I went to dinner with my girlfriends last nite at Rodica's on Church St, Parramatta. I had this mushroom risotto...it was so yum...the cheese...i salivate!
hehehheehe
We sat there while my best friend gave commentary to all her Contiki Europe fotos...she had so much fun. Somewhere along the line i noticed that she blossomed on the trip - Hooray! to her...i've been waiting for that day...hehehe...and she couldnt stop talking about the hot tour guide they had in Belgium - he was half English and German...he is a spunk and a half...but just not my type...kekeke...she has this awesome shot of him though...visuals always help!
=)
Apparently some guy friends from high school were gonna turn up too, although after the basketball game they went to watch at Homebush...so we sat at the restaurant until they came up to meet us.
A little side tracking here: My best friend...she went to my high school until year 10, and then she left and went to a selective school...so she has a second circle of friends...its sorta funny...she use to be worried that the two circles wouldnt mesh...but from example of last nite...i think its silly that she ever felt that way.
Two friends from her selective high school joined us at Mars Hill Cafe (also on Church St, just after Cold Rock Ice Creamery), a girl and a guy. The girl I have met a couple of times and to be honest, since we bump into each other at concerts all the time, we get along like a house on fire! She has promised to try and get me free tix for the Pete Murray concert (she has connections)...so i can sell my tix off to someone who wants to join us on that Saturday nite!
;)
Okay, back to the rest of the blog: So we go to Mars Hill...to me, its like an equilavent to Brown Sugar, the employees are all friendly and nice...relaxed and the atmosphere is so down to earth...*ahhh* The menu comes in the form of a little booklet in a CD case...hehehe...and they have the most funkiest coffee/non coffee drinks around. If u ever get the chance to pop in...I have been informed that u must try the "Celtic Grog" which comes in a funky chalice...be sure to stir it.
I had a drink called the "De-mint"...it usually comes in a coffee version...but since i dont drink coffee...they made me a non-coffee version...and it was yum-diddly-scrumptious. I like that sort of refreshing minty taste...and the drink i had was like an Iced Mint Slice (yes the Arnott's biscuit) and they actually pop a mint slice into the bottom of the drink, as well as some blended into the drink.
This cafe has an upstairs section, and my friend said that they usually hold poetry readings and live music. They have a camera in the upstairs facing the stage, which is shown live to the people down stairs. There is a game shelf, where u will find Taboo, Scrabble, Trivia Pursuit, cards, and some other games in which i cant remember...hehheehe
There is this separate small room with bean bags and a booth seat...thats where we went into first, cos there was a live band playing in the main upstairs area...it was cosy...we fit 15 ppl in it...but since yesterday was a stinking hot day, we all hussled out to the main upstairs area when the live performance ended! *LoL*
But while in that cosy room with lava lamps and all...we had a crack up for all times...I cant remember the last time i laughed-out-loud-so-hard-almost-peed-in-my-pants like that...the other times: would be at a cook out or in E's car while going somewhere like filming, dinner, Harry's, movies...etc.
Side tracking again: There was this time E was driving L and i to Harry's after a film shoot at Usyd...it was the famous "Kidney scene". As we drove to Harry's we must have been high on the craziness of that shoot...we just couldnt stop laughing...when we got to Harry's i think E nearly choked on his food...we get back into the car after eating and L closed the door on her jeans...(not noticing that she did)...so were driving along and we end up going for a joyride to the Cross, cos E wants to film some hookers on the streets. This is another insane part...E is like daring L to scream out "how much?" and obscene things like "i want pussy!"
She does this as any diligent partner in crime would, as it was nothing new to the both of them...but here i am witnessing it all over again, after a while of not hearing it...it would have probably been a good 6 months since we did a film session and grabbed a bite to eat like that...im in the back seat of the car pissing myself laughing and slouching in my seat as L is screaming the obscenities...
Then L tried to move her left leg but she realises that her jeans are caught in the car door...and she has been secretly trying to get her jeans free but has not managed to do so. Then E and i find out and were like "what are u doing?" E is like "u look like ur having a fit" and she tells him to stop the car without an explanation...and she opens the door to set her leg and jeans free...at this point E couldnt even drive properly and i was having an asthma attack (close to, not literally) cos i was laughing so hard.
Okay, it may not sound hilariously funny as i relay this to u now, u just had to be there, or know either E or L...actually just know E...and u would fully understand! ;)
Back to my review of Saturday nite...I had an awesome evening, last nite...great company and a lot of laughs...it has really surprised me that the guy friends from high school are now making the effort of keeping in touch. im taken aback and i really appreciate that effort! so cheers to them! =)
A friend who said he had a blast on Valentine's dinner/KoK...had asked me if i enjoyed myself at the group outing. and the truth is, I had more fun last nite than i did at Valentine's dinner. KoK was fun after dinner that nite, i enjoyed myself far more then dinner...but dinner itself wasnt so enjoyable as it could have been.
