The 1000 Day Holiday

Today Saffron met Suzanne, a potential flatmate.

Saff: So youre from Sweden?

Suz: No, Finland

Saff: So youre from Sweden then.

We have a cool new german flat mate who moves in next week.

A funny thing is that we didn’t have 1 australia look at our place!

Well we have advertised.

Had a few around sunday night.

Saffron is on a power trip that as she is taking over the lease she wants:

Someone who doesnt party (ie just studies)
Someone who has lots of house stuff to contribute.
Someone who is never going to move out.

in other words she desires a bad sequel. alal “Attack of the Hermit II”

I also raised the point that when she move in she:
had nothing to contribute to the flat stuff.
she loves to party

We had a cool Irish chick come round, and she had no good reason not to like her.
I think its the ‘female=competition’ chick thought process.

In preparation for the hermits internet boyfriend moving to Australia, she has found a 1 bedroom love nest.

If only she had done that 2 years ago! ah well.. better late than never!

made my day

I got home from climbing tonite (completed a full yellow climb! woot)

and the hermit was just making dinner. She had a whole bbq chicken from the supermarket.
Heres the thing. She only eats the breast meat. She throws the rest away because its yucky.

Go figure, she did however give the rest to me happy flattie

Todays Quote:

Shane was discussing how brisbane’ites seemed much more laid back compared to sydney.
Saffron imparted:

People who live in hot places are happier

I said that didnt seem right if looking at iraq.

I cant believe I havent documented some of the funny quotes happening around our flat of late.

We were at Brunch at Concrete in Pyrmont on a Sunday morning after a decidely hard nite.

Saff, Shane, Kristen & myself in attendance.

I ordered the big breaky, and thats all you need to know for this story.

About 10 minutes after my food arrived, saff got that perplexed look on her face and kept looking at my food.

Then it came

How do Japanese people eat a big breakfast with chopsticks. It would have to come out all chopped up into little bits.

a little while on, the next one flowed forth

This is so good! We should do this annually.

Shane subtly prodded, with a statement saying he’ll meet us here on the 3rd of july next year then.
Saff didnt pick up on it.

And not until we raised it directly on the way home did she click.
She just thought “it meant something else”

tee hee

Peabody (the new flatmate) lasted just a week before being hospitalised. I thought it very polite to offer some of my curry to him, however having a pipe inserted in his stomach to drain an infection doesn’t rate my cooking too highly.

But in all reality. It coiuld have been the tequilas!

Well the hermit fell for the highly technical

“emergency situation at home, blank lines, then har har its a joke” email

midnight where she is, and she was ringing my cellphone, home phone, and undoubtedly the other flatmates as well. heheheh

made my day.

To: The Hermit
Subject: rent!

haha, guess waht

the landlord called me today. he was quite panicked.

he said that we hadnt paid rent since march 14!

I checked, and he was right.. muahahahahahahahahahah!

So we are moving out this weekend…

not!

bahahahahahahahahahah
naah, the AP stopped/cancelled/deleted….. i guess after a year, i
cant remember how i set it up..

but anyways, got him paid uptodate so hes happy.

a report on goings on:
we have a canadian dude moving in saturday or sunday.
seems to be nice n relaxed.

and saff hasnt been turning off the electric toothbrush chargers.. and
we havent burnt down!

GRIN

have fun

The little green leprechaun is leaving us after almost 18 months. So its time to find a new flatmate!

but the point of this post:
Well the Hermit has gone to the USA to see her boyfriend.

In order to keep the house safe from evil/fire/random acts of god, she left the following instructions for ‘Teeth’:

just a few details about my trip:

I get back on the 18th

i can be reached on 0011….

if you want to use my IP phone in my bedroom just hit the ‘rocket dial’ button

(ed: i think this equates to the big red emergency phone in batman!)

my email is….

With the new person:

please convince moby to choose someone good (considerate and clean =yay)

as i am the front loader powder nazi, i have left a box of washing powder +a dirty clothes hamper on my floor, can you give it to the new person?

(ED: URGH! now she will insit this thing is in the new persons room. you dont own them! you dont even know who they are yet!)

General safety issues: (you know im a safety nut, or just a nut in general)
as you are the nicest and most responsible person at our flat, im trusting you to not let the house burn down. can you please:

make sure nothing in the bathroom is switched on while people are at work

(ED: yep! she even turns the electric toothbrush chargers off!)

lock all doors, esp the one near your room
make sure noone leaves the heater unattended ( a huge cause of fires recently)

turn off things that arent in use eg toaster, kettle, + tv

make sure the hair straightener is not left on any heat sensitive surfaces

I know its all common sense, but often its not followed here + you know im a bit/lot crazy when it comes to stuff like this.

please clone yourself and more into the leprechauns room, youre a top person/flatamate
seeya
The Hermit

Notes: she even had her dad come and change the smoke detector battery, even tho I did it only a month ago.
shes frikken crazy!, maybve i should ring her every day to say i keep finding the toothbrushes turned on.
Or maybe i should hardwire them so when she comes back she flips out!
