ok,
well i guess you are all waiting with baited
breath to find out what is happening with ty and
myself... well you are going to have to wait a
few paragraphs more, because i want mention some
other stuff first. :P
first of all, uni is certainly back. i had 3
assignments, a 40 page lab report and a 25% exam
all to do this week! and it is only week 4! ouch!
i somehow wrote the entire lab report in two days
and i think i may hvae gotten close to 100% in
the exam. infact, i will be pissed if i didn't
get 100% - it was so easy!
the best part is that my exam was at 11am
thursday morning, and i saw coldplay with jen and jeanette the night
before in sydney.
i excitedly met with jen at central station on
wednesday night, and my grandmother picked us up
and took us to her place in bondi. after
exchanging pressies (i gave jen the coldplay blue
room ep, and she gave me a gorgeous little
japanese purse) we made our way to fox studios
for the gig.
after a little confusion we found jeanette and
her friend amy at the bayswiss. eventually, we
made our way to the hordern pavillion in time for
coldplay to come on. we had decided that we
really didn't think seeing the support act -
alternative boi band zed - was on our list of
priorities.
so we got inside, and pushed our way as close to
the front as we could. a few minutes later
coldplay came on stage and opened with shiver.
the whole gig was fantastic. chris talked to the
crowd a lot and was in a great mood. the new
songs are much darker and rockier than the
parachutes material. at one point, chris rang the
band's manager from the stage and got us all to
scream as loud as we could. he then dedicated
'see you soon' to him. we were also treated to a
little rendition of the sydney swans club song,
and a few lines from powderfinger's 'my
happiness' at the end of 'yellow'. there is no
doubting the man has charisma. and i love the
little twirls he does while playing guitar. cute.
perhaps the biggest highlight for me was chris'
version of the hank williams classic 'lost
highway.' this is a song that jeff buckley covered a number of
times, so jeanette and i went suitably crazy when
we realised what the song was. chris' rendition
of the song was closer to the original than the
jeff version, so the people around us must have
thought we were mental country music boffins.
after the gig, jen and i caught a taxi back to
bondi with an overly inquisitive taxi driver. the
next morning we had to be up at 6am so that i
could be at the train station in time to catch a
train back to newcastle for my maths exam. it is
really cold at six in the morning. i got no
study done on the train as i kept falling asleep,
but i made it to my exam in time and kicked arse
in it!

thursday
night was something for kate at the bar on the hill
at uni. i was a little nervous as i knew ty was
going to be there and i was still curious as to
why he didn't talk to me on monday.
once we arrived i went to the bar for a beer. i
kept drinking beer during gota cola and the
crooked fingers' sets. beer is so good for
calming the nerves.
after blowing on belinda's breasts (don't ask), i
got to talking to a guy i know who is a huuuuuuge
mike patton fan (btw, if anyone copied the mike
patton j-files on thursday night and is
able to send me a copy, i will love you forever)
and who is also going to see fantomas on saturday
night. it was while i was talking to him that i
saw ty.
ty was on his way to the bar, when he walked past
me and put his arm around me. i excused myself
from my current conversation, and the first
thing ty said to me was "ooh by the way i
wasn't ignoring you on monday when i saw
you." (see, this is why i am paranoid he may
know of this website) it turns out the girl he
sat with was a friend he had not seen for a very
long time. i was all *plays it cool* "oooh
no, that's ok. i had to leave a few minutes later
anyway, that's why i didn't go over to talk to
you." lol.
so, after talking about what we had been up to
during the week, and he telling me it is going to
cost him $25 to get his hunt pics reprinted, he continued to
the bar to get his friends' drinks. as he left he
slid the fingers on his left hand through mine
and said he would talk to me later.
but i didn't see him again that night, as not
long after he went to the bar, i went inside to
get a spot for something for kate. i had a quick
look around for him after the gig, but my friends
were pretty keen to leave, so i never found him.
so, on friday night i decided to grab the bull by
the horns and do something about this situation.
i emailed him.
my excuse for emailing ty was to send him scans
of the photos his team took on the hunt. after
explaining why i was sending his the photos, i
ensured he knew the real reason for me writing:
ok, now for the
real reason i'm writing....
i'm disappointed i didn't see you again at
something for kate - you still owe me that
drink. hehe. also, i wanted to ask you for
your phone number. i know it's not likely
that we will see each other around uni much,
and i would really like to get to know you a
little better. i know i certainly wouldn't
mind a repeat of last thursday night after
you am i, either.
so, if you are interested, here is my number:
04** *** ***
if you want to get together sometime, feel
free to ring me.
hope to hear from you soon,
kate
i
made sure i replaced my regular email signature
(a link to this website) with something a little
more appropriate:
"I may be
young but I know when I'm aroused" -
Muse
thanks
for that one nicky c.
so there you go, the ball is now in his court. i
just hope the guy checks his uni email account.
now when i see him i am going to be thinking
"omg, has he checked his email?!" but
at least it is all out on the table now. i would
much prefer him to tell me he isn't interested
than to let this all slowly die out and to always
wonder what could have been.
i really hope he is keen though. i want to kiss
that boi some more. *yum*
my
friend jb rang me from melbourne on friday night.
i had not spoken to him in a long time as he has
moved out of home again and now has no internet
access.
it was 1.45am and i had just jumped into my warm
bed, when my mobile started to ring *enters freak
out mode as i had just sent ty that email* lol.
but then i realised the number was a melbourne
one.
i heard this guy at the other end say "hi? kate?"
and i was all like *what the fuck? who is ringing
me at 2am??* "yeah?" and he replied
"it's jb, i'm drunk and it seemed like a
good idea to call you." hehe. so we chatted
for about 45 minutes. talking to jb always seems
to put me in a great mood. the guy is a such
funny bastard. he told me he is going to give me
a guitar lesson when i see him next month when i
go to melbourne. i told him he can't force me to
play. i get all self conscious when people try to
get me to play guitar, cuz i have absolutely no
idea. but the guy is a guitar teacher, so it
couldn't be too daunting.

my
boss gave me white roses yesterday. we got store
of the month again. how awesome are we?!?! i
could get used to this people buying me flowers
thing. this is the second bunch of flowers i have
received from work in the past month or so. but
in saying that, i have still yet to experience
the pleasure of a boi buying me flowers. what
happened to all the romantics?
i
saw something for kate again last night. these
guys really are the best band in australia at the
moment. i simply cannot envisage them getting any
better than they currently are. it's so
frustrating to see a band who deserves to be
recognised worldwide, confined to just australia.
although, in a selfish way, i am also kinda glad
they haven't been acknowledged by the rest of the
world, as it means i get to see them a few times
each year.
i personally believe that australia produces the
best music in the world for it's population. i
think this stems from how hard bands in this
country have to work in order to get a little
recognition. we have so many brilliant bands that
could so easily compete with the bigger british
and american acts. i can't begin to imagine how
frustrating it must be for them.
oh, and for those interested, pip is growing the
rock mullet back. too cool.
