April 21st 2008

Today I went to Bondi for the first time since 1995. I went alone, at around 7-8pm. I'm so glad my weekly train ticket worked on the buses because the trains aren't going til tomorrow and that saved me like, a billion dollars (yes, don't go thinking everything's cheap here, buses still fuck you over like they do in NZ in Sydney.. except they go through orange lights so I actually like them better) first stop.. Bondi Beach!! I'm a sucker for beaches at night. I love cold sand and no people and black waves and moonlight. It's so beautiful. I took some photos, the waves were pretty wild. One splashed right up my knees and wet my dress! Haha, I love the beach. I was so glad to be at one, I hadn't been to one in ages. Since home, so it was fab.
It was good to have a bit of time alone as well. I left my shoes under this bench that this couple were having mad pashes on, it was a bit awkward grabbing my shoes after but fine. Then I went to see Die! Die! Die! at the beach rd hotel. There were quite a few people, it was another fantastic show. Andrew grabbed me while they played 'throw a fit' and let me sing a bit with him into the mic! Made my day. I felt a bit sad this weekend but, because seeing them every night for 3 days kept reminding me of home, of when I would stay home alone everyday and listen to them in the kitchen. All day long in Titirangi. It was good though, in a way seeing them made me feel slightly stronger. It kind of does that seeing someone from home, away from home.
Andrew said to me on the first night, 'Don't forget who you are Ruby, don't let Sydney change you, keep your mana! Kia Kaha!' - Done and doing... : )
