Munty Pub
Okej, var ska jag borja,Jag har gatt igenom manga handelser 9 manader genom min forsta stora resa har i Australien. Jag har traffat folk som, om jag inte haft min starka personlighet o tro i mig sjalv hade jag inte suttit har idag och sagt att ag ar glad att jag kom darifran.. Hade jag varit svagare hade situtionen varit annorlunda. Jag har klarat mig pa ensam fot sedan jag lamnade Queensland och akte till Yamba I november. Jag har upplevt handelser som har oppnat mina ogon, gjort mig starkare och med en aningen andrad syn pa livet. Jag har traffat manniskor som du kan tro ar godheten sjalva och har hjalpt mig, stort eller litet. Jag har aven traffat dem som ser pa saker anorlunda. Varje dag har bestatt av moten av nya manniskor och endel inspirerar mig mer an andra.
Jag trivs dar jag ar nu, men som sommaren nalkas hemma i Sverige kommer Australienska Vintern narmre och namre. Snart ar aven dagarna kalla har. Jag skulle inte pasta att jag har hemlangtan men dock att jag saknar alla dar hemma och att jag ser fram emot att traffa alla mina kara igen. O ena sidan ar det dax att aka hem, a andra sidan har jag aldles for mycket kvar att upptacka. Jag har skaffat vnner o bekanta som jag inte vill lamna. Jag har vanner o bekanta pa andra sidan jorden ocksa. Det ar mycket kvar o se och jag tar vara pa varje tillfalle nar de dyker upp, Jag har latit ett par glida mig ur handerna som jag bittert fatt angra efterat.
Varje dag levs bara en gang i en livstid. Detta star faktiskt pa en trams biljett som jag anvande i Adelaide, Glenelg, South Australia. Fast pa engelska. Saklart, haha.
I detta nu sitter jag i Muntadgin som ligger mitt i det centrala Wheatbelt, Det innebar, bonder, farmare, o ytterligare bonder. Jag sitter har pagrund av en tjej som heter Grace. Jag var i Busselton en fin kvall, hade kopt snorkel o glasogon och tog mig en simtur i Indiska havet. Vattnet ar underbart, men denna dagen var det blasigt. Vi borjar prata sa som man gor nar man ar ute o snorklar i ett vatten som ar grumligt..
Nasta morgon satt jag i hennes bil pavag till Perth. ( lyckliga jag nar hon bodde nara Ikea) JAg sokte ett jobb, fick ett uptryckt i nyllet pa mig o sa " Can you start tomorrow?"
Nasta morgon satt jag pa taget, 3tim oster om Perth klev jag av. Upphamtad i en bil och kord till puben som nu skulle bli mitt hem och mitt jobbfor de nastkommande 3 manaderna om allt gar bra.
Muntadgin bestar av en wheatbin - dar de har allt vete. ca 7 hus, en pub och satans mycket damm. Jo, de har en damm och en golfbana ocksa, men that's it!
Folket larde jag mig ganksa snabbt att de ar trogna och gor allt for att ge mig sa mycket skit som mojligt. Missforsta mig inte nu, men det ar mitt jobb. Under de 4 veckor jag suttit under detta tak har jag lart mig flertalet party tricks, att bonder ar bra pa att snacka skit om andra " I farted, by the time I got to town, I shat myself". Vad som ar viktigast dock ar att de alla ar riktigt harliga och shyssta. Salange deras glas ar standigt fulla och jag har lart mig ett nytt skamt. Under baren har vi en utkladnings lada, mycket avancerad. Mitt forsta kvall bakom baren kom ett gang footie killar in. Ett gang om 20 redan berusade vinnande footiekillar ska namnas. Wow, jag ar fortfarande shockafd over vad som kan handa pa en pub sa langt fran narmsta stad. Aven fast det var mangfalt mer testosteron i lokalerna kunde jag inte se annat an klannigar. Nasta footi klubb som kom fporbi 2 veckor senare hittade ocksa denna magiska lada men under min korta rast och mycket suspect shoane hade de pa nagot sett fatt av sig dessa utkladnings klader.. tillsammans med sina egna! Golvet var fullt av bara overkroppar!!! Fotona fran dessa kvallar ar slaende.
Ett par lappar med nummer pa aterfinns nu i mitt rum som forovrigt ar ett fint litet rum med blommiga gardiner och en gnisslande sang.
