Not so perfect anymore

As you can see i have a massive kankle. It is without a doubt the most pain I've ever been in. I went up for a massive header at soccer and came down on the side of my foot and an audible crack. Even the ref heard it. After multiple profanities i had to be 'stretchered' off, but 'cos we only had four players to start we had to forfeit if I couldn't go on. I had to lay down on the bench even. My ears were ringing with that floaty pre pass- out buzz and then I felt like I was going to throw up. Gee was it bad. Now is not a good time to not be able to walk either, or dance for that matter. Big party for eri's going away on Saturday, everyone's invited, and then on to a plane on Wednesday for a holiday in Sydney. I'm sure that will play havoc on the old inflamation.

Add to that the fact that now I'm homw alone, no Passions to keep me company, that bloody heartbeat, no mobile reception, still have to sort that one out, no calls to mobiles from one home phone, no anything from the other and it doesn't make for a very pleasant day so far. It will definitely be a good weekend though. Warm days, no work( unexpectedly), partying it up on Saturday and then two footy grannies at Whitten oval starting 8.30 Sunday. Should be a ripper!

I'm finding it more and more ridiculous how out of control I can get myself without too much effort. I don't know what happens to me every now and then, but I can go through extended periods of hermitude, remaining very conservative and controlled and then- BAM! I'm off and nothing can stop me. I guess it's got a lot to do with work. When I'm busy I knuckle down and can't afford to spend any time doing anything but the project at hand and as soon as that's responsibility is gone it's ON. Needless to say I'm on a bit of a rampage at the moment, but don't expect it to last too long.

Yay dress ups! 

Hmmm

I my new regime of drinking often and in excess i set Myself a new benchmark on Saturday - twelve hours straight. Gee I'm a bogan aren't I. That was a rhetorical question. I didn't want you to answer it! I caught up with Ev at the pub for a few beer about 3ish. I must not have seen him for a really long time 'cos he commented on my hair colour and it's been the same for a while now, hasn't it? Then Pete joined us and then Liz and Tars and then just Liz and I -the stayers. So off we went to the bottle shop to pick up a slab and some of those premixed shots business. Man they were bad, but my sister drank one so they must be for the kids.
Then we started going throught the dress ups for the circus party Heath had been kind enough to invite me to, and I in turn invited Liz. So Heath and B came over to access my vast array of costumes and we spent the next few hours getting ready and waiting for Lachie and Len to come pick us up. Gee we looked great by the time we got there. And yes I was dressed as the girl who rides the ponies. Thanks for noticing. So we spent the evening drinking and dancing and fighting- you may or may not remember that Elizabeth- and finished off some time after three. And then spent the next day watching Viva La Bam and generally not thinking too much. Next Saturday is out tot he Corner for TZU an The Vascoe Era so it will probably happen again, and then next week I'm off to Sydney. I hope I'm still alive for my birthday. By the way 1st and 2nd of October at the Prom, theme to be decided, BE THERE!

First stop in the inaugrual damming trip was that old favourite- Sugarloaf Reservoir. That's right, the place of picnics and sailboats and a freezing cold, icy wind blowing in from the hills. Interesting fact to note about this dam, that it is pumped from both the Yarra river and the Maroondah aqueduct. There are also curious little concrete box thingys on the wall of the dam.  

I'm not sure if you're aware, but Elizabeth and I are now certified damologists. The weekend found us begin our new mission in life- to visit every dam of the Melbourne water catchment. There are the big ones you all know and love of course, but we want to get to know the less prolific, yet no less crucial, dams of our city also. The trips may be sporadic, but if you are intereste din joining us on our quest let us know and we can include you in our adventure alerts. 

If I get drunk tonight please don't let me near my phone.
