Week Update 7
Thank God for these weekly updates! If you were to ask me what we've done the past 2 months, it has been the blur that was. I think it's safe to say that we've become victims of Whistler's party scene and with that comes the loss of short term memory, I would hate to think of the brain cells that have been lost in this battle. The partying here is just as renowned as the mountains! If you've seen any of our photo uploads the past couple of months, you would know that we've clearly jumped on this band wagon, to the point where Julia contemplated handing in her resume to be a host for Whistler's pub crawl, we're no stranger to Whistler's array of clubs.
We went out for our friend Melissa's 30th birthday which conveniently landed on 80's night, this ended with me hugging the toilet bowl after the last time we were there- although we did manage to steer clear of the glow paint booth this time, we've definitely gone up in the world. The night started with "pornstar" shots and much like the name, we were a glutton for punishment. With our pornstar shots, chased down by many vodka mixes and to add the bar special, jaggermeisser- this was a recipe for disaster and could only end with an embarrassing display of spew in a public carpark! We've all been there and it turns out we're still there. As Melissa turned the dirty thirty, she took it upon herself to impart some words of wisdom and told us to make the most of our time here, besides (quote) "We're in Whistler Bitch!" in slurring tones. Nevertheless we seem to subscribe to the same school of thought.
Following the "shot gun" methodology, that we've been following since we were 13 years old, we walked into Tommy Africa's, where Julia had shot gunned this guy who we'd nicknamed 'Where's Wally', as the last time we saw him out he was wearing a red and white stripped beanie, so naturally a 'Where's Wally' reference was appropriate. After much debate as to who he was more interested in, and Emilie swearing that Julia and Where's Wally shared a moment together- to quote Emilie, "They're so hooking up tonight!" we learned that he was in fact gay- it was probably the guy behind us that he was sharing a moment with. I don't know where our Gayda's were? Has living in Melbourne taught me nothing?! Well...discussing conversational ploys to draw him in was 15 mins of our lives that we will never get back. There was no point crying in our beers about it, and so the rules of the art of seduction continue, it just wont be with Where's Wally!
In our frequent bouts of insightful thinking, we had one of those "aha moments" where we thought we could start a DIY service for waxing. And when I say we, I mean Julia as I'm clearly both hopeless and a little on the sadistic side to be waxing other people. Julia waxed both mine and Emlie's eyebrows for the first time, which I am happy to report that we still have both our eyebrows intact! Although, I did ensure Emilie was the guinea pig, as missing half an eyebrow would definitely be stretching the friendship. Aside from almost being blinded by the oil that she accidentally dropped in my eye, she did a really great job.
We get asked the constant question of how we go living together?! Well....Julia and I just love sharing EVERYTHING, from hair straightener to shampoo from a bed to clothes, from a laptop to camera, the only thing we don't share is underwear- and there is no hiding who's is who's there! Needless to say that at times, we can be two scorpions in one hole but we wouldn't have it any other way.
The sports enthusiasts that we clearly are, we've decided to stay in Whistler for the summer, as from what we hear, it is amazing. It's one thing to learn how to snowboard but I can't really say that the idea of hiking and mountain bike riding are alluring.
We've made the decision to carve a week or two out of our party schedules to travel to Mexico in May with our friend Emilie and have just found out that Miss Lisa is coming too- so bring on the henna tattoo's and hair braiding- a treat for not only the eyes but the ears!