Idag startade egentligen med igar, precis som alla dagar gor, fast annorlunda! Vi var tre personer inne i baren pa en sondagkvall. Lighty sager till mig, vill ta du nagot o dricka sa drar vi till Kieth och ser om han har ett party pa G. Som jag beskrev tidigare later jag inte sadana handelser glida mig ur handerna sa jag sa till honom " fuck yeah!'
Jag kor bilen dit, under kvallen kor jag aven en 4-hjuling. Och forlat mig mamma, men det gick ganska fort.
Vi hann aven med en fin lagereld och ett par ol. Efter ett par timmars somn var det dax for nya aventyr.. Hast ridning stod pa schemat, min enda lediga dag. Prada. Mitt lillfinger gor ont for hon bestamde sig namligen for att hon skulle minsann inte lata mig bestamma. Jo, Lilla Kajsa satt pa marken en liten stund, forskrackligt ovantat. Jag har suttit pa oerhort manga hastkrafter idag. Grona john deere traktorer o rostiga lastbilar. Jag jag jagat Rav, men inte sa som jag trodde folk jagade rav, nej men med en fullvuxen bil. Vi sladdade in pa faltet och jagade den stackars raven i manga minuter innan den hittade sakerheten bakom stangslet. De ar snabba pa att andra riktning de dar listiga ravarna, sa ar lighty.
Jag har sett Bull-ants, eller sakallade tjur myror, Laskiga bestar. Om jag tog ett foto skulle ni inte tro mig for det ser ut som ett vanligt myrbo bara att de anvander stenar istallet for sand nar de bygger och ar cirka 4 ggr storre an en vanlig myra. Nar vi lastade pa godning hittade vi ocksa en spindel. En Mouse Spider, en hane, jag har googlat det. Den var mycket aggresiv men jag lat den inte komma nara nog for att stoppa sina feta bestar i mig.
Imorgon ar det tisdag och min arbetsvecka borjar igen.
Munty pub, you gotta love it

Run Run Run // Bryan Moodie
Jag vill borja skriva om hur jag ar.
Jag vill fortsatta med att beratta vad som hant.
Jag ar en van, en tjej som har latt for att skaffa vanner. En bra egenskap.
Jag ar en som loser mina problem genom att springa. Jag sprang nar mitt ex brot upp. jag sprang nar mina foraldrar skiljde sig. Jag springer nar jag har problem.
Jag sprang idag.
Bryan Moodie, en vann, bestamde sig for att gora nagot at hans liv. Jag kan inte beskriva med ord eller tarar hur oerhort ... jag vet inte ens vad, som jag kanner mig.
Morbultad.
Bryan ar en av dessa vanner som jag funnit och vunnit i Australia. Narmare bestamt i Yamba.
Manga skulle beskriva honom som en dorrvakt. Jag sager att han ar mycket mer an sa.
Jag skriver detta pa svenska, inte bara for att han nu kan alla varldens sprak utan for att jag hoppas att han redan hort mina tankar.
Sa manga timmar vi tillbringat tillsammans, mestadels utanfor dorren till Pacific Hotel, for att det var dar jag visste att han var. Den basta dorrvakten i hela varlden.
De forsta gangerna jag traffade honom var han inte mycket mer an en leende och valkomnande man som stod i vagen for min berusade tid inne pa puben. Efter hand fick han mig att kanna mig overvaldigad av att komma in dar med bara ett leende och en Hi Bryan! och ett stort leende. Han var alltid lika glad att se mig.
Efter hand umgicks vi mer och mer. Hade en drink ihop och manga leende foton.
Nar jag sett att han har skiftet har jag gatt ut och pratat, om honom om mig, om traning, livet, vanner, you name it. Bryan ar en bra man. var. fan.
Jag skulle skriva ett sms till dig haromdagen, bara hora hur laget ar. Batteriet var slut.
I borjan av januari var jag ute och sprang igen. problem. Jag var ute i tre timmar och redan i borjan bestamde jag mig for att mota Bryan. Vi pratade i ytterligare ett par timmar, det blev kallt, jag hamtade en jacka, kom tillbaka och fortsatte prata. Han loste mina problem.
Jag hade en sista dag pa Pacific hotel for att saga hejda till alla. Jag ville inte behova saga hejda till min vann Bryan. Jag smsade honom pa natten nar jag lag ensam o forvirrad natten innan jag skulle lamna Yamba. Han hjalpe mig aven har. Han ar en bra man.
en mycket odmjuk sjal. A very kind soul.
