Gigging, surfing and ROTK
4:34 pm Mon, 17th January 2005I’m going to Wave Aid! Yay! Got a much desired ticket through a friend who managed to secure Yellow Oval (I think that means the front section) tickets this morning. I’ve also got 4 tickets to see the free George gig on Opera House forecourt this Sunday evening. Anyone wanna come with me? Its free, but limited to 4000 and you have to get tickets from an American Express Foreign Exchange
Office in Wynyard, Circular Quay or Parramatta.
In other news. I went attempted surfing again on Saturday – for the 2nd time in my life! I went over to a mates place, whose flatmates own a number of shortboards – we took one out and attempted to surf. Hahah. My friend managed to get out on the 2nd attempt and caught one wave. Our first attempt failed miserably, with us paddling furiously in the same spot for about 10 mins (lesson learned: follow the other surfers out). However, my 2nd attempt to get out was rather short-lived, and ended rather abruptly when I tried to avoid an incoming surfer, and ended up with the point of my surfboard hitting me in the arm. Bye bye surfing. Hello ice pack. π
Ah well. I had fun anyway. π I’d forgotten what an exercise in controlled fear it was to surf. Especially by yourself, on a crappy day with highly dangerous and strong currents (most of the beach was actually closed – the sand had been heavily washed out, and the surf was dumping on the shore) and on a type of board you’ve never used before. I think I should go for another lesson, before attempting the crazy again.
Finally, I bought the LOTR ROTK 4 disc dvd set yesterday!! Only $54.25 at EzyDvd store in Burwood too. Last one in the store. Woohoo!! Watched it last night, and it was SWEEEET! π Also bought the latest Raymond E Feist – “Exiles Return”. On the last day of sales at Myer. Nice. π Oh and I watched Elektra too yesterday. Despite the plot holes, I quite liked. I like Jennifer Garner. I wanna be buff like her. π
Hm I kinda like this Avril Lavigne song. Shame on me. π
Well I couldn’t tell you
Why she felt that way
She felt it every day
And I couldn’t help her
I just watched her make
The same mistakes again
What’s wrong, what’s wrong now?
Too many, too many problems
Don’t know where she belongs
Where she belongs
She wants to go home, but nobody’s home
It’s where she lies, broken inside
With no place to go, no place to go
To dry her eyes, broken inside
Open your eyes
And look outside
Find the reasons why
You’ve been rejected
And now you can’t find
What you’ve left behind
Be strong, be strong now
Too many, too many problems
Don’t know where she belongs
Where she belongs
She wants to go home, but nobody’s home
It’s where she lies, broken inside
With no place to go, no place to go
To dry her eyes, broken inside
Her feelings she hides
Her dreams she can’t find
She’s losing her mind
She’s fallen behind
She can’t find her place
She’s losing her faith
She’s fallen from grace
She’s all over the place
Yeah
She wants to go home, but nobody’s home
It’s where she lies, broken inside
With no place to go, no place to go
To dry her eyes, broken inside
She’s lost inside, lost inside..
Oh oh..
She’s lost inside, lost inside..
Oh oh..

yes please get another lesson. rather than scaring yourself too much. and possibly injuring yourself as well.
and make sure you pick their brains for good places to go out by yourself and the rules for right of way and stuff.
you’ll end up not only safer, but having a lot more fun and catching more waves as well π
