Eva's house warming
On Saturday morning I went to basketball as usual, but could only stay until 10:30am as I had to go to Eva's house warming. I had played a few games and didn't want to leave. Honestly, I gave serious thought to just bailing on the house warming and staying for more games. It made me realise how lucky I had been in the past to be able to stay for all three hours.
I rushed home and had a shower, then got changed into my Harvey Specter outfit which I bought the day before. I was a bit annoyed because Brain was supposed to pick me up at 11am but he was nowhere to be seen at 11:20am. I went downstairs to wait for him and after a while he silently texted me saying he was there. I spotted his car across the road and approached him. He told me G had called him earlier saying he'd drive over and asked us to wait for him.
So while we sat there waiting for G, I found it a bit hard to make conversation as Brain just silently sat there. I asked him how work was going, and found out that since the restructure, there are only three people in his office. God that must suck. He also mentioned something about considering buying a property in the past, and I assume he instead spent that money on his new car.
Finally after a long wait G arrived, then we drove to the Coles at Surry Hills. I wondered loudly whether Scope's Coles would be closer, but Brain quickly said to go to the Surry Hills one as that had easier parking. When we got there, we did the shop for meats and sauce, then when it came time to pay, neither of them made a move, and I just knew what was going to happen. I used my credit card to pay, and when we were putting the stuff into the car, I said "that's $37, so just make it $12 each". G thought about it, then suggested we could forgo his share if he gave his present to Eva on our behalf as well, which made it $19 for Brain and me. Whatever.
When we got to Eva's place, she apparently wasn't home. We kept pressing the bell and there was no answer. I called Ele, and put on an Indian accent, which made her laugh. But at that point, Eva showed up and let us in. She had Brain and G try to fix her blinds, but I think they made it a bit worse than it already was. Not that I could've done much better.
Later on we heard the buzzer, and I went to answer it with the Indian accent. I thought it'd be a good prank to play on Colin, but it was Yang, and he played along with his own Indian accent, saying his name was Sayed lol.
So he, Ele and their daughter had arrived. Shortly after that, Chang and Sylvie arrived. Then the buzzer went again, and this time G decided to do the prank. He said he'd use a British accent, but it didn't sound like anything. He told Colin that this was the wrong number lol. Later on I went to throw out the rubbish and saw Colin wandering around. He was pretty pissed off that G had told him it was the wrong number, saying it wasn't funny lol. Ele and I shared an awkward glance at each other.
The rest of the day was mainly divided between the guys on the balcony and the girls inside on the lounge. Yang cooked on the charcoal bbq and I cooked on the saucepan. After eating, the guys played Dixit on the balcony and the girls remained inside. We played one game before most people left, so Eva, G, Brain and I played another game of Dixit on the couch while Colin watched tv.
After that game we all left. G was supposed to meet other people in the city, but then he cancelled and said he was free now, so he could do drinks if we wanted. Brain then said, while driving, "what, if we're going to drinks, I'm not driving". That was enough concrete evidence to finally support my theory that his reluctance to drive was due to being a cheap skate rather than any lack of social skills. Can't believe he said something like that.
We ended up going to Chinksford for drinks. Brain did pay me the $12. We talked about my problem with Victoria mainly. Brain then said he was hungry so we went to a restaurant to eat, and continued talking about Victoria. We had agreed that I should try once more. I said I'd give it one more week before asking her out for lunch, but G wanted me to ask this week. I think I'll wait till next week.
On Sunday I went to the library to study a bit. I checked out the car park beforehand and her car wasn't there. I had worn the Harvey Specter outfit too, what a waste. I think I spent more time in the library on 9gag than actually reading the textbook.
When I had "finished" studying, I went to the lifts and got in. A girl followed me in, and the weird thing was, she stood facing me. I had taken a position standing at the back corner, and she was in front of me, facing me. It was too awkward, so I just looked down, up, sideways, away. She then dropped something, and I bent down to pick it up. It was her bottle cap. I gave it to her and she thanked me, then continued facing me. Two people came in and they probably would've thought it was pretty weird.
I wonder if it had anything to do with the Harvey Specter outfit? If so, I really need to put more effort into dressing up!
