Ravyn & Woody's Summer Fun

[woodyloveslinkin]

Well as some of you guys might have read in other sections of the board, mother and child met for the first time, in the remote (*cough* hole *cough*)..sorry I had something stuck in my throat, as I was saying before, in the remote Aussie town which happened to hold the title of Rav's home town and which it was a near six hour train/bus trip for me, each way from my home town.

 

Now, would I disappoint, more like, would WE disappoint you guys on LPF by not telling some stories, showing the photos, and letting you see a video of me drinking in the pool (drunk off my gut btw)?

 

The answer is ........NO

 

Now before I start copying and pasting the urls of the pictures that I posted up on facebook into this thread, I might give you an insight to what I am like drunk - witnessed twice by my poor adopted mother and my adopted grandparents. Now I'll first of tell you a sober story of what happened to me down by a river.

 

Rav's parents, her and I, decided to go yabby fishing (they are a crayfish btw) down on the river. The first spot we had tried, I screamed because Rav's stepdad came near me with a yabby and I am still to this day terrified of anything that's slippery, has claws, swims, and is part of the crayfish classification of animals. But wait there is more. The second spot we tried, I decided to be a smart ass and actually get down and dirty with the job. So because on the banks it was shallow, I spotted a tree, not far from the bank of the river. I walked through the water with my make shift fishing pole and decided to fish from the tree. Now, the interesting part of it, was the getting down part of it. Because the branch that I had decided to sit on and "fish" on (I had the meat half submerged in the water lol) extended over past the bank where I needed to get off cos I couldn't be bothered getting wet again and getting down to walk back into the water. So I reached out for small branch, as I was lying flat on my stomach, I overbalanced and you know what sound was made next?

SPLASH! I had fallen into the water and when I stood up, all I heard was a roar of laughter. It had happened about ten or so seconds after Rav had suggested to her mum to go get the camera. And the bad part about that part was it was literally a brand new shirt in which I had gotten just hours before.

 

Now the drunk stories - I can't exactly recall them for obvious reasons, so Rav will have to tell everyone. But I do remember saying something about the flames from the BBQ was heating up the pool, which was about three or four metres away from the BBQ. Lol!

 

Now to the photos, well, to my lot anyway.

 

Mental note - We did a lot of taking photos of one another when the other person wasn't looking. Well, I kinda started it. Lol.

Rav in the pool. Five seconds later she turns around and says to me "Don't think I didn't notice that."

I like my facebook caption to this photo "God! Is she pregs with David's (Draiman from Disturbed) child already?"

Yay, Rav has friends.

Jack doesn't live there, Rav does.

Mother and daughter united at last dammit!

 

 

But there are more incriminating photos of me to come - and a video (in which I want to post on facebook =p). Now according to what I heard when I was drunk I apparently -

> Laid down on the floor in the kitchen, and ate an ice cream.

> Kept burning myself repeatitively when I was picking up a cigarette

> Fell asleep on the floor in between Rav's bed and the wall

 

That's all I can remember right now.

[Jeezy]

looks like you had a good time

[LPNailz]

Hahahaha...the drunk stories should be fun :-P

[MrsBennington-Delson]

w00t another LPF kinda meet up I love that haha

 

Nice pics!

You told me bout the drunken stories on msn and I really cant wait to see the vid haha

sounds so fun

[Jeezy]

are we gonna get more footage ?

[woodyloveslinkin]

Yeah, when Rav comes on. She has the rest of the footage.

[Ravynlee]

She does, unfortunately (and not altogether surprisingly) madam here has somehow lost her Bluetooth dongle, meaning all the incriminating evidence I have on my phone can't be transfered until I A) find it or B) buy another one, neither one a feasable option right about now, which sucks major ass, considering I use it religiously to transfer music and such to my phone - and now I can't! *panics*

(I get paid next weekend, I'll buy one then

 

 

On a totally different matter, the holiday was fun. I laughed. I ate. I drank. I mostly laughed (and ate, and drank, enough for maybe three people, which in itself was fun too! - which on second thought makes me think about that pic of me in a green shirt! *gasp* *lmao* *don't I just wish?* *blushes*) Was good going home to see my folks again - I love my mum, as Sarah would have noted - and meeting Sarah was a bit scary, if only because I've spent a while talking to her on the phone and she's what I'm not - a good talker

 

I was a bit worried about what I was gonna do when she arrived, in being that she's a bit of an extrovert and I'm not, and my old home town really is a hole, she's not exaggerating there, and there really isn't much of anything to do (thank god my folks have a small wader pool or we'd have spent the whole time in front of Pay TV) She talks a lot about everything (especially Jack, that deep and meaningful she had with my mum in the backyard was amusing) and I don't. And yeah I didn't really know her, so yeah that was a bit freaky, but all in all was good - amusing! OMG! I laughed... laughed so hard I cried several times...

