monkey bites....

some inquiring minds asked about the monkey bite reference. i think i forgot to mention it on here, because, well it took me a few days and a little asking around to fully comprehend what happened...

so my friend shanti shows up one night and he has like this massive cut thing on his face and im like whoa what happened, surfing accident? and he is like ahh no i got bit by the monkey. yeah he says 'the monkey' like it should be so obvious which one he is talking about!!

that particular night he was drunk out of his mind and having a conversation with him wa like trying to tame an elephant on speed- he was too busy crashing all over the place and bumbling around so i had to ask around for fo from his friends. turns out he was indeed bit in the face by monkey- the monkey who apparently is on a chain around the back side of bounty ( a huge nightclub shaped like a boat that we affectionately refer to as 'the grossest bar in bali' . bounty is full of 18 year olds without shirts on, the loudest and most obnoxious aussies ( i know, how do you classify any one of them as 'louder and more obnoxious' then the other?) plus there is an abundance of ho hos and its so stifllingly hot that its kinda hard to breathe. so yeah not suprised to find out that i had no idea that ther was a captvie monkey round the back and that for some reason my friend thought it wise to play with it...or something. that part of the story no ones seems to remember- as in why they were in the back and why they were involved in an altercation with a monkey.

miraculously his bite cleared up pretty quickly. hope he had a rabies shot. although that could explain that light foaming at the mouth i noticed the other night and just assumed he was spilling jungle juice out his mouth.....or perhaps could explain his temoporary insanity on tuesday where he called me 'chloe' for a good few hours. not only is that not my name, but its the name of this other gilr we knew, one he has a crush on....when i finally asked him why he was calling me that he looked really painfully confused before realizing his mistake. he was like i have no idea why im calling you that. yeah. there are some really fun people in bali:)
