Different forms of fun

So,

Blurple. Tried my first 2 yaegerbombs (how do you spell that?). Good music, people, dancing and fun. Nuff said. Took the morning 5.15am train home with Martyn, Phil and Jeffery. Hey, I pulled my first all-nighter and slept in for once in my life. The night out was enjoyable, but brekkie at 2pm was totally the highlight.

Korean dinner for Viv's birthday celebration. I've said this before, but there's something warming about hanging with Viv, Vicky and Isabel. Old friends. An ease? A comfortable awkwardness in catching up and finding things to talk about. I can't describe it. A reassuring sense that they know you, at least better than most others, after having spent so much time together. More music and dancing at Scarlett Saturdays. Was it worth that $27 entry though? Just.

Yum Cha lunch with Mum&Dad's lifegroup. A table of 10 kids. 2 girls, 8 boys. Year 9s, Year 11s, Year 12s and me. Laughed much more than expected. Ordered endless amounts of food to increase everyone's finger depiction of their fullness scale. Made a sesame seed heart, stuffed my face with mochi ice-cream & egg tarts, got peer pressured into eating a cube of jelly (by KIDS!), added a tea leaf moustache & goatee to a chilli sauce face on a napkin, joked about the greedy glint in the waitresses' eyes as they pushed food onto our table hoping to take advantage of the insatiable appetites of youth... Basically acted shamelessly like a 15 year old. And loved every moment.

Dreading the day that I get too old for this. Or become someone who thinks they're too cool for this.

Enjoying the best of "young adult partying" fun and "childish silly" fun.
Me.
