8-1-10

Fun day today, after waking up at around 11:30- a compromise between early for me and late for Jamie- we had breakfast, washed the dog, and went into town where I got a Giant Stuffed Scoobie-Doo and an empty Poke-ball for a total of 50c. Coming back in, we had lunch then Jamie, Tyhneen and I walked to the Butterfly House for an Iced Chocolate. Both Kaitlin and Gemma were working, and my presence very much excited Kaity, who gave me a huge hug. She came back with us at four, spontaneously deciding to spend the rest of the day at Jamie's, (it was 4 O'clock.) I got home just as my phone started ringing. Anita..... she thought that we were weird when she came out to find the whole car waving at her. Turned out Mum had booked us into the Monster Trucks for the night, which was an awesome surprise. We got there around 6 and parked in the Cinema car-park, 'cause we were worried that there wouldn't be any closer to the show-grounds. Only, after a longer walk than we'd expected, (15 minutes!) we found that there was pleanty. =S Luckily, though, we managed to skip the enormous line up because of our online booking. Yay. It was super fun! There were some great motor-cross riders and of course 4 monster trucks, although only 3 of them were competing. TAZ, The Undertaker, and Batman. Scooby was supposed to be there, but was too badly damaged. Bear Foot was giving rides. My favourite was the Jet Car, a little Daihatsu with a French Military Jet Engine installed..... 1200 horse power, two doors. ! At one point they got a crane to drop a car from fourty metres, twice! And then later a monster truck, (the Undertaker,) ran over it, before the Jet Car incinerated it. Now that car was gone! Another monster truck, (Batman,) Parked on the cars that they'd been Jumping. The Jet Car also spun out a cloud of smoke and lit up, making an awesome glowing smoke ball. Plus, two motor cross riders- brothers- JUST managed to jump 11 cars. Awesomeness! I got an orange drink, Fairy Floss, and an American Hot-dog that the lady gave me $1 off of. But Mum wouldn't let me get a Light-sabre, even though I wanted to pay for THAT myself. She reckons that it's a waste of money, even though it lights up, changes colour, flashes and makes noise. Boy is she ever raising her children wrong. We got Hungry's for dinner, though by then I only wanted the drink. They air-condition their place something aweful!Then it was on home. I feel oddly cheerful and awake, despite the fact that it is half past 3 am, so I think that I may give a good shot to Sookie Stackhouse Book #5, Dead as a Doornail. A good Day. =D
