"...have a nice cold pint and wait for everything to blow over."- shaun

last night was proof that sometimes things can be quite alright when they don't go to plan. a week ago me and a group of friends had agreed to meet up on thursday (yesterday) to do some filming, continuing my already long and arduous couple of weeks. i was fine with that cos i liked filming and later editing stuff.

but in the end we didn't end up filming so that kind of sucked. i got a call from another friend however asking me if i wanted to head into richmond, melbourne, fo ra few beers and a game of pool. to be honest i wasn't really in the mood to go anywhere cos i was feeling pretty exhausted and shitty. but i eventually gave in and said i would go.

we started off with some prizza from the local pizza shop, then headed to the Great Britain pub in richmond. it's a prety run-down place, with old-school wallpapaer and couches and chairs that didn't match. but they had a nice open fireplace and the couches, even if ugly, were comfy. so me, glenn, and pete just sat by the fire talking and drinking.

it was nice cos i hadn't had a decent conversation with either of them recently and it was cool that we were able to jsut go out as a small group and just chill. noticing that i was pretty munted from the last couple of weeks, glenn tried to cheer me up, in which he succeeded - thanks dude.

we left the pub around 1am and wondered around looking for food, then eventually jumped into a cab and headed home.

as simple as it was, i had an awesome night. i knew i had uni the next morning at 9am but that didn't matter as much as just hanging out with good mates. thanks to pete and glenn for getting me out and putting a few beers and beam and colas in me.

sometimes your friends know what you need more than you do, and that is a great feeling i think; that people know you so well that it kind of takes a load off your shoulders.. you're not as alone in your thoughts than you first realised. and simple things like hanging out in a pub with a couple of friends can be exactly what you need.

and if you're still wonderin glenn, i did get over that hill we were talking about.
