Dan’s 21st

Walk Away – Paula DeAnda

I’m gonna remember you
you gonna remember me
I’m gonna remember you
you gonna remember me

[verse 1]
I saw you with your new girl just yesterday
and I feel that I must confess
even though it kills me to have to say
ill admit that I was impressed
is it calling just showed up affection
gotta commend you on your selection
though I know I shouldnt be concerned
in the back of my mind I cant help but question

does she rub your feet (when you’ve had a long day)
scratch your scalp (when you take out your braids)
does she know that you (like to play ps2 till 6 in the morning like I do)

[chorus]
I cant explain this feeling
I think about it everyday
and even though we’ve moved on
it gets so hard to walk away
(I’m gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
walk away, walk away
(I’m gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
walk away
(i cant forget it how we use to be)

[verse 2]
I guess I gotta live my life from day to day
hoping maybe you’ll come back
and though I tell myself not to be afraid
to move on but it seems I cant
no other man has given me attention
it aint the same as your affection
[ these lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
though I know I should be content
in the back of my mind I cant help but question

does he kiss me on the forehead (before we play)
show on my doorstep (with a bouquet)
does he call me in the middle of the day (just to say)
baby I love you (like you used too)

[chorus]
I cant explain this feeling
I think about it everyday
and even though we’ve moved on
it gets so hard to walk away
(I’m gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
walk away, walk away
(I’m gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
walk away
(i cant forget it how we use to be)

[bridge]
so hard to express this feeling
cause nobody compares to you (to you)
and you know she’ll never love you like I do

[chorus 2x]
I cant explain this feeling
I think about it everyday
and even though we’ve moved on
it gets so hard to walk away
(I’m gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
walk away, walk away
(I’m gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
walk away

[outro]
I’m gonna remember you
you gonna remember me
I’m gonna remember you
you gonna remember me

I love songs with a catchy meolody, and that’s exactly what this one is doing for me right now.  I find myself replaying it a lot lately 🙂  Awesome 😀

I went to a party last night.  My workmate’s 21st.  Talk about a hell of a lot of food and alcohol!  GOD!  It was an open bar, spirit and all.  We even had a waiter who brought us whatever alcohol we wanted, when we wanted.  He’d even top up people’s glasses as soon as he saw they were about three-quarters full.  Very essentric looking guy, but very good at his job.  It was nice to be waitered on.  And the food!  My workmate is from an Italian family, and he had warned me to make sure I was hungry before I arrived.  Christ, he wasn’t kidding!  All the food was home-made from scratch, and his mother is a firm believer in no-preservative food (no frozen re-heated shit).  His mother didn’t remember me, although I’ve seen her shopping in the store a few times before.  His brother was there, who I’d worked with that day, and I’d picked up my ex-workmate Tash from her house and drove her to the event.  There were probably about 60 people there, and I think we were the last to arrive, as we both were working and couldn’t get there until after the party had started.  My ex-manager was there also with his wife (the same people who were at the xmas party), so was good to catch up with them again.  There was one gorgeous guy there with spikey jet-black hair spiked at the top and back, yet straight at the front.  His girlfriend was beautiful also.  I was sitting in a direct line with him to the video screen where all my workmate’s baby photo’s were being rotated on a slideshow 🙂  Haha, so cute.  So I had a good view of the screen and a good perve without really averting my eyes 😉 Nice.

Dan loved my Pussycat Dolls DVD I got him, and Tash got him a Beer Pump.  Haha, nice to outdo me.  But yeh Dan really liked it as I knew he was obsessed with the Pussycat Dolls – always drooling over them.  His girlfriend/fiance was there also looking beautiful as ever, but she seemed somewhat cold-shouldered towards me it seemed – maybe it was cos of the DVD.   Jesus, not like it was a hardcore porno!  It was also her birthday so I wished her happy b’day. 

Some of the dessert was beautiful – Italian specialities I’d never tried or even heard of, but, oh my god, orgasmic.  We asked Dan’s mum if she could cook a batch for us.  She spent about 4 hours baking the cake alone!  Dan definitely would have had a memorable birthday.

Jas was messaging me all night wondering if we could hang out.  I said I was at a 21st.  He was at an 18th.  I dropped Tash home and opened the present she bought for me.  It was a set of shot-glasses and a family guy dashboard sensor – haha, i love those things – i bought Luke one for Christmas one year – I think he might have lost his though.  So mine’s attached to the dashboard in my car 🙂  I dunno how long it’ll hold there though in this hot weather, although the adhesive was strong.

At the party we were all given ‘lemon liquour’ fancy bottles to take home with us – they were on the table when we were seated.  i sat next to Simon, the produce manager at my work, and he is fucking hilarious.  Dirty, but funny!  Tash was on my left.  The lemon liquour drinks were 25% alcohol.  When I dropped Tash home and talked to her housemates for a while (and the two complete strangers there too), I drank a specialty Vodka Lemon-Lime and Bitters that Gina made for me, and also they dared me to scull the bottle of lemon liqour.  I am not used to drinking that much, let alone sculling, but I had had a vodka-orange, Lemon-ruski, vokda cruiser, Ricadona, heaps of coke and some bubbly, as well as the strong-liquor that was in the Italian desserts at the party, so I attempted to.  I only got like a quarter down, considering it was something I’d

never tried before.  It wasn’t the alcohol that stopped me, it was more the shape of the mouthpiece and also the sourness of the lemon.  I took two more sculling attempts before telling them to try it.  Kat liked it but Gina almost threw it up over the varandah haha.  See, I didn’t do too bad!

