friend, art, spuds, books, sex shop and chocolate!

The year is 1998. It's June. The height of grade 5- that's right, the plans of how we'd be cruel in yr 6 were being thought up. But then BANG! In less than a month, i'm told i'm moving house, school, subarb...basically to a whole new world! From the famous dover st clayton nth, i moved to the quaint world of Essendon. From Amsleigh ParkP.S. to...Essendon P.S. From being with my best friend Bianca everyday at school....to be stuck with people dressed in red and black...weridos!!!

So today, after having not seen her in about 6 months we met up~ As usual, there was a mix up when we tried to find each other at Flinders St station...( let's not get into that) :) Big hugs when we finally reunited! B was in a pink mood today, all the same, like always, her look was cool her, theres no bianca but bianca!

Our first stop was to the NGA, DUTCH MASTERS~ Seriously recommend to all!! I'm not an arts student myself ( that's B's speciality) but wow...it was incredible! Come on...the clouds and trees are spectaculor! Well they were my favourite aspects of most of the paintings!! But yes, the likes of Rembrant and Vermeers are there.

After polishing off lunch ( SPUDSSS!!! ) we went to the fed square. OMG! There's a 2nd hand book sale on every saturday's...i so did not know that! After much search and thought, i bought Trainspotting for $6~ Then at Dymocks i bought a Penguin company 70th yr celebratory book- Jamie Oliver weekend recipes'. A cool well spent $3.95!

Back at Melbourne Central...yes went to the sex shop! LOL. It's not exactly a sex shop...its called..."condom kingdom...gifts with a twist". Hence, i consider it a dirty giftshop. Dirty it may be, but a gift shop it still remains!! Next we walked around and bought some chocolate and then made our way for departure at the train station. Her on the Pakenham line, and i, on the Sydenham.

So the point i'm trying to make is that today, after a hellish few weeks at school, i had a really good day. I get to see Bianca only once or twice the year. The years apart have meant we've had to make new friends and we have different things going on. All the same, when we catch up, as rare as it is, it's like nothings changed! The one thing in my life that hasn't changed, despite the changes that have seperated us!

So here's to friendships that rok!
