canadanian invasion

this was the highlight of my week...(and i'm going to try and add as much brit slang as possible)

so at this bbq i went to last weekend with val & chris there was this bloke who apparently fancied me so sofian & harriet (the bbq hosts) invited me out with their crew last night. we started off having a few jars at the albert docks. i know that i'm being "set up" at this point, but i think they might think that i don't know. anyway, everyone is being very polite about it all.

so the bloke - also called chris, i swear every guy i meet in this country seems to be called chris or rich - sits down next to me and this is the beginnings of our conversation:

"i met one of your fellow countrymen today."

"oh yeah? i'm sure i must know him...canada being such a small country and all."

"well, i took his picture, hang on just let me get my mobile out."

...waiting...

and here is the highlight: it was picture of MIKE MYERS! mike myers....he's been haunting the starbucks on castle street for the past week. i knew his mum was from liverpool, but VERY cool...and a very good way to impress a canadanian girl.

probably shouldn't have gone out last night seeing as i haven't been feeling well and all, but i did need to get out of this house. it was good times, but i do have to confess to val that they did drag me into the blue angel. after hearing all of the horror stories it wasn't too bad as it was quiet and not too crowded. i can't believe they have blue slushies spiked with vodka. brilliant.

i also have to admit that i have indulged in one guilty pleasure everyday...beverly hills 90210 reruns at 2 pm on sky one. painfully addictive, but oh so wonderful.

The BLUE ANGEL? Lauren, I'm shocked! Did you're feet stick to the floor? Did "Val" the toothless, hunchback dinner lady take your money at the door?
Glad to hear you had a great time. Will you be going out with this lot again.... or maybe just with Chris....? :-)

Val

weird. deleted all the spam anonymous posts...don't like that.

no, my feet did not stick to the floor surprisingly, i didn't give any money to a lady at the door (whoops! guess somebody paid for me), but someone did buy me this really rank drink that was oveerly sweet. i'm telling you, bring on the slushy spiked with vodka!

yes j9, chris is cute...but more importantly TALL. i'm sure i'll be seeing this lot again...if they do go camping this weekend they've invited me to tag along.