They were all talking about going out, and then they werent cos they were too drunk, but Tash and I wanted to go out, so she called a cab, and we did 🙂  We went to the Valley to check out the new MET nightclub on Wickham street.  The line was gigantic, as you’d expect with a new club and a Saturday night.  Tash and I got in the line, and I knew on the cab ride in that I needed to use the bathroom, badly.  My stomach wasn’t liking the mixture of alcohol it had consumed.  Our original idea was to wait in the line and use the toilets inside, but the line was huge and basically was hardly moving.  I was forced to leave and tell Tash I’d message her when I got back – cos I couldn’t wait.  I ran up the street to the gay pub, the Wickham, but the line was gigantic there too!  I dunno what was going on, but there were so many people.  I thought ‘GAHHH’ and walked back to the mall where I knew the public restrooms were (yes I know, public, but I was desperate).  There was a shorty line and about 5 cubicles so I wasn’t waiting for too long, although it felt like forever.  I finally used the bathroom and felt much better and went back to the MET to join the line.  The line was even bigger than before, and really didn’t seem to be moving.  I realised that was because there was a line in  equal length trying to enter the club from the opposite direct also!  Jesus!  I felt absolutely fine, but as the line moved forward, I gradually started feeling worse and worse.  I was like ‘ok I’m good I’m good…i’m good, yep im good….i’m okay….’ and as I got toward the front of the line, i was telling myself ‘who are you kidding, you are NOT okay’ and I was forced to leave the line and run back to the restrooms.  By this time Tash had sent me a message saying how awesome MET was, and was wondering where I was.  I had messaged her I was in the line earlier, but messaged her telling her I was sick again.  It totally sucked.  The bouncers seemed to be rejecting people also, which made sense considering how packed it was!

I used the restrooms again, getting the same cubicle, and went outside to the mall and sat on a seat.  Tash found me and said how awesome the club was, that it was even better than Family with bigger dancefloors.  Some guy had asked her to pretend to be his partner, because they weren’t letting guys in unless they had a chick with them.  So I didn’t feel so bad, I wouyldn’t have gotten in anyway.  Had I been fine when I was waiting in the line with Tash, It woulda been all fine and dandy, but noooooooo – I couldn’t handle my alcohol could I!?  SO basically a trip to the valley for me was exactluy just that.  I spent my time there in a cubicle hahaha.  Tash wasn’t too disappointed as she was off her tits anyway, and really wanted to go home and sleep.  I was feeling fine by the point, and have been evrer since and even now as i write this – typical!  We caught the flat-fare taxi home and there were a few people witing.  I noticed one guy who was rather hot, kinda big arms, tight shirt, nice designer jeans, definitely straight.  Turns out Tash and I got the same cab as them, and I was sitting next to him and across from this other interesting guy who had his arm around his (I presume) girlfriend.  They were very nice guys and girls and were heading back to Strathpine and Caboolture respectively.  One part of the conversation was the hot guy saying ‘…even if I were gay, I’d choose a better guy than that!…’ or something.  I think they realised I was gay cos he gave me a quizitive look to see if I was okay with what they were talking about.  Maybe I do come across as a complet fag or something – have to wonder sometimes.

Tash and I got dropped off first, and said goodbye to our new short-lived friends, as the cab continued on it’s way.  I was going to stay the night (my car was at Tash’s), but I’d been in the bathroom heaps and hadn’t drank anything in ages, so I figured I was good enough to drive home.  The cab passed through a massive RBT-roadblock on the way home, which I noticed on the way there, so I was a little cautious driving home as I knew there had been a road-block on the road I was on a few months previous.  I also figured if they had a road black back at Wilston then there would more than likely not be another one so close.  I was right, and got home safe and sound.  The lights were all out, and I was stuffed, so I jsut took off all my clothes, and climbed into bed, naked.

I had a good sleep and woke up to my housemate saying the new housemae was moving in (yes, i’m getting a new housemate – basically Bryn can’t afford to live on what he is so he’s moved out of his room into the spare room which is the room leading to the bathroom.  It’s going to be annoying having to wake him to go to the bathroom most nights, but hey, got no other choice now!  He spent all yesterday moving whilst I was at work, and the new housemate is going to have his old room, next to the door.  Bryn is using the spare bed that was in my room, so I have a bit more space in my room now, which I’m very happy about 😀 Yay!  I totally cleaned it today, vacuumed and all, so it’s looking pretty spick 🙂  I figured I’d better, new housemate and all.  But if he goes in my room – he’d better look out.  His name is Chris and I met him before.  He seems nice enough but God, derro.  Bryn sure picks em.  Bryn just pulled me out of my room and said he just had a small argument with him – he parked his car in the sports centre carpark next door and bryn said ‘you can’t park there’ and he was like ‘i’ll park anywhere i like’.  Bryn said if there’s any trouble he’ll be right out the door, even if he’s only been here two hours.  Faaaaaaantastic.  All I know is if he touches my shit he’ll fucking know about it 🙂

Anyway I gotta get ready, I’m going to Cirque Du Soleil.  I got my ticket yesterday after work – went to the city and, miraculously, they still had it.  Phew!  That was a relief.  Now I’m going to enjoy myself for a few hours 🙂

Mwah guys and girls 🙂
