Excitement With A Capital

I arrived in Broadbeach QLD after a 12 hour drive, it was a long one. I stopped in at Coffs Harbour and I was so bored that I chatted up a nice girl and we had dinner together, nice but empty I suppose you’d describe her, nothing much to contribute, I don’t know maybe I bring that out in people at first, I’ve been told I can be overwhelming. Often as a pejorative. 

Brent and Stephen greeted me on the roadside. We went to 3 Bean which is apparently the ‘too cool for school’ crowd of coffee proprietors up here, they are open 24 hours so I imagine it’s the Sydney Equivalent of the people you get at Cafe Hernandez in Sydney, down by Kings Cross, lord the first time I went there the place was ruined for me, my friends older sister gave us a speech about how she loves to go there to ‘see the characters’, now, there’s a difference between people watching and trying to add depth to one’s character by surrounding oneself with ‘characters’. 

I like the area, it’s like a small Miami, as is evidenced further by the existence of a suburb called Miami in the vicinity. Due to a few complications Stephen was moving out, whilst Brent wished to stay but they didn’t know if the landlords would support this, we spent the night moving furniture and packing and cleaning, I went into the hysteria phase of sleep deprivation. I had to wonder, I came up with the promise of a bed, then it was the promise of a floor then it was the promise of a beach. Sleeping on a beach isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In a way I was fortunate as sleep didn’t take me at any stage, it was, a difficult day.

Sam was kind and he offered me a roll out futon, I had the money and certainly the desire to simply rent a room but I felt like I should try and spend my time with friends up here, it’s far too easy for me to go away and find my own fun. Everyone is having infighting which makes organising a single group meeting very difficult, Simon and Stephen the main perpetrators, Stephen I understand as always but Simon is his usual self-destructive self from what I have gathered. 

At the moment I’m alone at Sam’s writing and listening to music on speakers. I’ve lived in apartments since I was about 6 years old so the idea of having speakers which I can blast music through in the comfort of a house is a very seductive one for me. Great joy and all.

Met Sam’s girlfriend properly last night, there’s a long and complicated back story to her but she’s nice, I was in an odd way due to the hysteria so I suspect I made an impression somewhat diverged from my normal self, she’s very accommodating and honest though which I like, especially since I’m crashing in their love nest. 

I’m thinking of ordering a pizza, no one is here at the moment and I am concerned about leaving since I can’t lock up if I do and that leaves the place vulnerable. I haven’t had pizza in a very long time. I’m picky about my pizza, I don’t like too much sauce and I like extra cheese and then there is the whole no vegetables matter… God I’m an exciting person.
