Just like the movie 'Sixteen Candles' teenage me is totes the Molly Ringwald character in this episode of the podcast. The differences are I'm turning 20, I also don't have a crush on the high school senior, although maybe Bradley can take on that role, and instead of my parents forgetting my birthday and my grandparents visiting with a foreign exchange student compiled from hideous Hollywood movie racial stereotypes, I've got my Mum Anne and my little brother Tom visiting me in Karratha. Not only have they NOT forgotten my birthday, but they've actually travelling all the way to Karratha on a freaking BUS to help me celebrate it. As we heard in our previous episode, the Wasley family like dropping tummy shame on the regular (should acknowledge that tummy shame is just a pleasant way of saying farts, thanks to The Mighty Boosh, their Crack Fox, and my partner Geordie for introducing that magnificent show and wording to me hehe) thankfully none of that appears in this episode, except in this description. Coming up in this episode, my visiting family and I get numb bums travelling across the dirt roads of the Pilbara for a day trip to Harding Dam. Our road trip driver is a little loose behind the wheel, displaying erratic and gungho road skills that will leave me fearing for my completely self absorbed life. Speaking of being self absorbed, I'll do my self described best on air shift ever and then swiftly follow it up with an utter shit one just to bring myself back down to earth. There’s also my birthday to celebrate, which also includes a surprise b’day dinner at Jan's, although I'll ruin that by arriving before anyone else. I also have to come to terms with sending my little bro and mumma on that unbearable return bus trip to home to Adelaide, poor them, but huzzah for me, although there will be no me sitting on the bonnet of the high school senior's car sharing a kiss like Molly Ringwald did at the end of Sixteen Candles, I was probably too busy obsessing over myself to be bothered with anything like that anyway.
