Party All The Time

Last weekend was the third weekend that April and I partied relatively hard. It was real worth it though.

Highlights:
- Critical Mass - big bike ride that happens on the last Friday of every month. Everyone congregates downtown at the art gallery and follows who knows who to all diff places around the city. There are shit loads of people who do it. We took over three different main bridges throughout the evening. Ended up in Stanley Park (where I worked teaching kids about trees) for an awesome ride through the forest. We stopped at English bay and watched the sun set. This was followed by an awesome all you can eat sushi meal. So good.

- Fish's Farewell. Fish is a friend of April's, and now a friend of mine. He had this crazy party at his house as he is leaving Vancouver. The highlight for this party was watching party do a handstand against the wall. He had seen April and I do it an make it look so effortless. Tried to do it himself and just sunk to the ground. Hilarious. Another highlight is April saying she'll take off her clothes and dance around if the DJ played Michael Jackson. This was at about 6/7am in the morning. Fish had requested chill out music, we wanted to keep dancing though. So on came Michael Jackson and off came the clothes. So it was her, Marty, myself dancing around in underwear. There were like 4 other people dancing fully clothed. Fun times. April went to the bathroom, so marty thought it would be a good idea to put on Aprils dress. So I put on his clothes. April was happily surprised and put my clothes on. Good damn times.

- After Fish's the three of us walked to Bons. Cheap breakfast joint for 3 dollar breakfast. Paid for it with money found at party. Spent the rest of the day falling asleep to flight of the concords.

- Evening BBQ. On same day as sleepy Concords we invited some people around for BBQ. While April was getting food ready Marty and I got outside organised. Marty is full of good ideas. We were setting up the futon couch outside and he suggested that we make a trail of rose petals from outside the kitchen where April was leading down the stairs to the backyard and ending up to to the couch where Marty and I were laying down in our underwear. Unfortunately some guests arrived before April discovered us, slightly embarrassing. We got them to go knock on the front door so April would see the trail of rose petals. She loved it.

- 200 flavoured ice cream. Curry, blue cheese, wasabi, all sorts of crazy shit. I opted for the more straight edge fruity flavours.

- Package from parents. Most awesome thing ever. It was kind of ill timed though. I pretty much hadn't had any sleep. The weekend kinda ended on Tuesday at 11:30am. Meaning I had half an hour to move everything out of my room for the new house mate to arrive. I got that done, and when she was moving her shit in with 3 other people the package arrived. I was feeling pretty emo... had to go hide out in the backyard to open it. Dad had made Anzac biscuits, mum sent me this really nice soft fabric shirt. There was all this strange candy (presumably Ben's idea), there was the Wagga News paper, and an Australian newspaper. The highlight though was this kids toy that records and warps voices. When I hit play there was this awesome message from Mum, Dad and Ben. Ben's was my fave. It was a string of swears that had been warped. There was also an Australian flag I had chosen not to take with me when I left Australia. I am glad to have it now though, gonna put it on the dash of the car when Rich and I drive around the states.
