rye x2

Going to Rye this time round was 10x more fun than with Annette&fam :D Even though we spent a shorter time there, it felt long enough because my body is completely worn out from head to toe thanks to the dads and their extreme love for exercise x___x

We left before lunch on Thursday after a bit of trouble with getting the bikes to stay on the rack...so if there was anyone driving along Eastlink who saw a bike that was hanging vertically on a horizontal bike rack THAT WAS US HAHA!! The bikes came into use straightaway, we went for a ride along the Point Nepean trail up to the old army base. The uphills KILLED my legs but luckily (or unluckily) Susan's bike broke, so we took a break at the Harold Holt memorial lookout. I got off the bike and my legs were 200% jelly, it was horrible...and once the bike was fixed WOOHOO MORE HILLS =____= All it meant was that coming back would all be downhill, which was AWESOME except for the fact that I was going waaay too fast...and when you go downhill, all the pressure is on the handlebars, so I (being a genius and all) let go of one hand coz my face was itchy...and completey stacked it x___x I didn't make anything bleed though, just tripped on my handlebars and bruised my knees

Spent the rest of the night playing Cluedo (which my dad is now OBSESSED with), watching dvd's and Heroes :D Also went for a walk at sunset...

(click last one for a bigger size - there's a star :D)

On the second day, our dad's had the bright idea of going for a bushwalk. Fine, I can handle that with sore legs and bruises :) no really, I can...except 8km is a biiiiiiiiiiit rough. The first half was really fun, Dad was singing stupid songs and Mum was being odd

We made it to a few lookout points and took photos, of course.

Once we hit a bunch of stairs, things started to suck more. There were 200 stairs to go down the beach, meaning to get back to the carpark we'd have to climb 200 stairs back up =__= We figured we might as well stop at the beach for a bit before we continued on...

SANDCASTLE....fail

Instead of walking back up the 200 stairs, the Dads made us walk to the other end of the beach, so we could get to a pathway back to the carpark WITHOUT stairs. Walking along the beach was...interesting =/

Dead penguin :( and a stream that seemed to start nowhere. This seemed to bother my dad...

The weather was nice that day but not good enough to actually chill out on the beach, so Susan and I went for a walk in the afternoon down to the shops, and came home with 3 scoops of gelati :D I saw a ladybug on a pair of pants and got stared at by a lot of people while I was trying to take a photo and pick it up, haha

Had a massive Cluedo-off in the evening...

Surae won 3 games, Susan/herdad/I won 1 game each and my Dad was sooooo into it that he lost every game :) He even had an A4 sheet of paper with notes on it haha, waay too into it

And then yesterday we went round to a few beaches but Susan was too cold to go in so it was just her sis and me kicking at the waves...too bad the weather warmed up majorly in the afternoon and we didn't have enough time to go beach'ing again, coz HORSERIDING :D oh my FRICKIN gosh, my horse was a GREEDY ASS =___= The trail ride hadn't even started yet and my horse went off somewhere and started eating grass like a maniac...got him/her back on track (horse's name was Ash) and everything went totally fine...except for the fact that he/she KEPT EATING =__= ATE SO MUCH HE DECIDED TO WALK ME INTO A TREE BRANCH. So I have scratches on my arm coz of that...hah. A Russian lady tried to dodge that same branch and she fell OFF her horse O.O her horse was insane!! The trail ended up at the beach and while half the group went cantering, her horse started madly running towards to rocks and MY HORSE FOLLOWED =__= I THOUGHT I WAS GUNNA DIE FORREAL.

Gentle lookin thing though aye...

Susan's horse decided to sit down and roll in the sand, and then afterwards her horse got scared of a stick and held us all up for a bit while we stopped and waited (and my horse ate some more). By now my arms are tired as heck from pulling at the reins, so I was thankful when we got back to the stables...the ride was really fun but my arm/legs/groin are KILLING ME

AND I HAVE A BRUISE ON EACH ASS CHEEK

Went to cousins house for dinner to celebrate Susan's 16th as well, had a good meal and awesome cake = happy and satisfied woohoo

going :)

I had a freaky dream last night that I was in Rye with Annette and we were on the pier

She gave me a fright and I flung my camera into the water

After a few days, I called the people in charge of that beach (...people like that don't exist in real life do they o.o)

They fished around at the bottom of the ocean and FOUND IT

except my camera (which is blue and silver) turned into this pale yellow/gold and silver O.O but it looked nice

and now I really want a yellow and silver camera....

YUP story of my life...and now I'm going to Rye so hopefully I don't drop my camera in the ocean or something...

(the other night I dreamt I was taking the train home...with the QUEEN O.O and I haven't met the Queen yet so I'm guessing my camera will be okay)

xo

lethargic...

