I've seen it.

I LOVE it.

In fact, I've seen it three times this weekend and that's not even counting the sing-along version!

I'm talkin' High School Musical 2, peeps!

I watched it for the first time yesterday with my 9 year old niece Joanne, and her pal Summer. This was cool 'til I caught Summer watchin' me out of the corner of my eye.

I looked at her and asked, "What's up?"

She gave a li'l confused frown and said "I've never actually seen an adult who likes kids things before are you an adult child?"
"Well Summer," I explained, "I guess I am."
She seemed okay about it and for the rest of my visit made me sing 'Fabulous' a lot. As an 'adult child' I was given a VIP pass to the world of tween.
Most importantly, I was included in very important discussions. Like, what we would do if Zac Effron knocked on our front door, right now. Summer would declare undying love, Joanne would ask him if he wanted a cup of tea and Summer informed me that, because I was in my 20s, I would be able to actually marry him. I was really rather pleased with that.

Zac 4 Lisa. IDST.

Whilst watching HSM2 with my target audience was very insightful and all, there really is nothing better than watching it in the comfort of my own home without being laughed at for my lack of singing ability.

It's mucho fun, and just as good as the first, which I thought would be pretty much not do-able. The Man watched it with me at lunch and we are now pretending our life is in fact, HSM2. We've been singing instead of talking all afternoon and whoever gives in has to do the washing up - our neighbours must think we're right outta freaksville, but I won't give in, for one I HATE washing up and two, I love my life being like HSM2!


And if you don't think I'm crazy enough already, I have taken up knitting.

It's something I do every autumn. When the dark nights come in, I have a huge-ass urge to be a craft girl, so I visit my mumma - queen of all things craft, she starts me off with a reminder lesson because I forget how, and then I knit.

Scarves generally.

This time though, I have a project.

This is the big time.

Scarves, schmarves - bring on the knitted bear!

Yep, my gal pal Manda is havin' a bubba, so I'm making the new bubba a bear - it involves stocking stitch and everything.

I'm officially a hardcore knit girl - I'm averaging 4 rows an hour at the moment.

Like I say, hardcore.

In other news: Friday, Peace day, was all kinds of fabulous-o.



This is me eating yummy cake at the Peace Cafe.
Dee-lish.
I'm in a playpen. I don't think that's the official terminology, but you take your shoes off and climb in. Brilliant.



It had edible glitter.

Seriously, what's not to love 'bout edible glitter?

Exactly.



Tea and cake. Two of my most favourite things.




Met this cutester at the cafe, just as deelish as the cake and v.v.funny. This is Ben and he should totally be on Hollyoaks.

Fact.



Met with Swanks for a belated b-day dinner a little later on in the day - I'm sucha shocker, his birthday was a whole month ago, but we went for posh Indian and I'm hoping that made up for it.

See? He really is Swanks, he wears suits and everything, even to socialise. Less Swank boys should take note, this dude is all about the style, at all times. He's also lots of fun to hang with. We laughed. A lot.



Then after dinner, I met with these two bee-you-tiful boys. These are 2 of my bestest buds from college, Ad and Rich, and it was Rich's b-day celebrations (he's the one on the left - isn't he adoreable?) They were going on to a club to throw some shapes on the dance floor. I was a lightweight and was missin' The Man, so I headed home before shape throwin'!

Just realised this blog entry could be renamed 'a gratuitous excuse to post pics of hot boys I hung out with on Friday night!'

Today however, I've been all about the knitting and HSM2 re-runs.

The rest of the week, and this is for the benefit of ed-girl just in case she's reading, is all about Lola and The Pink Ladies I promise!