Jag kommer alltid minnas dig, in good times and in bad times.
VILA I FRID
REST IN PEACE
Jag saknar dig
My Swedish day in Australia
I forrgar va jag pa Ikea. At kottbullar med brunsas och lingonsylt! JAM! Till efterratt blev det 2 koppar kaffe tillsammans med 2 kanelbullar som jag varmde i en micro jag hittade i restaurangen for barnmaten. Lyxigt pa toppniva! Jag njot av varenda liten tugga, varje klunk som jag tog. Bissarheten slog mig nar jag tittade ut genom fonstret. Ett par flaggor star utanfor byggnaden. En svensk, en Australiensk. Svenska flaggan narmast mig. Jag kikade mot horrisonten. Dar ser man alla skyskrapor. Sydneys utkikstorn i mitten. du ar pa "svensk" mark men ett par kilometer harifran ligger storstaden i Austalien. Jag satt har sakert ett par timmar och kikade igenom IKEA katalogen och laste lite Snabba Cash. Funderade pa att antingen skaffa en tredje kanelbulle eller fler kottbullar.
Jag vandrade igenom ikea, dromde om hur jag ska bo nar jag kommer hem. inspirerad, full av skapad gladje. Tom i bemarkelsen att jag inte far ha nagot av detta. Kan ju inte inreda ett packpacker rum heller!
Nar jag kom till kiosken sa vandrade jag igenom och insag att jag inte ar vad vid ikeas mat och att de sag ut att vara ganksa anorlunda. Kom iallafall hem med Senapssill, graddfilssill, knackebrod och Kaviar!
Igarkvall avnjot jag endel av sillen men potatis, smakade sommar!
Imorse blev det knackemackor med Kaviar, Mums!
Jag borde ta in pa ett hostel inatt, har inte bokat nagot pga att jag trodde jag skulle dra idag. Hoppas de har lediga platser dit jag har tankt mig att spendera natten.
Klockan ar redan 4, dax att tanka pa lunch/middag! Det basta sattet att spara pengar ar att ata bada samtidigt :)
Vi hores! Kramar fran Kajsa pa andra sidan Jorden

Australia day 26 January
After a week in Nambucca and one day spent in Coffs harbour I'm finaly in Port Macquarie.
Coffs has a great shopping plaza, that I like, but my wallet or backpack does not. I got soo many new clothes that its insane. What were I thinking? two dresses, 8 t-shirts/singels, two bikinis and a pair of sunglases. Nothing over $15. What a bargain!
After a week of rain and the weather forecast telling me in a harsh voice it will be another ten til we see the sun again me and Angela escaped the flooding close to nambucca and went towards the Billabong zoo/ wildlife park in Port Macquarie. We were alone. If thats because it was raining, the park was flodded or because they rather sat at home with a beer celebrating the nation on this day..
Anywho, we were alone til the Koala tour was on. Koalas are funny, really cute and fury. I did pet the Koala eventhough I might admit that I wouldnt mind petting the Koala guide too.
And I learnt that Vombats are really cute, especially the babies,this one love being petted on the belly too he 'said' so I did!
I checked in at Ozzie Pozzie. On my way our for a walk a guy named Simon said ' Hey, where are you going, come have a beer, do you have some? No? Well you can have some of mine!'
And what a night. After a Barbie, pool volleyball and chilling madly in the couches listening to JJJ Hottest 100 ( 'somebody that I used to know/ won! jihu!!) the clock was way past midnight and we continued the night in the backyard. Guitar. Song, Music, people, laughing. What a great night! I didn't make it til bed until close to four. Breaky at eight.
The plans for today is to go to the beach, have a swim a read and an orange and plenty of water to get my bloodlevel to normal again.
Happy Australia Day everyone (yep, I know i'm one day late :)
Ha det bast! Stora Kramar fran Down Under

The (great) life of being a backpacker
Damn tourists I say, a moment later realizing, well so am I. And I have to admit that I love it.
A backpacker is a species of its own. In terms like
' I should employ a backapacker'
' The backpackers are everywhere' or
' I met a backpacker yesterday!"
It's a great life to live.
