First weeekend in Perth

So there i was casually minding i own business in my room, innocently skype-ing a dear friend of mine, when suddenly... out of nowhere, this scaly green THING with antennas and foam at the the end of his hideous face, throws itself in my direction and i freak...on camera. Im sure to my beloved recipient it looked like some kind of aneurysm but i assure you no, that look was in fact  a 20 year old homosexual discovering that in the right circumstances, he has the ability to fly. 

Never have my legs been tucked so far under my chin as i huddled tot he top of my office chair like the mast on a sinking ship. luckily it stopped hopping and in a shower of blue, red and black biros i caged the beast under my pen pot. Such was the beginning of my weekend, i didn't sleep to well. 

However, today Saturday morning, was the first time i ventured into the city on my own, i arrived in the peak of the heat and like all pasty tourist required refreshment. By Google maps 'chance' i happened to stumble across one of two of Perth gays bars, as you do in a foreign country i walked to the bar and made one of the hardest decisions of my life, all the gays watching, will the fresh meat order a cocktail? or a beer? terrible i know but i went with a cider, several sips and a fidgety perch on a window seat later and conversation was struck between myself and a group of lads. I MADE FRIENDS! yesssss! turns out one is a friggin millionaire! so what followed was a combination of drinks, pool, poker, stand up comedy DVD from the lovely Pam Ann. (amazing comedian Google her). amazing three course BBQ and champagne! hence the facebook status earlier this evening about me loving life.

After a dodgy start i seem to have regained the trust of my fellow weekend. phew! Apparently the whole city shuts down on a sunday, just like when a snow flake hits the london underground so im going to have to stay in tomorrow and amuse myself with writing and university organisation...

joy.
