I've never been at one with the rave party. Just really wasn't ever my thing. Don't get me wrong, I like dance music but haven't ever really been to a dedicated dance party until the weekend...
I was with three girlfriends down in Melbourne on the weekend, when one convinced us to go to Betterdaze at Carousel in Albert Park. It started at 1, and thank god we didn't get there till 5pm. After an hour of watching people dance like idiots, girls dressed like they work at Coyote Ugly and boys in muscle singlets, I was thinking to myself "Fuck a duck, another 6 hours of this... I'm not sure I can cope."
But then something happened... maybe it was the million red bulls we drank, or the pack of cigarettes we smoked but I found myself heading to the dance floor. We owned that dance floor, busting out moves I actually didn't even know I had, one in particular and I even named it -"gyration for the nation." It involves a strut followed by intense thrusts of the hips, coupled with choreographed hand placement.
Then it dawned on me, I was now one of these idiots and loving it.
We ended up having THE BEST time, dancing till midnight, watching random hook ups, including one of the girls who kissed a guy we called BB (bad breath, he had somehow forgotten to eat which resulted in a severe case of halatious).
These are the rules I recommend living your life by... Don't judge anyone until you know their story and dance like no one is watching. Idiots really do have more fun.
P.s what is it with siblings thinking that because they bought the card then they don't need to contribute to a present?? PETER?

What a Whopper...
It surprises me how much information people will put on Stalkbook. To date, I have learnt many things... My cousin and her boyfriend broke up, a "friend" got engaged in Fiji, Marc washes his hair on a Thursday, Jenny can't cope blah blah blah...
From my previous posts you may have read about the Sunday Night eviction I am holding on Facebook to remove "friends" that aren't really my friends.
Well, so far only one has been removed - but believe me there are plenty more to come, especially after this was sent to me. Burger King has come up with the most ingenious plan, see below link.
http://www.whoppersacrifice.com/
This is basically is a program you download, remove 10 friends and you are rewarded with a free Whopper! So far 12,070 people have been sacrificed which leads me to believe that given the choice if you had to cut me as a friend for a whopper - you would. No questions asked. "Remove friend" Hello burger goodness.
Let's face it, that burger will probably give you more satisfaction in the 20 secs it takes to eat it than someone sitting in your friends list.
At the moment it is only open to US residents but Come On Australia! - Burger King/Hungry Jacks or whatever you are called now get your act together and let me be rewarded for ditching friends.
Social Marketing at its best I say...

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, Its Off To The Shops We Go...
Not sure if you realised but Christmas is over... time to take down the tree and remove those hideous lights that you have covering your house. Time to reflect on what a wonderful life we have and what a great day was shared in the sun with family and friends. Time to hit the sales...
I love shopping, I love everything about it but was it just me, or did anyone else notice most of the shops had things on sale before Christmas?! What a disappointment. I guess the old GFC (global financial crisis) is hitting everything. If Kevin Rudd wanted to boost the economy he should have given that $1,000 to every 23-28 year old women, because god knows I would have dropped that in about 30 secs. But seriously, I feel like everything is in crisis these days... financial crisis, employment crisis, housing crisis. Why now, does the world have to deny me of a good sale and put me in a bargain crisis!?
I had to quench my shopping thirst so made the mistake of heading out to DFO yesterday. After spending 1.5 hours trying to get into the Oroton store, something dawned on me - I am over it?? I am over the thrill of having something reduced from $295, down to $150 only to have 50% knocked off again at the cash register? Well after being elbowed by an Asian woman I was seriously starting to think so.
After getting out of there I was driving home when i noticed a little shoe shop in Mosman. And after walking out with the cutest pair of flats for $30, I knew that fire was still in me.
I've always said, people who say money can't buy you happiness clearly doesn't know where to shop.
2009 people, keep your heads up high, and when your down... just dance