+It's easy to find friends (You meet so many people everyday, most of them you only meet for the day),
+The variety of food is big (try noodels with a new flavour or see if there is something in the free-food box today, you might get lucky)
+ Experience the Australian culture by drinking beer, everyday if you want to (after a week you will walk in too a bottel-o and buy a 5 litre Goon-box for $12, since you're running out of money for drinking too much beer)
+ Heaps of discounts (many of these are not to be trusted, they know we dont know what it should cost)
+Meet Hot Australians (honestly, what you meet is Germans and people all-over-the-world, everything but Australians)
+Travel with bus and train (hopefully the heat will the turn off, This time!)
+ See interesting native animals (If you travel by car, that you mainly will see is dead ones. The funniest animals are Aussieguys from Brisbane, while drunk)
+Get a nice suntan (Have you seen the ads for spraytan, its been rainingfor a week!?)
+ Learn to surf (This takes years before you are even close as good as the ones on TV, but ohboy, just paddling with the surfguys can give you memories, or scares if a wave catches you, for life)
+Have everything you need with you in a backpack (everything we want and everything we need is not always the same. Why isnt a pair of heels tiny and doesnt weight nothing? The backpack is already over 20kg..)
+Sleep in dorms (This could be a 21 bed dorm, in here everything can happen, its a wildlife with sex, drugs and cocroashes)
+ Have Awsome parties (hope you will find your back home)
+ Memories for life (If you spent most of your time drinking goon, these memories wont be some that you will tell your grandchildren)
Enjoy it while you can! This is a trip that we will remember, maybe forever and ever.

Nambucca Heads and Bowraville
I have succeded with one of the goals that I had before I left Sweden. To visit Angela in Nambucca heads and go horseriding! Tick in the box, Yes.
My horses name was (capu)chino and is a 14 hands spotty girl on about 12 years. Angela said she was happier and more forward then she had been with any other she has seen on hers back. which is great, and mean she liked me.
up,up,up the hills we went, trotting, counter (cauntaa in Aussie accent haha) and after a faboluos hour on the sweaty creature we were on the top. The view was awsome with subtropic rainforrest around us, underneith us and above us. Kookaburras were'singing', big lizzards were tree climbing and the feet kept trott, trott, trotting as we continued. The secure hoves knew where to put there feet and we reached the bottom of the steep mountain safely.
~~~
To leave Yamba was a big step. It fellt like moving from my home once again, all my friends, the jobs I've had, my favourit spots, my surfboard, the great queensize bed I've had the luxuary to sleep in for more than 2 month. There was my family! I have spent christmas and new years here. I've always had a part in Macintosh's, Henwood's and Walker's family. Over christmas I even got two sisters they said. I have many memories from Yamba and I am quite shore many, many of them will be on my mind and in my memory for many, many years. I sent a postcard to dad today with painted pictures of where I've been, my favourit beach and the Pacific hotel where I worked. They look real. I will always put them on the best place on the wall, whereever I might live . I will look at them and remember what an Amazing adventure I have had, only 19 years old.
Everything is infront of my feet, every step I make is towards something new. New sight, experiense, a new memory, eyecandy on the beach and a step closer to know who I am.

It fellt like moving from my home once again, all my friends, the jobs I've had, my favourit spots, my surfboard, the great queensize bed I've had the luxuary to sleep in for more than 2 month. There was my family! I have spent christmas and new years here. I've always had a part in Macintosh's, Henwood's and Walker's family. Over christmas I even got two sisters they said. I have many memories from Yamba and I am quite shore many, many of them will be on my mind and in my memory for many, many years. I sent a postcard to dad today with painted pictures of where I've been, my favourit beach and the Pacific hotel where I worked. They look real. I will always put them on the best place on the wall, whereever I might live . I will look at them and remember what an Amazing adventure I have had, only 19 years old.
Everything is infront of my feet, every step I make is towards something new. New sight, experiense, a new memory, eyecandy on the beach and a step closer to know who I am.
what do you work with? Life, full time employment!
