oh no sir, I must say you’re wrong.[lots of pics!]

[Listening To: Goodbye horses // Q. Lazzarus]

well. Thursday night I ended up staying at Luke’s house, which was fun =] we took pics in a park..

this is my favourite =] it was a bit windy though.

lol. But Luke’s eyes are gorgeous =]

heck yes we’re cool, haha.

It was nice. The next morning i didn’t start school until ten thirty, but owing to the massively long shower we took I missed the bus that would have mean i arrived on time. So I stumbled in to my only class for that day at quarter to eleven. I had the previous day’s mascara smudged down my cheeks, and apart from that I was makeupless. My hair hadn’t been done, and was even more messed up by the wind. My clothes were the exact same ones I’d been wearing the day before, and they were all scrunched up. on top of this, I was shivering because I’d just come ot of the freezing cold.

The first words out of Maggi’s mouth were "Lauren.. are you okay?"
I was fine, of course. But all the rest of the lesson she kept coming over to me asking if there was anything I needed to talk about. i told her I was fine, but she just kept saying "yes, but you just don’t look quite together" or "you still look quite shaken up." this was quite probably because I hate being messy and disorganised, but meh. After that john and Meggles bought me some bakery chips, and then walked me to my bus stop. I went home and tidied up, then caught the bus in to town to meet Luke.

hung out at the skate park for a bit, then Luke went with some guy to the bottle shop to buy goon, and left me behind. So i was sitting by myself, and Ben, one of the skaters, sits right next to me. he has a six pack of ted’s, and is drinking them, so I take a swig. He then says "there’s goon over the other side of the bowl. But I can’t be bothered going to get it. If you go get it you can have some." seeing as I’m poor and only had with me a quarter of a bottle of stones, that seemed like a wonderful offer. So I went and got the goon, and the juice near it, and joined ben and a few others on the grass. a fair few mouthfuls of goon and apple&blackcurrant juice later, Luke came back, so i went over to meet him. he and the guy he was with split up the goon, then Luke and I headed off, passing ben and his friends as we left. I waved goodbye, and ben, who’d apparently been drinking excessively since 10am and later that evening (I found out today) flipped out on an acid trip and doesn’t remember much of that day at all, yelled out ‘hey! come back here, bitch! I gave you goon! Twisted you fucking faggot, bring her back! Come back here!" and such. Later on Luke got a little bit grumpy with me because Ben offered me alcohol "only because he wanted to fuck me", but all my boyfriends have seemed to think that about every guy I’ve ever spoken to, so whatever.

Luke and I caught a bus to Ryan and Dave’s, where myself, Luke, Dave and Peirce proceeded to get drunk. Well, except Peirce, he was just high. Come to think of it, I’ve never hung out with Peirce when he’s not been stoned. Pictures ensued:

teehee. Luke + Peirce’s head.

lovely angles of Dave.

LOL @ DAVE. + my nose.

Peirce, stoned, amidst mess, with a tech deck. Happy.

Dave has scary eyes. Stones <3

haha, this is such a hideous picture of me.

it’s Peirce! Haha

lawl.

and some from my phone:

hat hairrr..

haha. These are our attractive faces, as you can tell. Where did this hat come from?

this one is super-blurry, and Peirce has a spoon in his mouth, owing to the fact that he was eating weetbix.

anyway, we went back to mine that night. the next morning i had training at work for four hours until 1pm, and then Hannah gave Luke and I a lift back to Ryan and Dave’s. We went to the supermarket with Peirce, who helped us on our bargain hunting quest. We bought frozen chips, 2 steaks and 2 pies, for under $7. heck yes. On the escalator on the way out, I gave Luke 5c. Luke was in a very.. destructive mood. (earlier, when we’d been out the back of my work with hannah, he’d ripped a ‘no parking or skateboards’ sign off of a post, and then been chased by a very angry man from Glasser&Parker.) anyway, he wedged the 5c in the the thread of the escalator, which came to a grinding halt and broke. so we bolted.

we ate the pies and watched Fully Flared, a skate dvd. Then Dave borrowed Ida’s car (Ida is the girlfriend of Ricky, who lives at Ryan and Dave’s, and is a friend of Harold and Will’s. Tasmania.) so that he, Luke and I could go look at the American aircraft carrier. As we got in the car, an old man fell over on the roundabout and didn’t get up. we waited, and still no movement, so we went to help him. He was bleeding pretty badly, so we called an ambulance, but he didn’t want an ambulance, so this old man, who was wearing a kilt and had a cane to help him walk.. tried to run off. It was pretty funny. Luke followed him so the ambulance could find him, and ended up having to rescue the man again because he keeled over in some bushes lol.

Once that was all over, we went to see the ship, then headed back to the house. When we got back, peirce had gone to work but Ryan and his gf Taegen (who, it turns out, went to st marys until year eleven haha. she’s like, nearly twenty though. Whichis probably a good thing considering Ryan is nearly 25.) were there. The five of us ate and started to drink some goon which was leftover, then started walking to the brisbane. Teagen and Ryan had a wine bottle full of their red goon, and Luke had a juice bottle full of his goon and red cordial. On the way, we passed a takeaway shop which had a nice outdoor setting around the side which was not bolted down. Dave thought this would look nice at the house, so he and Luke took it and hid it around the corner so they could collect it on their way back. Then, as we walked past vinnies on the opposite side of the road, Luke dashed accross and came back with a full, unopened bottle of peach champagne, which he opened and gave to me. It was yum. In town we passed a window with all these weird cross-bred stuffed animals, so I took pictures on my phone:

why yes, he is wearing a ‘mr strong’ jacket. =P

then we got to the brisbane to play some pool. There were lots of American sailors in there, and one of them kept inviting Luke and I to smoke his german cigarettes with him, they were pretty good. Just before we left i got asked for ID, and i said I didn’t have it on me, and the bouncer was like ‘I’ll let you off just this once’ because taegen had her id and she is nearly 20. but then he kicked someone else out, so the other bouncer was like ‘I’m really sorry but i can’t let you stay..’ but that was okay because we were leaving anyway. Luke took me around the corner so I could pee in the bushes in the garden behind the old penetentiary or whatever it is that’s accross from the brisbane. As I was standing in a pile of leaves, something jumped out of the leaves and bit me on the ankle. I didn’t really realise this at the time, i thought I’d caught my ankle on a branch or something, but there are two dots on my ankle like I’ve been bitten by a spider or a snake, and they’re quite painful to touch. But I’m not too worried.

Then dad came and took us back home. The end =P
