Trip to London Part 3 [Jun. 5th, 2007|04:16 pm]
Someone keeps commenting on my LJ without stating who he or she is. Who are you?

Sorry all it has taken me just over a week since my last post. But hey, at least I have started posting again. On that note, why the hell am I saying sorry?

Oscar .S. Squire, a gentlemen and a prat mixed to gather in a blue suit, took me aside from the ladies and gave me his business card and said “Dearest David, if you ever get into any trouble, give me a call”. Summoning up the strongest British accent he could muster he turned towards the girls and said “Goodbye all, it was an honour to make your acquaintance”. Turning away from us as if a General in the navy had summoned him, he left. His card was printed in a noble text and was very neat and proper. The problem was it didn’t actually say his occupation. It was then it occurred to me through all the chats that he had with everyone, no one questioned him. We all just presumed he was a Lord, or a Businessman of royal status. Was it all an act? And if so he played us well. I then made sure I had all my possessions still on me.
Feeling a bit hungry after only eating 2 bread rolls over the course of 13 hours I when to change over some money. While waiting inline at the cash exchange I soon felt another slap at my shoulder accompanied by a loud childlike voice. “Do you want an ice cream? I’ll buy you one?” Rachel said with a gleaming smile. Before I had time to answer she was already off. Hearing the call for the plane I decided not to bother with the food and just get my ass to London.
Before I left the money exchange Rachel approached me again. She then shoved a small round carton of ice cream in font of me. “You’ll like this one, it’s chocolate chip” she said with her eyes sparkly with glee. She then put one finger to her lips “Shhhh,, will sneak it on the plane”.
After putting up with some cranky French woman who had a go at me for waiting for a Bus rather then… Well, I am not sure what she was on about; Jess, Rachel and I made it to the plane.
The next flight was just under an hour. I spend most of the time trying to clean the ice cream stains of my lap (yeah I know what your thinking “Yeah sure, ice cream stains. More like, ummm,,,, Ice cream stains….). I got the girls contact details after we landed. I said bye to them with which Rachel responded, “Call us” making the phone sign with her thumb and pinkie.
At immigration the sign said, “<--E.U Citizens, Aliens -->”. It was then I got the image of Elf walking up the terminal and turning right.
Since I had problems with my British Passport I decided to leave without it and get it London. I guess that meant I was an Alien. Not many people were waiting inline so I got to the head pretty quickly. Previously I heard stories of people being turned away from immigration. Dreading the worse I assessed what I was going to say.
At the end there was 5 people each sitting at a desk. 4 of them were big brooding men and one being a cute young woman. Going a pure instinct I chose the woman thinking, “She’ll be nice”. That was my mistake. You see, I failed to notice that the reason why the men looked so menacing was because they didn’t want to be there. Being so angry at the job they had, they just didn’t care who was coming into the country. They just stamped the passport and let everyone through. The young woman was the one who wanted to prove herself.

Sorry to leave at this point but Internet is expensive. Part 4 will feature my dear friend Polly (I know I said he will be in part 3 ) as well as a summery of London so far.

Trip to London Part 2 [May. 28th, 2007|05:14 pm]
Why the hell does your accent get 5 times thicker when you in another country? I could just be showing off to the locals, while secretly knowing I would get laughed at if I spoke like this at home

My next plain trip was to Paris for a short transfer flight. On the way to the airport through the busy streets of Vietnam I started talking to an English gentleman who could himself Oscar .S. Squire. He was rather large man with bleached white hair cut like a businessman. He was wearing a royal blue business suit with gold buttons and a black tie. His voice was deep and he spoke with a strict upper-class British accent. He first asked me if I had any bothers or sisters. When I responded with two older sisters he grin at me “Oh, you were the boy your mum and dad were trying for. I hope your sisters held much envy towards you” he remarked. “Next time you meet them, tug at your pants and ask them “Do you want these?” When they say no, say “Well you had your chance””. My response was “They would kick my ass if I did that”. He then went on to tell me how to treat a woman so she yields to my every command. I didn’t like the method, though I loved hearing it. When we got to the airport I asked him wear he was going to be staying in London. Without missing a beat he said “Buckingham Palace. Where else?”.

