E

A week of firsts. I'm bored with being conservative, suppressed and indecisive.

2 minute walk from my apartment. Too easy. Straight pub where the locals hang out for a pot of beer. And yet past the cheap aluminum chairs, beer stained carpets, vinegary Sauv Blanc and locals in daggy shirts, they have the best paellas ever.

You can't say no to a good paella. Crabs, calamari, fish fillets, shellfish on a bed of rice and garlic with dustings of saffron, onions, tomatoes and fresh lemon slices. The rule is never to use the crab crackers - teeth will suffice. And fingers.

Rancid oil on my $99 polo. Yellow saffron seafood stench on your fingers. Washing is futile. But omg my tummy. How do you say no to a third, fourth, fifth serve?

Dxnixl is less sympathetic. He says I'm anorexic and therefore should eat more. My expanding waistline disagrees.

How much for a pill? I don't know these things. But a halfie later and I still feel nothing. Dxnixl reckons another halfie - omg sharing cubicles to pop vitamins is just not cool. The Market is full of str8 women and the men who love them, also many Asians? I can't make out why there are people wearing suits and ties when everyone else is half naked on the dancefloor.

Smoke. Bad music. Body odour. Pills are meant to take those things away, not enhance them! A few cute boys on the dance floor look at me and we exchange glances. I’ve forgotten that feeling for a while now.

4.27am. "I'm PEEEAAAAAKKKINGGGG!!!!", I say to Dxnixl. My first pill ever. A boy finally grows up.

Ida Corr Vs Fedde le Grand. My limbs have gone totally spastic. Dxnixl is loving it too; he sits in a dark corner watching me closely while I'm up on the podium, smelling faintly of calamari, shirt off and jeans hanging off my butt, 'grabbing' laser beams and swinging to the beat. This is alcohol x 100000

Fucking hell.

6.40am. Dxnixl left an hour ago and the effect is waning. I can't walk so I stumble into a blond boy with too much deodorant. Splitting headache. Some random offers me free drinks while we sit in one of the couches for hugs. Four cokes later and he wants me at his place? Bitch.

First tram at 7.34am. How the fuck do I know these things? Fumbling with my phone I manage a call to dxnixl. He's just hopped into bed, waiting for me to come home.

RawHide

RawHide

First time into Chasers and it looks very much like The Market. Dxnixl is more keen than I am to be partying, but I try to make it anyway.

High of 41 degrees. The NYE scorcher has put everyone off wearing clothes (poor cloakroom?). On the dance floor, two men dressed in nothing but jockstraps, their bums bouncing to every beat of Wayne G. Sweat. 'Manly' men who refuse to wear deodorant, some smell heavily of recently ingested amphetamines. Nice.

Trance room is better known as 'Asia'. Every man woman and child here is either Asian or the men who love them. Dxnixl is more keen here than anywhere else (surprise?). My prejudices mean everyone seems bitter and skanky, so I confine myself instead to DJ Dan Murphy and the Crystal Room.

~
More alcohol please.

People around me continue gyrating to even the shittiest music. I'm having trouble with getting onto the beat even after 4 champagnes. MDMA needed? Then a glance of DJ Jimi Harrison?

4.40am and I'm already leaving Dxnixl to the crowd of people. Heading home I bump into Simon/Freddie outside Heaven's Door, and a few hugs later I'm back home on my own with a can of sardines and Indomie before bed in just undies.

Happy New 2008.

往事

我是一个小孩子 ,八年龄;

按老妈的想法是我一毕业就结婚。不过我跟老妈是说三十五之前不讨论婚嫁然后我并不想结婚那么早!结婚是两个人的事千万别受到外界的因素所干扰,格外父母。“如果这些你都考虑清楚了那无论你做出什么样的决定我就同意了”。她接受了吧。我算了算,也就是说我还有二十七之久。那时候好像相当长的时间。。。

哇!妈妈,如果您知道我目前爱着男人,您会原谅我吗?

Tramcar

Tramcar Restaurant

Two drowsy nights, sleeping later and later doing absolutely nothing online. I've been holding up by surviving on my regular chocolate fix and occasional perve at the gym, but otherwise relentlessly kicking for some excitement and unpredictability.

One hundred bucks away, and a tram full of eager-to-be-drunk passengers, I made my way into the dimly lit space. Marcs shirt, cheesy $10 jeans and a dollop of Issey, I felt like I was worth $1mil.

Dips to start off the evening with the homophobic chef and half a dozen screaming queens sipping away at the cheap Chardonnay and watered-down vodka-on-ice. The streets outside seemingly glide across the windows like moving portrait on the wall. Sweet. Looking out at the people walking on the pedestrian pathways along High St, I’m suddenly reminded of Howl’s moving castle.

Playing with the four forks and three knives on the table in front of me, I realise that they are, in fact, the same length. So much for the 'fine dining' experience. Even the plates are the same diameter.

The couple next to us feels the jitters as we go about our flamboyant conversations across the length of the tram. We're having a good time at the expense of others. How rewarding! We should crash more parties like this next time.

The boyfriend takes photos of me on his camera, with the wrong exposure, wrong ISO, wrong aperture size, and wrong focus. I look like a fuzzy monster, illuminated from the back.

5-minute stopover at Albert Park. Group photo. Everybody smiles naturally except me; I look like a prostitute with my sly posture. I'm so out of sync after the four glasses of chardy and two champy, one Bourbon-on-ice and a sip of red from the boyfriend's glass. Chalks is feeling unwell; his head is as hot as a hotpot. Taxi home for the poor boy. Wish he could stay longer and get drunk together.

Back on the tramcar and we're having Cognac that tastes like jet-fuel. I can tell the waiter is starting to get pissed because we keep swapping seats around the tram. Its fun. Straight men just don’t get it.

Old couple opposite us are really starting to lose their nerve. Sorry for the gay-gestures, we can't help it. Especially the old shriveled lady, she's over it now, playing with her dessert while her husband looks on. Yes, go on, dig deeper into that pudding of yours, bitch.

Harder, I said.

She jolts her knife into the pudding and crushes it. Good girl.

The Peel. How did we end up here? Dancing trashily on the dance floor I attract no attention. My Aquilla's are cutting into my heels as I dance to Dannii. I can't remember anything else.

Soon before I know it I'm sitting on the couch at home. How did I get here?

Happy birthday to the boyfriend.
