After the crushing disappointment of our own election all my/our hopes were pinned on that other one. Obsessively monitoring it via the trusty internet....right up until 1am Sunday morning when I broke my phone cord. And then I had NO INTERNET ACCESS FOR 3 DAYS. Cos Sunday was spent in the bush pushing down trees and then stupid Work for the next two days. So late Tuesday afternoon I finally get around to ringing a friend

Me. OMG I broke my phone cord!! Do I have to drive all the way to a Mac shop or will any computer shop do.

silver_b_a *slowly and disbelievingly* The cord that runs from your computer to the phone?
Me Yes, yes.

silver_b_a *much laughter*

silver_b_a It's a basic phone cord you moron. Go to Kmart right now.
Me La la... I'm not embarassed at all.

silver_b_a Wait til I remind you about the time you couldn't get your new printer cartridge to work so I had to come along and take off the plastic tag.
Me I'm hanging up on you now.

Anyways, I had a break from obsessing about election type stuff and was able to discuss it rationally and without whimpering with my Dad at lunch on Wednesday (while on the other sideof the world the American people were deciding our future) and I had an epiphany (that I'm sure many other people have had before me) that while it seems like the end of the world if Bush gets back in, so must have thought the many liberals who voted against Reagan..and my Dad brought up the Whitlam years and how people were that passionate politically back then and (from my Dad's pov remember) how there was this total euphoria when he was ditched, and.. everyone got my point, right? cos I think I just overdosed on politics.

dragonfly8 , Jody and I saw 'Filthy Perverts on Stage' the other night. Fabulous, fabulous show. Dragonfly got a lapdance from the Pretty Boy!! Mid gyrate he's like 'sorry, I have to do this'. Dragonfly's response - 'cool, as long as I can touch' Tart.

So afterwards we're the only people left in the theatre filling in our feedback forms, while everyone's gone next door to have drinks with the actors. Writer guy wanders over.

Writer Guy - I hope the jokes about Lesbians didn't offend you...
Us- Really not. Laughed our asses off.
Writer Guy - I'm glad. I was watching you during those parts and you were laughing so...
Us - Very very funny!!
*bit more chat about play and he wanders off to sweep up broken glass*

(might be worth mentioning that we made up 50% of the females in the audience and the others were there with men)

Shortly after Pretty Boy Actor wanders in and over to us.
Pretty Boy - I hope the jokes about Lesbians didn't offend you...
Us- Really not. Laughed our asses off.
Pretty Boy - Are you lesbians?
Us - No. But some of our friends are and they wouldn't have been offended.
Dragonfly - But we do have to get home to our 'Sprogget' ***
Pretty Boy - In Melbourne the play got a really bad Rap from the lesbian community.
Me - Our mates would have thought it was funny.

*more chat and compliments about the play and actors ensues*
Pretty Boy - Also, did you get how the last two scenes linked together?
Us- uh, yes.
Pretty Boy, Cos I didn't realise until the dress rehearsal and then I was like 'Hey Writer Guy, is this guy in this scene the same one as in the next...? and he was like "DID YOU READ THE SCRIPT???"
Us - *mocks*
Pretty Boy *twirls hair* I'm a real blond.

**reference during the play to turkey basters and lesbians bringing up children

But then Sunday was spent engaged in surprisingly satisfying physical labour which

zebra363 's already described . But my personal quote of the day came after watching Dragonfly disappear into the long grass after a madly fleeing Bunny. Just hearing an enraged scream "YOU MADE ME RUN INTO A SPIDER'S WEB!!!.....ALSO. RUNNING AWAY IS BAD."