I got on the plain and was seating next to two Australian girls who were in my Tour group in Vietnam. There names were Jess and Rachel. Jess was kind of quite but very nice and quite confident in herself. Rachel, who was sitting in the middle, was very sweet and bubbly. She would get my attention by waving at me even though I was less the 4 inches away or but slapping her hands into my shoulder (Anyone who has met me knows how jumpy I am). I spoke mainly with Rachel. She was only 3 years younger then me but had the innocence of a child. Her smile was sweet cherry bow across her face and it would never leave her as she spoke. Her expressions were loud, and she told her stories like she was reliving the moments.

We arrived in Paris with only an hour to get on our next plane. I bought a cheap bottle of duty free Wine before I left Vietnam and was pulled up by it at customs. They told me I had to put it under the plane. At this point I lost the group. After waiting in another line and having to sort out my hand luggage again I got the other end to find Oscar speaking with the girls. When I approach Oscar look gestured towards me and said “Ladies, The good news about travelling with young David is that he is safe. The bad new is “He’s not dangerous”. He then directed his attention towards me “David, please escort these ladies to there next destination and keep them safe”.

Ouch, out of time again. Keep an eye out for Part three which includes a dear friend of mine Polly

Trip to London [May. 26th, 2007|12:38 pm]
Hey all
Just landed in London after two plain trips. I never thought I would be hit by jetlag, but it creped up on me like a ninja. A ninja with a hot chocolate and a bedtime story. I managed to stay up long enough to fall into a better time zone but I still feel I need a coffee in my utility belt if the sandman ninja comes back again.

My first stop was in Hoi Chi Minh City, Vietnam for an 8 hour changeover. It was one hell of a culture shock. Everyone rides motorcycles because of how packed the city is. No one wears a helmet or cares for road laws (Not that they enforce it hard, we saw a traffic guard asleep at his post). Whole families were packed on one bike just holding onto there babies with one arm. The tree were all painted white at the bottom to stop people crashing into them and people would stack boxes lager then themselves to the back of there bike and stand them up. It was organized chaos at its finest.

I met a guy called Andrew in my tour group and we decided that after checking into the Hotel we would hit the city. According to our travel agents, we were meant to get a room and a free meal each. After one of the most painful conversations with a little Vietnamese woman, Andrew and I ended up chucked in the same room. We then got a call for dinner.

At the table I was sitting at there were ants crawling from one side to the other. When I hinted it to the waiter without missing a beat he said, “Me no speak English” and chucked a dinner plate on top of the ants.

After a meal that was a little better then I was now expecting we headed onto the streets. The traffic was so chaotic we ended up having to dare each other to cross the roads. I took one step out onto a road with a green man glaring at me and almost got hit with a baby hanging off her mothers arm. I was half expecting the baby to give me the finger.

We managed to find a place that would change over money for us. Two little Vietnamese women with evil smirks traded our ten Australian dollars over for 60,000 dou. I pointed to there faces as they smiled and told them “We know your ripping us off” We then managed to by 4 rice beers and a large bag of chips at still have change which made me wonder what we could have bought if the money was changed over right.

Ouch, running out of internet time. In part two of the story I met two lovely Australian girls and an English Gentleman who was larger then life.

ANGST [Feb. 27th, 2007|02:05 am]
[mood | apathetic]

Do you know where they got the name “Red Bull” from?

If you love the stuff don’t try to figure it out.

On request of a friend of mine I am updating my LJ. And to be honest I have little to say

Sure I have more servo stories but I think the few people who read my LJ would have had enough of them. So instead I am going to throw in the tow and just this one time, post the Dreaded ANGST!!

I never forget anything, nor can I forgive without conclusion. Cross me once and there will be a fire in stomach reaching so high my eyes will flair. Be burned by the flames and a hole will be ripped open from the bulge in my throat, forever swallowing my thoughts.
There are so many people I just want grab and bury there heads deeper into the sand, but what for? Revenge? I just sweep it under the rug and watch the cockroaches play in the dirt.
I don’t fear facing people; It’s just the hardest thing to get people to face the truth. It’s just easier to live in a world of your own fantasy. I have seen things get worse when I try and bring reality into play. I know it’s the right thing to do but who feels better for it?

That’s about as angsty as I can get. I could tell some stories, situations, but the anger just died away and it would be unfair without concluding it with the people involved first. You have to look at yourself first, and at the end of the day, looks like all I am doing is writing a post on LJ about it rather then dealing with it.

