Neighbours, Penguins and Goodbye Melbourne

Its been a couple of weeks since my last update and a fair bit has happened since then. Firstly the landlord we have here threw a bbq for all his tenants. That was a great laugh. He brought all the food and everything so all we had to do was to pick up some beers. Got to meet up with a few people and got invited then to a party on Saturday... which I arrived home after at 10 the following morning. Sound bunch of people though.

Last Monday I met up with fellow Pirate Hooker, Claire and went to neighbours night. That was a great laugh. The two of us were but at a table with about 8 or 9 others and we all had a laugh. Some of the cast were there but I'd no idea who most of them were. Joe went on a hot date and met us at the end of neighbours night. Then we all headed to a gay bar, because it was the only place nearby that was open. A transvestite bought me a shot. Very funny. Oh, and Claire was kinda shoved on stage during a drag show. That was very funny.

On Philip island there is the penguin parade which we went to on Wednesday. They used to be called Fairy Penguins but thats not pc so the changed the name, I assume coz other penguins took the piss out of them. We were sitting to far from where they came in though so I didn't know if I was seeing a penguin or a seagull with its arse in the air.

Then on Thursday we went to Quazar. Haven't done that since Conor Twomey's birthday party when we were younger. 7 of us spent an hour in there. It was great fun. Two girls from the neighbours night went with us as well.

The party on Saturday night pretty much brings us to now. We are off to Sydney tomorrow. Renting a car and driving up. Staying overnight along the way in a town with a funny name (its a very long drive). Hopefully I'll be able to get a job there and a place to live and we'll be sorted. Melbourne is a nice city but there isn't a whole lot of stuff happening here. Although in saying that, the Melbourne cup is next week. Oh well, couldn't afford to go there anyway! With any luck, Sydney will be a bit better but all in all I kind of want to get a bit of money together and get out of Australia. Still though, until then, I'll be making the most of it.
