After getting to bed at around midnight I was woken up at 8:15am by my uncle calling to tell me that he tried to call my parents and eventually got onto them.
After that short call I went back to bed. So then at 9:15AM I was once again woken up by a phone call from my parents, saying hi and that they were alive and that uncle had called them earlier. Argh. I was most unpleasant and when they hung up I went back to bed until 10.
At about 10:30 Caitlin called me to ask if I was going to go up to the market day at the uni, it was all the clubs and stuff having stalls to try and get you to join and all that. So we arranged to meet and walk up together. We met at the hut and walked down. There were about 50ish stalls around... no, i'm exaggerating, make it about 30ish, stalls around. So we just wandered. We got pens with balloons attached to them from the Appliance rental stall. I got a commonwealth bank bag from the cba stall (NB: We have a commonwealth bank on campus, like a full one that you can go in and everything). We got a UC bag that Caitlin told me had a frisbe and condoms in it. We got heaps of panphlets from the bus stall which is excellent because we'll be able to find a way into the city centre with that. We got free snow cones at one of the church stalls. We signed up for the Poker Club and after we wrote our names down the girls says "thats $5" and we're both like... oh... you didn't tell us that before. But we both paid. I feel bad coz Caitlin didn't really want to join and I kind of pushed her into it.
So we walked back to dump the many many bags we had collected in Caitlin's room (cos it was closer) before we headed back for yet another free sausage sizzle. We met up with Caitlin's friend Elijah on the way back, so he walked around with us for a while. He didn't say much but he seemed alright. He lives in the same block as her. We got and ate sausaged and then Elijah got a snowcone and then we walked back, I wasn't feeling too well so I picked up my stuff from Caitlin's place and went back to my room to have a rest. Damien called me at about 2pm to ask if I wanted to go to the mall with him, I was still half asleep so I declined but I thought it was extremely thoughtful of him to ask.
Damien said he might be attending the pub crawl that night but since I didn't see him there I assume that he didn't actually go. Walking back with Caitlin to drop off our bags I ran into Shannon. The same Shannon that I haven't seen since she went to work on Sunday. Argh. I told her that I was going on the pub crawl and she said she would too. Caitlin and Shannon met for the first time.
The theme for the pub crawl was Mad Hatter. I wore my "Wilson" cap which was good coz if people asked my name I could just point. Shannon showed up at my door (coz this time we exchanged room numbers so we could find each other) at about 3:30. So I quickly got changed and we went down together. She didn't have a hat. We stood in the courtyard for a couple of minutes before she felt out of places and asked to borrow my hat. When we go back they told us that we had to have our ties. So we went back and got them. Then we got back to the courtyard and she realised that she had her donut king hat in her car so we went and go that and by the time we had everyone was getting ready to get onto the buses. I couldn't find Caitlin even though i'd promised to meet her around there. I paid my $5, got onto the bus and then saw her as we were driving away. She was with a group of girls so I didn't worry.
The first place we went to was a pub, Shannon and I quickly grabbed a table, and got drinks. I decided to start off with a coke coz it was only 4:15pm. Shannon got a pineapple cruiser black and an orange juice. About half an hour later Caitlin showed up and she came and sat with us. They seemed to get on well. We sat and they both got sausages but I was sick of sausages. John talked to us for a while. He went to school with Caitlin for a while so they knew each other.
At some point we were worried because we were sitting a bit too close to the dart board so we moved into the back room and sat there. It was really hot so we got a pitcher of water and some glasses. Um... after about 3 hours the buses came back to take us to the next bar. The three of us jumped on the first bus and sat in the second seat on the left. They told us to try to get three to a seat because there wasn't enough buses so the three of us squeezed in.
Everyone piled onto the bus and there were a number of drunk people having to stand, which was a bit scary. This is where we met Casey. Casey was standing close to the front of the bus which and he just started talking to us, well he started talking to me first. He looked at me and said "I haven't seen you around before, where are you living?". And since I was wearing my Arscott tie and he was also wearing his Arscott tie I just picked it up off my neck and kinda waved it around a bit. There was a pause while he tried to read the tie and then he's like "No way, I havent seen you around anywhere. Do you go to stuff? Like do you venture out of your room and hang out in the courtyard?" and i'm like "sometimes I do". He asked me my name and I pointed to my hat and he's like "wilson". And he said that next time I come down to the courtyard he'll make a big deal out of it and yell "wilson's here". He talked to Shannon and Caitlin for a bit until Shannon got a phone call and then he talked to Caitlin a bit more. When Shannon hung up the phone he pointed to each of us and tried remembering our names.
