So, last night was my roommate from China’s 21st birthday. For those who don’t know (er…everyone?), she lives out in what I like to call ‘the sticks’.

I live in Camberwell ten minutes away from city centre, a civilised suburb commonly known as ‘Yuppie Central’. Conversely, my roommate lives in Panton Hill, which is about two hours away from city centre, where there are kangaroo warning signs on the road. It is the type of place that actually plays up to the stereotype of all Australians having kangaroos in their backyard. We’re talking country.

In any case, the 21st was held at her place…in Panton Hill. A male friend and I were navigating the treacherous path to this desolate location, (i.e. him driving the Alfa, me scanning the road map), when he made a sudden turn.

In the end, we had to get directions from a local farmhouse (a farmhouse! MY GOD!), and then call my roommate when we got lost…again. We ended up at the party 2 hours later than we expected to be there. And the moral of that story is, always listen to a woman, she’s always right.

Oh, and when we actually got there, I spent awhile talking to my roomie’s mother next to the bonfire (they live far enough out that they can actually have a bonfire! WTF?!)…at which point she asks “Are you two a couple?” (gesturing to said male friend and I).

“Noooo. Noo. NO! NO. Noooooo…”. Basically, imagine all the multitude of ways that you can say no. I managed to cover them all. Then promptly spent the rest of the night trying to reassure him that it wasn’t him, it was just the fact that dating him would be like dating a family member….at which point he said that we were in the country, where sex is ace, but incest is best. *shudders*