"I wish you a lonely Christmas and a crappy new year" [Dec. 26th, 2006|01:51 am]

I HATE CHRISTMAS. So it's a perfect time to start posting in My LJ again (Sad ain’t it). I have been busy as all hell the past few months with work and acting classes.

I am going to make an effort to update this more often from now on.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

"Body Parts Not Accepted" [Aug. 27th, 2006|11:57 pm]

Haven’t posted for awhile so I thought I would tell another servo story that happen before I made my LJ

I had only been at the servo for a two months working one shift a week. I was nervous about serving people and still had to look at the customer service manual when problems would arise.

It was late on a Thursday night. The summer hadn’t faded yet so I had to keep the aircon on or the chocolate bars would melt. I was thinking about closing the store 15mins early till I saw a car pulled up to the pump. Out stepped a pretty young brunette wearing a pink tank top and white jeans. Her hair was messy but structured and her fingernails were long and painted red. She walked with a cocky confidence and stretched her long legs as she put the mussel into the tank.

As attractive as she was, I was stressed and tired. The glue my eyes had on her was melted by my morning, lunch and mid afternoon addiction due to the coffee machine being broken. When she finished she strolled into the store and stopped at the entrance. I was too tired to fake a smile so I raised my eyebrows in a welcoming way (If that’s possible). She then turned her head and glanced around to store as if she was looking for witnesses before turning her attention back to me. In a seductive voice she muttered "Could I Pay with these" and promptly exposed her breasts to me

At this point I went into a mild state of shock. I wasn’t turned on (And if I was I wouldn’t admit it) I just couldn’t believe that she did it. With what thought I could process I reached for the customer service manual. I got as far as placing it on the bench till I decided that it probably wouldn’t have "Flashing" in the index. After a long silence I nervously muttered back to her "Sorry,, $10 please".

Looking quite hurt she put her top back down and slammed a $10 note on the counter then promptly left the store.

The moment she left I starting thinking "Damn,,, I should have said something like "there about $2.50 each so I’ll give you $5 off" or "Sorry, I don’t think they’ll look good on me".

After readjusting my pants I continued to close the store.

Don’t ya just hate it when you think of the perfect thing to say just after the moment has passed? Maybe I should ask BP to add a section in the Customer service manual titled "How to talk back to customers". I have already prepared what I am going to say to the next flasher, I just hope it’s not going to be one of the other gender

How to elbow co-workers an influence people [Aug. 1st, 2006|12:53 am]

Most of my stories happen at work.

This one will be no different

It was a busy day at the servo. The Boss told me a new guy was coming in to be trained, a few customers tried to scam a free car wash from me which I called them on and I had to do all the ordering before 5 while we were getting close to 65 customers an hour.

It was starting to get to the eye of the storm as 2:30 rolled around. The store was getting calmer and there were less cars piling up outside. I was serving an older lady when I spotted a young guy entering the store and start walking around. I finished serving the old lady was from the corner of my eye I saw a figure coming towards me. Whoever it was he had just walked into the staff only area and I hadn’t closed the till yet. My first thought was "ROBBER".

See folks, most of us go through life thinking we’re tough, but when it comes to the test we end up shitting ourselves. I am no exception.

As the adrenaline kicked and I went to "Fight or flight" mode I turned my head to face the figure. In my panic I raised my arm and arched it. In a sharp finch I elbowed the "suspected robber" right in the throat with the force of an adrenaline junky.

The "suspect" fell to the floor choking and I took a good look at him. It was at that point I almost fainted

The new guy I have been praying for to do my Saturday night shifts, the guy I have been begging to my boss to hire to take away my stress load, is now laying on the servo floor choking with a shocked look on his face after an elbow to the throat. An elbow I delivered!

I really wished I spotted the "Trainee" badge before I hit him.

Getting back to my senses I decided there has to be a lesson in this, for all of us. I said I was sorry but no one is allowed behind the desk unless you know they are staff. Since he hadn’t announced himself he could have been anyone. Getting his breath back he admitted his mistake (He was wearing street clothes after all).

Offering him a hand up I said to him "And if umm,,, someone tries to rob the store,,, you umm,,, elbow them in the throat"

 

Time for bed

A friend of mine sent me this picture a week ago. It was titled "Unhappy Sex worker".



