Updates!

I haven’t blogged for ages and I feel like I’ve abandoned my faithful readers. I’ve recieved a couple of complaints so I’ll be sure to try and update more often.

I can’t be bothered filling in all the interesting things (read: working and going to the gym) I’ve been doing, so I’ll just start with the most recent event in memory. Last night there was a goonmeet at Castle Blokenstein, solely with the intention of getting pissdrunk and celebrating halloween.

The place looked amazing. As usual, Will had gone all out- the backyard was decked out as an awesome graveyard, complete with a giant headstone, a few smaller graves, and a k-rad mausoleum. Like always, the members of the Blokenstein household looked great, and some of the goons went all out with the costuming. I’ll see if I can source some photos.

In any case, a party wouldn’t be a party without copious amounts of alcohol. Ashley came over during the day and had lunch with Andrew and I, and then we went to the huge booze megastore near the regatta. While we were perusing the spirits section I looked up and saw Natalie and Andrew, and bounced over to them to dispense an appropriate number of hugs. After the incessant chatter ceased and we stood around looking awkwardly at one another, I lead Ashley and Andrew (housemate andrew) over to the cold beverages, and we got out of there mostly unscathed.

We went back to our place, I napped and showered and kitted myself out with the army gear I’d sourced from various people (Will loaned me an awesome vest that was practically built for carrying booze.), and we sat around until our ride (yet another Will) arrived. As usual, we got lost along the way- it’s to be expected. We arrived fashionably on time and started with the drinking pretty much the moment we got there. The drinking was good, and as such I can’t remember a great deal about anything that happened. I’ll try and rattle off a few highlights.

- As I already mentioned, the awesome decorations at the castle. The place looked amazing and I hope to get a few photos.

- Seeing all the goons in their costumes. Joel looked fantastic as a timid little mormon, Whalley looked wicked cute as Mr Hedonism, both Wills looked great as Hellboy and a Zombie, Nobody looked adorable as a scout, and Mooseface’s dominos getup brought back some painful, oily memories..
- Loungeroom spankings. Although these seemed to occur pretty much around the entire house and backyard, the lounge spankings are the ones I remember best.

- Scrounging through the freezer to find a frozen sausage roll at way too early in the morning only to burn it in the microwave and have to pick at the sad remains. The cat was the only one REALLY interested in it, to be perfectly honest.

I’ve managed to locate a few photos. Luckily for me (and my pristine reputation..), I’m in none of them.
