The trip part 1

the trip was amazing.

I didn't have any clothes with me so i tried on this big jesus like dress of jordyns and I was convinced that I had climbed through a material tube, and poked my arms and head through and wore it. The dress is see through so I put on my see through shoes and then I convinced all of them that I was invisible. I decided I was too much like jesus so I put my moomoo hippie dress thing back on and went to get a cup of water. I had Tims thongs on and the cup was bigger then a regular cup and tims shoes are too big for me but not too much, so with the big cup and the big shoes and the really stretched moomoo everyone thought I had shrunk slightly.

We had this big conversation about recalling all the incidents we had heard of animals escaping from the zoo. We decided to go for a walk to get ciggerettes. People on bikes were riding past with their lights on, I thought that they were shooting stars. We didn't notice this big apartment building til the last second and it spooked us so Tim yelled "SPAGHETT" The man in the convenience store wouldn't sell us them because no one thought to bring ID. On the way back Sam came maybe a split second from getting hit by a car. I was really afraid of the cars, I thought that they were charging at us and that they came in packs. We found a phonebox and it was illuminated and the most amazing thing me and Tim had ever seen.

We decided to DRIVE back to the petrol station, and I decided I would absolutely die if I didnt get a drink. Tim understood how dire the situation was and helped me select a drink. We went with Watermelon gatorade which became a health pack, like in games. It scared me because when I drank it I couldnt understand how I could fit a whole watermelon in my mouth. we went to the park and climbed the monkeybars. Tim got stuck and I thought that he melted into the monkeybars.

Nav and Ben came across some fireworks somewhere. They had a lot of trouble lighting it and I was afraid that it was spontaneously explode. We had started to think that the monkeybars were a really uncomfortable bed, so we got down because of that and we were convinced that the fireworks were going to come bite us. The second one worked and it was massive. To me it looked like a giant fire dragon that swept over me.

Jordyn and Sam climbed up onto to shadecloth kind of tent thing that stands over swings in parks. They thought it was a cloud. Tim was trying to get me up there but I thought he was a bendy beanpole and didn't let him. We found this giant tree that was SO hard to climb. It was just so tall. somehow with the help of Tim I made it up but kind of fell into the fork in the middle and got very very stuck wedged in with my legs at like a 80 degree angle in the air, and my face in the center of the tree. I was SO STUCK. somehow after a while I managed to roll over but I was still on my head and my legs up in the air. Somehow I corrected it. Tim decided he really wanted to come up but it was just so tall. I couldnt get down either, I thought the tree was trying to hug me, I tried to jump out but then I thought it was amazingly high. Tim was trying to tell me he would catch me but I couldnt get through the branches. I ended up jumping through expecting to plunge to my death, but it was actually only maybe 7 foot high. Tim had tried so hard to get up, he nearly pulled me out of the tree. He thought he had this great idea to run and jump into the tree, but forgot to jump and ended up just sprinting into the tree.


We went for a walk, and found Brisbane river around a bend in the path. It was the most magical thing that I or Tim had ever seen. The thing about acid is that you lose all your judgement and have no concept whatsoever of space and gravity. We were on this big embankment cliff type thing and Tim thought that he could get down it. What looked like one step and some inviting water was actually about 20 foot steep embankment with marsh trees and jagged rocks at the bottom. I had to stop him. we found this odd path thing and though it was leading to a lizards cave or something, it was just a bench, but wow. what a bench! On the walk I saw a bike in the distance and was convinced that someone was after us. We ran away to this pagola that was green and white and tims shirt was green and white so we thought he was a fence chameleon. We started collecting presents for the others which turned out to be some bottlecaps and a broken umbrella. The bike was actually part of bicycle parking which we staked out for a bit trying to catch a shooting star, it didnt happen.

We got lost on the way back but it turned out we hadnt gone very far at all. I was looking for familiar landmarks which was a broken down car, that I thought that the other cars had turned on it and left it to die. I was leaving a trail of bottlecaps because we were Hansel and Gretal. We got back to the cloud and began to swing on the swing. Me and Tim thought that the swings were mechanical because we were synchronised swinging. Tim started freaking out because he couldnt stop swinging and he was just getting higher and higher, then I started freaking out because my swing twisted and I thought the swing was trying to slowly constrict and eat me.

I started rolling down the hill, and Tim came joined me. It was fun until I got what I thought were firecrackers in my sleeves, which turned out to be ants that left massive welts up my arms.


Part two,

soon.
