rugby world cup - god save the england team

well i survived and i am still awake.

crazy crazy. i met my sailing buddies for a few beers and saw the skipper there as well. then headed back for a nap. magically woke up at 2:30 and went to the bar to meet lorraine (that i just sailed with). you had to be there by three and couldnt leave and get back in. and the game started at 5. weird. i didnt drink but i had a good time. made some new mates and cheered for england - i even had a my face painted with a little england flag.

the funny story is that there was no mirror in the men's room so he did his own south african flag while in the girl's room. i told him that others would want flags and that if he was smart he could make some money. well he didnt make any money - he earned drinks instead. so for an hour and a half he went around painting flags on faces until the game started.

england lost 9-15. i think i might even understand rugby now - rules and penalties - which isnt bad for my first game ever - at 5am. if i played though i would wear a helmet. and have a skull tattoo on my arm or something. they wear such short tight trousers - i would look good. :)

i am taking the 9 bus, but had to call at 8, the game ended around 7 - no point in taking a nap 1 - bc i dont really have time and 2 - bc i dont have an alarm clock to wake myself up anyway! off to townsville for reef HQ so i can absorb more marine biology information (matt the pirate (that i just sailed with) said he was there all day and went to every talk so i think it will be good)
