wastrel

this is how you will spend/waste your friday:

stay in bed until 1330. it's allowed because you're a grown up

while in bed until 1330, spend too long looking at photobomb and snickering to yourself

have a shower. get dressed

go to the video store. find a copy of 'i could never be your woman' and do a little dance of pure happiness while clasping the dvd to your chest. the cute boy who has been casting looks in your direction will see this

leave the video store at the same time as the cute boy. exchange glances again as you get into your cars parked side by side. at the same time you turn the key, your wet converse sneaker will slip off the accelerator. the corona will stall in a spectacular fashion, jerking backwards. at the same time your head will jolt forward onto the steering wheel, blatting the horn. the boy is still looking. abandon your dignity now, and peel out of the video ezy parking lot

wander into the woollies, and mutter to yourself as you cast aimlessly around because you can't remember what you went there for. look up, right into the eyes of the cute doctor you had the biggest most painful crush in the world on about eighteen months ago. luckily your basket only contains dishwasher tablets, not condoms/tampons/laxatives/worming tablets/medicinal creams. try to make sparkling conversation as your wander around the muesli bars and chips together, and thank your lucky stars you decided against the trackies and the chainsawing boots. wind up having a conversation that involves the phrase "it's NOT a toomah!" it could be worse. it could have been better, but you'll settle for it not being worse

come home, get back into bed, turn the blanket onto 3 and watch 'i am legend'. enjoy feeling of gratitude to self that you said 'legend' not 'leg-end' to the doctor. not that it matters. the days where you had nicknames for each other on the ward are in a land far far away. with your grace and dignity, presumably, because they've been absent for a while

cook chooken and chups for the fambily for the dinners. drink some coke zero. drink some more of it. not too much though, alright?

once you fulfill your date with destiny and watch 'i could never be your woman' with bajoolies, that'll be all you can crowbar into the day

absolutely no room for making pikelets to take to big river town. none whatsoever
