rockfotzeJust quickly wanted to post about my New Years at Dreamworld and BBQ Breaks the next day (man that was tough two days).
New Years at Dreamworld was fun, though it rained almost the whole time. By the way Dreamworld is a massive theme park that's like a less-awesome but still good version of Disneyland (for those who aren't from Australia/Queensland). I went with Daz and although a couple of girls he knew were also there, we ran off and did our own thing most of the night. The queues for the big rides were crazy, even the one for the Cyclone which isn't that great had a massive line, and was the only one we went on. It was lucky too, since it poured down at one point while I was in that lineup, safely undercover. Poor Daz got caught in it though while out looking for a toilet.
We went on a bunch of the kiddie rides in the Nickelodeon are which meant no lines and hilarious fun. We were also good and didn't take naughty drugs, we actually had "happy high herbs" instead, which are legal and healthier (well, so they say) substitutes to illegal drugs with similar effects and less of the bad side-effects. Didn't drink my weight in alcohol as I had planned, but lining up for drinks was a pain in the ass. We watched Thirsty Merc over the midnight timeframe, under my little see-through umbrella in pouring rain hugging. It was actually pretty nice. Would have been nicer without the rain though, I gotta say.
We met up with Anthony when we got back to Brisbane, hung out at a couple of clubs but went home to get some sleep at about 4am.
Still dry and feeling fine at the start of the night.
An awful picture of us on the Angry Beavers mountain ride.
This was right before/after midnight under my trusty umbrella. Haha so high by then.
With Anthony later on at Planet. This is my new favourite pic of Anthony ever! Not so much of me.
The next day, after a weird sleep because those natural high things keep you buzzed for ages, we got up and had some food before going to BBQ Breaks, a dance music festival right on the river. It's a local affair so lots of locals acts, including the Adicts boys who did pretty good, even though it kept raining on and off. Damn weather. We opted for regular pills today which took their toll on me. I was already pretty tired from the night before and I took a little too much too soon, so I was in my own little world most of the day. It's a small venue, a big club actually, and since it was raining most of the time it was a little bit hard to get around. The most famous act there was Vanilla Ice. Yep, the one and only.He sure is nu-metal now days which is hilarious but also kind of hot. It was crazily packed out so I was pretty much shoved into a corner and couldn't see a thing, until I squeezed my way to a side area where I sort of got to watch him for a bit. Best version of Ice Ice Baby ever! Later that night when Vinyl Slingers were on there was this guy who looked an awful lot like Vanilla Ice. Maybe it was the drugs, but a bunch of people around me thought it was him too. I mean he looked like him and was holding a bottle of champagne like some sort of obnoxious rockstar, so it made sense! We eventually realised it wasn't him but I got a photo taken with him for the sake of it anyway.
But we stayed there til 9pm before Anthony, Daz and I decided we needed to chill out. I went to bed right away, I was completely strung out, which was a good move because I felt ok at work the next morning. Though that was short-lived D:
Daz and I a bit wet at the start of the day. I think Michelle and Anthony are trying to get away from us?
Anthony, me and Daz. I felt as bad as I look here. Drugs are bad!
Stephan being the gorgeous thing he always is. Love that guy to death XD
Possibly the WORST photo of all times but this is the Vanilla Ice guy. OK so when sober he didn't look like him much at all. But at the time I was so sure it was him, and so was Michelle and Daz which is why we had to get a photo of him, for prosperity and such. God I wish it was, that would have been too awesome for words!
So tomorrow it's Summafieldayze, yet another music festival, of the dance persuasion (hence staying in tonight). Though New Young Pony Club are playing and I love than band, so I'm not being a total festival slut, ok?! The next two months will be hard, since there are so many festivals. Big Day Out is on the 20th which is just enormous. Then Good Vibrations, Future Music and hopefully the V Festival. WHOA.
In other new something has been biting the crap outta me. I'm covered in bites which have become rashy. It's grossing me out but I've changed all the bedsheets, vacuumed the beds and sprayed surface spray all over the place so I hope it's over with. I do NOT need another bed bug type thing like I had in London. GROSS!
Also I'm getting chubby again after gorging over Christmas and pretty much the last two or so weeks. I haven't been to gym for as long and man it's showing already. Curse my shitty metabolism, curse it *fist shake*
