Okay so it's actually called a cyclone in Australia, but as if I'm not going to reference that hilarious scene in the the 1980 film Flying High (or Airplane as it was called in some countries), if you haven't seen it, you probably should, it's ridiculous and full of Dad jokes, but when I was 11 it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen. Anyway, in this episode my bestie MJ, the former 14 year old babysitter Mary from week seven of the diary, returns to help me work through another week of diarised dross. Together we'll work our way through the lead up to the arrival of what would prove to be the 4th biggest cyclone to ever hit Australian shores. You'll witness teenage me pretending to be totes heterosexual on a number of occasions. I was fully closeted and hoping that my deep desire for wanting some wang, was just a phase that I would soon grow out of, so maintaining the illusion of me being keen on lady love clearly must be maintained. I’ll also finally meet my radio roomie Mark, but his aversion to being around when I expect him to be somewhere will continues. Plus I’ll get my Helen Hunt on but there won't be any cows flying by, instead I’ll experience what it’s like to be inside a radio station for 24 hours when Cyclone Orson hits the Pilbara. I fully pretend to be cool about it but inside I'll be squealing in utter terror. So grab your headphones and press play on this episode but just make sure you prepare yourself for the most underwhelming natural disaster story ever told.
