Lots of stuff

Hello! I am supposed to be working but there is fuck all I can do - I can't finish the post-show stats until Ariadne wakes her sleepy head up, and I can't enter forms because to do that I need to be in the other room and there are two comedians asleep on the floor. Hungover, probably. Tsk. (The fact that I also have the motherfucker of all hangovers is irrelevant. Wine is nice. Yum.)

So, a few things:
1 - Sian, Fliss and Morag are my A-Team Angels. They have put my mind at a lot more rest with the whole horrible flat situation (there are friends-only posts re this) I owe them flowers or whisky or pie or something marvellous. We stood in our yuppie blah Australian kitchen feeling all warm and loved that we still have friends that come to our aid even though we are the other side of the world. So very very homesick and can't wait to see everyone.

2 - We're going on holiday! As mentioned earlier, we have comedians on the floor. For 3 weeks. More than our little heads can stand. Dave was going to give them some money and send them on holiday for the weekend-y bit in between shows. I said hang on, if you're going to do that, why don't you send us on holiday instead? We're nice. And one thing became another thing, cakes were baked and we all danced round in a circle, and the upshot is: Tomorrow (Sunday) we're taking Dave's car and his tent and driving off into the Sunshine Coast Hinterland (that's Aussie for outback) We will return on Wednesday morning, having been paid for Tuesday. On the middle night of our 3-night adventure, we will be staying here courtesy of Dave.

EDIT: Wow I just manage to put a cool linky thing in! All by myself! I rock.

Noice. So, we're going to have lots of chilling and thinking and stuff. It's going to be a sort of retreat thing, Ari can get some writing done and I can too, for point no 3 of this broadcast:

3 - I have a comedy gig!! 20th of June! Agh! I thought I'd take the plunge. I have no idea what I'm doing. He-e-elp!

Oh my head.

Tonight we are supposed to be going on a Gay Date with little Justin (from the department of same) This is goign to sound sadder than I mean it, but he's are only real friend here...that's not true. He's our only friend of a certain type. THe only one who resembles proper people. He's cool. Last Saturday he came round for soup and spliffs and we promised to teach him to cook. Tonight we're supposed to be going out on the town. We haven't done that in years.

God we're such old women.

Love and Pie

What is a Gay Date?
Why is it capitalised?

Oh just because I'm sad. Supposedly a date to gay places. With all the gayness. In actual fact we were all far too tired so he just came over late and the two reprobates smoked evil things (I didn't because I actually had to be woken up for this escapade and figured that sleep inducing things were a BAD idea. I drank very sugary tea, instead and occasionally went 'ah' when I could muster the energy to talk.) When we do go a a gaydate (perhaps it should be one word rather than capitalised. It's to do with the way I say it. Damned writing) we're going to go round gay bars and play pool and dance and we will be the most beautiful lesbians there - Brisbane lesbians are scary mofos.

I really can't get away with saying mofo, can I?

Hah hah! I just found a sneaky way of editing comments as I forgot to close a bracket and that infuriated me. So I just copied the message text, deleted the comment (which you can do) then pasted the comment and closed the bracket. I rule.

Good luck with da gig...you'll be fabulous. Well, that's not true. You might be shit but I'm sure Ari will still love you. Unless you're really shit in which case no-one will love you and you'll die miserable and alone. But hopefully not.

Love you...

Oh my god darlings! That's horrible. That man is evil! Bastard! (would carry on email rant but sound as good as me shouting at the computer...) I'm so sorry I didn't get Marc involved via proxy - I don't sign in usually, so only knew there was a problem when you mentioned it on non-friends stuff. I hope it worked out ok - let me know if you need the loan of a scary looking ginger man. I asked him re the flat but sounds like you're sorted anyway - he couldn't afford the festival let. Hope your hangover is better.
Lots of Love,
Naomi

Hi Lizzie,

If I can turn some of Mac's material into passable amusement, then I can help you be funny too. Email me with your script and I can help you fine-tune.

P.S. Mac never actually performed the passable version of much of what I changed.

Ashley, remind me next time I see you to tell you the latest, and funniest Mac story.

Lizzie, I'll tell you as a reward when you return.
