This from my journal today.....



"I went out to hit the internet and get my key deposit back and then I got a Mcdonalds, and that Holly girl was in there but I didn't speak to her, I went back to the hostel and was gonna watch Lored Of The Rings but in the end I tried to figure my budget out. That belguim girl showed up and tried to strike up a conversation and i tried being nice, but I was busy.

Then these two Canadian girls showed up - Ainslee and Lynsey. Ainslee was a dead-on lookalike for elizabeth Shue. *Swoon*

We chatted. They were cool chicks, and we arranged to go out later.

I went in the hostel hot-tub then. it was nice - My first time. Thewn I went to watch LOTR but the small TV room was occupied by the canadian chicks, as the big TV room was now full. We tried watching LOTR but thetape was dodgy so we watched Notting Hill instead.

Afterwards I went to the Red Rock West and had fish and chips, and came back and the Canadian girls were in the hot tub so I got in to. They left later just as Belguim girl was getting in. I left the tub soon after they did.

I bought some cranberry juice and drank it with vodka whilst my Laundry was being, well, washed. I sat in the lounge and chatted with charlotte and Tom the Irishman, and the canadian girls. God, I fancy Ainslee so much. She's a singer and an artist and she's so damn fucking drop-dead gorgeous. Earlier on I'd been thinking that it should be obvious when a girl is vibing you, and if anything Ainslee wasn't and Lynsey was, but it shouldn't really matter, because you need to be cool with it and not let other peoples reactions hurt you anymore than you want to let them, etc. So I was sort of thinking I nned to just chill and be friendly and cool, like I sort of used to be when I was younger, but I'm a fucking man and that didn't last for long.

I went to put my wet clothes in the tumble dyer - Now, there's only one washer and one dryer, and there was thirty minutes of powere left before the dryer shut down so I was forced to stop the dryer that was currently on, take the half-damp clothes out, and put my own in. I went back to my room and some Brazilian guy asked me if I wanted to lend him my alarm clock as he needed to be up at 6:30 the next morning. Well I didn't want to, the cheeky cunt, so I told him I was getting up at 6:30 to and I'd wake him up, and I set the alarm for 6:30 and put it beside my bed - Milford Sound Melbourne guy thing

The Canadian girls went to meet some guys from their other hostel and me and Irishman and Charlotte and a few other girls headed out to Frasers because we had some cheap drink vouchers.

In there it was cool. I ended up talking to the canadian girls, and was getting on treally well with Ainslee. I saw the English guys from the downtown backpackers lodge outside and said hello, and I told Ainslee we were off to the world and she should head over later. Well she was game, or so she said. I checked with her mate Lynsey - I said "i really fancy your friend" and she said it was obvious, and I asked "should I give up or keep trying?" and she said "no, no, you keep trying." I felt on top of the world. I then proceeded to put hands on Ainslee all night.

So before we left for the world I went up to Ainslee and asked her if she wanted to leave wirth us and she said no, but she would see us there shortly.

Well we were in the world for half an hour and she didn't turn up. I was pissed off somewhat. I decided to head back to Frasers. I'd like to think it was because I figured she might not have had ID and didn't get in, but deep down it was because I suspected that, DEPITE what i'd been told, she wasn't coming.

In frasers she was playing pool with the dude from the other hostel, and he had his hands on her all the time. Apparaently her and the dude had won 5 straight games of pool. I was MEGA PISSED, and I told her - I said, because this is the truth of the matter man, I told her what her friend had told me, and said:

"I don't know why you said you were coming to the world, I was waiting for you and you never showed and now you're with this guy, and I just want you to know, and this isn't meant to be a guilt-trip, that you've made me miserable for the rest of the night and this whole thing doesn't really help my whole attitude towards the opposite sex. You shouldn't have said you'd meet me." And then I left. She was surprised that it could have such an effect on me, her saying she'd meet me, and she said she DID fancy me but that she just wanted to party, and, well, I felt completely justified in giving her shit. It's not like I couldn't have been nastier than I was. In hindsight, I think it was justified at the time.

I met some San Fran girls in the street and told them my sorry tale, and they took me under their wing and we hit some clubs. Then we went to meet this bartender at Frasers who hands out free drinks flyers in the hostels and Ainslee and Lynsey and the dude were the last people in there. The san Fran girls growled at the Canadians, knowing the shitty night i'd had because of them, and we went on to another club. I chatted with some Kiwi girls (I love Kiwi people by trhe way - Really simple folk that you don't have to second guess.) and then I walked home, after the San fran girls left.

At home I stomped up to the lounge, on the off chance that Ainslee would be in there - Despite everything, I felt like I needed closure? Or maybe I was just horny, or upset. Whatever.

I entered the lounge and heard one lone person around the corner. Before I even turned it I knew it was her. She was stood there eating an apricot. It was 3am or thereabouts.

So we chatted, and I apologised to her, though now I don't know why I did. And we sat in the lounge, and I felt like there was so much I wanted to say to her. Instead I discovered that her favourite colour is Turquoise and her favourite number is 23.

Then free beer ticket guy came in - The San Fran chick who he was meant to be with went off with some dreadlocked guy. So Ainslee went to get Lynsey and they had weed and we smoked it on the lounge balcony, and we went back inside and straight away lynsey and ticket guy started going at it! Whoah! Qucik work brother!

