it happened I fell more than a year behind
worst blogger ever award goes to yours truly
so today; not Ed as in me, but Ed as in Ed Sheeran
right after I get home from Wilson's I have like 2 hours to sleep before I have to get up a 4am to head off to the city
because Ed Sheeran is apparently going to be in Melbourne on Sunrise outside Crown so I got dragged along by Selina + her uni friend Angela
c a n ' t w a i t . . . y a y
I am not the biggest Ed Sheeran fan but they totally are
worth waking up at 4am and getting to the city by 5:30? you bet !
the sun was rising over the skyline as we got there
I was like dang can't believe I'm up this early
Ed got there some time or other and was waiting off to the side with like the crew and security
I completely relate to that one guy yawning
look at him peering around haha
the whole experience of being on TV seems so like alien and artificial from the outside
like all the staff and cameras and lighting and makeup and crew
fun fact I have never been awake early enough to watch Sunrise
was this actually Sunrise? is that a thing? what channel is it on? I don't know
anyway the interview concluded and he didn't play anything like we (well not me but us, well, them, you know what I mean) had thought so he was whisked away and people swarmed him like it was crazy
if you've ever seen a celebrity being swarmed by people you know how insane it is like security trying to keep people away and everybody pushing each other
so basically between the massive horde of people + security is was impossible to get near him unless you were willing to literally shove and push everybody out of your way
and we were
not
therefore these were the closest images I got of him haha
I didn't even do it for me ay dios mio
it was complete chaos and it was only really like a 20-30 metre distance to the entrance of Crown, he got trapped outside the entrance like maaan I felt bad even trying to get close so I barely bothered
anyways Selina and Angela really wanted a photo with Ed Sheeran so we hung around Crown where he was doing another interview
there were also other people doing the same thing
it was like Mission: Ed Sheeran or some shit
guess what! in Crown we randomly saw Hamish coming out of an elevator with only a bath robe on for whatever reason
that was p. cool
then we went to have breakfast at some place around Crown
tip: don't ever buy stuff
wait lemme rephrase that
breakfast in the city is overpriced and you will probably still be hungry afterwards
we hung around the city some more, these guys had like the inside scoop on what was going on
the intel
Ed was like going around the city today doing some secret shows and press whatevers
so it was literally like tracking him or whatever
wandered around the new Emporium and H&M to kill time, I actually bought some stuff
shame that H&M isn't at the same cheaper price range that it is in its home country tho, same happened with Zara
oh well they have some alright stuff in there
we went to Hu Tong Dumplings, it's pretty popular and rated highly so it's always busy, but we managed to get a table because someone hadn't showed up to their booking
and we ordered plenty of stuff to go around once we got inside
today was super tiring, lots of walking and I was sleep deprived af but
it was also kinda fun, anyways got to get some other stuff done too so

GUESS WHAT I'M BACK
I'm trying to not fall more than a year behind blogs, so it's like a snails race with myself to see how incompetent I am
kind of like the gray vs red bar on youtube kinda thing
in an ideal world I would actually be up to date with blogging but you know c'est la vie we can't always get what we want can we nope
today we celebrated Wilson's 20th birthday laidback style (at his own request) and so we had a
I'm weirdly proud of that gif
speaking of gifs there will be many in this post
you'll see
so Judie & I arrived at Jess' house, the sun was setting
the view's pretty nice you can see the city
& we headed on in and err'body was getting ready to make us some tacos
but ONE THING
as we looked around Judie noticed the meat and she was all like "has the meat been seasoned beforehand" and everybody was all like "nope" and it was an unredeemable tragedy and the night was ruined and nobody ever ate tacos again
okay you're right that didn't happen, instead we went out to Woolies and bought some more ingredients to do tacos the right way
in the meantime those left behind were struggling to open jars
and eating nachos
the taco team
we headed over to another section of the house to use another stove (I forgot if this is the neighbours' part of the same house or not, or if it was another house) because we weren't cooking fast enough for all our hungry bellies and we needed food in us like, now
the return of the duck hoodie
these guys playing Settlers of Catan
I've not played this game yet
it looks scary and strategic. well, mainly it just looks strategic and that scares me because I have no concept of forward planning
Wilson mashing up avocados with a pair of kitchen scissors
and yea the tacos were finally ready, so we sat around and dug in
oh but first Wilson and I ran over to his house to use the oven because Jess' oven was kaput and we needed to heat up these taco shells like really badly
and we played with our food making duck faces
Pringles are the bomb no joke
this version of the duck face includes food so it's obviously a much better version of it
well except for the next photo, that's a really bad version of it
Judie made these heart cupcakes, it's a new avant garde version of a normal cake where it's divided into equal portions before cooking
I don't know what I'm saying I just noticed that if you look at the next photo it kinda looks like one cake with a bunch of candles in it
one multicellular cake
amoeba cake
right? no? okay
wait before we get to the cake lemme backtrack a bit to this moment:
Caf and I tried to emulate one of those Awkward Family Photos
feat. my bad Photoshop
sorry, it was taking too long to Photoshop it and I was like "TOO LAZY UGH"
I thought I'd add a fake background to make it more accurate
but here's how it really went down
uhhhhh
yea
so we lit the cake and got Heiman to fetch Wilson from the couch where he was having a little grandpa snooze
it's important as we age to look after our health
Judie's "SUCCESS" face
Heiman was lying on the floor barking at Jazz
this is a transcript of how the conversation went:
Heiman: [strange dog voice] "uauaaRARA"
Everybody: stops talking because there was a weird noise and it could be an axe murderer or god knows what strange thing
Heiman: "raurraaraRAAARARA"
-everyone realises Heiman is the source of the weird noises-
Caf: "oH MY GOD THAT SCARED ME...oh mY GOOOOO-"
-people start talking again-
Wilson: "no paparazzi pls"
another successful heart cupcake
and now begins the GIFs
wherein a certain percentage of the participants were sober and a certain percentage were questionably sober and well we just went from there
and now some group shots
I really feel the need to focus on one individual person at a time
sombrero
and we ended the night trying our darndest hardest to make all signs of our necks disappear
I personally reckon Wynne won this competition LOL
but there were all kinds of chins happening, double chin, triple chin, 10 chins, 100 man chin army, you name it, it's in that gif
and thus ended our taco party
"Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow."
- Shakespeare (& me), on the subject of tacos (probably)

P.S. I apologise if this blog entry is the most bizarre and unnecessary thing you've ever read the lesson learned is don't blog on 3 hours of sleep
