tales from an ordinary world

1999-02-10

I might have to, like, swap hemispheres, just so I can cope with the weather on my birthday. Wandered down to St Kilda for a late breakfast/lunch, after staying up until 2:30am fixing stuff at work (at least I didn't have to go in to work to fix it all), and if the weather had been a bit cooler, I would have gone and sat on the pier for a while. As it was, I probably would have been sunburnt before I'd even thought about it (the beach often does that to me). I trammed, trained and bussed myself to Monash, avoided people who didn't know I'd taken the day off and might try and get me to do work for them, and had afternoon tea with a few friends. A few of us went out for dinner to this restaurant called Limor's, which is one of those "all you can meat" places. They have these barbeque platters that feed your average small suburb without costing overly much. It was good, apart from the Catholic Guilt^TM I sometimes end up feeling from eating meat, especially when it was so much at once. I couldn't quite work out whether Ana enjoyed herself or not, but she wasn't telling, so...

26. Hrm. I guess I'd better start acting like an adult one of these days. Bummer. All those house buying, child-rearing, marriage-wrecking lifestyles that I can't imagine even beginning to cope with yet. Maybe later.
