Memories

I had a combine birthday party to go to on Saturday night. Both of the birthday girls were my high school friends and alot of the people attending were also from high school. It was great to catch up with some of the girls since I haven't seen some of them since graduation. It's great to see how people have grown up and the path they have taken. We had people who were eye doctors (Yes I tried to score a free laser eye surgery session but my charm just wasn't working), child care workers, marketing, Primary School Teacher and a DJ. It was great being able to catch up with them especially since some of them left in Year 10 and I haven't seen them for 8 years! This time I did the smart thing and started gathering email addresses and contact numbers and hopefully we will keep in touch again.

I was fascinated with some of the things they have done since leaving high school. The friend that does Marketing got called to a "conference" up in the central coast where they housed them up in a resort for a few days with unlimited alcohol and they were greeted by fire eaters, dancers and drummers when they first arrived at the resort. They spent the rest of the "conference" doing group bonding exercises like drinking and playing pool.

Another of my friends went and travelled throughout Europe and spent most of the night chatting away with one of the girls in French. There is, of course, my Sperm Technician best friend who amused us with various sperm stories *cough* during dinner *cough**cough*. There was the story of the testicular operation where they cut certain things open and poke them with needles and other stuff *Cough*. Of course there was other stories that involved infertility, child deformity and other wonderous, light dinner topics. *Cough* Thanks babes.

Its ashame that the most of the topics involved career and work and we didn't get a chance to talk about other things in our lives. But I guess most "first reunions" are like that. Anyway, me being me, I ended up informing everyone to the wonders of Mango Beer at LB so we've decided to have another get together when I'm back from overseas for a bit of Mango Beering. :D

We also had a house warming for one of the birthday girls on Sunday who now lives 5mins from my house. She threw a spectacular Dinner party where I earned my feed by helping to assemble her bed. I'm quite proud of myself for being able to make sense of the "instructions" provided and got pretty close to finishing the bed. Of course, food came first so maybe I'll go back another day and help out :D

Oh.....I also spent a great deal of time on Saturday either finishing work at home or reinstalling my computer as my baby got fux0red after installing the VPN access onto it. >_< Luckily for ghost images. Woohoo!
