Stewart and I went with Ripley and Rachel to the Aquarium! It was a lot of fun, a lovely day and an adventure. Ripley was pretty cool for the whole trip, she was SO curious about the outside world, she didn't want to close her eyes or sleep for anything! She looked in wonder at the city, the trams and people passing her. Wow what a big world! Then she saw the fish and could not stop staring.



We saw flounder fish, tiger sharks, seahorses, turtles etc! Even Jellyfish!



It was lovely. In the city afterwards Ripley was smiling laughing and having lots of fun. We sat near a black bass player busker and ate some chips. Ripley finally flipped out on the Tram ride home. She was REALLY tired. Stewart and I had to get off and leave Rachel alone with her. I heard it was mildly traumatizing.



Stew and I had Bimbo's and Marina came along.

Marina is a girl i fell head over heels for at my birthday party. She's not really a girl. She's a woman.. and by being so into her I had actually created a monster out of her in my imagination.. by thinking about it too much. So when I saw her I was awkward, I'd put too much pressure on myself, and as the night went on I crumbled. It wasn't so bad. We went to the city to see a gig but missed it. But I didn't know what to say at times and just made dumb comments.

I'm probably being over critical.. The good thing is that I can now look at the situation objectively and see that I was way too much into her.. but with good reason, she had come at such an opportune time and there was so much magic around the situation.. but I guess you can't always trust the signs. Also she's leaving the country soon. Ouch. This is the fourth girl I fall for who has to leave the country soon. Yet I fall for them before knowing that. What the hell is going on?!