Pub number two was actually more of a bar. It was pretty small and it really didn't hold everyone who was coming. So us three girls snagged a table quickly before the other busload of people arrived. Shannon and I went to the bar and she bought Caitlin and herself a Pineapple cruiser each and I decided to get a raspberry. Casey was on my right at the bar. When I got to the bar he pointed at me and said "Wilson" and I said "yup" and he said "I remembered that coz you're cute" and I was like laughing. And then he paused and then said "wait, I didn't say that alright" and i'm like "okay".
So then I ordered my drink and he said "nice choice" and I asked him to pass me a straw which he did and then the guy gave me my drink and I gave him the money and then Casey said to me "I would have said nice choice no matter what drink you ordered" and I laughed some more and went back to the table.
Sitting back down at the table with the girls Caitlin got out her camera to take a picture of Shannon and I just as Casey was walking past and he said "I have to be in this photo, please" and he knelt down behind us. Lol. Caitlin took the first picture and he looked at it and was like "please delete it, it's terrible" and so we took another one in which apparently his head looks transparent, but I didn't actually look at it, and then finally Caitlin took a third which he approved of and then he left.
So thats the "I got hit on in a bar, story" =D
So us girls sat in the bar for a while, until it got overly overly crowded. Like fire-hazard crowded. Once we finished our drinks Shannon had the bright idea of walking down the street to get ice cream. As soon as we got up our table was swiped from under us.
Oh I forgot to mention that John and John sat with us for a while, Shannon had to go outside to call her mum so red-head John took her seat and other John pulled up a chair round the back. When Shannon came back red-head John took other John's seat and other John went and sat with some people behind us. Oh and Caitlin got Shannon to finished her drink coz it wasn't making her feel good.
The ice cream place was just down the street. It was interesting. You start by picking the size (Shannon said to start with small) and the base flavour, Shannon picked vanilla but Caitlin and I both went for chocolate. Then you decide from a number of different things to put in it and they mix it all up for you. I got sprinkles, m&ms and maltesars. I shouldn't have got the chocolate. It cost about $5 and it was really nice but it was really really chocolatey. Caitlin didn't even come close to finishing hers, I made it past half way which I was proud of. Shannon finished hers. Once we were done we looked outside and it was pooring with rain. This guy (with a beer carton on his head so we knew he was on the pub crawl too) started banging on the window and used his phone to ask us "where are we" and Shannon wrote back saying where we were. I think they were calling a taxi. So we went to the doorway and stood there with some other people from the crawl for a while until we decided to make a run for it in the pelting down rain back to the bar. We got about half way before we saw some more funny hat people in the Turkish restaurant, or internet cafe, i'm actually not sure where we ended up. Anyway we stopped in there and they told us that the buses weren't coming back, we were expected to walk to the next bar. I was happy walking but the others weren't too keen. The guy running the net cafe/turkish restaurant had called three taxis for the people in there and everyone was sprinting for them when they arrived.
Shannon called her boyfriend and begged him to come pick us up and drop us at the lighthouse and he arrived in like 10 minutes. He shouldn't have been driving coz he doesn't have any rego but i'm hoping he made it home safely. We got to the lighthouse at about 10:30ish and there was a line coz the outside part was closed coz of the rain so we waited there for like half an hour and then had to pay $2 for entry. I got another Red Bull Blue and so did Caitlin and Shannon got two. We couldn't find a table coz it was packed so we stood around. Caitlin got chatting to a guy near the pool table coz she was wearing a swedish hat and he asked her if she was from Sweden. We didn't stay for too long.
Shannon and I walked Caitlin back up to UV and then we went back down to Arscott together coz it was safer that way.

A Quick Wilson Quiz
"You can't stop the beat" - Hairspray
TRACY
You cant stop an avalanche
As it races down the hill
You can try to stop the seasons, girl
But ya know you never will
And you can try to stop my dancin' feet
But i just cannot stand still
Cause the world keeps spinnin'
Round and round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost til i heard the drums
Then i found my way
TRACY & LINK
Cause you can't stop the beat
Ever since this old world began
A woman found out if she shook it
She could shake up a man
And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it
The best that i can today
'Cause you cant stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you wanna
But i never ask why
And if you try to hold me down
I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That you cant stop the beat!

my name is wilson
I'm one of those people who prefers to be out the back of the shoe store packing away boxes and ordering shoes rather than serving customers. I'm allergic to nothing and yet
I avoid things that i'm not used to. I fell in love once and to be loved is the most wonderful feeling in the entire world. I hold on to stereotypes of myself from years
ago not realising how much i've changed. I've taken two steps toward being independent but am nowhere near the stage most people are at my age. I crave attention but at
the same time hate getting it. I like my privacy and my space and miss having a big backyard to wander in. I want to do everything but make no effort to do anything
and then complain about it. I love to laugh and to make other people laugh at me. I can't stand being serious or when somebody else is crying and I can't do anything
to make them feel better. I want to be held when I cry. I want to be spoilt and to lie in bed forever with someone who i've given my heart to.
