Wasteroo:
we don't really get those around here so unfortunately I can't try and upstage you

Patrick:
I have a history of sleeping through earthquakes. Bow to me, children.

Also, my psychiatrist switched my meds. Old and busted: Prozac. New hotness: Paxil. Apparently Paxil is supposed to not amplify your pre-existing anxiety. Cool!

Eris:
It was a workmate's birthday yesterday, so after work we met back up and went out drinking. I went to a club right near a backpackers hostel-thing. It was full of angry bogans, tourists, and our one group of crazy Egyptian boys.

They played:
- Summer of '69
- Barbie Girl
- Spice Girls
- The Grease Megamix
- Essentially all the terrible music from the 90's that I loved as a teenager.

I was made to do a shot of sambucca by one of the Egyptians who I met about an hour earlier (I hate aniseed, so I think I got through half the shot before I put it down). I got told by a guy from Alberta that I look like I should be in a library. He then justified it by saying it he thought it was because of my bag. I went to buy a drink and got stuck behind two people who got their drinks then decided to make out at the bar. At one point they just wagged their tongues at each other. One of the Egyptians is in love with the other girl who came along, and once he got drunk enough he kept trying to kiss her. At 2am the boys decided it was time to go, and we went home. I told ben all this when I got home and he doesn't remember any of it.

It actually ended up being a good night! I forgot how creepy dudes can be when you're out, though. The girls behind the bar were really nice, too, and they would have to deal with so much shit so we gave them big tips when we bought drinks. It reminded me that I miss going out and getting drunk and dancing.

look out! Ninjas!:
I spent all yesterday volunteering at JusticeNet, which is a tiny little operation in Adelaide that helps people get pro bono legal representation if they can't afford it but don't fall within the (understandably) strict requirements for other legal services. It is a really good thing. I answered a couple of calls and tried to help some people out and reviewed files and generally felt really good about what I was doing. It was actually kind of fun too, not the listening to people's problems so much but the working environment was pretty good for being run out of a shoebox and there's that warm 'I'm trying to make a difference feeling'.
Hopefully that'll run me through the rest of Spring and Summer, until I go back to uni again for one last year.

Patrick:
Okay yeah Prozac definitely is not cool, had my first-ever panic attack today. Good timing on being switched.
