The Book of Ashes

Dinner at Katrina's 3:58AM

It has been a three 5c day. The kind that is good. Very good indeed, altho I may have found one after midnight so I don't know if that counts...

Its now 1/4 to four and I'm trying to type sober. It ends up alright but only after I've backspaced a quadbillion times to remove my mistakes. My mistake. Ever get a zit on your chest that just hurts when you squeeze it but won't pop. Girls? So Dan has become me. Soft but with an excuse. He has a girl friend. But I guess the day should start where it belongs. Back at the begining when I arose around 11am to an average Wellingtonian day. After the usual morning chores I decided to set up my map that I had been given for my birthday. I hung it on my wall in my room and decided I was going to create little flags for all my friends overseas and place them on it. Unfortunetly I didn't have any pins to use so it was off to the shops. Not after I had observed that Australia is the most stand-outish country in the world. It just glares at you, there all by itself calling for you...

So Tom and I wondered into Courtenay place and checked out a photography gallery. It was alright. We were slightly perplexed by the lone icecream trolley all by itself. If we had taken an iceream who were we to pay??? So Tom went home and I did some shopping. Some pins for my map, some sun screen for skiing, some food for the house and eating. Next thing you knew I was home and my flags were up on my map. Kate & Robyn are my only friends overseas and they're both in Aussie so thats a little boring. Oh and then theres Gerry, shes way overseas and thats not at all boring. She made me the coolest card for my birthday. Its home-made with shinny gold and orange paint, portraying the sun. I love it. Man its hard to type when you are this drunk. You can't notice it but I can.

So anyway today was Chars birthday. I had a V, wished Char happy birthday and caught up with Lee then headed out to Island Bay with Dan to meet Katrina's flatmates and her flat. Katrina is cool, I like her, very friendly. Her flatmates were pretty cool too. One of them cooked us dinner and it was good. I had a good time and the conversation was good. The topic of interest for the night was bio-ethics (do I remember correctly?). Put simply if a person wants to amputate a limb should they have the right too (just as should you have the right to commit suicide?) or should you as their doctor abide by their wishes? Very interesting. The night was awesome. After a couple of sleepy time teas it was time to head home. I gave Martin a call and headed round to pick him up. Sifty had called me earlier but had gone to bed by now.

So Martin and I arrived home and caught up with Thomas and a female friend of his having a few drinks. We chatted for a while and I caught up on a few drinks since I had been sober for driving. After about 3 quick ones we headed into town as I had a good feeling and was keen for a boogy.

I knew where to go. My favourite place. Diva. A place where one can dance and hot chicks abide. And it was so. Martin and I left Tom and Claire to dance. We found a spot down the end and danced away. Two hot chicks came and danced with us and I knew I was way too sober. I told Martin I needed a drink and he abliged by going to get us one (it was his round). One of the hot chicks also left and the other was left with two guys talking too her. I gave her a smile and she looked back at me so I smiled again and she came over and asked if she could dance with me so I said YEAH and we danced. Dirty dancing I believe. Her friend came back and I was then too shy to dance with her and in reality liked her friend better so waited for Martin to arrive, hurry up Martin, with my drink. Finally he came back and I drank. Happy once more. Then the chick came up to me and said she was leaving to Barney's so I said bye. She looked at me surprised then left..

Lost chance 4:04AM

Martin scolded me for letting her go. Obviously that was an invitation for me to go with her to Barneys. Unfortunetly I am stupid. Truthfully I didn't think to go with her. But then my priorities are a little different and even tho she was hot in a white top with big breasts I think I could have done better. So anyway looking round there was no longer any better left. Tom was looking pretty friendly with his chick so Martin convienced me to go to Barneys. I resisted but thoughts of hot chicks invaded and I left. We arrived at Barneys and straight away I saw the hot chicks friend. Talking to others. We went and danced and the hot chick was dancing with another guy. Barneys sucked. Why would I be interested in a chick that went there anyway? So we left. Indigo was next and that was suck. Then back to Diva. Diva was still cool. We got another beer and were right next to Tom and his girl so moved down the end to dance. Martin went toilet and I looked down the room to see Tom making out in the centre of the room with his chick. Tom. Tom. Tom. Oh dear. So it was time to leave. Everywhere else was closing. We went to Paradiso bar for a while which was pretty cool then went home. Got some BK on the way. Now I'm here and its 4am.

Yesterday I did a mish out to Kilbernie with Tom and we had a game of tennis. He is good, but out of practise. Later on Si came round to borrow some skiing gear then had a phone call from Lee then went to see 40 days and 40 nights. Now I'm fucking cold cause I have no top on. Night all
