Went to a party
Went to a party

My first Aussie house party, with a theme no less.
“Bad Hair”
I teased it and sprayed it with the Fructis equivalent of “Aquanet”
It came out smashing and got crazy looks on the bus.
Got to the Host’s fantastic “Queenslander” style house
Beautiful hardwood floors, art on the walls
Collage was created on the walls, old school Polaroid pictures of our hair
Stuck on the white paint with blue sticky tack.
Host with the most, what a chef.
Antipasto and sushi for all.
Fantastic music, comfy chairs on a comfy porch
Kitten comes to say hello and nibble on my wrist
The Aussies love to hear me swear.
Say the Canadian accent makes it sound like a little kid, who just learn how
Because you can hear every letter in “fuck” and the “ck” is staccato and crisp
People trickle in, people trickle out
Barbeque lights up
Lamb, sausage and ribs for all
People keep touching my hair and I don’t feel it.
Played ‘drinking bingo’ get 9 dots and don’t win.
Don’t care, so much fun.
TFG and I walk to bus stop
My friend lied, buses stopped running hours ago
We are stuck in the middle of nowhere
Costs five dollars to get in the cab
Sixteen to get home
Cabbie is sweet, shuts of meter half a kilometer from home
Manage to take off eye make up before passing out.
Deal with the hair in the morning.


It took 3 conditioner treatments and a shampoo before I could feel the water on my scalp, and there are still sections with birds-nest-like knots. spend the morning nursing a mild hangover, watching "paths of glory". The life of a film master's girlfriend, gotta love it.

I thought you bought a car?

Blogger Loz said...

are you suggesting our Kittys should drink and drive????

i hope no one ends up crying or imagining physical violence when i say this, but we have an ad campaign over here that goes a little something like: "Drink drive, bloody idiot."

Less widely known, "Don't drink Drive. It's detergent."

Brooke- please don't hate me.

where there be photographic evidence of this event?

Blogger Knitty Kitty said...

there were several pictures taken.... I'm not sure I want to open myself to that ridicule.

Has no one ever heard of a designated driver?

Blogger Knitty Kitty said...

have you heard of a designated driver, nick?

Blogger Loz said...

but in order to be the designated dave you have to not drink. if LMK and TFG wanted to drink they couldn't very well take their own car anyhow. i don't know why you are so opposed to the use of a taxi? it's a reasonable way to get around town.

blergy.

thanks to the beauty of photoshop, I give you my "bad hair"

Blogger Tumbleweed said...

Please open yourself to ridicule, I would love to see the pics. I promise to say something so nice it will overpower all the mean things Nick could say.
I can send you some hair spray if you need me to! Aquanet is very scary.

Blogger Tumbleweed said...

Okay, I should really learn to read comments before I comment myself. Just saw the picture....very cool!!

Blogger Fella said...

There's no need to attack me, I was just presenting options. It's a well documented fact that I am a god damn idiot, you don't need to present any more evidence.

Your hair is messed up, also there is a pink boob next to you.

Blogger Fella said...
