I was working away when I heard a drawer close. Wondering how a drawer closed without me closing it, I went to investigate. Kneeling on the ground in front of the filing cabinet, "doing up his shoelaces", was a young sweaty man with a backpack on. It is unfortunate, and I almost feel racist to mention it, but he was of Aboriginal descent.

Darryn: What are you doing in my office?

Burgular: Tying my shoelaces up, what does it look like?

Darryn: It looks like you are a thief

Burgular: I’m not a bloody* thief, the door was unlocked

Darryn (Bluffing): I am going to call security

Burgular: What for? I am just here to tie up my shoes

Darryn: Open your backpack and show me what is inside

Burgular: *bleep* you’re a *bleeping bleep*

The Burgular opened his backpack and satisfied Darryn that there was nothing of ours in there, and the sweat pattern on his back showed that he came in with it.

Darryn: Leave the office now

Darryn escorts Burgular to the office Lobby, where Burgular pauses.

Burgular: You’re a dog. You’re lucky I don’t smack you one. Calling me a thief!

Darryn: Out

Exit Burgular

For the next 5 minutes my heart was pounding a bit, and I was glad that I am Big, and was able to appear threatening enough to make the Burgular leave without incident.

I think we should get one of those devices that makes a chime when the door is opened. The door is locked now.

7/3

• Walking Rek got busted by sniffer dogs for possession of 3.8g of weed
• Played croquet with Rek and J-Dogg - Rek won, J-Dogg lost
• Played ping pong against J-Dogg, I won 21-18. This is an achievement as he works in a prison and therefore, I assume, plays it all the time.
• So happy, I felt like I was on drugs (whilst sober). Must be Holiday Mode. Resolved to abandon current life and live in a tent forever.
• The only other person that Rek knew was coming, unknowingly pitched their tent next to ours.
• Got some chili and cinnamon chocolate coated coffee beans, which Rek dubbed Guatemalan Jumping Beans. They were tops.
• At night there was a huge storm and it bucketed down for a few hours. When we returned to our tents we learned that our prime spot was, in fact, on low-lying land. The ground was squishy and there were 2-3 inches of water standing, above the top of the grass. My tent stayed dry (thank God) and it was kinda floating on the water. I slept on a comfortable waterbed.
• A girl collapsed due to drink/drugs/? and was helped out by the omnipresent cops. 10 minutes later she was back on the dancefloor with her hands down the front of J-Dogg’s pants. Slores.
• Dexter was the highlight of the night, especially the latin stuff. The Drum N Bass stuff was difficult for me, I kept losing the beat (trying to follow too many beats)
• There was an Iced-Up Bogan (IUB) taunting two uniformed police officers who were near me, he was standing right in front of them and making challenging faces.
• Cops were everywhere, all day and night.
• All drink cans were $0.50 deposit. J-Dogg proceeded to fill a garbage bag with Hobo Cans. He bonded with a girl who had her own bag and was competing for the pickings.

8/3

• Woke up to a still-flooded area. We are the only waterlogged area on a field that is as big as 4 footy fields.
• We unpegged our tents and carried them, still assembled, to a new location. This one is tops because it is dry and there are bikini girls.
• I went for a swim in the pool as a substitute for a morning shower. Very refreshing.

• She didn’t go home
• She has signed a 2-year lease on a studio
• She has an agent

Anyway, this is why I haven’t blogged for ages, because I spend every available second with her. I love her.
