I’m leaving Melbourne for Sydney tomorrow afternoon. I was intending to leave on Monday however unfortunately my grandfather died yesterday and I need to leave earlier to attend the funeral.

My granddad was a great bloke. He worked for the health department and was part of the team that brought in medicare. He always supported my tomboyish side when I was a kid and took me on expeditions up cliffs when I was 7 (much to the horror of my mother). He also taught me carpentry and took me caving (one of his main hobbies). Unfortunately he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease when he was around 70 and was soon unable to follow his previous hobbies, but he always regaled us with entertaining stories about his childhood. He died peacefully at around 9.30am on Friday after two weeks of ill health.

I’m going to try to get some interesting footage while my girlfriends and I are about town and getting up to mischief and I’ll post anything of interest 🙂

I may not have regular access to the internet (my mother wont get adsl because its ‘too hard’) but I’ll try to blog as much as possible and I’ll post up any vids when I get back.

Does anyone know anywhere in melbourne that can copy old VHS videos onto dvd? I have a couple of old performance vids from year 12 that I don’t want to disintergrate into nothing and I dont even have a VCR.

judging by this post by Urbaer anyway:

I’m sure Cam will post the video, the conversation went from “What event in the 90’s instigated an increase in bi-sexaulity in females” to somewhere very far away from that… well probably not too far away from that. Did you know that Sydney private schools do plays that involve nurses pole dancing and simulated sex?

Me and my big mouth…. Oops 🙂

Also

And I also met Miriam who… probably did mean what she promised

Errm… What did I promise exactly?? I was pretty sure I made a point of not making any promises and just giving vague maybes…

For the record… I wasnt as drunk as I looked… no really 🙂 Just drunk enough to be me in front of a whole bunch of strangers.

I have an idea for a show… get a bunch of girls together, feed them alcohol and then ask them to confirm or deny various male rumours about girls.
It has the added bonus that there’s a reasonable chance of some girl on girl action happening every now and again.

Hmm maybe I should do some filming during my trip to sydney next week… could be interesting.

Well last night I posted a rather intoxicated report on the TPN Dinner and I promised to post something else today… So…

I was really nervous when I arrived because meeting a large group of strangers scares me a little… As did Cam… Nah actually he’s not that much more crazy than me I’m just better at hiding the crazy when I first meet people. You have to lull them into a false sense of security first see 🙂

I pretty much don’t drink being that I’m too busy panicking over the work that I should have been doing when I was reorganising my pens and checking my email to go out most nights… That and the fact that I’m an impoverished student living with someone who isn’t accustomed to eating two minute noodles to pay for the alcohol supply.

Anyway

The upshot of this is that the sake Cam insisted we all drink hit me like a slice of lemon wrapped around a gold brick and I sort of turned into…. me… except without the crazy filter. So anyone who was there got to see the me my friends see… Hooray for you!

So the general consensus was that the evening was highly amusing and I will definitely be attending any future TPN events that I can…

And about that whole gimp mask vidcast thingy….. Maybe… If I’m in a really brave mood.