Sarah's an amusing drunk.

I wish I could show you the pictures... you'll have to wait a few more days, sorry guys.

 

But as for stories. Well, where do I start?

To start with she missed the stop. She was on the bus and realised as it was leaving town again that she was supposed to get off earlier - and she told me quite innocently afterwards 'I wondered where the lady sitting in front of me went to' XD Funny girl. So after a barrage of text messages and two trips to the bus stop and patrolling the street looking for her, we finally met. Took her home. And man did she get wasted! That was hilarious! In a few hours as my folks sat watching TV she and I sat out in the kitchen and out on the front varandah and just talked. Actually Sarah talked, I just smiled at her a lot, she was amusing. She got drunk quite fast and half-rolled down the front stairs. Just sort of lay there with her legs in the air laughing. Silly girl

Inside she repeated herself. Got to the point I was holding up fingers to show her how many times she'd told me something she'd already told me. Funny.

Outside out the back having a smoke she was that wasted she dropped it in the grass. She bent down to pick it up and everytime she did she burnt herself. She reminded me of Bart Simpson in the episode where he tries to take a cupcake that's attached to an electrode or some such - imagine; reaching "ouch!" Reaching "ouch!" Reaching "Ouch!" Reaching "Ouch!"

It was so danged funny I was in tears laughing at her. I had to hide behind Wayne (my stepdad) cause I didn't want to risk insulting the poor girl but man I near wet myself from laughing so hard! No kidding!

 

The other funny part was her showing us how to get out of a tree while 'fishing.'

What she told you was pretty much it, but imagine, Sarah up a tree one second, next second; *scream* *splash* Sarah stands up gasping in the water. Mum and I laughed so hard it's all you could hear over the storm behind us! She lost her glasses in the mud somewhere (Wayne promises if he finds them he'll post them XD ) and yes christened her new shirt she'd only just bought... wow, hilarious. Shame I didn't catch it on vid but I did get a before pic (and will post it as soon as I can, so you can all laugh along too, promise!) we simply didn't have time (or the will from laughing so hard) to race off and grab the camera for an after shot

 

So we spent much of the time in one of three places; in front of the TV watching American Chopper or anything on the CI channel (my family's like me, love bikes, crime, mystery and such - poor Sarah was obviously bored watching the OCC marathon! Awww), or in the little pool (that's where I spent the first half of Xmas day getting waterlogged in more ways than one) or in the room; talking.

 

So the night before she left she got SO wasted. We were watching Constantine (good movie) and later The Departed (I saw half, she saw bits and pieces) on her portable DVD player. She was laying down using my lap as a pillow, drinking her Smirnov or whatever the hell it was, and started snoring.

I think it was after Constantine we had some ice cream - or she did. She was sitting on the cow-skin mat in the old pool room and was patting it, yes, patting it, and later crawled across the floor to lay beside the refrigerator. I gave her her ice cream and she lay there eating it - despite my warnings she should at least sit up and she might choke if she wasn't careful. She was eating her ice cream and talking to me but was so drunk she couldn't focus - her eyes were everywhere - that in itself cracked me up. In the room watching The Departed she fell asleep on and off, despite her assurances she wasn't asleep even if she was snoring. So I left her to sleep and went out to watch TV. Came back in and she woke up. I grabbed my PJs and went to get changed. Came back and found her on the floor beside my bed alseep - I helped her up and put her to bed. Even fetched her some water as she dozed, a little worried she'd choke on her vomit if she stayed on her back (for the record she didn't hurl, I was just worried she might). She lay there in the dark a few hours talking in her sleep. I thought at first she was talking to me so I answered her.

She kept asking / saying; "I'm not crazy am I?"

Me: "No, you're not crazy man, it's all good."

Sarah: "I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy, am I?"

Me: "No Sarah, you're not, you're just drunk. Get some sleep."

Sarah (a few minutes later mumurs in her sleep) "Crazy... not crazy..."

Imagine that for an hour at least... wow... she even dropped her water bottle all over the floor and woke up wondering why the carpet and some of her stuff was all wet. That's how far gone she was. She didn't even remember being on the floor!

(Bless her, she even can't stop talking in her sleep! How the hell are we related again?? XD)

 

So yeah, that's the impression she left us, well, my parents at least. But it was funny, and as bored as it probably was she seemed okay. All we really did was sit around (or flop around in the pool) and drink and eat... but she even got me to listen to White Stripes (I bought her Jack for Xmas, she bought me a necklace and a little white xmas bear she named David - cause he's hairy and white she said, aww sweet) so that was amusing I guess. I didn't like them and still don't, but no matter, she came over to see me, we met, and had fun, that's the main thing.

Pity I don't have the evidence to show ya's. Soon, soon.

