Is that a banana in your pants? in Stuff

I got a bit of shock being awoken this morning by a delivery man knocking on the front door. I must be edgy or something because I was actually awoken by the footsteps walking onto the front balcony before he even reached the door. The knock was actually pretty quiet.
And because I’ve been awaiting a delivery for over a month now (Vish’s birthday present), whenever there’s a knock, I get excited thinking that it’s finally arrived, only to be disappointed that it’s actually something for one of my housemates. It’s happened at least 5 times now just last month. Ergh.
Anyway, so this morning’s was fun. I’m right near the front door, but I slept naked last night and I woke up with a morning-glory, but I always want to try and answer the door before the delivery driver gets impatient and leaves a note in the mail-box etc. So that was fun. Tearing myself out of bed, trying to find pants, trying to hide said hard-on down the leg of those pants, which still left nothing to the fucking imagination, and I answered the door only to find that it was a grocery delivery, which obviously wasn’t mine.
I was annoyed. What time was it?? Where was I?
I snapped, “Who’s it for?” to the poor delivery driver, who was only doing his job haha. He had a look at the paperwork and said, “Kurt **…”
Oh, the new housemate.
So I was like, “Hang on I’ll go get him,” and I went upstairs and knocked on his door. I heard something crash inside the room haha. He must have still been asleep too or I startled him. He answered the door without a shirt on, and I just said, “Delivery for you” and went back downstairs to my room and took the pants back off and back into bed.
It was then that I realized my underwear was still hanging from the bottom of those pants that I’d taken off when I crawled into bed last night. I was in such a rush that I threw the pants on but not the underwear just to answer the door. So both the delivery driver and my housemate would have noticed the underwear hanging down from the pant-leg that I hadn’t even realized was there. Doh.
I then looked at my LED clock. 6-freaking-30AM! Like, what the hell?? ERGH, I thought Nick’s constant delivery’s at 7:30am were bad on my days off.
Then I settled down a bit when I thought about how this early in the day is probably the only time the new housemate could get his groceries delivered, since he works such long hours. It’s 8:30pm and he’s still not home now.
He’s pretty cool though. I think he felt bad that I’d answered the door rather than him cos he said “I thought I’d heard the front door” before grumpy-me went back to bed haha. I then didn’t wake up until around mid-day! I must have been tired from all that walking yesterday.
He even hangs his washing out on the line in their hangers so that there’s way more space because they hang sideways. I don’t think I’ve had a housemate who does that before.
I just did some boring-ass domestics and shopping today, preparing for the work-week ahead. I’ve only been going to the gym once a week, which I’m kicking myself over. I just hate doing shit I don’t like on my days off. You know, like being woken up at 6:30am! It would have been fine if it was like a Friday since I’m at work by that time anyway, but it’s not like I can help that.
I’m off to Sydney again in a few weeks, via the TigerAir sale. I have to apply for a Sunday off work though, so it’ll be a slightly shorter trip than last time, but longer than usual (4 nights). Then I find out today that Tiger are having another $1 return sale, which they tend to do every now and then, so I did what I usually do and booked my flights for Mardi Gras next year, since it always matches the dates that it’s on. Woohoo! $76 return flight, not bad. The website was playing up though because I guess it’s overloaded but when I just searched the flights normally between those dates, the $1 fare came up, so all good. I went on the Facebook page to see what was up with the website, but all I saw was people saying, “Don’t do it! Tiger suck! They cancelled my flight and I got stuck!”
You know, nothing unusual.
I’ve been pretty lucky with them, but I’ve heard what they can be like, so I just think of it like, “Well if they cancel the flight, I just won’t go.” It’s annoying, but life does go on, people! I just play by their rules, which are basically “be at the boarding gate 45 minutes early” and “Make sure you’re under the cabin-bag weight limit”. Once you do those two, they are just like any other airline, just with more cancellations haha.
It’s hard to predict other destinations though, since the travel-dates are still six months away. I’m dying to get back to Melbourne and to also check out Canberra for the first time. They have just begun Perth flights and the Canberra ones start up in mid-August I believe, so there’s a chance I may be able to finally check out my nation’s Capital.
I mean, my life doesn’t really change all that much, so I could probably book a few trips, but I just never know what I’ll be doing or if I’ll have the same shifts/job/whatever.
I think I was writing this exact same thing this time last year when they had the $1-return sale.
I’m annoyed that I can’t get accommodation in Lismore over the New Year. It’s already booked out! It’s just too popular and there aren’t enough hotels. The closest ones are in Casino! I doubt there’s many AirB&B’s there either, but I’ve never used that yet. I’m considering getting a tent or sleeping in a hire car haha. I should be able to get away with it in the middle of nowhere. I don’t even know why I want to go to Tropical Fruits again. I mean, it was a bit of fun this year but I can say I’ve done it. And it’s way too friggin expensive for a party in a NSW country showground. The tickets for that go on sale in a months time (Sep 1st) I’m still thinking about that one.
Also, Alanis Morissette just announced her first tour in 20 years, but she’s only doing Sydney and Melbourne - you know, cos she’s too good for Brisbane. She might be cool to see live, provided she does her songs from 21 years ago and not the weird-ass ones from the last few albums :P
