the usual wednesday night: drag queen karaoke, FIFA wins, hot aussies, and wayyyy to much to drink :)

a brief introduction to my feelings this morning.... well lets just say i only got about three hours of sleep last night... so yes this is going to be a longgg dayyy hahaha but yesterday was oh so fun!

So after work on wednesday nights, we have a speaker series with our program... Brad sets up these like motivational speakers who just come give presentations to the group and its just about an hour and a half... last nights speaker was unbelievable!

his name was Nic Feteris, and he holds the record for the highest base jump, aka he jumps out off of cliffs, mountains, buildings, and planes and wayyyy to high in the air! we told us all about his crazy projects and explorations/adventures, with the coolest pictures!! he jumped out of a hot air balloon at 37,000 feet!! and he gets all these sponsors to make movies etc... we watched a movie of him jumping off this mountain in pakistan, and it was crazy because his whole body was doing flips! gahh so scary!! this is his website...
http://tallstories.com/saxton/ but his message was just really awesome: to just take risks! failing in life at least shows that you are putting yourself out there and at least trying, so lets all live a little!
he even told us the best place to sky dive in sydney.... ;) maybeeee i'll do it!!!! gahhh ahahah
After that, we all headed to our usual scruffy murphey's bar for the weekly wednesday night drag queen karaoke!! and there was a new drag queen tonight, her name was maxi! hahahaha oh how we lovee karaoke, especially the regulars who are just crack-ups!
but i am not lying when i say we drank wayyyyyyy too much, literally!! so i started off by buying myself a big cup of cider, and then a smirnoff mule (i had to try this, basically its this drink of ginger ale, lime, and vodka, in a can... yes in a can... but only $6 and im on a budget! hahaha) and then after that, us girls probably got through i would say almost 12 pitchers of beer!! this one guy just kept buying them... dangerous... and then... i spotted to extremeley good lookin boys ;) they even sang! haha ... they sang TNT, but they were so hot!
we were all belting out as a girl sang "i wanna dance with somebody" and then YMCA and so many goodies... my voice is certainly gone today!
and then after karaoke ended, we stayed at the bar of course because now it was happening... and the two boys came over... and seriously bought us way too many drinks (another cider, a cranberry vodka, a jegerbomb shot, more cider... oh goodness gracious....) they were both from melbourne and were on holiday in the city... they owned a "Boost juice" which is a really popular smoothie place, and they were really young, so they were definitely well off hahaha, katie was saying that one of the boys said how his brother won the lottery, which is how they bought a boost juice at such a young age (i think they were probably 23), pretty cool, but they were super fun to talk to... and one just kept saying how gorgeous i was... can we say confidence booster ;)... they had recently took a trip to CA and went to newport!! they had all these pics along pch, so crazy! it was all just a whirlwind of fun, and then we had to catch up with the boys of our program who were in darling harbor to watch the USA game broadcasting on the big huge screens at midnight! so we all went over there (me, katie, and the two boys, matt and xavier... xavier what a name hahaha ) and we watched with all these other US fans... xavier bought katie and i white wine without even asking, how classy! and USA won!!! it was amazing!!! in overtime too!!! i didnt even realize how late into the night it was or how cold it was because they won!! wohooo!!!
after that, we got the boys numbers! yeeyaa! hahaah and then katie and i went back to the room and literally feasted it was so embarrassing haahah.... first we ate her entire box of "pure butter" shortbread cookies, and then i had cookies from work, and then some of my corn thins with hummus, and then she even whipped our her chicken! haha not a good feeling this morning...especially because we didnt end up going to bed until like 4am! but what fun! Nic even said to just live life to the fullest! and who cares that work is extremeley hard this morning hahahaah or that i drank enough to fill our backyard pool last night :)