When I first saw the pic I felt very sorry for the Lady (being formally overweight myself). But when I was at work the next day I started laughing my head off about it.

Does this make me a bad person?

Well I guess I never claimed to be a good one

Another Servo Story from stupid [Jul. 7th, 2006|03:04 pm]

Haven’t updated in awhile so I thought I will spill another servo story

  It was 8:45pm on a cold winter’s night. Rachael, the hottest customer that shops at the servo came in twice that day and spoke with me both times. She has the body of a supermodel with the personality of "the girl next door". I had a "happy" day. 
  
  I had already cleaned the bays, done all the bins and now it was time to see how much petrol was in the tank. I put on the dirty, reflective safety jacket (for legal purposes) grabbed the dip sheet and torch and headed out to check the dips. As I opened the unleaded tank I turned on the torch and pulled out the dipstick to see the measurements. On a windy night the petrol evaporates quickly and you have to work fast to get the right measurement. As I pulled the dipstick all the way out and looked down it with the torch something strange happened. The front of the torch broke open and two D size batteries fell lose. The hole into the petrol tank is small enough without a large stick in the center of it, but by a shear shift of fate one of the batteries managed to slip in. For a moment, everything went slow motion. 

  I could hear the battery circle around the tunnel and then splash into the tank. The idea of an electric charge into 28,000lts of petrol (It would have to be on the day it was filled) for some strange reason scared me so hard the not only the hair on my head was standing. Dropping the dipstick back into the tank a screwed the cap back on in a frantic fit. My sigh of relieve was not long lasting as I ponder if the cap alone could stop a 28,000lt blast. I ran back into the servo and hit the lights so no customers would come. 

  Figuring if a blast would occur it would have already happened I calmed myself and out of guilt rang my boss. He was at a party the background noise was strong. After idling for a bit I told him what happen. The background noise muffled with voice as he yelled his head off at me. After about 4mins of him yelling and me saying, "Come again?" he told me he would ring back. I opened the Herald Sun and started looking through the job section. The best I could find was a dishwasher for Tarco Bills (been there before). The boss finally rang back and to my surprise thanked me for the call. He said and I quote "I don’t know if I would have the balls to tell my boss that".

No, the servo wasn’t going to blow up, or at least as I thought it would have gone up already. I switched back on the lights and put the paper away.

To think I could have blew myself up and other people as well doesn’t keep me up at night anymore, but Rachael still does

Pink lies at the pub [Jun. 21st, 2006|01:37 am]

I was at the pub last Thursday with the camarilla crew. I was having a great time as always till I met a lady named Robin. She claims to work in the fashion industry and I am told to never lend money to her. We were having a chat over a pair of 60s pants that my sister got for me. I decided to put them on to see how they looked. The pants were cool but what happened next wasn’t. As soon as I came back the first thing Robin said was "Nice ASS". Pretending not to understand I responded "What do you want to ASK me". Then right in font of me she turned to Drew and said "I would hit that".

I must confess something at this point. I haven’t had an offer in awhile, nor have I had a g/f in about half a year (And even then it was iffy). But I am just a little picky. And I have some morals about who I sleep with.

I pretend to pass the comment off as something else then stepped away. But I was not rid of her. She then grabbed my ass from behind and start trying to have a "Deep and Meaningful" chat with me. In the course of her rant she told me how her ex husband told his lawyer that she cheated on him in their marriage. I asked her if she did and her response was " Yes, but I didn’t want him to tell the lawyer that". I couldn’t get my eyes off her teeth even though I wanted too. I think she had enough gum in her jaw line to create 3 boxes of Red Skins. I was looking pretty nervous/disgusted at this point. The " "Living Legend" Andrew O’Conner I think picked this up on his Daveda and came over stating "I feel like pie". Using this as my "Get out of Crabs free card" We then headed for the 7/11. Just before I left Robin grabbed me and brought me in close.

This is where I made my first mistake. Instead of saying "No" I said "Not Now" as she tried to kiss me. Heading out of the pub Andrew started laughing and I followed. I said to Andrew "Where’s Sharon to start a gay rumor when you need her".

Then came my seconded mistake. I came up with the brilliant plan of getting Andrew to tell Robin I was gay.

