This afternoon I got back my first film from Wednesday. It turned out really good, so hopefully the second one (which isn't used up yet) will too.

Today I was in Dandenong doing some bargain shopping. Picked up a 48 CD wallet for $7, then found some sketchbooks which weren't priced.
Asked a girl who worked in the shop how much it was.
She said, 'I remember you!'
'Did you go to Chandler Secondary College?' I asked her, since I went there for three years, and it's in the Dandenong area.
'No,' she said. 'You're the guy who was looking for boxes!'
'I ... don't think so,' I said. 'I've never been in this shop before. I don't even live in Melbourne.'
'Oh okay. You must just look like 'im.'
'So do you know how much it is?'
'Nah. Ask the lady out the front.'

Went up to the Pool Room with friends from my second high school, Fairhills High School.
Played a couple of games of pool. Lost both, but not too badly. Had a Bundy and cola, which is unusual for me because I rarely drink alcohol at all.
Spent most of the night trying to keep Cookie away from Tash (Wob's ex) who was getting pretty irritated at him, being pretty drunk, being all over her. Eventually he was led off by some other distraction, and I talked to Tash for a while about why she was down, and about Ballarat, becasue she wants to move there.
At one stage this guy called from Fairhills called Jasper came over. We didn't get along well. He was always giving me dirty looks, and making sure he knocked me whenever he walked past. Apparently he was really unpopular when he came to the school, and he seemed to reckon he was real good because of the people he hung out with. Anyway, he kept saying over and over again, 'Man you look so f***ing different! F***!'
And there was this girl going around asking is she could sign everyones' arms.
Walked home with Shaun and Phil. On the way my cousin Elena pulled over and asked us where she and her friends could get alcohol, because by this stage it was past midnight, and thus ANZAC [holi]day.
And now I am back home.
