When did I become such social butterfly?

[rdm_ation]

I can feel it already, this is going to be a scatterbrained entry.

A lot and nothing seems to have happened since I last posted, which is a weird feeling. I worked out that every single day this week I've gone out twice, and this will continue until I go away for a few days next week. I'm pretty tired right now, but my brain is still racing.

After I posted on Monday, I went to work - and the pharmacist's brother brought in their new puppy. And my god it was the cutest thing. Tiny, confused, sleepy maltese shitzu puppy, with gorgeous chocolate brown fur. I swear, everyone in the store just melted into a puddle and cooed over him. <3
To borrow a phrase from with_rainfall  - 'even fish people couldn't help falling in love with him'. He was adorable.

 Yesterday it was work, work, and more work. I worked 9-5 (and it was slow and boring) came home and ate dinner and chilled for a while with the internet and copious videos and photos of the Golden Globes (okay the cast of Glee at the Golden Globes, who else?) before heading back to work to help Dad with some stock he was transferring in. So all up, 11 hours at the pharmacy. I was pretty dead by the end of the day.

But yes. Some of the photos and videos from the Golden Globes made me laugh so much. Especially ones that featured Darren Criss either being an unashamed fanboy, playing off Chord Overstreet and making vaguely suss jokes, or posing ridiculously. 
These are probably my favourites.

I also maintain that Chris Colfer's speech was the best award acceptance speech I have ever heard. <3
Today was pretty insane, actually. I got up at a reasonable hour (9=8am, it's reasonable...) and headed into the city to meet up with Ame who I hadn't seen for a month. We got iced chocolates from the Lindt cafe, and then it was a journey filled with awesome music and chatter so I could be shown around the music school. Who I am now an official employee of. I felt bad that our day that we'd had planned for a couple of weeks turned into dragging her around while I ran an errand, but I guess it couldn't be helped. Next time we will actually do something more fun, I promise!

We then dashed back to my place, I got changed, and headed back to the city. Ame caught her train just in time, and then I had a couple of hours to kill before I had to be anywhere. This is always dangerous when I can access money. I spent a little under $100 - pretty dress I had been eyeing off for a little while, cute purse to take with me when I go out and only want to take a little bag, and then two cds from jb-hifi. I should never go into that store when I have time to kill. Ever. I bought another Jezabels cd, and the Tangled soundtrack. That was me having self-restraint, which is the scary thing.

After that I met up with snuggle_monster , thalia03  and H to go to a short film night being held as a fundraiser for the show snuggle_monster is in in the Adelaide Fringe Festival in about a month. We were then joined by pebblegosling  after an impromptu invitation was issued once we realised the bar where it was being held was pretty much across the road from where she lives...

I won't say too much about the films themselves, they were all made by students of my university as far as I know, and while all were beautifully shot I was often left wondering 'where is the plot/uhh what the?' It was kind of driving me crazy. (sahhh indie *is shot*) There were a couple I particularly liked though, one called 'Sir Pun' which was based on the man who 'invented' the pun - full to the brim with puns so bad they were painful, and so painfully bad that they were amazing. Brilliant. I also liked this one called 'Wrong Box' that was a story about a man's date as it occurred, but also about what he imagined to be happening - but it would gradually change from reality to his imagination without being signposted until it got really awkward. It was really clever and funny.

That last short film I described lead to a pretty amusing moment, actually. Four of us all simultaneously made the awkward turtle hand gesture, which lead H to exclaim 'what on earth are you all doing?!' ... so funny. I tend to forget that it's not exactly a universal gesture. Tehehe. Mainly because it's commonly used among my friends.

The hilarious moments kept on coming. I'm not sure that H was entirely prepared for the craziness that occurs when you put all of us in a group. You know it's insane when I'm the 'safe, normal' one to sit next to. At one point, we were talking about projectile vomiting, and then I zoned out for a moment and H was talking to the people next to him about an ethics class they did or something. Ah the contrast.

More snapshots and epic calls:

I love reverting to highschool in-jokes with pebblegosling and confusing the hell out of everyone else. H made a comment about something being 'borderline' and we just sparked off with a non-intelligent stream of 'look, it's borderline innappropriate' and such. 

We also spent an indecent amount of time 'analysing' the DVD logo bouncing around the screen. With straight faces, of course. Saaahh indie.

At one point snuggle_monster had just rejoined our conversation and simply said 'soooo'
pebblegosling: a needle pulling thread?
me: *chuckles* ... *high five*
snuggle_monster: what?
pebblegosling: *turns away* nothing...
H: just hanging
me: by a thread? *snickers*
... yeah. we're too cool for our own good. 

We then took over a Nandos and essentially made them stay open while a couple of us ate, tried extra hot sauce (that apparently wasn't that hot), and generally made a scene. We certainly can be obnoxious when we want to be.

Yeah, this was supposed to be short. XD
Time for bed now.

Tehehe. Essentially mocking the label of 'indie kid' comes from 'individual' but is ridiculously ironic now because it's a label.

Ahem. Maybe. Shut up.
