Ho's before Bro's

So I hooked up with my flatmates' best mate (again) last weekend. Actually he thought he'd get me and my friend, but she wasn't interested. Anyway...

When we got home, the two of us were starting to fool around, and my friend walks straight into my flatmates room and wakes him up. We are trying to keep what we're doing from my flatmate (makes life VERY interesting).

My flatmate's bedroom door, and one of my bedroom doors face each other. So we're standing between these, and we hear very clearly my name and the guys name. I look up at him, swear, and he walks into the flatmates bedroom to do damage control.

So all four of us end up outside, me and my mate sitting on the bonnet of her car talking, and my flatmate and his mate sitting on the steps talking, for about half an hour, maybe more. Then the guy I had hooked up with gets up, and gets into his car to leave. I asked him if he's really going. Yes, yes he is. I'm dumbfounded. I go stand beside my flatmate, and watch him go. My mate goes to to talk to him to get him to come back. Nothing doing.

He drives off. I think, he's gotta be coming back. I call him, his phone's off. I call hang up and redail. Same result. Repeat about 10 times. Finally he picks up.
Me: You coming back
Him: No. (remember this guy is a player here)
Me: WHAT!!!
Him: There's too many people wandering around there at the moment
Me: He's gone to bed
Him: but with all the shit going on at the moment I dont want to risk it
Me: So when then
Him: Next week sometime
Me: *Sexually frustrated* WHEN!!!

So after the converstaion finishes I walk inside. My mate is already on the sofa, out of it.
Her: You must hate me
Me: No, but it was going to be good
Her: You must hate me
Me: Ho's before bros girlie
Her *Laughs*

Anyhoo, I got to thinking the next day. What exactly was this guy talking about when he said 'all the shit that's been going on'. Because I had no idea. My flatmate and I were so close once, and now I have no idea when something major is going on? I know that I've been a bit more reclusive since my Grandpa died, and its normal, but I still feel so bad. I used to be one of the people he would tell everything to, and now that something major is going on, I have no idea?

And now I get no chance to talk to him, because one of his mates has moved in, and she's stolen his TV (which he bought for his kids), and stuck it in her own room. So he spends most of his time in there, and I dont get to really see that much of him.

I was considering buying a new TV to put in the lounge, because I really really dont want to move mine out of my room. That way we can sit in the lounge instead of being locked in our rooms when we want to watch tv. But I really can't afford it.

So I've been making more of an effort to talk to him when he's around. Its only been a day, but I think if I make the same effort I did before to talk to him (its not much really), then we should be able to maintain our friendship.

And tonight I cooked a roast (which I do weekly anyway), and tossed on some extra veggies for him. I was hoping to do a catch up dinner and drinks, but as I was seriving dinner ("You want gravy"), there's a knock at the door. His ex has bought over the kids and wants him to do the whole 'happy family' thing. So he bolts down his dinner, while I'm playing with the kids, and goes out with them all. So there goes that idea. But I figure at least he knows I'm still here to talk to if he needs it.

Its been a week since I posted.

I’ve Got CRABS!!!

I went for a drive to get a coffee today and ended up with crabs. Big, fat, hungry crabs. I’ve had them in the past, for quite a while, and it took me ages to get rid of them. And now I’ve been bitten again. Let me explain…

We went to the shopping center one suburb over to get a coffee (very necessary after last nights drinking efforts). Going in we drove past a pet shop, and we (I) decided to go in and see what they had there. I’d had hermit crabs in the past, for a few years actually, and I’ve always wanted them again. So I decided, before I even got into the store, I’d buy more. I got to having a look a them, and whilst deciding which ones I wanted I had two pretty big guys on my hand, wallet in the other. And one of them decides its hungry and the skin on my hand looks taaasty.

So here I am, with one hand full of crabs (how often do you get to say that in your lifetime), and the other full of wallets and keys, one crab biting me, and my friend too scared to come near me to empty my OTHER hand so I can remove said biter. By the time I managed to get the shop girl to take my possessions he had a more than firm hold. So here I am, tapping on this crab, blowing on him, and trying to pull him off without taking half the skin off my palm. One of the shop girls suggests dunking my hand, with attached crab, into the fish tank next to me. No response from bitey, except to take a firmer grip. Cue the toe curling and wincing. We waited a little longer. Still no response. We tried sliding a card under him to lever him off. Didn’t work. Meanwhile, I have fish all over my hand, leading me to believe that I’ve been bleeding in the water. And it stings enough to back me up too. Five minutes later I’m still waiting for this thing to drop off. But the good news is that the fish tank water is cold enough that I can’t feel my hand. I have quite a few ‘observers’, and have managed to convince a child that she should also get crabs. Though not Bitey.

One of the shop girls comes over. She’s rung a vet to see if there’s anything we can do to get it off. He recommends waiting. Five more minutes pass, with pleasant conversation and the occasional wince as Bitey repositions his grip. Finally he starts to move. I grab him and drag him off. Out shoots the OTHER claw to get a grip. It closes down and I think “No way buster”, still pulling and eventually giving him a small prize of a piece of skin. He gets tossed back into the tank where he curls up exhausted. Bitey must be a guy. Once he’s done its straight to sleep and bugger the world.

I am now missing the top layer of skin, approximately the size of my little finger nail, at the base of my left little finger.

Needless to say I didn’t get Bitey, but I now have three small crabs.

I never said I was sane.
