I’ve been in Brisbane for going on a week, its funny that I find myself calling it my homebase, its a wonderful city, but my favorite is still Melbourne. But I am comfortable here and I love having Jellaine as a friend. She’s just so awesome and inspiring. Her business is doing so well, that she may quit her job soon and just work on Cherry Blooms and travel the world..how nice..
Let’s see..the first night I was here in stayed in the city so that I could hang out with some friends, Brian and Andrew, whom I met in Byron. That was kinda a slow night, just had some Goon and played cards..oh and they made me take my first shot of absenthe..ew, not a fan. This past weekend, I stayed with Jellaine and read a bunch and helped her pack up her things, as she will be traveling the next few weeks on and off and then to Europe and then she’ll find a place of her own. We Went out in teh Vally one night, she got me all fancy and dressy and did my makeup, (she’s much girlier than any of my girls back home, and its fun) Then I cam back to the city…let’s see…had a picnic with some Scottish people at Kangaroo Point…and….I even…ate the tiniest piece of kangaroo…. it took me a while before I woudl do it, then I did, and reconfirmed that i DO NOT want to eat meat. But as an aussie staple, thought I should try it. I was hoping to leave town next week, but can’t. I just have too many things going on! This Sunday I am going to participate in a Zombie walk, from one end of the city to another. We dress and act like zombies :) THen TUesday I have a burlesque dance class…hahah!! Yep, Jell and I joined a dance class and we are performing at the state library (hahah) and some theatre this dance next weekend!! I’ll take pics and post the video..if I actually do it. It’s completely out of my element..but thats what life is about, saying Yes more to things you never thought you’d do! Thats another reason why I love Jellaine. She’s always doing something new and anything she ever wanted to do, she just does it. Love that girl. So today I am going costume shopping wiht some friends and the burlesque costume will also suffice as my halloween costume for when Jell and I go to a Michael Jackson’s Thriller themed Halloween party!!! WHOOOHOOO for an awesome week to come.. I know this is a rushed entry, but its a beautiful day. I am sitting in this beautiful New Orleans style home, two stories wiht balconies overlooking the city street. Its awesome, its the only “home” admist these gigantic skyscrapers. And on top of that, it is a charity based cafe and art gallery with proceeds going to single moms trying to start their own businesses. The only down side: I ordered a chai tea and its disgusting…kinda tastes like green bean casserol….lol how gross. But I had an awesome run and workout this morning. Ran to south bank to kagaroo point and did strength training and ran back. I know that means nothing to anyone outside Brissy but its a good workout and I feel great!! Well, will post pictures soon. I dropped my camera about 6 inches and now its very tempramental so pictures may be less these days..sorry!
