Kat's Birthday

It was this girl's birthday.

Strictly speaking it wasn't her exact birthday, but you know.
We seem to find ourselves eating at Sofia's a lot. I guess it's convenient since it's pretty low key and also Italian food is horrible for your health and delicious.
The night was pretty fun, catching up with everyone and how they're going is really good. It's nice we still get nights to meet up. Seems like everybody pretty much hates Uni. Well, I certainly do. Actually not really. But I do admittedly harbour some (most likely extremely noticeable) resentment towards those who love Uni. If you tell me you love everything about Uni, I will punch you in the face.

Don't get me wrong, I don't regret going to Uni at all. Sometimes I catch myself unaware actually enjoying some aspects of it, and I have to shake myself back to reality.
I guess Uni's just really boring. It's so unengaging, especially business. I am not business minded at all. I cannot imagine becoming a businessman in the future, it's so dry and tedious.

Anyway, back to the night. We basically just ate and chatted away so here are some funny photos for your personal amusement at the expense of those in the photos.

Here's some garlic bread. I love this stuff, I could eat it for the rest of my life. 
Hah and I still wonder why people don't talk to me.

Sometimes people take my camera to snap some photos and I end up with a ton of random, sometimes extremely uncomfortably weird photos on my computer.
I'm not saying this is a bad thing - since I'm a lazy person.
I'm too lazy to put in all the effort of asking people to turn around, pose, and then stay still for a while until I've decided I have enough photos of them standing in awkward positions.
The upside of this is that I end up with some nice, candid and really funny photos.
The downside of this is that I end up with no actual 'nice' photos of people.

For example, when I get home from the night of Katrina's birthday I copy the photos onto my computer and I find some really strange pictures.
Like people eating lemons.

I made a GIF of it because there were so many pictures just of people eating lemons.

...like, what?

 

After dinner we gave the birthday girl her presents + cake.

And we also ordered GELATO which is my favourite. If you know me, then you know that I live for ice cream.

What's this you say about caring about public appearances?
Judith made this custom photo booklet for Kat, it was pretty sick.

Group photo shot.

We parted ways around 9 - 10-ish. Selina and I decided to desperately try and catch the last showing of the Hunger Games. This is around the time when the hype surrounding the Hunger Games was ridiculously huge. We walked all the way to Syndal Station from Sofia's and then caught a train to Glen Waverley.

The film was pretty good; I thought the casting was pretty spot on. I guess having read the book beforehand has it's advantages and disadvantages; the plot is spoiled, but you understand the little details that no-one else does.

 

Here's a photo of Selina talking to her imaginary friends. They're the only people that'll listen to her.

Jess' Birthday

It was Jess' birthday.

Met up with Judie at Oakleigh Station, it's closer for both of us. Here are some of the prizes she won from an artist called Mall who had a free prize draw, they're amaaaazing.

I still can't believe Judie won, what're the odds. HOW UNBELIEVABLY LUCKY.

You can see more of them on Judie's blog here and visit Mall's blog here.

We all got there a bit early so we could ambush Jess. It didn't exactly go as planned.
Just imagine a group of strange looking, Asian teenagers springing out of the bushes, running haphazardly towards one lone Asian. Like a pack of wolves. When they get there, they don't know what to do with this lone Asian, so they form an extremely awkward circle and give her disjointed, half-hearted pushes for an indeterminate period of time.

Oh and by "there" I mean the Botanical Gardens.

There's a nice shot of Caf. Imagine David Attenborough saying something along the lines of "And here we see Cathlene in her natural habitat.".

And here's the birthday girl.

We are so classy.Afterwards we just chilled in the park - played an interesting people game. Can't remember the name of though. It was kinda like a messed up version of 20 Questions. And I won't even try to explain it here, since people who were actually there in person still didn't understand it.Look at these poor ducks. I'm not an expert on ponds but I'm pretty sure that can't be good for the ducks or whatever living creatures still remaining in the pond.

Pleasant surprise waiting for me when I got home...

Judie made us get home late! We took the wrong line, even though I swear both the signs and the announcer said "Cranbourne" and as a result ended up in some weirdo suburb named Balaclava.

It was totes weird man.

Apparently there's a suburb called Officer somewhere down in the south-east of Melbourne. What an awesome name for a suburb. Beats Oakleigh any day.