Heading back to the pub I started mixing from group to group trying to avoid her. Andrew then got her alone and told her I was gay.

  It didn’t take as much convincing on Andrew’s part as I would have liked. She then crack onto him but he did the smart thing and told her she was a slut (in nicer words I would guess). I saw Andrew and her talking. Later I went to Andrew and he said "Yep, told her" I sighed in relief and started crapping on about how I would rather her think I was gay then hit on me till Andrew whispered "She’s behind you" I then grabbed Andrews Chain and started Meowing. He didn’t look impressed

After awhile Robing came back to talk to me. The conversation went something like this

Robin: David, is it true

Me: Umm,, yes, I’m gay sugar buns.

Robin: I thought you were too young

Me: Your never to young to be gay

Robin: Well,,, when did you first know?

Me: Umm.. I always did

Robin: Yeah but when was your first gay experience?

Me: Umm.. When I was 12, I was in a male locker room and I cracked a boner

Robin: *laugh* so what do you like most about men?

Me: Umm,, there ass I guess? Oh and that cock is good too

Robin: What boys do you like

Me: Well,, I always liked that Patrick Swayze. He had a great ass. Oh and the Hoff, I can’t get my eyes off the bulge in his pants.

At this point I started to have fun but I don’t want to go into any more detail.

She then started telling me about gay boys she knew and whom she could hook me up with. I made some lame excuse, can’t remember what it was and I stopped talking to her.

Why didn’t I just reject her straight off the Mark? I am not good with these situations

Random story, [Jun. 14th, 2006|12:24 am]

12:30 the other night my mother told me we had no milk for the morning. Being such a great son I decided to walk down to the servo for her. Because of the roads in my area it’s much faster to walk then drive. My mum told me she just saw the weather channel and it’s only 2 degrees outside. Thinking "Nah, it can’t be that cold" I headed out. My mum wasn’t lying it was freezing. By the time I reached the servo my ears where ready for a home made piercing. I open the fridge door to grab the milk and the thermostat read 4 degrees.

The fridge inside the servo was warmer then the weather outside. 

That’s Melbourne for ya.

Haven’t up dated in awhile,, What have I done?

I went to Sydney for a Week and Brisbane the Next. I did nothing too interesting, and that’s what I enjoyed about it. I guess I get such a fill of crap in real like that on my holiday, I just some quite.

But no trip comes without a few stories. When I am not falling asleep I’ll spill a few

(no subject) [May. 19th, 2006|12:57 am]

I came across something I wrote a few years back. Thought I would put it up.

The Fairy 

The presence of the innocent, which makes me tremble. The fairy of the sunset and the clouds resembled. Platinum locks long with grace and tenderness. The face of a goddess, with eyes of a temptress. A cherubic and yielding voice crying with spirit within. The body of a seraph, making me only think of sin.
Her nature is one with the stars, so amiable, so complex, so sincere. She is like a full moon in the dark sky, many men run with fear. With this entire splendor, this golden rose has grown. One of the great mysteries in the world is that she walks alone.
The stone path of her life has had its share of heartbreak. Her grandeur so consequential, many don’t give but take.
The sorrow of the fairy, natures cruelest crime
A deep blue ice crystal, in the sands of time
My fantasy to meet her in her place of mans creation.
A land full of cites, guns, fear and nuclear power stations.
To find her with forlorn gray brick walls in an alley, and to hold her tight. With the wind and the stars, and the pale moon light. To take her away to a place of beauty, away from pain and blunder. To a mystical place within the frontiers, of the land down under. I don’t know if I am worthy of her, and to find her I must walk the seas. And even with all my heart, I can’t promise her please. Many might see her as tangled, pretty but rather scary. But no one can over look the magic of the fairy.

Graveyards, electrocution and Satan [May. 16th, 2006|12:29 am]
On mothers Day I took my mother to a café in the middle of a graveyard. It servers really nice food and her mother was buried there so I thought it would be appropriate. My mum loved it. Graveyards are not as dank as they are made out to be.

