Drunk Boys

Day 101

I think I'm ready to leave Sydney.

Have not been drinking alcohol since the incident. At 10pm I went into my room and there was a party kicking off although 4 out of the 5 people in there I had never seen before (usually it's just the people who sleep in the room that are in there so this was quite odd). The tunes were pumping (good) but someone had spilt goon on my bed (bad).

One Canadian guy was trying to convince me to go out with them. I explained to him why I wasn't drinking and even showed him the huge cut running along the back of my head to which his first reaction was 'nice!' followed by trying to tell me that if I drunk some goon it would make my head feel better... and so the traveller's drinking habits are revealed - but not for me. You can keep your goon Mr. Canadian man. Enjoy your hangover while my head heals (the lump on it is scarily big).

Hoping no more goon would be spilt on my bed sheets I left them to their lil' party and went to watch the film 'Old School' with the other people in the hostel who had their own reasons for staying in on a Friday night. Needless to say, there weren't many of us.

Unluckily for me the Swedish guy who sat next to me on the sofa was drunk and had seen the film many, MANY times before and felt the need to show us how cool he was by saying the punchlines of the jokes in the film before they were due and laughing so loud while eating Crunchy Nut Cornflakes straight from the box. You know this is the guy everyone hates at the cinema.

When the film had finished, a really drunk American guy with a mohican appeared and sat next to me, helping himself to my bottled water before I had a chance to say, 'help yourself'. He demanded to know why I wasn't coming to the bar so I told him about my recent hospital visit to which he replied, 'but if you don't come to the bar we aren't going to be able to make out'. It was amusing but I wasn't convinced and declined the offer. He strangely shook my hand and staggered off.
