Let's see, a lazy Saturday before I go back to work on Monday, a week later than I was supposed to..

I got up after 11am, really getting into these lazy days off work.

I bummed around on the computer for a bit, had some breakfast.

I decided to watch the TMBG DVD I bought yesterday, it was prettry good. I was trying to do some blogging, but I kept getting distracted watching the TMBG videos.

About half way through watching it, my brother came in with some mail for me.. ahh.. the missing mail.

There were a few letters, some via the QLD address, and some local. I opened all the QLD stuff first, there was a letter telling me that I had accumluted 4 points on my license, which meant I had to make a choice, either a 3 month suspension, or a 1 point license for a year.

I opened the second letter from QLD, it was a reminder that I'd not advised them of my choice regarding the suspension, or 1 point license, and if I didn't, then my license would automatically be suspended, from the 24th February until the 23rd May.

I opened the 3rd QLD letter, it was something about my insurance.. a renewal of my 3rd party insurance.. dated in September last year. Ooh, great, I only got that 6 months late.

The local letter was just a useless bank statement, telling me about the tiny amount of money I have sitting in an account I haven't touched since I was going to Tafe in 2002.

I went back to watching the DVD after that, a bit pissed off about the whole situation again, in regards to this mail.

I finished watching the DVD, and was just sitting there, when my mate (the drummer) called me, he wanted to know what I was doing, I said "nothing", he wanted to know if I wanted to go out for lunch, I said that sounded ok, so I'd see him shortly.

I jumped in the shower, and got ready etc, I was waiting for my mate to turn up when Dad came in, asking me stuff about the mail, and I explained the situation again, getting a bit pissed off, because I'm jsut sick of the whole thing.

I went back to waiting, and my mate turned up not long after. I went and jumped in the car, and we drove over to our other mate's place,and went inside, while we waited for him to get ready.

I got a call from my mate I went on holidays with recently, he said we were having a bbq tonight, a party for our mate that lives in Newcastle, because it's his birthday.

He told me that our other mate, the guy whose dad owns the aircon business, wanted to borrow my parents high pressure water washer thing, because we're having the party at his place, and out the front is filthy.

I said I'd try and sort it out, because I wasn't at home.

I got off the phone, and then I called home, and asked about borrowing the washer, Dad said it was ok, I said that my mate would probably just turn up and collect it.

I called up my other mate then, to tell him that he could collect the washer from my place, to clean the cement. He then told me that he would be out at Erina in a bit, getting food for the bbq later, so I said I might see him out there, since we were going out there to get lunch.

My mate finished getting ready, and we all jumped in the car, and went out to Erina.

We went into the food court, and bought lunch. While I was waiting for my burger to be made, I saw a couple of people I know, my mate who lives at Wyong (and fixes computers)' daughter and son-in-law, who are both cops.

I spoke to them for a few minutes, and mentioned my situation, with getting busted, and charged with unlicensed driving, and my mate's son-in-law told me that he deals with it all the time, from the other side, when he catches people, and they just turn up to court, say they didn't get the letter (even though they've been living wherever, forever, and get every other piece of mail), didn't know they were suspended, and it gets dismissed.

Hopefully QLD works the same way as down here. They wanted to keep going, so I said I'd see them later. Apparently my mate's daughter is pregnant, but I didn't notice it when I saw her (my mate told me later when I was on the phone to him).

I got my lunch, and found the others sitting outside, so I went out there, ate lunch.

While we were eating, I saw this weird looking woman, and I thought "Who does she think she is, Casey Chambers?", so then I said it, and my mate turned around, saw her too, and said that it was her. Heh.

I continued eating lunch, and a couple more of my mates turned up, my mate who works at abc's sister, and her boyfriend.

We chatted to them for a while, and then when we were all finished eating, the 5 of us wandered around the shops for a bit.

I called my mate, who I'd been on the phone to before, about the washer, to find out if he was out here yet, he said he'd be out here in a little while.

I hung around where he said he'd meet me, and the others left, since I said I'd get a lift back with the other guys.

I remembered my mate (that I went on holidays) asking me to get a card for our mate, so while I waited, I went into the newsagent, and started looking through the cards. I couldn't find anything really funny, figured I'd keep looking.

My mates (the guy who's dad owns the aircon busines, and the guy who works at abc) turned up, I went over, they bought some meat at the butcher, and then we went to the bakery to get some bread.

I forgot all about the card, we left, went back to the car, and drove back to my place, and picked up the high pressure washer.

We went back to their place after that, and I setup the washer, and then my mate (who I went on holidays with) turned up, with his dog, and we spent the next hour or so cleaning the cement, and the table and chairs.

My mate (who I went on holidays with) was on the phone a few times to his mate that lives in Sydney, trying to get him to come up, but he was arguing that he didn't have any money etc.

I told him to just go to the station, and tell them that he didn't have any money, because they have to let you travel on the train, because it's a government service, and they aren't allowed to refuse travel to people because they have no money.

My mate was trying to work out how to transfer some money to his mate in Sydney, but it would take hours or days to get between banks.

My mate who works at the ABC said that he was with the same back, so he transferred some money from his account across, and it went across immediately.

My mate washed his bike that's been parked there getting covered in crap for about 2 years (because he's too much of a wimp to ride), and then we moved it into the carport.

Once we'd finished, we grabbed some beers. My mate who works at the abc had got some awful beers from somewhere, because of the novelty label.. a 70s looking woman, nude, but with latex over her bits that you can scratch off like a lottery ticket.

A little while later my mate's wife turned up, we put some music on, stood around drinking and chatting for a while.

We fired up the bbq, and started cooking the meat up. My mate told me that his wife had brought around some music DVDs, and he wanted the ACDC DVD on, so I went in and put that on.

We finished cooking the meat, and all sat down to eat, outside, watching the ACDC DVD projected on the wall inside, through the windows.

My mate who lives in Wyong, and fixes the computers called me, I don't remember what he was going on about, but I think it was something about a stuffed motherboard. I really didn't care, I was trying to eat my dinner.

I got off the phone, and then my mate who lives in Newcastle turned up, having ridden his pushbike from Gosford train station.

He sat down, had a beer and some food, and we said Happy Birthday and all that.

My mate's wife took off to pick up my mate's mate, in Sydney, the guy he'd transferred the money too.

She came back about 20 minutes later with him, and we sat and chatted and drank more etc, and listened to music.

A while later, my mate's wife left, and she took the dog with her, because he was being a pain, and trying to run away.

We sat inside for a while, it was getting a bit cold outside, and continued drinking.

About 1/2 hour later someone had the smart idea of using the projector to show pr0n video clips, that went on for about a half an hour, my mate finding shadow puppets to be particularly hilarious.

After the novelty wore off there (far later than it should have) someone put a movie on, King Arthur or something.

I found it quite boring, and when someone went to the service station to get cigarettes, I took the chance, and wandered off, and started walking home, at about 2am.

About 1/2 way home, while just walking along minding my own business, a car went past, and once it was past me, some idiot hung out the front passenger window, and yelled "Dickhead!" "Wanker!".

Hmm. How about "coward", for waiting until the car was past me before yelling it, when I couldn't kick the shit out of the side of the car as it went past.

I got hmme at 2.55am, bummed around at home for a while, put the tv on, used the computer, and went to bed at about 3.40am.
