MONDAY AFTERNOON IN WAGGA WAGGA


Having only just recovered from my crazy Saturday night (LIE), I am finally relaxing (SECOND LIE. HAVEN'T DONE SHIT).

Once again, Mum and Dad's Xmas gathering highlighted their ability to host the most ethnic BBQ in Wagga. I was allowed to invite a friend, so I chose Kate. We didn't socialise much, but really pulled through at the end of the night when Nikita's (sister) boyfriend's father needed to talk to people (DRUNK). We also scored brownie points when my dad needed to tell everyone that dinner was ready, as we 'performed' the announcement really well.

Kate's bf is featured in the 2009 Mangoplah-Cookadinia-Eastlakes United Calendar. He's topless, and she carries a photo of him in her wallet. His giant ability to be a BABE, was rewarded with a place on my family's fridge.



After discussing the newly crowned Miss Wagga (featured below) and the 23 year old Wagga City Councilor with a D.U.I charge, we headed momentary out. Apparently there are heaps of knife fights in Baylis St after dark. I didn't see any, but thought it was safer to go home regardless.



On Sunday I went shopping. Well, actually just window shopping. I recently found a picture on Facebook of my old flatmate (The One Who Still Hates Me), wearing a dress that I found in Myer.
It's $140? WTF.



Over priced, ugly-ass dresses were a recurring theme downtown. It's no suprise that local stores only last 6 months or so. Either that, or knife fights were a massive problem in all the shit clothing stores on Baylis St.

I met up with Dad and he also refused both plastic and green bags from Woolworths, so I had to carry everything to the car. I pretty sure my parents only flew me down to help them grocery shop.

At home Nikita and Janine were laughing at the School Spectacular on ABC 2. Mum found everything 'token'. The token Aboriginal piece, Country piece and the 'Special Ed' piece were all commented on.

After being ditched by mistermooseman (for gambling), I caught up with the local thesbian scene (ALL IN-CHARACTER). Driving home, I got pulled over and breath tested. Sirens and all. I swear, Wagga is becoming B.More.

Today was nowhere near as eventful and I'm happily blaming mistermooseman. He forgot that he'd rescheduled our reunion, and I waited at home for 2 hours. I have since told him that he has missed any chance of a reconciliation. Maybe 2009.

AND HEY GUYZ! SAD NEWS.

My cat (LOL) is sick.

This post is for you Kevin (real name: Peach).

SATURDAY MORNING IN WAGGA WAGGA

I'm spending the next four (maybe five) days in Wagga Wagga.

Slightly distressed at the thought that I was not attending my main-man-Ken-Hutchin's (who the FUCK is KEN?) Pilooski bash, once I heard parent's changed internet providers, my spirits [oddly] lifted.

HEAPS FASTER.

Mum picked me up at the newly refurbished Wagga Wagga Airport and we both LOLed about how dramatically fake we made our re-union appear to other travelers.

We drove to Dad's shop, where I greeted him with my attitude and a small 'Welcome Home Fight'. Mum showed me her new favourite shop next door, selling 'very interesting wool'.

I noticed the patchworks the Saturday Sewing Club (name not confirmed) had been working on.




After a quick coffee, I went to Woolworths with Janine (mum). Can you believe they are trialling self-service check-outs in Wagga? COULDN'T.

When the girl at the register asked if Janine wanted a green bag, she screamed 'NOOOO!' and said we'll be happier carrying everything in our (my) arms. Realising that she had just appeared slightly senile, I LOLed as I watched my mum try to explain her response.

The woman also apologised. She told Janine that it's just to hard to not ask the customer, especially when her register automatically prompts her to do so.

Mum pointed out a sausage sizzle as we walked out Woolworths. 'You don't get that in the city, do you Nina?'.

'No Mum, I've never seen one before.'

PLEASE NOTE - I have a history of writing Wagga Wagga themed blogs. If you haven't already wiped myspace out of your twitter-fueled-www-iPhone-worlds, they are all hear and here.

PILOOSKI WHO?
