First day of Twenty-O-Five
I'm SOOoOoo buggered!
My legs are pretty much paralysed from walking! Although my fingers are fine, and thus I will probably type out the whole night.. even though I sooOoo couldn't be bothered right now!
So Chris Fish picked me up at about 5:50pm and we headed to Paiges house in his car, which he likes to call a shoebox.
We meet up with our girlies at Paige's and that was when the our adventure turned sour. (OMG, I could not be bothered to explain but I will.) I'll explain this first:
The original plan:
Chris was to drive us in his "shoebox" to Manly and find a parking spot. Running through my head was: You'll find a park but no closer than 1km away. This meant Chris could not drink any alcohol for the night, but he didn't care. We'd walk to Manly to meet up with other friends and then dance around etc and wait for the fireworks on the beach.
The new plan (thought up less than an hour before we met the girls):
We would all catch a bus to Manly and meet up with everyone and wait for the fireworks. We would catch a bus because Chris finally blurted out that he'd promise his mom he wouldn't drive to Manly. Therefore Chris was able to purchase alcohol.
What happened next:
Paige got slightly angry because we'd already had a good plan, this made Paige's mom rather annoyed aswell. Sarah was getting in on the arguement saying to Chris that he shouldn't have done this. As for myself, I was walking on my toes on this colourful square carpet listening in to the conversation; I was just going to have a stress-free night. So we finally decided on the 'new plan' (look above).
We drove just up the road to Tex Mex and ate dinner. We then drove back to Paige's and left Chris' car there and then walked just up the road to Pittwater Place to get some confectionary for the night. Chris got some alcohol. We got a bus which was PACKED!
In Narrabeen we decided to change buses because quite a few people on the bus were doing that. We were on a Wynyard bound bus, so we would have needed to change to a Manly bus sometime anyways. An empty Manly bus came around the cornera few minutes later. SCORE! We got a seat on this bus! I was thinking in my mind that I would see my good old friend, Rhys, because the bus went through his suburb. And sure enough he was on it.
The first Manly stop heaps of people, including us, got off.
We walked to the Corso to find friends. I saw SOoOo many friends, from Davo and from the Basin in 2002 and sooo many other people I hadn't seen in a while.
We danced off and on outside at the outdoor dance club type thing. Saw friends, couldn't find the girls for a while, saw more friends, danced a bit more. Then Sarah and I lost Paige and Chris but we, nonetheless, went to go find a good spot on the beach to view the fireworks!
I got some pretty gravvvy photos which I'm about to load on the computer. (I'll put some on here and on my website asap!)
The night was good compared to what I expected. We didn't have to wait that long til the fireworks because we got to Manly at about 10pm.
All in all it was a good night. The buses back were reletively quiet, execpt for C. Fishy throwing a bit of a tantrum. I like the kid. He was a bit silly changing plans at the last minute, but everything turned out fine so I'm good.
We got home at about 1:30am-2:00am and went and chatted to Paigey's parents, finally went to bed/sleep at about 4am.
Today:
I woke up at the crazy hour of 9am and Chris had apparently been awake for a few hours already. The girls woke up around the 9:30am mark too. We watched some television, ate breakfast, lounged about. Chris left somewhere around 11am-noon. I just continued to lounge about with the girls.
Sarah and I went out in the sun and lay on the beach for about an hour. (Paige's home backs onto Mona Vale beach) Next, we walked to the shops.. but silly us.. NOTHING was open. So we resorted to the BP Service Station. Got some yummy junk food and walked back home to chow. We watched some more tv.
Sarah went home at about 4:45pm and I vacated Paigey's at about 5:20pm.
All a super duper adventure! Any questions, ask me. Omg.. that took me a while to write! Time for beeeed! (Photos below)
Peace.
