anyway, wednesday was also my first encounter with false eyelashes. it was a fairly traumatic experience. see, the boxes tell you how to put the eyelashes on but say nothing about taking them off. i had no problems putting them on and they looked fine (i think, i'm no expert) but when i got home i nearly ripped my eyelids off trying to remove the lashes.
my main complaint of the night was that the only food that they served (apart from fairy floss, which doesn't count as food at all) was hot dogs. i cannot begin to express how much i dislike hot dogs. i would have been okay with it if they'd bothered selling packets of potato chips or something, but no. dumb.
it was a really good night though and i was grateful that mum didn't bother waking me up for school the next morning. instead we took my costume back to the party hire shop and did a little bit of shopping (always beats school).

thursday afternoon kylie had the bookshop packed up ready to leave early and we were on our way to brisbane to see jodi picoult and more importantly, bren. being the sneaky person i am, i told bren that we were still ages away less than two minutes before knocking at his door.
this is kind of confusing to explain. him and his dad were off to see the new batman movie while kylie, candice and i went to jodi picoult. except bren and his dad left at about 4:30, so we still had an hour and a half to fill in.
we decided on pizza for dinner (seeing as i don't eat enough pizza already) but we went to the opposing pizza place. i felt traitorous. but it was nice pizza, so it's okay. i like pizza more than i should, seeing how often i see/eat it.
jodi picoult was amazing! i didn't know what to expect since i've never been to see an author talking but she was great. they did a few readings from the book (which unfortunately i didn't finish reading beforehand, but they only read up to where i was up to). i just realised i'm saying 'they' but only mentioning jodi. it was actually jodi picoult and samantha van leer as they co-wrote the new book, 'between the lines'. after the readings, they took questions. i am proud of myself for actually getting up to ask a question seeing i generally don't.
kylie and candice were so amazing. we were waiting in line for about 30mins in freezing wind afterwards to get our books signed. i owe them a lot!

the trip home involved a lot of back seat cuddling with bren and buying a hersheys bar from the servo on the way home. bren bought me a red bull to keep me awake, too.
friday night was the gatton show with bren. i got him for two nights in a row, how lucky is that? we went on a few overpriced rides and spent too much money in the arcade. bren wanted to win me a penguin but there was no such luck. the way mum put it, i'm lucky to have a musician boyfriend and it's just one drawback that he's not all that great at sideshow alley games. in his defence, i suck too.
anyway, i had my heart set on a little stuffed penguin which was impossible to get. instead, i got a cute little stuffed bear which fit inside my handbag (not quite as impressive as the girls walking around with teddies bigger than them, but i love it lots anyway).

we stuck around for the fireworks, got show bags and then left. i always get bertie beetle show bags, you cannot go wrong with them.
we went to mcdonalds (this week was full of unhealthy eating, i know) and i bought a happy meal. i accidentally got two toys too, so that made me double the happy.

bren won the beautiful elephant for me at the show last year, and the bear this year. it says 'i love you', so it's double the cute. i think i will start a collection of the teeny prizes he wins for me.
i love them!
