Proliferation

I'm currently lying in bed writing this post. It's quite a novel experience. I have a feeling that my neck could be a little bit sore by the end, but we'll see how I go. Lucky for you I'm not naked, or that could be kind of awkward for both of us.

So yesterday I went bed shopping. I would have tested out at least 30 different types of mattresses. I think that I'm definately more of a firm mattress kind of guy as opposed to a softer one. Plus one with reinforced sides is nice too, as it makes propping yourself up in bed a lot easier. Plus it's a whole lot harder to roll out of, which is a good thing. I went with my dad, my job was to test them out, his was to pay for it. We both did our jobs pretty well. The new bed should be here on Thursday. This new bed isn't for me though, it's for my mum. I'm not too sure how I feel about her moving downstairs. I don't know how much peace and quiet there is going to be down there, and it can get pretty chilly with those tiled floors. But then again she doesn't want to have take on the steps, and she doesn't want to be locked away in her room, she wants to be part of the action, so I guess downstairs is the place for her to be.

I went and watched Richard play football again yesterday. Leonie from work had said that she was going to come down too, which she did. She also brought her son Nicholas. I was a little bit worried that there was going to be some inappropriate language yelled out, but thankfully it was pretty tame yesterday. Not like when they played Sunnybank, that was awesome. Sunnybank deserved it though, they were old men. So, yeah, Richard's team got up, but they're not sure if they're in the finals or not. The game yesterday was a good one, it looked tight for a while there, but the Tigers got up in the end.

After the game I went Kangaroo Point for a farewell party for Caron. I wasn't really too sure who would be there, but I was still surprised to see some of the parents there. Not that it wasn't a pleasant surprise, I guess I should have thought about it a little more. I didn't want to tell them that the reason that I wasn't drinking was because I didn't trust my self control at the moment. Apart from the older generation though, I knew no-one at this party. It was a little weird. I'd seen quite a few of them before, as alot of them were in a production that Caron was in. Drama fags. The lot of them. Actually, I didn't mind talking to them too much, because as a whole they are fairly interesting. I was talking to one guy, Michael for quite a while. I was trying to figure out which way he swings, but it was proving to be quite difficult. He was well dressed, well spoken, well travelled. An interesting guy. A little bit effeminate, but not in a camp way. Very much interested in the arts and things. He seemed to have some interesting tales from his past, and apparently his parents don't approve of the way in which he chooses to live his life. He didn't really talk about girls, but he didn't really talk about boys either. He had said that he'd been living with "friends", which was a little ambiguous. I couldn't figure it out, and I didn't really care, I was just intrigued. So I asked Caron as I was leaving and she told me that she thought that he was gay, but apparently he was in love with her. So I'm not too sure how that works, but she is a lovely girl.

So that was pretty much my Saturday. It's now 8:30 on Sunday morning, and I'm looking forward to yum cha for breakfast. There's also a fete on at a local school, and I saw that they have dodgem cars there. I like fetes, and I like dodgems, so that could be a winning combo. I'm going to try and get there at some point. I'm going down the coast with Ria to look at a baby this afternoon. I'm going to try and get down to the beach for a swim too. I think that it'll do me some good.
