Helen!

Yay! Helen's here!
She arrived last Wednesday, and I've seen her most days since her arrival. It's wonderful to see here again, and Ivan too. Unfortunately Ivan leaves next Friday, but at least we got to see him, and at least the others got to meet him/he met the others. Champ that guy.
So, what have we been up to? Drinking mainly. Alot of drinking. Mainly the city, but we have also drank at the Greengate and at North Sydney too. We were meant to go to the Russian restaurant on Saturday night, but apparently it's really busy, and we need to book ahead, so we're doing it in a few weeks time instead.
Bummed today. I had a driving lesson at 12:15pm, and was relying on Mum coming down from the Hunter to give me a lift to her work at Botany (where the driving lesson would be held), but she found more important things to do, and I'm still waiting at Jon's for her to pick me up - despite it now being 12:50pm. So obviously I've missed the driving lesson (at least Michael Boardman gave me one on Saturday), and I wanted to go to the Blue Mountains with Linden, Helen and Ivan today too, but didn't because of the driving lesson. Sucks. Well, I suppose I couldn't have really gone anyway because I'm flat fucking broke. Actually, I already owe both Jon and Helen $20 each. So, instead, I'm going in to Mum's work. Maybe there's a job I can do, and earn some money. Doubt it. What I am going to do though, is gind out what the fuck is happening with my Uncle replacing the stolen goods. I hope he wasn't bullshitting me; it's beginning to seem that way.
Oh, speaking of the stolen goods, I found out today that Rockbox for the iriver H340 has finally optimised battery life. A standard battery now gives up to 20 hours - and less than a week before mine was stolen I'd put in a high capacity battery. So that really sucks. I want an H340 again; they're better than a stinkin ipod. The only bummer is that if I were to replace my iriver, I would also have to purchase a 60GB HDD for it, as my last one was full. So that's why I'm getting an ipod instead - cheaper. Sucks. I want my H340.

Ooh, forgot to say. On Friday was the MC Lars, TZU and Butterfingers concert, and it kicked solid fucking arse! I bought an MC Lars T-Shirt, and his CD, and got the CD signed! Sweet! He was a dude!
TZU went fucking off (they owned the crowd), and did some mad freestyling/improv. I'd looove to see them again.
And Butterfingers were totally kickass. Great fun. And the Ska songs that appear on their latest album kicked fucken arse too! A great concert!
Went out for some drinks afterward, but couldn't afford much. We ended up getting home at 4:30am because of having to wait for the bus for an hour or so. Stoopid nightrider.
The next day was my driving lesson with Boardman, and the planned Russian dinner.
Instead of going to Russian we (Helen, Ivan, Ross, Jana, Jon, Boggle and I) went to a pub in North Sydney were we used to go to when Helen lived nearby. Ah, the memories.
I'd run out of money the night before, so I didn't drink much, so we didn't stay out late. But it was an enjoyable night.
I spent yesterday and last night bummin' around at Jon's, and in fact, that's what I'm still doing (although Jon is at work).
You know, I think that's it.
Until next time!