Today and yesterday has both been windy and rainy days in my favourite town Yamba. Yesterday when the rain ceesed I took my sneakers on for a walk and a bit. I walked the inland track nearby whitneys beach, continued on the beach, feeling surprised about the waves in the river. I felt the spray of ocean water as I run up the steps towards the lighthouse, passing turners big waves. I walked on the slippery road to arrive to the golfcourse by the time sun wanted to settle for the night. The kangoros escaped as they saw me walk by. As I continued all the way round the golf track my feet got more and more soaked since I had to step in the pots, big, and small along the way. The darkness fell and I didnt feel as secure anymore. The part where the track leads through a forest with sounds from animals up in the trees and on the ground I can not not get scared by my own thoughts.. snakes!? What if I get bitten, no one knows im here and I'm in the middle of nowhere! I ran out of the darkest spot out to the open field with roo's jumping away. Relief. When out of the track I direct my feet towards the hill. I walk with good steps until I reach the Pub. Thats my goal. After a good chat with the securityguard who has after alot of nights out become my friend. I had my beer, one fifty lashes. Ran upstairs to my home across the road. Its about 50 steps there. In the apartment Shinae walks around. Happy and surprised. Where have you been? Come check this out! I walk with her to her bedroom and get a good view of her wardrobe. Look its full! she sais. Telling me that she has more clothes than she thought she had, since al the time its clothes on the floor, in the wash or some elsewhere. Tonight al of her clothes were here. And yes, she had a full load in the washing machine to. So she had even more. We laughed. I had a piece of my sweet watermelon and then went the 50 something steps out in the cold again. shoes changed. A good chat with Brian again, clock strikes, it's already over 11.30 pm. I will go to sleep, I said. And so I did!
I live a good life in Yamba But two months in enough. I know the people I want to know, I have worked alot, have surfed alot. One thing that scares me is that I have to leave my beautiful board behind. My yellow 6.10 fish. we were in the newspaper the other day. Picture of us surfing. That picture is coming with me home so as heaps of photographies from beautiful ton Yamba NSW.
Me and Shinae have spent heaps of time on the beach. sometimes three times a day. Today is that kind of day. I will go there after im finished infront o the computer, talk to my new friends, the surfguards Abe and Jake that I know is on the patrol today since I had a swim before breakfast including toast and jam. Yum!
I havent done much today, but hope that I could be able to fill it with good stuff to do.
The sun is shining! I'm On my way out!
Talk to you soon again, in Yamba, Nambucca heads or Port Macquarie.
If you want to to something do it now, don't push it infront of you till it falls of the cliff and you are empty handed!

Gott nytt ar!
My christmas and new years have been great! I was really honesick a few days before and over the 24th but on the 25th a had a really good time! I went Slid and Slideing! I have never had this much fun on a christmasday! for those who doesnt know what this is, I' ll tell you.. You have a big, long piece of plastic that you rinse water and some soapmix on. this turns out to be really slippery! Since this is down a small hill too, this makes alot of fun!
I have never been this brused and messed up after a christmas before, but still the adrenalin from sliding down the hill in the speed made me go over and over again. And it was all worth it!
I also recieved some gifts, one from Shinaes mom Robin - a bottle of champagne. She told me she could have three daughters now when I am here over christmas, so in a way I had my mom here.. It was a great feeling to be with a familly atleast. That kept the christmas spirit up! I also got this big thiong of my great boss Lindy on the Pacific. Me and many other employees got $50 worf on a giftcard for a surfshop! Not too bad! :)
And a pair of pink shoes to work in that I enjoy working in while my partners laughing at me, haha.
New Years was quiet. I work al day, sleppt a few hours and that had champaigne and wine with Shinae, Christine and Bec and later on Filip too. We went to the pub, were there for 5 mins. When the fireworks started we went to Lindys and had first parcuette to the fireworks who were right beneth us. That was great!
Really good fireworks!
Now I am at the library. I have for the first time in a few weeks not started work at 6 am. I woke up early anyway. I went to Beachwood to work at 10 but Sevtap sent me home because I was stingy and messed everything up... This is one of the days where I dont know what I'm doing. She sent me home and asked me if I was tired, but I Cant be. The last few days I have been sleeping al day. Like the day before yesterday. Shinae and I worked from 6-10, had breakfust at Jack and lindys house, had a swim and then went streight to bed. We slept from 11.30 - 4pm. I woke up, woke shinae up and then went back to bed myself. Hahah, dont ask me why, or yeah, I thougt our nap should be over by than. Anyway, I went back to sleep, sleept to 6. Went down the hill tp return a dress to Hanukka at the Hostell. Ended up having food with them since 2 of the girls- Evelina and Lizz are leaving Yamba after 7 months here. insane. Some of us went for the fair and drove the bumpercars and some cha-cha, alot of fun! Later on we went for the bondfire at Whitneys beach. That was great. I was home at 11. Slept till 6, went to work.... blablabla. I have been working 55hrs this wee, and I'm on holiday!
