Chocolate Sundaes

I went out last night with a girl I met a few days ago, Caitlin. T and I are getting very good at collecting people's phone numbers between us. Caitlin is cool; she's from Tassie - Launceston (boo-hiss). We seem to be spending a lot of time with Tas people given we're 'on the mainland'. So first we went to the Uni magazine party, but it was a bit rubbish cause everyone knew each other and we bought expensive beer (no beer hoi, that's for sure). So then we toddled off to the Law party (neither of us are doing law) which was kinda cool because everyone was dancing and there weren't that many people there and very few were actually law students. Next we went to the Arts party which was average. I should have been tipped off by the fact the place advertised itself as playing the best in house and commercial rnb. Commercial is nothing to brag about. There were hardly any actual uni people there. It was very much a poor man's New Century but lacking in hookers, boys who think you're cool coz you're western and sadly, Vinaway Girls. Then we had ice creams from McDonalds and toddled off home, it was a fun night.

I'm very excited about uni starting (I know, I'll get over it in the first week) but I have my Readers and reinforced lined paper ready to go. I signed up for a few clubs yesterday: UNICEF, Arts and the Debating society. I was going to sign up for Greens on Campus but I couldn't find them. I wasn’t sure about whether to sign up for Amnesty or UNICEF but as I heart the UN UNICEF won out, even though I would have got a bag from Amnesty. The ALP club had these really cool bags with pictures of Kevin Rudd that looked like Tintin. They were very cute, but a) I didn't want to join the ALP and b) I don't even like Rudd that much (he is however better than the alternative). Speaking of the alternative, there were Liberals there too which was quite disturbing. They actually looked like normal, happy people but were holding large posters with John Howard’s face of them which was obviously greatly disturbing. The other alternative appears to be the Socialist Alternative and they have about a thousand stalls. They really annoy me because they say things that anyone could agree with, for example: "Troops out of Iraq", "Free David Hicks" and my favourite "End Slow Trains" and ignore the fact they're SOCIALISTS, which is really very different, I can easily agree with those statements and not be a socialist. No offence to the lovely socialist I know.

So, you want to know about my date? It was a bit average. I mean, it was fine - I just don't think we have much in common. I'm not sure though maybe it's just because both of us were a bit nervous? Or maybe I set my standards too high? He hasn't messaged me again yet and I'm kind of hoping he won’t. We ended up seeing Music and Lyrics which was greatly amusing but, you know, crap. Hugh Grant's jokes are sounding more and more like dad jokes. Drew Barrymore was lovely though.