 

Oh and for the record, I wonder does Sarah remember the talk she had with mum about Jack? Actually mum had heard so much about this Jack I had to show her, so I showed her the White Blood Cells CD cover that I'd bought her. Mum was not impressed. Back outside Sarah challenged 'so what do you think?'

Mum: (silence) 'Yeah. Well.'

After a few minutes;

Sarah: 'Well do you like Rob?'

Mum: 'No.'

Sarah: 'Do you like David?'

Mum: 'No.'

(I show her the pic on my phone) Mum frowns at it and goes 'And what, is he meant to be gorgous or something is he?'

Sarah cracks up. Then when Sarah asked 'Who do you like more?'

Mum points to David (at first she thinks he has hair, but then sees he doesn't and despite the fact he's bald says him). Sarah cracks up again. They have a deep and meaningful about guys looking like guys vs metrosexuals and some such.

Mum: 'Listen, I'm not into guys that spend more time infront of a bathroom mirror than I do.'

(Cheers mum, wonder where I get that opinion from?)

Then as Sarah defends all the White Stripes covers etc mum really gets defensive about 'original' music and how covers are just 'lazy. All the hard work's done for them.'

That was just... went on for ages... you should've seen it, talk about bridging the generation gap.

 

Mum didn't even mind (eventually) Sarah calling her grandma and nanna I believe. Wayne just laughed and rolled his eyes. That pretty much sums it up for yaz. And can't be all bad, she kept saying 'Rav your parents are the best!' which really made them smile. Me too. I know it already Aww.

 

So yeah anyway, pics (and vid) when I can manage it

Sorry about the rant. Had to be said while I was thinking of it.

[Blue Sky Turtles]

Where's the vid?

*puppy eyes*

[Ravynlee]

Sarah's uploaded it on her Youtube account.

Unfortunately the pic's not good quality and the vid itself is askew (meaning it's horizontal when it should be upright) and I was moderately sober when I recorded that! Just takes a better pic (and is easier to hold) on an angle. Unfortuantely yeah, it's a shit vid. But it's up for those that wanna see it >> http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=M2Hm2cNmlDg

 

And for the record why I took it, it should be evident after a watch, is that mum had already sprayed her with the hose before this vid and she had squealed and splashed about in such a way I found it hilarious. We dared mum to do it again (my stepdad and I) and so we waited while sarah swam about blissfully ignorant... hahaha

 

As for the pics here they are (mostly).

She's a bit of a drunken mermaid but was so damned funny splashing about drunk in the pool those few days she was there, most of the shots I have are of her in the pool. It was how we escaped the heat really.

Sarah drunk on the kitchen floor. Eating an ice cream cone.

I was worried she'd choke but she defied me at one point and laid flat on her back eating it.

For the record she did get more horizontal as time went on XD

 

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p410/zednug/ABCD0002.jpg

I love this pic. The drunken mermaid in all her glory. Love the expression on her face. Priceless.

 

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p410/zednug/ABCD0003.jpg

Trying to look sober.

 

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p410/zednug/ABCD0005.jpg

The 'I'm bored, get me the hell outta here' pose. Love it. Sarcasm without words.

 

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p410/zednug/ABCD0004.jpg

Sarah's idea of yabbying - up a tree with a stick and the bait hanging out of the water.

This is just minutes before she hit the water herself. Still laughing just thinking about it.

Ahh memories.

 

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p410/zednug/ABCD0010.jpg

Posing. Again, in water. Sarah drunk in water. Surprised she remembered the visit at all.

 

There were more but they were too dark to post. And she should be thankful as trashed as she got passing out on the floor and such, I didn't immortalise her stupidity. It was damned hilarious at the time, but I guess there a few moments now we can look back on and laugh at just between us like little inside jokes. Ahh... memories indeed.

[woodyloveslinkin]

R.I.P My sunglasses.

[Ravynlee]

Yup. And any shred of dignity you had that day along with it.

Great stuff!

[woodyloveslinkin]

To view the video the right way around > http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=116251040354

(I should be very lucky there was only one video there was ample opportunity for more).

 

Lol. That mermaid pic of me is now my facebook display pic.

 

p.s. can you PM me those pics and I'll fix em up using a web base program? Cos i swear the only other one I can think of that you have is that one where I'm talking away on the bed and you took a pic out of the blue (just to add it to me album).

[maverik68]

I can touch up the photo slightly

 

I got photoshop.

[allieking]

love the pics guys, you two look like you had fun!!!!

[Blue Sky Turtles]

Omg! Just so classic xD Looks like you had so much fun xD

[woodyloveslinkin]

Good news people, I've got myself another pair of sunnies xD It took me about a month to mourn my other pair of sunnies that I loved. Has Wayne found the other pair yet Rav?
