Your hair is really hairy!!
^ Mary, on Johanna's hair at about 12AM
Weekend was Johanna's birthday party, both parts. :D The first part was mainly a tramp up and down Mt. Kaukau. The way up included various singalongs to Jess' iPod, Jen's Zen, and my Palm Pilot (Mary and Sophie made a good moving sound system when set up with my speakers), scenic photo ops, exploration of a sheep run (and practically getting stuck in it and having to climb over the fence), attempts to make Chris feel uncomfortable (which didn't work but it was an amusing discussion anyway), one attempt to leave me behind1, Mary having to find the most difficult route over everything2, a civil union proposal3, and the consumption of many lollies. On top of the hill, there was the consumption of lots of food, a one-egg foodfight (while I started it I got out and was uninvolved), the consumption of fizzy Sprite (which also lead to a discussion on meningococcal), the gratuitous Titanic impression, mad cartwheels and skipping, group moss, and taking photos of randoms. The way down included me being right at least twice4, discussions on the undead, hugging trees on my part, and A BENCH!! because we all know how much I love benches on tramps. Then we played on the playground for a while cos we are childish, and we went to the pool and went on the inflatable and hijacked each other's floaties (Johanna named me and Chris' floaty the Loveboat5) and it was fun. After most people had gone and it was just us Marauders and Sophie, some random Sophie knew from Raroa, Matt, came along and Sophie's like "I think I know that guy...Matt??" and Mary and Johanna sniggered over Mat and we ended up feeding him and making conversation on school and NCEA. I also managed to kind of alarm him :/
Matt: "Yeah, did you know...I'm a lifeguard."
Caryl: "Hot."
Matt: o_o
Sophie: "She has a boyfriend."
Caryl [flustered]: "Sorry, I say that to everything!"
(heavily paraphrased)
1
Caryl: [collapses on a flat bit of the hill] "REST STOP!!"
Pretty Much Everyone: "No."
Caryl: [facedown on the grass]
PME: "We'll leave you behind and come back for you tomorrow."
Caryl: =|
PME: "Oh yeah, you won't survive without food and stuff."
Caryl: "You know what, WE WILL SURVIVE! We've got food in our bags!"
Chris: "Yeah, what, brownies and popcorn..."
PME: "And you'll need something to sleep in..."
Caryl: "We WILL be able to sleep out here, I BROUGHT MY EMERGENCY BLANKET! And besides, ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE!"
Chris: "And Wicked!"

A hill approaches.
Mary: [starts going up it]
Caryl: "WHERE'S THE TRACK? I'm lost."
PME: [follows Mary]
Caryl: [starts to follow Mary, starts complaining, goes back down hill and starts going around it]
Louisa: [follows Caryl]
PME: [on top of the hill] "Where'd Caryl go?"
Caryl: [pushing through the BUSHES OF DOOM on the side of the hill with Louisa] "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
3
Rest stop.
Caryl: "OOH hang on." [gets out silver box]
Johanna: "Ooh, it's a pretty box too!"
Caryl: [gets down on one knee] "Johanna..." [attempts to open box] "DAMNIT I NEED NAILS!"
After ripping the bottom of the box off, the box is opened.
Caryl: [ahem] "Johanna, will you civil union with me?"
Johanna: "Oh! Yes."
PME: "What?"
4
PME: "I wonder where we're supposed to go?"
Caryl [who had actually done this route before]: "THAT WAY!"
PME: "Let's go look at that sign."
Caryl: "THAT WAY!"
PME: "Where are we going, anyway?"
Caryl: "THAT WAY!"
PME: "I think it's that way."
Caryl: "THAT WAY GODDAMNIT!" [starts walking That Way]
PME: [follows at long last] "...hey, I think we go up that path."
Caryl: "THAT WAY."

Louisa gatecrashes the Loveboat.
Louisa: "If I'm here, does that make it a love triangle? Hmm."
At Johanna's house, pre-walk, taken by Johanna's mum.
Left to right: Me, Chris, Jess, Louisa, Carina, Johanna, Sophie, Mary.
Johanna and I doing the good old Titanic impression on the observation deck on top of Mt. Kaukau. :P Taken by Mary.
Chris vaulting over the post. He did that a lot.
Johanna mossing on Sophie. I found this highly amusing seeing as it is usually Sophie doing the mossing.
Sophie: [mosses on Johanna]
Johanna: [mosses on Mary]
Chris: [mosses on Sophie]
Caryl: [tries to moss on Chris] "YOU'RE TOO TALL!"
What was left of the food, and me being lazy and refusing to help clean up. Hm, left to right: Johanna, me, Chris.
Me hugging a tree, though everyone else was calling it harrassment and in that photo it looks more like I was molesting the tree. Taken by Mary.
Rest stop on the way down. Left to right: Chris, me, Carina, Sophie, is that Jess' head? Taken by Mary.
Prongsy looking sweet, same rest stop. Taken by Mary.
Chris on the flying fox at the playground, which we kind of stole off some little kids. All the flying fox photos were taken by Mary, that camerawhore.
