life seems alot busier than it was last year, not much free time anymore :(, but thats not all bad, its good to be doing something all the time :).

 

Went to see a band called "faker" last night, they were really good. the three bands before them were ok. Lots of uni students as it was at the uni bar. Anyway the story begin after the concert.

I went up with my mate Benje and walked back to the car after the show, turned the ignition and nothing happened, bummer!, was the it the battery? was it the starter motor? was it an ignition lead or could it be the distributor. All of these things were were running through my mind. Convinietly enough i'd left the jumper leads at home because my dad car has a flat battery.

Firt option was to clutch start, that is to roll it down a hill wth the ignition on and then let it out of gear., NO LUCK!. we popped the bonnet and there was a noise comming from the positve battery terminal, strange! two guys from the show were walking back and noticed our trouble, they had had a bit to drink, but were very friendly and obligied to help us for the rest of the night, they suggested hitting the starter motor to get it going, they'd done it before, that didn't work. Benje had left his phone at my bros house, i had no credit and neither did they. across the road were supposbly where some of their mates live, so we went over looking for a Steve or Penny. the guys that were helping us were "steve and Camo", lol. We asked many randoms walking along if they knew where they lived, no one did. We knocked on doors, knocked on windows where the light were on inside, no one knew, probably because they were mostly American students that had just moved in.

We got to a place where some Uni guy that works for the uni opened the door andhe told us to stopknocking on peoples doors, fair enough it was 12 at night, but Camo and Steve wouldn't take no for an answer, everntually that uni guy caught up with us and called security because Steve had a go at him, he was quite rude actually. anyway we went back to my car wheere we waited for Camo's girlfriend to pick him up, we got a lift with him to my bros place, Steve walked off because she accidently ran over his foot.

At my bros place i woke Matt up and told him the situation, he had jumper lead, so we drove back to my car. After turning the ignition to find that the car still was doing anything with jumper leads, i was thinking something bad had happened. we drove back and Matt said that i'd have to get up early or i get a couple of tickets. eventually at 1:30 i called the NRMA and drove back to my car, He had a look and took the positive off the battery and cleaned it, put it back on and WHALA! it started, yay. The NRMA guy was cool, talked to him for a while bout mechanics, quite interesting, anyway that was my night and early morning. yeah
