A Ball and some more butt kicking!!!

Last night, Ty, Kim and I headed off to the Melbourne Uni- A&A ball. Since nothing much happened at uni, i will just get straight into writing about the night.

We decided we would all meet at Ty's to get ready. I arrived at about 430pm, and ty and kim were just sitting around when i got there. I actually got Ty confused with her brother for a moment there too (they sound similar, haha). By 6pm we were all ready to go, but had to wait for the taxi...so we watched the end of the simpsons (the episode where Santa's Little Helper needs surgery for a twisted stomach and, "porkchop night, is now chubb night") and the start of neighbours (ty was missing out heaps on the whole crazy blind girl saga). So the taxi finally arrived and the driver didnt really have a clue where we were going, so the Melway queen kim, pulled out his one and was navigating him. We get to the Palladium Ballroom at aroung 7pm, and the security guy was being an arse because i didnt bring my Keypass with me...but he let me in. I think the first impression i got was, "whats with the need for all the pictures" and after the guy said for like the 10th time for everyone to sit down at their tables, my second thought was, "SERIOUSLY WHAT IS THE NEED FOR ALL THESE GOD DAMN PHOTOS, YOU HAVE THE WHOLE FRIGGIN NIGHT!!!). so after everyone had sat down, we got our our 1st course (smallest portion of risotto ever!) and then there was this pointless short movie made by the union, and it was Romio and Juliet - asian style (so with drag racing, and spikey hair) there next to dishes were so crap i wont even bother with it...but we did see Ruby and co. and yeah, nothing much to say there (however they all looked very nice), kim had her "thing" so that was probably the most entertainment of the night...and my camera ran out of battary, however trust me...your not missing out on much.

I did manage though to take a picture of the lantern which was on the table, I think that is a good indication of the overall night. It was really terrible...mainly because we didnt know anyone, and noone was dancing (they all congregated on the dance floor but were literally just standing there), or they were outside having a smoke. so at about 10.30 we decided to leave, and i was going to take the girls to a bar in the city (thursday nights are great!!) but when we were walking past the cinema, we figured a mindless movie would be a really good idea, so "John Tucker must die" was the perfect movie...it was really quick, pretty funny, no thinking involved, and a happy ending!! awww

after the movie we taxied back to ty's, had some pizza, and started watching, "Date Movie"...i thought it was crap, so i fell asleep, but kim was saying this morning, when she realised she was the only one laughing at the movie, that she had better turn it off, hahaha!

This morning we headed out for breakfast at the pancake parlour, and ran into Lin (i probably shouldnt have told him that we had seen him and not said anything) and then ty went off to work, while kim and I went and played chess again (I finally won a game)...we also ran into Mark, and kim couldnt get the "visuals" out of her head, but back to the chess, there are always annoying people who just come and watch...but today we had this old man, and he was helpful and yet annoying (he would do that sucking in air thing when you did a bad move)..but he went away when this 15yr old asked if he wanted to play. After about the third game we were tired, but because kim hadnt gone to school she couldnt go home, but we came up with a good excuse if her dad asked why she was early...i just found out he didnt even care, so all that for nothing.

and that was pretty much the ball last night and my day today....in a nutshell, i wouldnt recommend going to a uni ball, esecially when it isnt your uni and you know noone...however it was a good night with kim and ty YAY!!

Love me X
