My own private Brisbane
Monday 25th Sept- Woke up at some ungodly hour to finish last minute packing as I was too lazy ass to do it sunday night. Walked awkardly to the bus stop with our bags bumping away at us. Slept for what felt like a million years on the bus due to Dover-induced exhaustion. Played cards and generally just freaked out whilst waiting for plane to board. Had mild panic attacks on plane and visions of DYING! Got airtrain to wherever it was to go to my aunty's. Got a little lost, then walked a block in boots with our luggage. Amusing to say the least.
Tuesday 26th Sept- Went to Southbank and visited the pole of death that crushed Jess. Not quite sure if it was the right pole. Eh, oh well. Went to the museum which was nice and "full of dead creatures and SAND!" (jess) Got lost coming home, took too many trains and maybe didn't pay for one. Oops, we are foreign it wasn't our fault.
Wednesday 27th Sept- Today we went shopping at garden city. It was very interesting, we spent maybe three ungodly long hours in jayjays.... almost got the wrong bus home due to my aunty's shitty direction giving. Very thankful for the wonderful 555 great circle line for getting us home safely.
Thursday 28th Sept- Today was a recovery and general munging around day. Slept, ate, read and watched Species (hehehe so much sexual innuendo!). I successfully established my daily nap routine for the holidays. My newly aquired grandpa shirts are really comfy and surprisingly sexy.
Friday 29th Sept- Jess went to her strange cousin's house for the night and went and saw whales or something. I stayed at home with Steph and did't miss my daily nap.
Saturday 30th Sept- WOOT! Beach! I went bright red in about ten minutes thanks to some strong Irishness on my dad's side, didn't burn though thanks to oversized shirt I hastily put on. Tried swimming with waves like surfboarders do. Only we weren't on surfboards.
Went a little further up the coast and read on the beach. It was nice. We saw these huge jellyfish washed up on the shore and freaked out and tried to rescue everyone on the beach from them. Turned out they didn't even sting. They were turtle food.
Sunday 1st Oct- Went to Dreamworld, sang Sandi Thom insanely loud while parking the car. Jess fell in love with some hot goth guy and practically drooled all over the place all day. Got soaked on that silly little log ride. Heaps of fun though. Went to pick Dover up in the evening, got lost coming back from his dorm.....he's shit at giving directions.
Monday 2nd Oct- Another recovery day. Slept in the park for ages!!! Bitched at Dover, got a text that I didn't really want. Resigned myself to the fact that it was all over. Adam rang in the middle of the night drunk...silly boy.
Tuesday 3rd Oct- Visited jess' nana and slept in the park some more. Got cold and walked home.
Wednesday 4th Oct- Visited great grandma in redcliff, went to op shops looking for cool bargains. Went to all the factory outlets but didn't buy a thing, what is wrong with us?
Thursday 5th Oct- woke up at six, got ready and got the train to the city, said goodbye to aunty daff, cried on public transport, waited at the airport for ages. Slept on plane which was unusual but good as I didn't freak out at least. Luke picked us up and we munged around with him before dropping jess off to go back to Cairns. Luke and I went to his place to watch little britain reruns. Dane picked me up from subway, was mildly depressed all the way home.
And that was Brisbane. It was fun, a little slow, but fun. Had totally resigned myself to the fact that nothing was ever going to happen between Dover and I, then he started talking to me again. Doesn't want a long distance relationship but is happy to have one only when he gets back in town. Grrr.
