when darkness has turned to gray

Ever noticed how when youre in a conversation with someone, theyre not *really*listening to what youre saying and neither are you *really* listening to them. I tested this out the other day when I was in one of my ironic moods and I talked to one person after another and in the midst of a chat, I just inserted a completely absurd offhand comment and it just simply didnt register to them and they went,"oh, blahblah blah" or if it DID register, they continued with an absurd story of their own,leading off with "really? well you wont BELIEVE what happened to ME when..."My island excursion was beautiful. It was eleven of us who went, we went via bus, train and boat and it was soo much fun, getting there itself. We rented out a villa for a night, would have been longer, but everyone had work the next day so that didnt happen. I went on the beach for the first time since I got here. We all swam in the freezing ocean. And I made a hole. Lol. And we sunbaked. Im tan all over again. I love the sun.We smoked shisha by the beach. We went cycling. I went aqua biking. We played funny drinking games. We had another mock proposal and a wedding. Haha. We met new people and picked flowers. We got glow in the dark sticks and played on the beach. We took random photos. We all bonded just a little bit more.
We didnt do anything mind altering. Not really. But for 48 hours, we were away from Curtin University and Perth, and we werent just young adults working towards our degree, we were young care free friends, and it felt like one of those american getaway from it all movies and it was good.
As for my work, my boss is picking me up in an hour to go over the new terms of my work. That should be interesting, I think. *nervous*
