On Monday, I dropped Mon at the station in the morning, and went straight back home. I went on a twitter spree where I was searching up The Maine and what people were tweeting about them. I found out that they did go out after the concert to a club, and I was kicking myself for not knowing earlier, how awesome would it be to hanging out with them, though we would stick out like a sore thumb. In the afternoon, Mon sent me a message to say that sharline and Susan were coming over to her house. I made a very spontaneous decision to come and sleep over as well. It was a public holiday so public transport was horrible. There was some time to kill in the city before my train, I walked up swanston street, up to around Bourke street to see if i could spot The Maine. It was an incredible feeling that they were in Melbourne, a very comforting one. If only i had went up a little further to Chinatown and walked past Target or something, I would of seen them eating at Dragon Boat. Anywhoo, I made my way to Mon's house and it was very awesome to see Sharline and Susan again. It has been a while since I've seen them. We basically just hung out as usual, it took Mon and I the whole night to tell them our concert story, we kept getting interrupted or distracted. We walked sharline home so she could get stuff for sleeping over and saw her adorable rabbit Peta. As usual, we pigged out at dinner, with a family feast from Nandos, giant pizza, fried rice and calamari rings, there was a lot of food. The Nandos chips were nicer than usual and very satisfying. I love the feeling every time I eat Nandos, because it's what the band guys eat, and they love it. Somehow we ended up not watching a movie, which is pretty shocking, we have never not watched a movie at Mon's place. I guess we were too distracted. Mon has this massive blanket, and i got the idea that we should all take a photo underneath it like the grandparents in Willy Wonka. In execution, the photos looked nothing like that, but we had a lot of fun looking at the results. I was trying out the face detection function on my camera, it's pretty handy and better than waiting 10 seconds for the self timer. we kept having to move our faces around to make the camera detect our faces. It was pretty good at detecting Mon's face. Taking the photos was really fun! Then we built a blanket fort over the treadmill and made up names for us, I think I was Flobber, a name I'm not so fond of. They invented an imaginary scene, while i went out to grab to something, that we were in hiding from a virus and we were trying to protect ourselves. Then of course I wanted to take some photos, and i told Mon to put her head on the floor which somehow lead to us making up a new song called "Put Your Head On The Floor" we have a voice and video recording of it. Oh I don't know what we were on, but it was seriously crazy and embarrassing, we even have a follow up single called "Sitting on a Chair".
The next morning, I headed over to Tom's house, and surprisingly it took about an hour to get there by public transport whereas driving would have only taken 15 minutes. There were already a few people there by the time I arrived. We started a game of monopoly, and it was going really slowly, having been to London, there are the few spots that I always want to buy, I was very happy to have landed and bought Oxford Street. It was so good catching up with everyone, sometimes I wish I was a bit closer to the whole Monash Pharm crew besides the select few, but with social retardness/awkwardness and the limited time we had together, what can you do? After lunch, we resumed the game, it was taking long, and I was kinda losing, so i wanted to combine with the girls and so the guys combined together, which was a bad thing, because one of the guys had a lot of money and property. It was amazing that we had lasted as long as we did, we had to pay so much rent, and eventually we did get bankrupt. That wasn't so fun. Tom drove us to all home/to the station afterwards, I showed Nug and Van "Put Your Head On The Floor", and they were laughing at it, I'm not too sure what they had thought of it, but it did get stuck in their heads, so I'm going to take that as a good sign.
On Thursday, I went laser tagging with the Latrobe crew, I haven't seen them in a while so that was good that we got a chance to meet up. It was also my first time laser tagging. It was a pretty scary experience, man those young teenage guys have such good aim, I kept getting shot and no idea where/who it was coming half the time! Overall, I didn't end up being the last person, and it was a fun experience! We had korean bbq for lunch and it was delicious. It was a buffet style and I ate quite a bit as usual! Then we went to artbox and got matching pacers, which was nice. Afterwards, we all went back into the city, they departed for State Library to study and I went home.
On Sunday, I met up with Yen, and we tried to stalk One Direction at crown. First I wanted to stop by Dragon Boat, just to see the table where The Maine had sat, i probably looked weird, standing outside staring in the general vicinity of the table, an Asian family was sitting there. I decided that one day I will go there and book that table. Boy there were a lot of 1D fans everywhere. People probably mistaken me as one too just because I was there, but i tried to look disinterested, not sure if it worked. I just love stalking celebrities, it's just so much fun! They had an afternoon performance, so we knew that they wouldn't around so we went off to harbour town to go window shopping, I wanted to find some blue boots i saw at Betts the other day. We went back to Crown, and the crowd increased! Although there still wasn't as many people as I thought there would of been. Yeah I was pretty much judging all the girls, it was very annoying because they kept screaming and it made us think that 1D has arrived, but I think it was for the cameras. There was the 1D merch van, which I admit was pretty cool, and wish that my bands something like that. Yen needed to get home and was tired of waiting for them, although it was a bummer that we missed by like 10mins. But i didn't mind, I wouldn't have to like to see the girls going crazy when they came out and Yen was worried about the fine she got for not having a validated ticket.
Early Monday morning, I flew back to the Gold Coast, and boy did i not want to be back! I don't like it up here, I don't like this lonely feeling, and I feel there is very little keeping me here. Okay I guess doing dentistry is a big thing, but I would feel more at home if i was actually doing dentistry subjects, not the foundation health subjects. All i want to do is stay home, go on the internet and sleep, the amount of time I spend at uni is shocking, and the old me from 2 years ago would be frowning shaking her head. The life up here is definitely not for me, I sweat way too much from the weather, even when its marginally cold. There are little friends that I barely see due to the massive lecture theatres and different timetables. And most of the time I'm not in the mood to socialize. The only thing that is pulling me through is my music, a world where I don't feel so alone and disconnected, a comforting place. Although I started going through post concert depression a couple of days ago, and desperately wanting The Maine to come back, I've just been getting all these The Maine feelings, and it's upsetting because I feel like I don't have many to turn to. Everyone's so distance, at least back in Melbourne, it was comforting to know that my friends are close to me. I got a postcard from Susan on Tuesday, and that my day infinitely better. Also I got my first blood test on wednesday! I was so nervous the whole time before. The lady who did a general health check up because I was a new patient, measured my heart rate and she said it was quite high. She asked if I was fit and did any exercise? I said i was okay and walked to uni, I also explained that I was just really nervous because i was getting my first blood test done. At least my blood pressure is normal, although I would have like it to be lower. The blood test was okay, but i felt very queasy about the fact that blood was coming out of me. the whole procedure was okay, just don't like the needle prick but then who does? Yeah I thought I would be confident that I was able to donate blood after having done the blood test, but now i'm not so sure if i could last through a whole session. That made me a little sad, I've always wanted to give blood.
Love Squealer.
