…and stuff…

 So if you’re still paying attention, you may have noticed that I haven’t written a post in a very long time. This is because my browser crashed and I lost all my saved passwords so I couldn’t log on automatically. I have only just discovered that the password was emailed to my old internet account, which I never check.

So, a brief outline of what’s been going on in my world, highlights and lowlights.

I’ve been going out on the weekends, without Ben. He hasn’t made contact since returning from Cairns and everytime that I have he’s been to busy so I guess he’s just not that into me. Time to move on. One time, while walking home from a big night out, I was crossing the Story Bridge. Low and behold there was this guy trying to climb over the fence to jump so I talked him down.

Work is still work, only I’m getting next to no hours so I think I’m going to have to find a new job. I’ve been keeping in contact with Luke, Jasper is running the place into ground as usual. If he doesn’t get rid of Jasper I fear that the place will close after Christmas. Everytime I go into the cafe it pisses Jasper off no end, he slams doors and gets all shitty. I love it. Luke has also asked if he can put me on as a casual staff member when Jasper isn’t working, which Jasperfound very threatening. Or at least that’s what I assume from the fact that he’s been going about spreading lies (thank you for your concern, but no, I am not a drug addict).
It’s my birthday next week, so I’m planning to go to dinner at the restaurant with some friends, have the degustation, get drunk and go out or something.

Anyway I have to go and get ready for work, VIP late night shopping tonight so I have a late shift. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at the restaurant.

 

Ohh wow, I wrote a post?

 At the cafe there is a new waiter called Adam who started on my last week. Adam is in fact the one who held the gallery showing where I first met Ben on Thursday. Saturday Ben came into the cafe with some of his friends and we got to chatting again. During the course of this little chat we decided to go out that night to celebrate my last night at the cafe.<> We drank, we chatted, we danced. After dancing, drinking and chatting Ben tried to set me up with a guy in his fourties and left.

I left half an hour later and walked into the mall where I grabbed a burger from Hungry Jack’s. While consuming my double bacon deluxe value meal I sent Ben a text message asking who/what he thought I was to be leading me on only to try and set me up with some stranger. He sent back a message saying that I was a nice guy. I sent him a reply telling him that I was indeed a nice guy and he should give me a call when he was finished playing games.

I then proceded to walk home, but when I was out in front of the casino a man came up to me. This man was called Bill. I know Bill from when my father ran that hostel for people with disabilities because I used to help out there. Bill proceded to tell me how angry he and his girlfriend was with my father and with me but failed to mention why. He asked me for some money and being the stupid bleeding heart that I am I pulled out my wallet which he promptly snatched and ran off with. Stupid, stupid, stupid…

This morning I awoke, did all my domestic stuff that I normally do and thought that I might have over reacted slightly to Ben’s actions so I sent him a text message asking if he got home safely. He rang and we agreed to go into town for coffee where upon he apologised for the previous night. Ben had to do some banking and then was searching for an internet cafe to book the tickets for his holiday because all the travel agents were closed as it was a Sunday. I told him it wasn’t secure to enter his details onto a public computer and suggested we returned to my place where he booked them on my computer.

We played scrabble, listened to music, chatted, went into the cafe to visit Luke and Adam (studly Steven was working today so I said ‘hi’ to him too),  went back into town and had KFC followed by gelato and then Ben went home.

 

Come on and FLAUNT it

Movie night sold out again, everything sailed smoothly. Del, Steven and I kept ducking out the back like naughty children after intermission because there wasn’t much to do. Steven is going to work naked to the waist (which half I’ll let you figure out) next Saturday serving champaign for a hen’s night high tea. I will be oogling. As we were packing up Luke’s new, well, I guess it’s his BF, kept hitting me on the butt. I don’t think Luke was too impressed, I know I wasn’t.
Del and I went to the beat after work, drinking, dancing, drinking some more, dancing hardcore. I lost her half way through the night, but I found Ryan and Bryan whom I haven’t seen in some time.

I showed Del how to open a bottle of wine in the correct manner before we went out. I will write more when I am less hung over.

 

…but i feel so gay, in a melancholy way…

 I don’t really want to leave the cafe, that’s the sad thing about it. Yes, the hours are insane and the pay is crap I know but I still want to stay, yet I have to leave. Ohh well, once more into the breach.

I’m going out this weekend, despite having no money and no one to go with me. I’m not really one of those confident people who like to go out on their own, but I am determined to break my anti-social slump. I finally have some government issued photo I.D. which hopefully will mean I can now gain access to where-ever-the-bloody-hell I want! “One ticket for Gitmo bay please, one way only thankyou!”

Lately I’ve been thinking of going on a holiday, just a short trip, one week, it’s all I ask. I haven’t had a holiday in years. The closest I have come is a three day weekend, and even then I found myself doing things for others. When my holiday pay from the restaurant comes through (I’m going to visit them in person come Monday) I’m going to put that money aside and take a train to Cairns where I hope to visit a friend of mine. I had hoped to be able to go overseas at the start of next year, but financially it’s just not realistic as my parents still have yet to pay back that money I have lent them. I doubt I will ever see it again, and with Christmas fast approaching it’s highly unlikely that I will be able to save any of my meager-but-soon-to-be-even-more-meager pay.

My special table hasn’t rung up to book for “Rear Window” yet, I’m concerned that they’re just going to turn up and be disappointed because we’re full. I’d like to say hello, and of course goodbye because I hate it when people just vanish out of your life.
