Ah, Mental Mondays at Bondi, what a night. Fonze invited Claire who then invited Sarann who then invited Liz, John (also know as other John to save confusion between her housemate and my pre-uni friend John), George, Maths Chris so when you add that to me, Fonze and John there were a total of 9 of us there.
Myself, Fonze and John got the bus down at 9:50, which is 30 minutes earlier than normal as Sarann suspected it would be busier being Easter Monday. I think the claims were unfounded, it was about as busy as it was last week, maybe a little busier but that can be accounted for by students returning a week before term starts, perhaps to finish a project (that’s what Sarann did anyway).
I know a few people recognised me, if only at least from previous weeks. When our IDs were getting checked by one of the bouncers, the other one (who I now know is named Andrew) said “let them in, they come every week” or something to that effect. It’s great the way we’ve become regulars at Bondi :D. Most people do it with a pub. But not me and Fonze, we had to be different :p.
Fonze made it his mission to find out people’s names. The first being that the bouncer that recognised us was called Andrew and he also found out the names of the two girls that serve drinks at the bathtubs. The blonde is called Emma and the darked haired one is Mandy (she is the one Fonze thought was checking me out (or laughing at me), she denies she was doing either). He just went up and asked them – if only he had that kind of confidence when trying to huck up with girls.
I spent most of the night in the group or outside it casting my eye around. We were the first people to hit the revolving dance floor. Indeed, for 5-10 minutes, myself, Claire and Other John were the only people on it :D. But that was before 11 when most people were waiting for the free drinks to start. They didn’t open the downstairs till like 10 to 11 which sucked as we got there at like 10:15 and I was hoping we could get some revolving dancing in before the drinking started. Not that we didn’t get plenty in at the start.
I ended up spending the last hour or two dancing with a girl named Laura and a bunch of guys who kept calling me Jesus. That was fun :p. I wonder how regularly she goes there. Fonze says he is almost broke again, especially with buying his phone so he won’t be attending next week although it will be the first Monday back at uni so I’m hoping I can drag my house down there. Early as next week the queues return and it will be packed again. Still only 8 weeks of term before all the students leave for the summer and Bondi is once again returned to the student/locals hybrid (there are locals too but there are plenty of us that are students also which is cool).
Speaking of student/local hybrids, Colette was there! Not that we talked much, we had a quick conversation inside and I went and said goodbye to her when we were outside waiting for a taxi, but it was nice to see her.
So yeah, fun night, roll on Wendy House! Although to be honest, now that I have spent 3 weeks at home, I’m settled in. I spent the first 2-3 weeks wishing I was back at uni with all my uni friends but now I am home and have been home for several weeks I am settled in again and I like home. Still, I am sure once I get back to uni it will be fun. But then I’ll have to do work and such. After going on 4 weeks of doing nothing, even the limited amount of work I do at uni seems a lot :p.
Oh and as a footnote, Bondi was open until 3:30 today rather than the usual 3. That was cool as I was enjoying myself more at the end. They claim they do that more often but I don’t think I’ve been there when it’s been open until 3:30 before. Ah well, it was a good thing so I’m not complaining.
