On tuesday Braden had his operation to remove muscle from between his broken collarbone and pin it back together. I was going to go see him that night in hospital but I didn't get his text until late so I said I'd come wednesday night (last night) because I'd planned to go shopping in Wellington during the day. On the train ride down I took these (first's edited, clearly); 
I shopped alone until about 2pm then met up with Ash and her friends Sarah and Claire. In the morning I bought two shirts, a 2007 diary and wrapping paper to cover it, mascara... etc. With the girls I got sticker photos; 
After that I went and got my left tragus pierced which I've wanted since intermediate; 
I was planning to catch the 6.18, go to Braden's then Jem's party for Sian... but I missed the fucking train despite getting a bus and then running through the train station. So I text Ash and asked if I could stay which was fine. Although, their apartment is being renovated so they were staying in a different suite which contained pretty much nothing. Their view's slightly different though (Mt. Vic.);  Emma was coming over so they could go clubbing since it was student night, so they told me to come with Ash's I.D. I would have been happy to sit home and draw really, but it's not like I get any chances to go to town really, so I thought I might as well see if it'd work. It did! It was fun initially, dancing was great. We went to The Establishment, Shooters and Big Kumara. Then it kind of sucked for me... I don't know. I just don't like being there when everyone your with is intent on getting with someone. One of the girls who has a boyfriend danced and kissed and who-knows a guy I know from here and he has a girlfriend too which they were both aware of. I hate that. I hate that when I told a guy I have a boyfriend he said "I have a girlfriend too, who cares they're not here". That made me angry. And sad. I hope he was lying (about a girlfriend); he was all over two different girls that I saw throughout the night. Does anyone disagree that making out in bars is cheating? Thoughts? So I sat down for most of the time after that except when great songs came on. Which is fine; I mean I went with a single girl and I told her to go after the guy she liked! But yes, for future reference I guess it's not much fun unless you're with people in the same situation as yourself. Or Braden. Because that would have been the super-duper-est fun. Anyway, pictures from yesterday evening;

Ash, Emma and I. 
Me, Emma and Ash. 
Me and Ash. Today I finally got home and went straight to Braden's house. His stapled up cut from the operation is crazy to look at it looks stuck-on it's so bizarre. He thinks it's awesome of course hehe. Eighteen staples! It was so so SO good to cuddle him. (I apologise for petering out a little on my blog. I'm so sleepy now.) The end. | 
Which is sad purely because I liked it. And I wouldn't like it in my right ear. And I'm too wussy to get it re-pierced for a really long time. So, blow. I'm pretty much over piercings anyway. They're so very temporary. You know where I'm heading right? Yes. The long-awaited tattoo. Which will remain a secret until the very day it's construction begins. My birthday I'll say. My birthday. Christmas is too soon. I need to psyche up for this one.
