Well this post is about two week late, but what they hey *Shrug* no one else has update theres... thats my excuse anyway.

Well BrisNova has once again come and gone and it was FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!

Below is a mish-mash of posts from the weekend.


Wednesday -

So I spent a shit load of money last night (money I don’t have mind you) on stuff for SupaNova. I was supposed to buy white pancake makeup, but the Costume Store had run out (like a year ago). So I ended up with liquid Manic Panic ’Goth White’. I’m heading to the chemist tonight to buy a translucent setting powder as well. I also picked up some material for a table cloth (for the party on Saturday night). A very expensive hair piece and some general make up supplies.
Arggg. This is supposed to be a fun weekend, not a stress fest, but I can’t help worrying about my Friday night costume, and the party and this bloody assignment I have for uni which apparently is due next week. I didn’t even know I had to do it.
My wonderful boss from work had brought in all her leftovers from her parents diamond wedding anniversary on the weekend. I am now the proud owner of some patty cases, I large 20 person Pavlova, two tins of caramel and a thing of cream. Yay me! That has cut costs significantly. I’m very lucky she was there. Now I just have to swing by the second hand store and pick up some silver trays and I’ll be all set. Apart from the actual making of the food that is.

Thursday -

Went out to dinner with The House [plus Meg], Lauren & Dan, and Drew. It was great fun, and tho we were a little late, the sushi was great. We had much fun with the gossiping and the weekend plans. Finished up around 10 with my AWESOME housemate Wham dropping everyone back to their respective dwellings, then coming back and taking Meg home.
Wham – you are made of WIN!

Friday –

I spent all day Friday jumping around like a freak due to my excitement about the coming weekend. After work I headed to the Preview Night at SupaNova (RNA Showgrounds) to volunteer my time. I decided to wear my cyber geisha outfit (cause Meg chickened out and left me ALONE) which seemed to be a win. I had more photos taken on Friday night then I’ve had at any other SupaNova! It was very much the ego boost. Then I stood around for ages (like 3 hours), avoided people I didn’t like/ are to socially inept to take the hint, and ate some pizza (Very bad idea – pizza is the Devil). Saw Marco & Rena and the Cool Shite Team and headed for drinks in the Valley with some old school friends. Still in the cyber geisha outfit mind you.

Saturday –

Today was the day of normal dressing. Though my hair was pretty awesome, I seem to have a thing for buns at the moment. Lol. Must be my repressed desires springing forth in my locks. Spent almost all day with the Cool Shite guys in the JB Room. Met Blunty for the first time [Hi Blunty], ran into Marco and Rena again [Hi guys], and got yelled at by some random because I asked him to move. Wanker.
I finished volunteering today at four so that I could get home in time to pick up the glasses and make party food. However I did not take into account that Aven would get lost on the way to the main entrance. Gah. Anyway. So my party was gatecrashed [Woe to the mini cupcakes!] and then the other half of my actual guests turned up. Which was grand, and much fun was had by all. Plus, there were jelly shots! J
It was a win all round.

Sunday –

Dressed as a Goth Lolli today and as I was at the con early [like 8 freaking AM] I decided to explore some of the stalls. I had a chat with Marianne De Piers, brought a book from her [Got it signed] and then caught up with Ego Freaky [whom I met on Friday night in the Valley]. Sunday saw me with an actually break, so I ran around the con for a bit, then got lunch [Gotta love them Ekka chips], and had a gossip with Marco. Also, got yelled at again, this time by a family whom I asked to move. Gah – what is the world coming to? Went home early again so as to return the glasses and persuade Stacey to come to the After Nova party with me.

The After Nova party was held at the Pig & Whistle on Eagle Street. First time I’ve been there, and probably the last, the prices were not user friendly, though the wedges were nice. Much drinking and gossiping and drinking and meeting of famous people went on. And some more drinking. Also I MET JENNIFER FALLON. Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....
And then there was more drinking.
And then we went to the After After Nova Party.
But there was no more drinking.
Then I realised that I had to be up and on my way to work in 3 hours. So we wobbled to the overpass and flagged down a taxi.
...
Three hours later, at Bowen Hills train station, I decided the wedges hadn’t been that nice after all [Note: I also decided this on the train, and at work. A lot. I don’t think I like wedges anymore...]
