Brisbane and being ditched in Noosa

Oh roll my eyes already.  I can’t even START this blog post without shaking my head and rolling my eyes.  Deserted 2 hours from anywhere?  If it hadn’t happen to me I’d be tempted to believe it didn’t happen!!  WHO DOES THAT???

Deep breath.

As I was preparing pictures for this post I realized I have pictures of Wenchface.  Yep – I do.  BUT I have decided to use a certain degree of discretion and not post them.  I say certain degree because even though I’m not going to post a pic of her wenchFACE I am going to post a picture of her wenchA**  hahaha!    But we’ll get to that in a second.  First – Random Stranger from LA and I walked ALL over Brisbane on our first day there and I want to share a few photos of what we saw.  :)

One of the first things I like to do in a city is check out the postcards.  Why?  Because a quick perusal of the postcard section of the local convenience store will give you a great idea of what the best (or most notable) sights to see are.  HAHA!  Brisbane isn’t a large city however so we quickly discovered there were only like 4 prominent “things to see” (3 of which were bridges and we had already seen them.)

HAHAHAHAHA!!!  CHEESE!!!!  Total cheese shots.  Gotta LUV em!  I can’t look at the one below this without laughing.  LOL!!!

Thank goodness he and I are EXPLORERS!!! We decided to FIND stuff to see.  :)

It was at this beautiful swamp that mosquitoes tried to kill me.  So sad for me :(

The Random Stranger from LA ALMOST stepped on this water dragon – yikes!!

Ok that’s enough pics from our first day and a half around Brissy :)  It was the Random Stranger from LA’s bday – YAY!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

and we met up with a few of his friends for dinner (again – pics are being withheld because someone’s wenchFACE is in them.)  OOOH speaking of the dinner – can we say AWKWARD for me??  As soon as we were seated (with my being placed THREE places away from LA Dude)  it became apparent that Wenchface had arranged the seating in order to set the Random Stranger from LA up with her girlfriend.  Which is totally cool – I mean I was the unexpected tag along and she had probably been dreaming that the Random Stranger from LA was her friend’s lucky ticket to the US but let’s take a second and realize the complexities for ME in this situation. (hahaha!)  LOL.  Here I am - a random stranger myself – sitting at a dinner with 20 people – placed away from my sexy stranger – but close enough to have front row tickets to the “I want an american husband” show.  So great.  AAANNNNDDDD maybe this was part of the reason why wenchface didn’t like me from the start.  I was ruining her set up – OOPSIE!!!  HAHA – It’s such a shame that I don’t feel more guilt.

So anyway the NEXT DAY wenchface calls us first thing in the morning and invites us out on a personal tour of either the Gold Coast or Noosa.  We pick Noosa and she throws a mini-fit.  And this is where I tell you that I’m sorry in advance for how many times your eyes are going to roll from here on out. A mini-fit??  Did I mention this chic is 35 years old?  Anyway the weather was against her choice of the Gold Coast and so we went to Noosa.

Noosa was BEAUTIFUL!!  (as always) and we went for a little stroll.

Things were going great!

Here’s the promised picture of her wencha** – hahaha! (at least I amuse myself!!)

UNTIL we discovered this:

THE BOILING POT!!!

(please note that this is an aerial shot – you can see THE ENTIRE BOILING POT from the path we were walking on – and you can see EXACTLY who is IN the Boiling Pot from the path to the Beach or to the car.  This little bit of information will come handy to all of you Sherlock Sleuths out there in a bit.)

Immediately upon spying this dangerous fun wenchface started flappin’ her gums.  ”wah wah wah wah, blah blah blah blah, wah wah idiotic, blah blah stupid, wah dangerous wah.”  And the Random Stranger from LA was like, “I want to go check it out.  You girls can go to the beach and I’ll meet you there.”

Ummm. NO.

I looked at my stranger and smiled big.  ”I’m going with you.  That looks like fun.”   And that’s when wenchface made a bunch of wench noises like “ugh” and SCOFF and she started being all huffy and puffy and I wondered if the big bad wolf would do me a favor and blow her down.  My stranger and I wasted our breath trying to assure her it was all good – WE EVEN INVITED HER TO COME WITH US but she refused saying, “I left my cell phone in the car.  I’m going to go make a call while you go down there and I’ll meet you at the beach in a bit.”  Whatever…

And off we went!!  YAY!!!  I was about to get a lil dangerously fun alone time with my stranger and I was ALL SMILES!!!  (hee hee LUV it!)

Here’s a less aerial view of the Boiling Pot – That’s the Random Stranger from LA waiting for the next wave before he jumps in…

And I just looked at how long this post is … and have decided to break it up into two in order to give your eyes a rest … in the next post I’ll show you a lil video of how fierce the waves were in the boiling pot – show you how cut up my stranger got (partially my fault – sad sigh) and tell you about the wenchface free beach – which would have been GREAT but that particular beach was SUPPOSED to have a wenchface.
