I think I've lost a day.
New years eve was awesome. Woodford was really great as it always is. The weather was so bad, it was basically wading through mud and belting rain all day. The festival itself is all about the environment and issues all relating to becoming a better world, so its a really positive place to be at. I went with Jordyn and Lyndsey but we met up with Bec & Sofie and some of their friends to dance in the rain to some raggae bands for a few hours. fantastic.
We decided to go to the valley for actual new Years so we left Woodford at 9 to go back to the car. The weather was so bad they had shuttle buses carrying people to and from the campsites which some were quite far away because of flooding. We lost the car in the dark and when we finally found it we were getting pretty late. I took a wrong turn and got the car bogged in a swamp. The swamp was pretty remote and there was no one around, so I started panicing. We were in a 4WD but I didn't know how to turn the 4WD on. Because of New years the Networks on the phone were busy and I was paniced thinking that we were going to spend New years stuck in a swamp in the rain in the dark covered in mud where no one would find us. My paniced response to that was to get out in the mud, flail around a bit to try and dig the mud out. DIDN'T WORK, just got really really dirty. The end of the story is APPARANTLY you have to get out of the car to lock the wheel after you put the car in 4WD gear to get it on 4WD. It drove right out.
Had like 5 minutes to have a shower and get ready for valley, Went wearing a moomoo and a daisy chain on my head. Perfect timing for the valley 11:30. Spent the actual countdown in a tree sitting next to some guy named Holeness and the rest of the friends. The rest of the night is a massive blur. I remember at some point wondering around lost with a blonde total babe backpacker from Holland, climbing the story bridge, not getting let back into Monastry (I was a MESS) and still being out at 7 in the morning. I normally can hold it together pretty well, I just don't know what happened. I think the free drinks and drugs had a LOT to do with it but I still feel pretty embarassed I cant really piece together the night.
I went with Tim back to jordyns to sleep in the tent for a bit. It was too hot and Tim stole the couch and they slept all day so I got ridiculously stoned and passed out on the tiles, I woke up with the hookah still in my hand, so i moved back to the tent. I only just remembered that I woke up in a puddle, the tent got flooded majorly so i just moved the electrical stuff out of the water and went back to sleep in the puddle. I had some weird memory and went from sleep to running to save tims phone from the outside and the rain.
I turned around and everyone was over and awake and just STARING at me. that was weird. it was like 6 and Jord and Tim went out to get trips. Nav and Ben are fun to talk with, they talk about stuff like mouse pancakes and potato chip chewing gum.
