What happened?!

Remember that time I told you I needed to save money and that other time I told you I needed to drink less?

Turns out that all kind of went out the window Friday night.

I've been wanting to head back to Wellington ever since I went down for Siobhan's birthday- so this week I decided fuck it... there's nothing REALLY stopping me from going down again so why not just quit bitching an do it. Boy did I do the hell out of it!

So I picked up Toni straight after work Friday night and headed straight down and arrived at about 8:30. We had a room booked at The Mercure on Willis which we both thought was a sweet deal at the room was only $80 for the night- turns out there was a reason it was so cheap. Our room was basically a shoe box and if you had to use the bathroom you couldn't just turn around to leave- you kind of had to back yourself out. We reasoned that we were really only going to spend a couple of hours in the room anyway and most of that time would be spent in a state of total inebriation so we wouldn't really notice as much.

So we got ready and I managed to down a bottle and a half of wine to her half bottle- so the night was off to a good start. But from the taxi ride in the night gets a bit patchy- I can probably only bullet point the rest of my night- so here goes:


  • Humming Bird for some cocktails (where I completely embarrassed myself by going into their store room thinking it was the mens toilets)
  • Red Square to like the ice bar
  • Some underground place for 2x vodka and mokes (mini cokes- Yes we like to hybridise a lot of our words... the bitch at the bar didnt think it was so funny)
  • MERMAIDS - now I assume this is where the night got interesting and expensive... 
    • Round of shots
    • Stripper money
    • Motorboating
    • Round of shots
    • Motorboating
    • Stripper money
    • Asking a waitress if I get to see her naked too
    • Asking the girl on the bar if I could motorboat her too
    • Round of shots
  • Home (where aparently on the way we stopped at Garden Bar on the way and I fell asleep at the bar)
I wake up fully clothed at the opposite end of my bed on top of my blankets next to an uneaten Kebab- Toni tells me we didnt get home until 5:30am- It also turns out that I managed to get a strippers number that night as well. I must have been on good form!!!- We then spent the rest of the day wandering around the city trying to sober up enough for me to drive us back home... unsurprisingly we didnt get home until 5:30pm.

I bit the bullet this morning and checked my bank balance and after having $460 in there the night before- I was down to $38... thank fuck for the small amount of savings I have since I dont get paid until NEXT Wednesday!

Restless

Went down to Wellington for my friends birthday this weekend. It was pretty good- Me and my friend Li went down together. I haven't seen her in like a month so it was SO good to have a catch up- its a 2 hour drive down to Wellington from here and we talked non-stop the whole way. I love trips like that where one conversation just  evolves into another.

We got to Wellington, it seemed so quick and made our way to Siobhan's through the maze that is the country's capital.Its such an awesome place- it makes me feel a little down about where I live which isn't good!!!

So we started drinking at like 5 and that was mainly because we had arrived super early and for me anyway I needed booze to lubricate conversation with awkward flatmates. Also I got to meet Justin- He and I come from the same town and while we have seen each other around we have never officially me... After basically 24 hours with him I think I have developed somewhat of a crush which also sucks since we don't even live in the same place.

This is where I casually skip over the part where I vommed all over a power box in the middle of the city after downing the speediest drink. And cut straight to the part where I told some guy that my name was Dylan because that was his name too and then when a questioned my honestly I said; "What kind of fuck wit would lie about his age?" - turns out that fuck wit is me!!!!

We also met this guy:

 from this tv show:


Which I actually can't stand so when Siobhan ran off screaming to get a photo with him and I finally caught up and realised who had caused the commotion my face did this:


Which was kinda obvious and thinking back on it ... kind of rude but I've just filed it under 'shit happens'.

Other than that and the vom incident it was a top night!!!
