it's been a long day, put in some hardcore hours at autistic central, bones weary, need sleep, but on my way home my phone rang, a very old friend called from the pub at the end of my street and asked me to join her for a drink.
i hate drinking, i hate pubs, i hate going out and i generally would decline but this happened to be my oldest friend in australia and i figured it was about time we caught up, so when i get there her and her friend have drunk 2 bottles of champagne already, one decides to interigate me about various opinions which i give, the first was my reasons for being in australia, and secondly asking what i don't like about australia, almost immediatly i am attacked, i am called an asshole, and told to fuck off, illustrating another reason why i don't like australian culture, the conversation goes something like this,
'so why are you here?'
'cos i have a son here.'
'use fucking asshole, why don't ya go back to england.'
'cos i have a son here.'
'don't use like awestrailia or sumfing.'
'there's parts i like and parts i don't.'
'youse a fucking asshole.'
'why'
'saying you don't like it here'
'i never said that.'
'whats wrong with it'
'it may be easier if i tell ya whats right with it.
incoherent mumbbling
'its an easy lifestyle, the weather, the beach, the indigionous culture'
'fuck use.'
ect

anyways later my friend and i walked down memory lane, she reminded me of a few things i had been involved in when i was doing work with street kids, it's funny at the time i figured the whole thing was an industry, we didn't really do anything except keep it's wheels turning and then in the last few years a few strangers have stopped me on the streets and thanked me for looking after them, yeah i don't even recognise them, but they recognise me.
later the other girl restarted her attack upon me,
'yous an asshole, Fuck off.'
'is there something wrong with your brain?'
'what yous mean, yous just being derogitory.'
'actually i was asking you if there is something wrong with your brain.'
'fuck off.'
'well its just that you are very aggressive to me, you don't listen to what i say, i make a statement and you misrepresent it, so i was wondering if you have some sort of defective brain.'
'fuck off.'
'mmm okay well i was just being friendly.'
the girls were really pissed and i had to drive them home.
