3:45am Thursday 29th October 1998

Here I am again, early in the morning, haven't gone to bed yet and I'm writing drunken babbling in this so called diary. Valete Dinner was on tonight, and we got fairly "shelackeyed" on the cheap wine. I had a fair part of a bottle of Passion Pop, and I'm still feeling the effects. The dinner was fun, no surprises when it came to the RA or the RT's, but that not unexpected. It was quite funny though, Father Colin got many kisses and a big hug from the boys, and everybody cracked up…
Went to PJ's after that, having a chat to Em Finn which was a first, since she hadn't said "Boo" to me or any of our group all year. Booz'n and Jules quit early, but Bridget, Feather, Astro, Peter and myself went to the Wig and Pen and had a good time. We all headed home and Bridget and I were discussing breast implants. She thinks she has to get a D, but I said I'd be satisfied going up to a C. Weird conversation.
Sent Bridget an email with my URL, should be interesting to see what her reaction is going to be, I should find out at lunch tomorrow which will certainly be interesting… might even warrant another diary entry, I'll see what happens.
Sent Soba an email, but I've yet to receive a response. Today I figured out why my dppe-aldehyde reaction wasn't working, I was scaling my dppe up by a factor of 2 without adding additional aldehyde!!!
I said to Szusza that I would go to the Sydney Glitter Ball. It's on Saturday the 14th of November. Hopefully nothing else will come up that weekend. Lloyd's and Paul's 21st birthday celebrations are this weekend, I'll have to remember to shift the girlie (boa, make-up bag, etc) stuff off the bottles of champagne which have been sitting under my fridge for the last 2 weeks.
I'm very tempted to go to Jerry Shaw's while I'm up in Sydney in search of a good formal dress. I just know that it's going to cost me an arm and a leg, but I'd really like to get a good formal dress. Of course I'm going to have to get my wig cleaned and styled before the Ball and do all those other little annoying niggly things which have to be done. I'm not sure who or what is going to be going, I mean is it going to be a big queen's event with mostly over the top glam, or quite convincing, attracting the more genuine crowd? I think I know the sort of dress I'd like to get, but God knows whether Jerry Shaw has it in size 14-16…
Anyway, I'm definitely going to go the starvation diet for that, can't turn up to the critical Sydney crowd looking like some fat, bloated Canberra tart. A few days should do it. God I'd love to get down to 75kg, that would make my month. Pity I'm such a weak Pisces's, I just don't have any will-power… sigh