Johanna on the flying fox.
Carina on the flying fox. I'm quite amused with how brightly she came out...
Me and Chris on the flying fox. Everyone said we were going to break it and Sophie was threatening dire things if we broke it before she got a second turn on the flying fox, however this Did Not Happen.
Sophie on the slide. I can't stop awwwwwing over this photo!
Me and Chris just outside the changing rooms, waiting for everyone else to get changed ("It's taking a long time just to get tops on..."). This was Sophie's 'I don't know how to use this camera' photo.
Oh, I've been using this as my MSN display pic, which led to Nicola going "WTF CHRIS WITH NO TOP ON" and "now THAT'S something you don't see every day", HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Johanna and Chris by the inflatable about before they went on again (I only went on until I'd gotten through it and must confess to muttering to myself in the vein of "come on, you're a Slytherin, subtlety here" while doing so). Taken by Sophie as are all the pool photos as she didn't swim for reasons that were Not Mentioned.
Chris on the inflatable. I'm not sure, but I think he might have fallen off right after this photo. :P
Johanna on the inflatable. Now THIS one looks like she fell in right after :P
Carina on the inflatable. I must admit, that part was the bit I had the most trouble with.
Sophie, me, and Mary in the car on the way back (go not getting changed and wandering around in one's togs). Taken by Johanna. I am SO in love with the lighting.
Part Deux (okay, the French names are entirely mine, Johanna called this the Marauder Do) was us Marauders sitting around doing not much and watching Orlando Bloom movies (Pirates of the Caribbean, Kingdom of Heaven). We played the Game of Life, in which Johanna and I got civil unioned on the Get Married stop (which looked very odd on the board because it meant one or the other of our cars had no people in), I divorced her, Molly Rose threw a tantrum, I went and married Chris (who wasn't actually present at the time. you don't mind I married you, do you?), had three kids (Sabriel May, Aderyn Rose, and James Remus), and BECAME A MILLIONAIRE AND KICKED EVERYONE'S ARSES. Hello, relationship drama is good for money! I lvoe the Game of Life. Pirates of the Caribbean, on the other hand, I did not love as much, it had boring bits which I had to call, and pretty much the only good thing about that movie was Keira Knightley cos honestly that girl is hott. Kingdom of Heaven was crappy, I spent most of the movie going "so what's happening NOW?" and we honestly NEVER LEARNED Orlando Bloom's character's name (oh! Balian of Ibelin, according to Wiki) so we just called him Soggy, derived from SoG, Son of Godfrey. Bad movie. *pours a glass of juice on it*
There was also much insanity (read: stupidity) to be had during the sleepover, including but by no means limited to Mary's "Your hair is really hairy!!" line. This is probably due to the sugar consumed at near enough midnight, or when it comes to me, my lack of sugar consumed...
Caryl: "Why am I the sanest one here?!"
There was also this astute observation.
Johanna [on Mary's head]: "There's a BRAIN in there!!"
Caryl: "Whereas in Johanna's head, there's nothing at all..."
Yeah. That was weird.
You know what else was weird? My dream this morning. I was on a bus with a rather tired, quiet Prongs headed Southside (on the right side of the road) - SITTING NEXT TO (a quite miserable-looking) WILLIAM MOSELEY. We approach a bus stop, and Skandar Keynes and some other guy? (I knew who he was in the dream) are sitting there waiting. Stalker that I am, I whisper to Johanna, "(random guy) and Skandar!!"
They see Will's on our bus and stand up, so the bus pulls over. Seeing this, I stand up so they can sit next to Will, and Will looks a lot happier when Skandar and the random are sitting by him, and I'm just standing there smiling down at them, it's awkward silence until Skandar looks at me, really looks at me, and goes, "It's Bikini Girl!"
(Which, as dreams do, makes absolute no sense whatsover in reality, but was perfectly logical in the dream. I think in the dream Hans and I had run into them before and I suppose they forgot our names and possibly this prior meeting had something to do with bikinis.)
"I have a NICKNAME??" I gasp, delighted, sending William, Skandar, and That Guy into hysterics (and waking Johanna up into a mild state of WTF) even as I follow up with an equally delighted, "I'm notorious!"
(Great, notorious for something to do with bikinis.)
"Oh," says the bus driver to the general population, "I'd like you to meet my good friends William Moseley, Skandar Keynes, (random guy), (something that wasn't my name or Bikini Girl but he meant me and the Narnia boys and I laughed harder), and, ah," he turns to Johanna, "sorry, what's your name again?"
"Prongs?" she suggests, slightly bewildered.
"Ah, of course, Emily Rabbit, how could I forget?" exclaims the driver (wtf). He gestures to the boys to move over so I can have a seat (it was a pretty wide bus seat and what was it doing RIGHT BY the driver and the door?), they do so, I'm sitting between Johanna and William, and all is happy and joyous and then I wake up and it's 7:20AM on Waitangi Day, WTF.
Yes. Happy Waitangi Day!
