Well well last night I finally went clubbing with Liv (my birthday didn't really count cos the place was almost deserted). After missing the train back to my house, I managed to make it to Milton and rushed to my house only to find the outside gate locked. We live on the lower level, and there's a small gate to the left of the house that leads from the upper level to the lower, and sometimes if we don't hold onto the gate properly it slams pretty loudly and we must have pissed off the people up top pretty badly because they put some stuff between the gate and the wall to soften the fall, as well as locked it. And I didn't have the gate key on me.
So I called my trusty housemates, who turned out they had just arrived at IGA about 10 minutes away to do some shopping. So I told them to stay put and I'd run over, grab the key and run back. There are two routes from the house to IGA, one shorter but goes uphill then downhill, and the other a bit longer and mostly flat the whole way. I was carrying a pretty heavy bag so I decided I didn't want to run up a hill just at that moment so I went the other way, and just as I made it to IGA and found Demon, he was on the phone saying "...she's standing right in front of me now..." Satomi had grabbed the key and gone home, walking the other way from me, saying "there's no way we could miss each other on the way" and arrived at home about 2 seconds before I got to Demon. Too good.
Well anyway I finished shopping with Demon and went home, him treating me to some ice cream on the way so I guess that made up for it :P Living in a sharehouse we made a lot of rules, and sectioned off most parts of the kitchen and bathroom for food/items that aren't to be shared, and sometimes we have to be careful we don't accidentally eat/use someone else's stuff. We also have to buy our own ice cream cos everyone eats it too quickly XD When we first got the house, it was meant to be Demon, Justin and I - but then Justin bailed. So Demon got Satomi, and now there's this Mainlander chick called Lin (there's four rooms in the house - but only one bathroom T__T) who I haven't even seen yet cos she's either already out or not back yet every time I'm home. And I haven't moved in yet because there wasn't any internet, and we had to get a phone line installed, and it's taken ages, and we can't get internet for another two weeks. Goes to show, can't live without internet :P
Anyway back to the story. I grabbed the stuff I needed from my house and headed over to Liv's, now that she lives only three streets away from me. I still had to print off a map to make sure I was on the right road though. When we got there, her brother took us out to get pizza at Pizza Capers, a pizzeria (?) that makes gourmet pizzas. I wouldn't say it's the best pizza I've ever eaten, but I suppose it was ok? :S The potato one was pretty interesting to have on pizza haha. Cal and Raye were supposed to join us for dinner, but they were still in Sunnybank so we said we'd meet them outside Klub Kandy. After pizza we got dressed, and our dubious ride, Alex arrived.
I had met Alex a few days prior in one of Liv's lecture, and he was pretty weird: quiet, looked a bit shifty, spoke quietly with a bit of slurring, dressed down. I was tired that day so I was annoyed when he was trying to talk to me but I couldn't understand him much so I mostly ignored him, but Liv said "he was a bit weird but a good guy, just give him a chance" so I decided I'd try to be friendlier, since he was driving us around. He had to charge his phone a bit cos it was out of batteries, and while we were waiting we chatted a bit, which confirmed my suspicions, that he really is just weird. He was also older than I expected, 26, and Liv is only 19, so... well I made some assumptions right there.
He drove us off the the Valley, his driving a little whack and sometimes sped but got us there at 10pm, and we joined Cal and Raye in the line. Since we were there early the line was pretty short. Cal and Raye were holding a pack of beer and, not wanting to ditch it, tried to slam it all down before we got it. I tried to help, but it tasted so bad I passed mine on =.= Beer is definitely not something I'd wanna binge on, I prefer my sweeter drinks. We got in, got some drinks, and went downstairs and started watching people dance. The music was hmm so-so, I'm not sure what the big fuss about KK is, it's a nice looking place and all, but nothing really spectacular. The music was a mix of rnb, pop and some technoey stuff, not bad but not always great. The theme was Halloween so a lot of people came dressed up, but I couldn't be bothered. I was surprised at the efforts some people made though: there were quite a few well-costumed vampires, a chewbacca, a bloody ghost, lot of angels/devils, and two girls who turned up in masks and lingerie (it was hot XD) Oh yea and Alex disappeared because he didn't like staying in one place for long and to call him when we wanted to go.
We alternated between downstairs and resting in the middle level a bit, the upper level being way too crowded and consequently way to hot to stay there long. Everyone ran into a lot of friends there, sometimes good sometimes bad, from highschool friends to Liv's ex. But it's always the company that you keep, and Cal and Raye were great company. I think it would be so weird, and probably a bit awkward if it was only Liv and I dancing together, and we'd probably end up leaving early cos we'd get bored, but the guys were there to keep things interesting. There were three small, round platforms on the dancefloor people could get up to dance on, and a few times Cal would make people get down from there so we could get up XD KK also had some dancers that, well, danced :P and fire spinners, that was pretty kool.
When we finished our fun and wanted to go, we called Alex but his phone had run out of batteries completely, and nowhere to be found. We walked back to where he parked the car and found that section was actually a no stopping zone and all the cars around there copped a $60 ticket each. We eventually decided to go back into the club to look for him, and just as we were about to split up and search Liv spotted him near the entrance, and we nabbed him to take us back home, Alex looking a bit more burnt that before. Cal needed to go to the bathroom so I said I'd wait for him while the others went back to the car, sitting on the couches at the entrance next to a half drunk girl and her friend. She put her face really close to mine to look at my face, then turning back to her friend to slur something, then looked back at me and said "I love you" I was really tempted to give her a kiss to see what she would do, but I guess I wasn't really game haha. And also if her friend turned out to be her lesbian lover I don't want my eyes scratched out. So I gave her my glowstick and went out after Cal.
I joined Cal and Raye chatting near the car while Liv and Alex went to 7-11 to get some food. In a bit I got a call from a distraught Liv who said Alex was getting into a scuffle with a taxi driver, and we ran over to 7-11 but the taxi driver was already gone. Apparently Alex was giving the cab weird looks, and the taxi driver yelled "what are you looking at?" which made Alex mad and he went over and hit the bonnet. The taxi driver got out and they both started yelling at each other and Liv got really scared. She started crying and when she calmed down a bit we trekked over to the car and drove off, though I really would've preferred Raye to drive. Alex drove Cal and Raye back to Sunnybank to get their car, and then us back to Paddy. On the way he was asking us "oh, can you spend some time with me smoking and chatting and stuff?" like he had absolutely no clue Liv was scared and had been crying. I got pretty mad, but Liv was half-asleep on my lap in the car so I just told him to drive us home.
So a good night, ended up a little whack. I wouldn't say Liv's judgment of people is bad, but being the sociable person she is, attracts a lot of other people. She doesn't really wanna see him again, but seeing that she really likes going to the lectures he'd be able to find her, and I'm making sure she isn't going to be copping any harrassment from him. On the other hand, that was a hella fun night with Cal and Raye. Next time I want to try find a techno or electronica club, or maybe even trance XD
