    Gush-Meet

    Saturday 16th of December was my very first Gush-Meet, held at Lake Weeroona.

    A short summary of the day involves myself, Joanna, Squid, Godiswatching, 5levelsofdata, Cozmos, BelovedGirl and FireBird meeting up at Lake Weeroona for a BBQ lunch.

    Once everyone finally arrived we spent time eating and bumming around and going on Gush on Cozmos' phone. Finally Squid had to go to some pool thing so we dropped him off and climbed the tower in the park. We watched this lady run up and down the tower over and over... she had so much energy!

    After the tower visit we ended up doing some quick shopping so some of the guys could buy some clothing to go swimming in. We did that and then Belovedgirl and myself dropped Joanna at home whilst the others continued to the caravan park, where we joined them shortly after. After setting up the marquee between the caravans we went to the parks pool where 5levels, Godiswatching and Cozmos had a dip and some of us (ie: me) managed to get our bottom half soaked without actually getting in the water (and it was discovered I have very ticklish feet)

    We then headed off to KFC for dinner. From this point Belovedgirl went home and the rest of us (by now there were 4) went back to the caravan park. We watched Hitch, with subtitles, the speakers were too quiet. in a way this was good, as some of us spoke throughout the whole movie. I then went home just after 12 when my sister picked me up.

    In all, was a GREAT day, was good to meet Belovedgirl, Cozmos, 5level and Godiswatching. Was also good to get out of the house and socialise which is something I hadn't done since school finished.

    On a final note: ducks go quack, marquees are red, you can fit a person in a marquee bag, and Cozmos is part seal, part dolphin.

    Anyway, so concludes an extremely short version of my first Gush meet. There was more but meh

    VG

    Start of December was VG. Was a good weekend being able to catch up with everyone who I haven't seen for ages, form better friendships with others, that kind of stuff... the usual really.
     
    Was weird being a rover, I had to be careful how I acted around the venturers (well, was really only one) and I was there to work. However, BTRC ended up running the jelly wrestling... which was held at the same time I had the twirling workshop, so I couldn't help out :( darn, what a pity, lol. However, I spent most of the weekend at the Frat Tent with Alpha Theta Rovers "helping out" lol. Although Saturday night disco I actually dia have to work. Rach got a call over the radio to grab a few rovers/leaders and go to the disco tent to remove anyone wearing thongs or other inappropriate footwear as someone had gotten a nail through the foot or something. That was probably the most work I did all weekend.
     
    However, there was some major down points this year, one too many injuries and a devastating occurance. VG won't ever be the same as it will be a reminder to many. Sorry I couldn't be there for you guys after VG, I wanted to be in melbourne with you guys, not to say or do anything, just to be there for you all.

    my 18th

    I know I was 18 long ago (23 October) but I'm yet to blog about it... so here it goes.
    Yep, I turned 18, was on a Monday, I finished school the Friday before, which was disappointing, meant I couldn't see my friends, also meant it wouldn't be as fun to remember who remembered and who didn't.
     
    Didn't have an 18th, I went out for lunch with my sister and then went to work. Had my first legal drink which I shared with my sister (as I wasn't meant to be drinking before work) however, what we chose wasn't that great so I don't think we actually finished it.... I know I didn't anyway.
     
    Came home from work, had dinner with the family, went to bed.
     
    Wasn't too bad of a day I guess.
