weekend update...without tina fey or amy poehler.

first things first- i just witnessed a fight!! of all places ( considering the amount of time spent in the bars/clubs of kuta!) it was in the internet cafe that we go to!! i dont know what it was about because i dont speak bloody french, but i saw a guy walking towards me and hear another one yelling stuff at him then i see the other person run up behind him and whip him around and HEAD BUTT hIM! they started like full on brawling and three other foreign guys jumped up an ran over to pull them apart right before they went over the ledge of the balcony to the meat store below!!!!! imprtant side note- they were old. second important side not- within five minutes they were hugging it out....what the hell????

so saturday was a bust in my opinion- and i know that i should learn to love being a lone blah blah, but still- its like whenever you want to be alone ( which i do actually want a lot of the time!!) there are always people around and you cannot get it. but when you are not in the mood to stew around in your own head, that is innevitably when everyone you know falls off... miraculously i wasnt faced with hangover death on saturday and actually felt quite good and ready to do something fun saturday- last saturday night with me and jon and mel all being here together!!

but mel had had to work saturday and that kinda killed her so she fell asleep at nine pm. yeah nine. jon was going on a date and insisted that we would meet up after and nick was also on a date. ( notice that i did not put 'date' because these were actually dates, without the need for mockery or 'supposed' inclinations.) so i waited. in my bored waiting i txtd/called everyone on i know ( well in the same time zone at leasT!) desperate for something to do- even someone to talk to for like five minutes. and literally NOTHING. everyone i know ignored me. shady business ( ps its not like i know a lot of people!!)

so yeah, at like 12 30 jon lets me know that meeeting up will not be happening * yeah no kidding* so after reading almost my whole book i sourly went to bed. dont get me wrong, being alone can be nice and sometimes staying at home on a saturday night is physically so attractive it hurts but not that night. that night i felt scorned and lonely....booo....

but i woke up sunday feeling much better and it was actually a fantastic day! we drove down to uluwatu- the surfers paradise beach. we had meant to go to balangan which is apparently three beaches before, but we were with jay and zando and they were a litttle confused! so we ended up scoping out dreamland, which i am infatuated with. punch me cus i didnt bring my camera. but mel did so i can get some pics from her! in the meantime i am going to cheat and include some i found on the internet just to show how amazing this place is!! hey at least im honest about it;)

we drove b ack down to balangan which was so relaxing ( nice not to be hassled to buy sarongs and t shirts and other wooden items of little use!) the sand was white down there, but really coarse, like completely coral. the water was warm and the waves were small but the bottom was rock-like coral, mossy and slippery and covered in unideintifiable creatures!! so we had fun freaking eachother out and trying to stay in low crouched positions without drowning or stepping on the slimy rocks!

that was the furthest i have gone on my motorbike alone- just have to mention that i will forever want to be on a motorbike. its the best. and my scar is looking beautiful:)

also like to point out that on the beach there was a shack selling food and we had soup and banana pancakes and i ate some and liked it. yeah. LIKED IT!:)

on our way home we stopped at double six beach for the fire and drum show but the impeding rain had scared off most of the ddrummers. but jay and moon and everyone were down there playing fire so we bought beers and sat on the beach watching the sun do down and the fire twirling! i made a video of mel...idk if it will work on here but i will try- oh wait no its on my phone...hmmm i will work on that!

we also all went for a night swim - which normally is like pure terror to me- especially last night since the moon was virutally non existant hiding behind clouds so the water was pitch black and melted back into the horizon, seamlessly creating a velvety dark vastness. the only thing you could see was the crests of the waves as they broke, but you couldnt see anything until the wave was upon you and crshing!! but i sukced it up and made myself do it and it was amazing!!! oh yeah- the other beacon of light was jons naked white butt...he took off his underwear and was body surfing in the buff- he kept trying to aim for people and we would scramble away terrified of having his uncle dick and the twins too close for comfort!!


more fire and a late dinner later we all said goodbye to jay ( off to india today for a while) and made it home around 1 or so. one of those days that you just can stop thanking someone for making possible:)
