I only have ten days left of getting up at 5am. Thank GOD!!!! Last night I saw Breaking Dawn (meh. But the last 40min?? YES!!!!!!) and ate too much popcorn. For dinner :/ soooo when I tried to go to bed (aim for 8:30pm, but due to fb and txts/calls, was actually 9:30) I heard this alarm sound. I thought it was coming from Victoria Market, then I heard fire trucks so I though I should check I out for photo's sake, and that's when Romany (Tony's flatmate) turned on the light downstairs. It was the fire alarm for the building! She had never heard it up on the tenth floor before, and it kinda smelled like smoke in the hallway, so I grabbed my passport, phones, and we took the stairs to the lobby. Everything was ok (there was smoke on the 8th floor hallway) and we were about to take the elevator back up, but there were 84 teenagers in there! They were mucking around and I finally got fed up (cranky, ill geneviève is NOT someone to mess with!!!!). The exchange went like this:
*teenage girls in elevator teasing three boys outside elevator for starting the 'fire'. Teenage boys will not let the door close.
G: ok I've had it! I've had enough *presses door close*
*teenage girl babbling*
T #1: what's on the 10th floor?
G: that's where I live. I'm going back to bed.
T#1: oh ok. Sorry I didn't know there was anyone else in the lift.
G: yah people actually live in this building, it's not just a hotel.
T#2: sorry
G: ok. Enjoy your schoolies! (said sarcastically. Schoolies is the time when you've finished high school. Generally a big party-time, it involves going to another city/country (lots of them going to Bali this time of year, on their parents dime!!!!) and generally being douchy).
T#1: oh we're not Schoolies! There's a huge volleyball tournament there are likes hundred volleyball players in town this week
*at this point they are at their destination, the 3rd floor*
G: ok (DON'T CARE!!!!! GTFO!!!!!!!!)
*as all twelve girls exit the elevator they throw feeble 'sorries' my way
Romany tells me I'm awesome.
What else? OH YAH I took my first helicopter ride EVER this past Sunday.....over the 12 Apostles!!! Totally worth the $75 :) I will give an in-depth analysis of my tour of the Great Ocean Road later. Hopefully friday but I never know. Tony comes back Saturday so I have to pack all my stuff. Dunno if he will me me stay for my final week or if I will be in a hostel.
Oh snap something else happened! On Saturday, during my usual "vodka tonic sample?" schpeel, I was turned down by Kylie Minogue!!! I started off by asking the guy on her left (closest to me) and as I moved my eye contact to her, she looked right at me and laughed!!! Exciting!!!!! She is tiny, though. Bitch looks good for 45 ;)
Besides that, not too eventful. Been speaking with Joe, who I met through Tony. Joel's going back to London for the holidays, but he'll be showing me around Perth before he goes. I'm excited for the beaches. And skyping with whoever possible on Christmas. Book me now, kids!!!!
David Beckham came through on Wednesday. What. A. Good. Looking. MAN!!!! Too bad all of that is shot once he opens his mouth ;) he laughed and said no when I offered him a VT...but at least he looked at me!!!!! :D
Today is Friday, December 9th. It is 5:15am. Not too much else going on here, getting excited to leave next week. Tony's back tomorrow, so fingers crossed he lets me stay here for my last week !!!!
Love you all. Has anyone else noticed how awesome my father is???? HE COMMENTS ON ALL MY BLOG POSTS!!!!!!!!!!! Also, he's generally awesome, since he is newly retired. Not that he wasn't awesome when he was gainfully employed, but now he's awesommmmmmer ;)
Daddy- I saw a guy wearing a shirt yesterday that said 'I'm retired, do it yourself' and I literally laughed out loud. I need to find that shirt for you.
Xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Dearest daughter,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're safe and sound after your elevator ordeal. I guess I'll have to replace my "Life's a bit*h and then you die" favorite in my repertoire with ..."and then you meet one in an elevator"! En français on les appelle "COLON" and I guess it does not lose too much in the anatomy translation!
I concur, fully, wholeheartedly - She looks damn good at 45. ------------------ Sorry about the small delay. That last slap aimed at the back of the head missed me by "that much"..
As for your comments about your dad, what can I say? (You're soooo right). Not looking to drain your dad of some of his retirement $, are you? Just kidding! All I can say is "So few posts, so much time".
Would love to get that retired shirt. Better still, if you can find one that says "I'm in the 4W Club", please buy it for me - will pay you back. In the meantime, stay safe.
Oh, forgot - 4W stands for "Why Worry, Wife Working! (and no, I could NOT avoid that last slap..(Also just kidding).
XXOO
I hear you with the teenagers. Sigh.
