It was a pretty good weekend

Since I was meant to go to Melbourne with Bernie [long story], I called in to work telling them I can't come in.

Then, I surfed the net for airfares and I just couldn't afford it. I don't want to be in so much debt.

So I ended up with having three days off with nothing to do.

Then came Amber's message.

Pity how you had work, the boys wanted to do something, she messaged.

Guess what? Ain't working on the weekend, I replied.

We were meant to do something on Friday night. Like go for coffee wtih her ex-boyfriend and just catch up.

On a Friday night, nobody really wanted to drink caffeine.

More like Jim Beam.

So we ditched the caffeine fix and went to the Grand.

James was shouting us drinks all night.

It was good. No awkwardness and we helped him hook up with girls. I liked it.

We got home at seven in the morning. A little stopover had me passing out on Amber's friend's couch.

We basically spent the whole Saturday catching up on sleep.

Amber and I had a good laugh on how we sleep during the day and go out in the night.

It was the weekend, what do you expect?

We went out again last night. Almost shit myself when I saw a few people at work having a few drinks at the Grand.

Amber and I tried cracking onto the DJ. He was hot. Oh my god, I wanted to take him home. I honestly did.

We got home at three in the morning.

So Sunday was spent just lazing around Amber's house. I hadn't been home since Friday. We were bored and we [Abby, Amber and I] discovered all our phones have bluetooth so we spent the better part of the afternoon sending ringtones and pictures to each other.

We went cruising along the Esplanade. It was great fun.

Abby's got a really funny photo of someone crossing the street. I forgot to ask for it.

So yeah, go for it. Take some photos.

I got them to be a camera whore like me.

See?

I told you.

There are things that just need to be left alone

A friend messaged me and told me that she found out something about our other friend. She ran into a common friend and found out that our other friend's been going out with her ex. She was pissed off. I was in trouble.

She asked me why I didn't tell her.

Cos I just don't care, I almost yelled out. But I didn't. I hang out with this girl but I don't think she has the right to get angry at me.

I lied, of course. I'm not a very good liar but she didn't know that. I can't look at her in the face but I stuck to my other friend. It's not my place to say and I don't really want to get in the middle of all the drama.

She told me that she felt betrayed and made like a total fool.

I told her not to worry and to just forget about it. They'd been broken up ages ago anyway.

It's not like you won't get anyone else. It's a fair a go, I said.

Are you going to hook up with someone I hooked up with, she asked me.

That's not really fair, I told myself.

I won't do that anymore, I lost a friend doing that and I'm not about to do the same mistake again, I replied.

Plus the boys she hooks up with are less than stellar anyway.

So you know what I'm feeling, she demanded.

But I thought you were the one who broke up with him, I'm confused, I said.

It's the principles, nikki, she countered.

You know what? Stuff the principles, you can't stop other people from going out with your ex, it's selfish and immature, I said.

It's wrong, she fumed.

Whatever.

I hate being caught in the middle of everything.

I don't need anyone asking me for advices. I'm not very good at it especially since I'm having troubles with it.

So what about going out with two friends, she asked.

I was quiet. Cos I've been doing that in the past week.

Hooking up with two friends.

Yes, if the other relationship is over, I said.

You're sick, she snapped.

Do you honestly think hooking up with two friends is the way to go, she asked.

No, but I decided not to care, I said.

Whatever works for you, babe, she sighed. Disappointed.

Usually I hate disappointing people but since I decided not to care anymore, I decided not to be fazed.

I've had it up to here [think way above my head] with pleasing people.

Pleasing people at work, my mum, my relatives.

Everyone. I walk around with a smile on my face because I know what I want and I"m going after it.

Keep your options open, Uncle once told me. As long as you're doing ok with work and uni, you can do what you want, he added.

I am. I don't want to settle for less. I know I'll meet a guy someday.

But since he's not here right now, I'm not going to mope.

Meaning, I'll do what I want to do without anybody telling me otherwise.

She ended up being angry at my other friend and I ended up telling her where to go.

I don't think she appreciated that.

To be totally honest, my loyalty lies on my other friend.

Though I don't see her that much [you know who you are, hey?] I love her to bits.

And I don't care what she does, I'll stick by her. The same way she sticks by me.

Yeah, my lovelife is not really in its good condition right now but I want my social life to be sane.
