Random things that happen at random

This thread is for anyone (mostly me, I suppose) to talk about stuff that's happened to them. It doesn't have to be earth-shattering or anything. Just things.

Like, at the weekend we kind of had a house warming party. Well, my housemate did. He invited a handful of his friends round on Friday evening. I'll admit, it never even occured to me. Does that make me a bad person? Oh well, whatever.

During this "party" (about eight people, all told) I'm talking to a couple of people and for some reason we start making up funny early memories. The kind of cruel memories that indicate a terrible childhood or something. So I say, all deadpan, "Yeah, my earliest memory was my mum dropping cigarette ash onto my face."

Then I realise everyone else in the room has gone all quiet, so I look over and they're all staring at me with shocked looks on their faces. I had to explain I was only joking.

Things that happen: all commuter trains terribly late and a thief vending machine at once as I tried to survive my every morning getting to work activity.

Oh that's funny, Ersby.

Whenever the topic of wine coolers comes up I have to inform people that I was mixing wine with 7-UP at an early age for my mother. Long before wine coolers hit the market. I learned that the more wine I put in the drink, the sooner she'd pass out. :D

This morning I think I walked past a murder scene. The police were packing away the tape they use to cordon off an area and people in those white tissue-y jump suit things were hanging around. On the pavement were obviously just mopped up bits and in the gutter was some yellow maksing tape with red blotches on it.

I made myself a salad for lunch today, and then I forgot to bring a fork. I'll have to eat it with a teaspoon from the office kitchen.

This week my sister is happening to me. She's visiting from Sydney. I figure it'll take me about 3 weeks to recover from the alcohol not to mention the embarassment of Mum and Sis totally drunk at the Sake bar.

If you can't get drunk at a sake bar, where else're you supposed to get drunk? ;)

<font size="2" face="Comic sans ms, Helvetica, sans-serif">It was fairly early on. I was probably about nine, ten years at the most.

Ten years old? Blimey.

Anyway, I have discovered that my "Seal Tight" food container isn't really that tight at all, and now my bag smells of balsamic vinegar.

It could be worse, I suppose.

Of course it could [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Things that happen: I'm moving. Mom decided we "needed" to save money for the haulage. I'm NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER listening to her anymore.

I think I moved half house on my own.

But now we have a larger place, of course you are welcome to come and visit [img]smile.gif[/img]
