connex can go eat monkey butt

FIRST OF ALL EVERYBODY, I'M GETTING MY BRACES OFF ON WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR REAL THIS TIME =__= AND GETTING THE PLATE/RETAINER WHATEVER THINGY ON THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOHOOO

YAY for Panda for getting hers off today :D and Susan tomorrow...I wanted so badly to get mine off before Susan but we decided that I got my bottom ones off half a year ago so we're even :)

Planned to meet Susan and go to the beach today but CONNEX SUCKS ASS

So I was in Box Hill (I've figured that I've been all over the fricken place today so...nobody can work out where I live and hunt me down :D) and Susan was in Glenny. It would take her longer to get to Richmond, so I thought I'd grab sushi and get on the train

Her train was cancelled, the next one was in 20 minutes

I was already at Flinders by the time she got ON the train =__=

So for 40 minutes I shopped around, checked out Lt Collins St which has this great jewellery place :) Liz got me a bracelet there for xmas and I'm in love with the dang store

Susans train was arriving at 1:42, so I decided to get the 1:20 to meet her

MY train was cancelled this time =__= (or maybe I missed it...I dunno, SHH)

both ended up at Richmond and missed the Sandringham by 2 MINUTES!! Eventually got to Brighton Beach station at 2:19 (I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I REMEMBER ALL THESE RIDICULOUS TRAIN TIMES) and hung out til about 4:30, talked about life and such :) EPIC SMILING FOR NO BRACES!!

^ I also managed to break my dress strap on the train =__= I've broken 3 items of clothing within the space of a week - straps are DANGEROUS

On the way home, Susan wanted to take me to Igloo Zoo for frozen yoghurt, so we had to train from Brighton to South Yarra and change trains to some other line that gets to Malvern. The next 3 trains from South Yarra were ALL express and skipped Malvern :( but eventually we got a train that wasn't express SO I WAS DESTINED TO EAT FROZEN YOGHURT (I ate it all before I remembered to take a photo - it was a damn sexy bucket of yoghurt with strawberries, chocolate and cookie)

So after that I had to get home on time for my cousin's birthday...we figured the tram would come at 6, we'd get to Glenferrie in 10 minutes and the train was at 6:22

Perfect?

ALDJKHLAKSDHLAKJSDHL STUPID TRAM

SOMEHOW THE TRAM WAS CANCELLED AND WE HAD TO TAKE THE 6:12 ONE, WHICH GOT TO THE STATION A MINUTE TOO LATE, WHICH MEANT WE HAD TO WAIT 20 MINUTES FOR THE NEXT TRAIN WHICH MEANT I GOT HOME AN HOUR LATE

I WAS DESTINED FOR YOGHURT BUT NOT DESTINED TO COME HOME

...if I had been at Flinders, I woulda gotten a free water and icypole :(

ps - I know this blog is completely confusing to understand whether you're a Melbourner or not...sorry :P