Later that night I was at my sister and I got a call from work asking if I could come in at 5am. I was cool with the idea till I got up at 4am after getting home at two. When I got to work I noticed that the guy who closed the night before made some big mistakes so it I ended up opening the store 30mins late. Being in a rush I noticed I forgot to open the Ice freezer. I then ran outside only to turn and make a bolt back towards the automatic door but it was too late. I forgot to switch the door from exit only to auto.
At 6am I was locked out of my own store and the morning rush was on it’s way. With no car keys or phone I started to pace around thinking. I first tried to force the door open. After jamming all my fingers and cutting into one I decided to think of something else. I then remembered the time I didn’t deadlock the door and the boss yelling at me saying if the power went out the door would swing right open. I ran around the side and started looking for the fuse box. When I opened it there was no light coming in so I had to work blind.
I stared fiddling with one of the plugs and I noticed the wash bays went out. Think I was on the right track I grabbed the next plug along and pulled. I must have touched a wire or something as I was then jolted about 4-6ft backwards into the concrete wall. Every muscle in my body clenched and it took me what felt like a long time (Probably only 30seconds) to get my breathing back. All the lights went out so I knew I succeed. After being curled up on the ground for a few mins I got back to my feet and made my way into the store. I grabbed a torch and my keys and walked back around to the fuse box and put everything back in place. I had a headache for the rest of the morning.

Around 12 a black track with tinted windows pulled up and started filling. It all the sudden went dead quite and this man wearing a black business suit stepped out. His eyebrows pointed down, his hair was bright gray and his eyes wear dark. He put in exactly $130 of fuel then walked inside the store. He then grabbed a packet of jelly babes and walked up to the front desk. With a low and stern voice he said “13 fuel and the babies please”. He gave me a look of annoyance and anger. His eyes seemed to spark up when he talked. If anyone looked like a walking Satan, it was him. He then gave over a BP card. When I asked for the order number he said “666”. At that point I can’t keep a straight face and started to talk to him. After idly chatting I offered him a free coffee. He walked over and made himself a “long black” then started to walk out of the store. Before leaving he turn to me and smiled “Thanks, I will see you soon”. As soon as he left the cars started coming out of everywhere as if they were hiding and the place was busy again.

What a strange day

Boring entry today [May. 10th, 2006|02:51 am]
I went to the movies tonight with Alexa and saw “Shes the Man”. To be honest, it sucked. I wish all the actors in that movie had just one big neck so I could put my hands around it, and choke them all to death (Sep Vinnie Jones, he rocks!). I think I spent the first half thinking of better ways I could have spent my 8 bucks and the second half playing with my zipper.

After the movie I dropped off Alexa and decided to take a long walk so I went to Melbourne uni. I have a bad habit of talking to myself and punching the air making my own sound effects. I can’t remember why but I wasn’t in an annoyed mood. Then a song started playing in my head
I must confess something, I can’t dance but I love to try. No one was around so I started dancing and showing off some prowess by jumping over chairs and even doing some flips on the grass. It was all fun till I came across a group of young exchange students. I could see by there faces they were trying not to laugh so I made a fast exit onto the street then laughed at myself for awhile. I then walked around the city for awhile before heading home.

First Entry, and hopefully not last. [May. 9th, 2006|03:00 am]
I decided to give this thing a try, not sure how long I will keep it up for, or if I’ll promote it much. I think I am writing this more for myself then to share with others.

Today was another day at the servo. It’s not a bad job, just not the one I want. I got into trouble last shift for writing inappropriate messages in the Staff Book. On Saturday I opened the store at 5am after getting 2 hours sleep and then worked for 6 hours. As I was leaving I was asked if I could come back about at 8 to “Help” close the store as they didn’t trust Martin, the tender on that night to do a good job ( And I wonder why, they have only fired him 5 times in the last 5mouths months!). I got a call at 6 from Martin asking me to come in at 7 to work as he was “feeling sick” and wanted me to do the close myself. That night we ran out of petrol and had no customers so I asked him to do some of the close before I got there. When I walked in the store was such a shit house I told him to go home. After spending 3 hours closing, which would normally only, takes me 1 hour (Had to redo all of Martins stuff). I was so Angry that I wrote in the Staff book quote;

“Dear Martin, I am a religious person but please get a girlfriend so I could F&*K her in front of you. David”

The Bosses mother wasn’t too impressed when she opened the staff book to write in the coke order that morning. I got a call from Garry and he had a “stern” talk with me but let me off as I was covering for him that night

Well, it’s 3am, better get some sleep. David
