Well !!!! where to start?
Hmmm.. I suppose it all started with Friday night (cue harp music and shape-shifting screen effects)
Had a really really good performance Friday night, better than thursday night and with a better crowd!!
Then saturday.. well.. finished off the main part of my VB assignment early morning, all coding was done, all working, etc etc. So treated myself by going down to the beach with Dave and Sandy. Yes, the clouds came over, but this did not deter us, we, the hardcore beachgoers us. Naturally, we all ended up in the Coogee Bay Hotel for Oktoberfest celebrations….
And then Gus came up with his unified theory of Chiko Rolls.

The Chiko Roll is not all it seems to be. Sold harmlessly by that kind man Mustafa in the Fish n’ Chip Shop and eaten by many around the world, it is not realised (save for the visions of the author here) that it will be Chiko Rolls that will save, but also destroy the earth.

For we do not know exactly what is IN a Chiko Roll… it is a wonder and miracle of nature. What this author has realised, however, is that the Chiko Roll is responsible for containing the “X” Factor, a chemical not yet discovered. The properties of the X Factor are known though.. it can produce great amounts of energy, explosive gaseous emissions and heat, when combusted or combined with other chemicals, that is disproportionate to the roll’s size and mass. There will be a day, and it HAS been forseen, that the world’s nuclear reactors, coal power plants and even solar generators will be replaced by Chiko Roll Reactors (CRR). These reactors combine not only the unique properties and unimaginable chemical and nuclear compositions of Chicko Rolls but also that of McDonald’s BBQ Sauce, producing enough energy to power entire cities.

The uses of the Chiko Roll are endless. They can be used in space travel, for their light weight and unbelieveable power can cause spaceships to reach near the velocity of light (the sub-space nuclear properties of Chiko Rolls do not get discovered for many millennia) Planets can then be colonised, because energy can be so freely supplied by a single fish n’ chip shop set up upon landing on the planet (manned by one of Mustafa’s cousins, Mustafa). The human population then multiplies, and the Chiko Roll even finds its way into the area of Health, where it is discovered that the unique makeup of a Chiko Roll can prevent cancer and cause the body to regenerate 10 times faster.

Alas though. It will also be our doom. On a colonised planet near Alpha Centauri… Mustafa makes the unwitting mistake of mashing two Chiko Rolls (covered in McDonald’s BBQ Sauce) together in his Fish n’ Chip shop into an unidentifiable lump. The two Rolls undergo matter – antimatter annihlation, and what results is complete matter to energy conversion that results in a blast of energy greater than a supernova. The planet is converted to a black hole, and the entire solar system surround the planet is crushed to a singularity. Unfortunately, at the same time, Mustafa was on the phone to his brother Mustafa down on Earth, and was telling him about his new recipe for Chiko Roll Souffle, with BBQ sauce glaze. Earth is no more.

So beware the Chiko Roll. Beauty, taste, power and fortune, it is also our ultimate destroyer.

Ok, so from the beach I come back, make myself look beautiful and go and meet Ryan at newtown station. I saw him there.. he looked so gorgeous I wanted to kiss him there and then, outside the station! But I guess I must be a little reserved… behave Gussy!!! Anyway, bringing him back after a meal at Burgerlicious, I left him in the good hands of Dave and went to get ready for my performance. The performance, of course, went off almost perfectly, and the crowd was raving about it. Ohh.. and one comment on an audience member.. I shall put in another LJ Cut so as not to ruin the mood….

After I got off stage, everone was in raptures. I was getting my hand shaken by nearly everyone I walked past. Alumni puling me over, my friends giving me hugs. And Cara, who, I thought, was at least supportive and a friend. I was discussing how wierd it would be without the play, considering how much time we put into it. Then she says “oh gus don’t worry, it wouldn’t matter to you, ‘cos your a really shit actor anyway”. I stopped in my tracks. THEN she tries to dig herself out of a hole and say “oh, you’re just too camp to be on stage”. I almost lost it there, if it wasn’t for Ryan standing right beside me Then she had the hide to say to Sam “oh, thank god I wasn’t in the play”. Btw.. fyi, (Cara tried out for the play and didn’t get in) I didn’t let it get to me.. but on the final night, no matter how shit you were, it’s your night of fame and popularity!!! that type of shit just wasn’t on

So back to the story….
Yes, after the play, ended up having drinks with Alumni, which I invited Ryan to (after all, other cast members brought their partners, so I did too!). And then the cast party, which involved a bit of drinking I must say!
That was ok, left that at about 3:30 and dragged Ryan off with me Slept for a few hours, then woke up, with my arms around him *siiiigh*, and felt at peace with the world Nothing could destroy that moment! And then watched a few movies and episodes of “scrubs”.. then got Ryan breakfast in bed (aren’t I a good bf), complete with Bacon, eggs, spaghetti, left-over stir-fry, muffins, toast and Orange Juice Then decided to make a move on the day, took Ryan to coffee at Campos, then drove him up north to St Ives. Spent an hour or two at home with the folks, and came back down to Sydney, finished off the goup assignment and submitted it, and here I am! *sigh*
What a weekend!!!

And things are going so well between me and Ryan… I must remind myself to pace myself and not rush (thank you Nate.. is good advice! ) .. but hopefully now that I have free time, things will go so much better I think there is a lot to Ryan… and over time I will discover new things all the time.

anyway, Gussy off to bed now!!! *mwa* to all, and a a hug thrown in ‘cos i’m in a good mood!
