And so ends another day!
Just finished work.. big function tonight. Worked at the Hordern Pavillion, for good ol’ Johnny H and his boys. Wasn’t too bad… I had a few MP’s on my table, which was right next to the PM’s table. Lots of big names though. A few quirky things:

  • Why oh why did the even have to be hosted by Alan Jones?? Interesting.. I thought he and the PM had a big fight a few weeks ago :p
  • Whilst he was rehearsing, I heard Kamahl sing the national anthem, forget the words, and sing the last few lines out of tune. I swear the live version was lip-synched
  • Why does Peter Costello have to be THE most annoying speaker ever? He tries so hard to have a sense of humour!
  • I know I’m a Young Lib and meant to be supportive, but my god did Johnny talk a lot of crap tonight!
  • Politicians really are full of shit. And drink waaaaay too much! Chatted to a few though.. they get much more lively with a few glasses of wine in ‘em.
  • I was quite entertained by the 400 or so protesters out the front at the beginning. Do they actually realise that they people they are protesting to simply walk past and joke about them once they’re inside?

    In other, more… shall we say serious news.. Mum rang this morning and told me that she had a surgical consult and will have to have a full masectomy on her right breast. For those that don’t know what that means, she’s going to lose her right tit. I think she is a little scared. She said Dad doesn’t care, but talking to him today it’s definately affected him. I just don’t think he knows how to deal with it. Apparently my brother is so sick at the moment he can’t walk. I will have my mobile on all weekend and try to stay in contact with them all. I’m sure Mum will need as much support as I can give her. She’s got a fire inside her keeping her going… I just hope it stays alight.

    I need a break, people. I’m heading out of this godforsaken city tomorrow at 2pm, and leaving all this shit behind. At least for a weekend. Spending it with Adam, and hopefully will come back feeling a thousand times better. I wish I had my laptop though! I would be able to send a post from Bathurst. Oh well. Can’t have everything!