2 hours left of work for today

I started reading Pride and Prejudice for the 8th time...and I sat a practice learners test online 3 times

and spent the rest of the time on iminlikewithyou again

heh

RYE TOMORROW AGAIN

BUT THIS TIME WITH SUSAN AND FAM

YAYAYAYAYY

new bag :D and pencil case...

FINALLY GOT A NEW BAG

I can finally disown my 2 year old self-painted bag that's half falling apart at the zip...

and say ahoy to this one :D

Found it 15 minutes before the shopping centre completely closed down...Susan pointed at the store (she wants credit for finding the store) and I found the bag, grabbed it and bought it

Stayed at her place for dinner and we watched Iron Man...haaah the dude looks like his mum was a Transformer and his dad was a Power Ranger...

(photo courtesy of my FINALLY ACTIVATED IPHONE OMG =__=)

how many times have i been to the pool these holidays...

Yes..

Again...

We got creative with jumping in :)

I was gonna leave it at that, but I just remembered haha, there was this little boy with floaties in the 2m deep end...we bombed in and he went "WHEN I'M HAVING MY SWIMMING LESSON YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO JUMP IN!!" (and clearly there was no lesson going on)

Then the kid did this CRAZY flip off the edge of the pool and his floaties flew off...we were laughing at him til we realised it was the 2m deep end and he was probably 4 years old =/ so we started helping him out, but a random couple (that Emma was obsessed with knowing whether they were bro/sis or bf/gf LOL) got him out safe to his mum

byebye steph

Went to Steph's place in the arvo to see her once more because she goes on european tour with her school orchestra LUCKY ASS

Susan and her fam had been watching action movies for like 2 weeks, so she was up for some SERIOUSLY soppy chickflicks...

So some popcorn, pepsi and a lot of ferrero rocher's later, we watching Blind Dating and Definately Maybe...except Susie's mum came at 6 and took us home before the latter one finished :( I fully thought MY mum would come get us when I called her after the movie but noo, unexpected surprise...

Susan's mum said that our holidays are so full of fun that a little disappointment is good for us...haha

OH AND SHE CAN SPEAK GERMAN WTF I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!!!!!!

Ich bin cool.

xo

IPHONE YAAAHH!!!!!

Woke up this morning and asked dad if I could have an iphone

and just like that

I got one

O.O

And my old phone contract just happened to expire today!

I got the 16gb in black, with a screen protector that drove me insane for about 3 hours because the first time I put it on, there were 2 flecks of dust under it = 2 little bubbles

THE MORE I CLEANED, THE MORE DUST I GOT =__= IF I WASHED IT, I GOT WATER MARKS ALL OVER IT =__=

That's when it occurred to me the screen protector isn't actually sticky on one side, it's just static

So I used sticky tape to unpick all the dust bits and now it's dust free and even beautifuller :D

The only downside right now is that it's gonna take 2 days til it activates, because I'm keeping my old number...I've been amused all day by apps and stuff anyway, so it's no big deal :D

I wanna get one of these for it...and one for my macbook seeing as we don't have specified laptops for school next year :D

untitled

Didn't do anything almost all day...wasted my life on digg.com and iminlikewithyou.com AGAIN, picked up milk for mum from the shops and such

BUT SUSAN'S BAAAACK :D

Had their family over for dinner :) She has the WEIRDEST tan/burn on her back, it looks something like this

(imagine this is the back of someone - shut up at my computer pain drawing skills, it looks like a sad face I KNOW I know...)

Kinda like a swimsuit tan except they're literally just LINES!! As if someone failed at putting sunscreen on her

And it's pissing ME off coz I can't work out WHY they turned out to be that way...hahaha

NYE fireworks 08

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!

Fireworks were awesome...first time for me to be seeing them NOT on the telly :D I expected it to be CRAZY crowded but it was only mildly crazy, which was great!

Min and Erika couldn't get onto the train coz it was too crowded, so I had to wait at Flinders on my own for a bit. I saw this woman who was pretty overweight and dressed in a really skanky outfit and I heard her go, "There's all these fcking wogs and sluts everywhere!!" ..........uhm LOL

Walked on the tram tracks to Crown WOO!

Couldn't find Lisa or Annie or anyone, so we mucked around in Galactic Circus and played cards from 9 til 11...haaah. Erika bought a really sweet berry drink or something from Krispy Kreme...it was the most disgusting drink I've ever tasted =/

OMGFIRE!

We walked as far as we could towards Flinders without getting crushed, and ended up with a spot RIGHT in front of the fireworks boat thing!! I've never seen fireworks SO close up, I was like a little kid seeing snow for the first time :D

Rushing back to Flinders was really crampy, I temporarily lost Erika because the crowd was pretty pushy...I also lost Min and Mike and someone grabbed my butt =/ I assumed it was Min being pushed away from me but turns out it wasn't, so I got really creeped out...

Once I found Erika, we still couldn't find the others, but thanks to our awesome glowing bunny ears

we found each other again :D
