of gained 50 pounds in weight from the wrapping and without a ruler, it wasn't all that neat. So we decided to be speds and make purple moustaches out of the leftover laminate. Everyone on the train thought we were retarded, but we were the sexiest purple moustached people this side of yorksville! A sporadic day to match a lady just the same, I miss out city adventures greatly