So I tried it on with ainslee but she wasn't having it, though I was still putting hands all over her, and she had goosebumps like crazy. Then we went into the kitchen to give those two some privacy, and we hugged and stuff, because more than anything that's what i felt like I needed, and we went back to the lounge and those two were shagging, so we went outside. Ainslee went to her bed and I went to mine.

It's ironic - If I hadnt stomped into Frasers and had a go at ther then I wouldn't have ended up getting home at 3am and mat her in the lounge and discovered that she might have gotten with me if I hadn't freaked her out and pissed her of earlier, but then I wouldn't have gotten it on with her anyway. It's a catch 22 situation.

I'm so sad. I got up early and the Brazilian guy was gone to Milford Sound which is lucky because I got up to turn the alarm off this morning and went straight back to bed without looking to try and wake him up. I rose again at 10 and went to use the hottub but it was nae on until 4, so I went to the lounge (secretly hoping to see Ainslee) and said goodbye to Irish Tom - He's a cool dude, and here I am on the internet now.

I have such a crush on this girl, amplified by the wanting what you can't have maxim. I've got to speak to her today. Don't ask me why."




What are your thought on this my fellow Barbelithians?

I bought a peach the other day. It was a lovely shade of... well, peach, I suppose.

Nice piece of writing. Sorry you had your hopes crushed an' all (cos that does always suck) but it's not like there was a contract in writing or anything. (And telling someone "it's not a guilt thing" is a definite coded way of saying YES IT IS!

Go meet her. Drink booze, hang out and have fun. Don't get your hopes up. "Maybe, maybe not" as Clint would say.

Oh, and... not wishing to stir here, but I couldn't help but add- "not helping my attitude towards the opposite sex"- like, if a black guy mugged you, you'd join the Klan? C'mon.

And then I went to Central Perk and there were these three South African sisters and I swear one of them fancied me, but I didn't have time to talk to them because I was looking the whole time at Francesca, who's from Paris, but she was playing pinball with this guy called Chad and he had his hand up her jumper which is a bit weird because he's supposed to be her brother but I thought 'fuck it' and went to talk to this girl from, oh, I don't know, fucking Slovenia or somewhere, and she looked just like the taller of the Cheeky Girls, you know, the one with the mole on her right shoulder blade *swoon* but she couldn't speak English which really didn't help my attitude to foreigners so I went to watch the pirate tape of ET from 1982 but there were 14 female hockey players from Canada in the bath and they asked me if I had any soap and I didn't so I went to the shop where this girl from Karachi works and bought some but when I got back ALL THE WOMEN HAD DISAPPEARED! LIKE THEY'D NEVER BEEN THERE!

It was really weird.

But that really happened to me. And don't talk to me like that.

It must have been around the time when Andrew, from New Zealand, left for Marocco, where he had encountered two muggers, who, having been given all the contents of Adrews wallet, had stabbed his poor arm, and a subsequent clumsy patch-up job courtesy of a local doctor had sent him back to where we were. I remember all our fun times together, as we didn't possess a TV set, or had a radio, we always looked for extracurricular activities. It meant a lot of walks in the park, and the useful physicality of a frisbee employed. For a month, Arnold's girlfriend Erna, both from Pretoria, South Africa, stayed with us and we misbehaved whereever we could. Erna was delightfully dramatic, and her appearance was, in my eyes, a charming blend of Kate Winslet and Drew Barrymore, so dramatic, in fact, that she would have been frightening in enmity but which never happened among us, as we fit just right. After her return to Africa, it had been arranged that Arnold work through the paperwork, so that she, upon her completion of University, could move to where we were. Now, Erna didn't materialize from a well-off family, so it meant that Arnold, in the name of love, would pay for her transfer. At some point, under the duress of separation and out of sight foolishness, he misjudged his move: told her to earn her fair share of the fare. Which left her fuming. Angry. She broke up with him. And he, the fool, regretted it just the moment after, he suffered and suffered and he was not okay, barely going by as time went on, telling me about how he had kept a diary to her even before they became a couple, that was how much he loved her. At night, around the time of sleep, I lay on the couch, reading a magazine, he on his, reading a book, and he made a query. He would suck my cock, if I promised to write Erna, in the hope of influencing her towards his gain.

The question is, should I have accepted his cocksuckery? And thereby lying through my teeth to Erna?

I suppose they could have been goosebumps of fear, I'll have to ask her. It did enter my mind.

Some of you people suck, by the way. I guess you missed the part where she told me she fancied me.

21:38 / 18.12.02
p.s. It wasn't meant to be a guilt trip, in the sense that I didn't tell her to make her feel guilty, I told her so that she knew the effect that her 'seemingly' inconsequential words could have on a person, i.e. me, and whatever way she reacted to them was the way she reacted. I'm not in control of that. I was just sick and tired of girls fobbing me off with bullshit and unfortunately picked a really sweet girl to have a go at.

It's all good now though

Just so you know, most girls don't take it well when some guy comes back 30 minutes after you tell them you'll "meet them later" (which means, "later" and is usually a few hours later) and you're kicking fucking ass in pool and having fun flirting and then said guy who you're not even dating or anything comes back in less than an hour and tells you you've lied and you're not helping his problems with women (as if you were supposed to). It's not a big turn-on, that sort of behavior.

Serious answer Knodge? Some girl saying she fancies you is not evidence of a lifetime bond with that person. In here you are giving off big desperate vibes, not very attractive, so think what they are like out there. Maybe you're trying too hard? Try relating to people as if they are real and not simply there to piss you off or fuck you and you might get on better.

And maybe she wasn't a nice person?
