my new years...

[aimzes]

after getting getiing blind and at least making it to midnight without passing out i decided it was time to go home.

i didnt expect it to be as easy as walking to to a bus stop and flaggin down a bus but dead set finding a bus that would take me anywhere near my suburb after midnight was damn near impossible. i was about 30 mins walk from home and i was tempted to walk it but when i half sobered up i realised i would have to trek through a not so good part of sydney where ive had a couple of minor "incidents" over the years.

i sat at a bus stop with about 30 people going my general direction. not a cab in sight and 4 busses that would have at least taken me through the bad areas refused to stop even though they had seats available.

i was sober enough to decide against walking but still way too drunk to actually see that the bus i eventually flagged down would take me to an even worse area. i gave the driver a fiver, forgot to get my change, ticket and also forgot to ask where the hell i was going to end up.

we finally go to an area that looked familiar... some s**ty suburb. three women got off with me so i asked them where they were off to. as it turns out they had got on the wrong bus and were going to look for a cab... they also lived a few blocks from my house. waited a few mins for a cab and i asked them if i payed could i share it to my house. they then told me to get stuffed and said they were only talking to me so they had a bloke near them if some idiots decided to make any trouble. i said thanks alot and waited by myself for about 10 mins for another taxi.

so 10 mins pass and i think f-this im off, start walking and about 20 blokes yell out "oi c--t". i pretty much s--t myself and turned to bolt... theres a cab pulling up. never been so releived in all my life. i jump in and about 5 mins into the journey we spot another taxi stopped on a main road.

we pull up to see what the deal was. itd just lost all power and refused to start. the driver then said something to his passengers then asked me if i was willing to share mine with his customers who needed to get home as one felt ill. there were no other cabs in the area as they were all busy in the city. they were also willing to cover the costs. i was about to say yes then i recognised one of them. they were the girls who left me stranded.

i gave them a nice big smile and waved as my cab pulled away. without them.

what a f--kin night. anyone else have as much fun as me?