Will start traveling in two weeks now anyway. Will miss my flatmate Shinae alot I think. We painted a painting yesterday, had frozen mango together, ate alot of food and just did the usual things that makes living with her so much fun!
The sun is shining I better get out of the library before the clouds comes rushing in. It clear blue sky, but anyway!
See you my friends,
Merry Christmas!
Happy New Years!
And My dearest friend Niklas Bjorling - Happy birthday, Grattis pa fodelsedagen!!

Welcome Home!
Now I have been in Yamba for 1 week and 4 days. And I havnt updated my blogg.. to bad!
Things are as usual in Yamba. A busy day means surfing in the morning, went to the grocerystore and then, yeah nothing else.
It felt like a relief when I stepped in to the doors til the YHA in Yamba and I recognised the staff and they remembered me. I arrived at 11pm and therefore went streight to bed. The next day was a haooy day because I saw that alot of people I left behind where still here and shain was surprised and greeted me with
"Welcome Home!"
No internet time left. See Ya

Noosa Heads - Im going in for the kill, im doing it for a thrill!
Jo men tjena, bara timmar efter att jag sagt att jag inte har jobb ringer de och ber mig jobba, nu! Imorgon drar jag till Yamba av just den anledningen! Blir ett par timmar tidig morgon, men det gillas skarpt!
So now I dont want to figure out how to spell things in Swedish without any wierd words containing to many A,A and O!
Today Josefin And I have been out walking in the chockingly beautiful NationalPark in Noosa heads. Vi took a 7.9 km long walk and after that we took a Kayak tour by ourselves in Noosa river for two hours! These houses.. wow. Rich people live there! And I am still yet though we went right to PeterPans free Internet, and salty! But it was heaps of fun!
Tomorrow im going to Yamba for work at Pacific hotel! She called me in panic because her cleaner had fell down the stairs and broken her ankel.. Bad for her, good for me.
Its just a couple of hours a day, but that doesnt mather , more time for surf for me! And yep, I desperatly am in a need of money now, haha.
I will stay there until crismas probably, wish feels nice. Unless I get the work at the themepark.. Hard to plan things nowadays! Good thing I am used to it from back home, but this is different.
I will be so much fun if Frida Nystrom comes here in February, Then we will start in Melbourne, meet up with my new friends there and then maybe head on towards Perth, do some surfing and relax and then Kakado national parks, pet Crocodiles there and then se the big rock - uluru and al the stuff thats there to see, Maybe I let her explore the Eastcoast as well, We havent talked about this at all. Just me brainstorming a bit! Yoih!
I also asked a friend to bring Kaviar here and give it to me! To bad they doestn have anything like that here. Just damn Vegemite. (that I only smelled on and not tasted haha) They dosnt have cheese on tube either which would be very conveniend when I will do 12 hour trip to Yamba tomorrow or just on the sandwishes.
Now Josefin screams for food so I better go and make her happy! haha. Tonight we will drink some wine to celebrate we wont se eachother for quite a while.
Haha and I have to tell this! (sorry Josefin for u being hungry)
Halloween was AWZOME!!
We came back from Fraser the same day as halloween is so we had no plans of really either dress up or take a drink. But! When we sat and ate a guy dressed out to 'Black sparrow' told us we should and went to get a Weddingdress for Josefin. She screamed of happiness and the adventure began. I did the dishes and she would find something for me to dress put as. She found a sleeping gown for me to wear. Good for me- dids have to put makeup on or anything. When J was almoast ready I came up with a great idea! To make a bedhead! So we started to make one side of my hair as bid as possible as if I had been sleeping on one side the entire night. HAha Then I took the pillow from the hostel and was ready to go!
Everyone tried to steel my pilow and many people tried to steal Josefins Virginity that she would lose after the marriage. It was a handful of candidates but he one she really was locking for wasnt there( or he had a REALLY great costume!) So she is still looking.. And I who was "draged out of bed to go to this party" went right to bed afterwards without getting dressed for bed again ;)
The funiest thing with this story is that J had made really, and I meen really good preparations for this show. Its like this: At fraser thre was this stuckup guy offering J to hava sex with him. She turned it down because she waited to loose her virginity til she gets married! I wish he would have been there this monday!
I'll try to ad some photos. My memory on the camera is full..
Now - Food. Oh happy day!
