Day 30!! The end of a Moventure

Today I went into the city with my friends and saw harry potter for the second time. So... in order to make up for yesterdays little blunder and as a sentimental parting with this years movember I wore one of my singlets, one of my bracelets (I would have worn two but the other one broke!!), my mo hairpiece AND my mo necklace along with... you guessed it! A mo on my face AND my badge. I was motastic! And the looks I got... OH the looks! They were amazing. And everyone was so uncomfortable. I loved it. Ha!





So now this is the end of a crazy journey, one which i'll look into taking again in the future, perhaps going down a different path though... So until then, thank you for all the wonderful people who donated and for those who have followed me through this and supported the cause. Until next year! :)

Day 29

Today I spent the day at home, boring I know, but I was with a friend recording a song! Which was kind of cool, but also distracting. In fact, it was so distracting that I sort of... kind of... er... forgot to ah... wear a mo? I KNOW!! i'm sorry! But I know some guys have already shaved theirs off, they just waited til after the movember party and then it was gone! In fact, some didn't even last that long, one of my friends didn't even last like a week or so... so I think I haven't done too badly... :/

So I thought I would spend this blog going into a little more detail about the Movember Gala Parte. I realised I didn't really explain it in full, but rather gave a very brief overview. So we (being me and my cousin, aka my mo sista hehe) arrived at the venue around 8.30-9ish and it was already fairly rockin' – there were costumes of grandeur everywhere, from army cadets to mexicans, to buzz lightyears! In fact, there were a whole group of buzz lightyears – it was amazing! The event took place in a massive marquee tent down on Birrarung Marr, and outside beyond the tents were the toilets as well as a... wait for it... BUMPER CARS RINK!! thats right, bumper cars. Jealous? I bet. Me and my cousin, Vic, went on the bumper cars and unfortunately not everything came out as it went in, as we were stuck in reverse my hat was thrown off my head and then reversed into by the car about 5 times. However, it did straighten out back to near perfect form again by the end of the night. It was such an interesting night, as people were usually only there with a few friends, so the whole night was spent meeting people and discussing mo experiences and costume inspirations and such. There was of course an awards ceremony, only by that time everyone was so drunk that they really weren't all that impressed and to be honest, there were a few better costumes out there than the ones that were nominated, in my opinion. But oh! It was such a wonderful night, full of fun and laughter and friendly people. I definitely cannot wait until next years, this is a party not to be missed.

Anyway, I will surely make it up to you tomorrow, on my last day of mo-dom. It will be epic. I think.

Day 26, 27 & 28

Ok so i'm putting these 3 days together because it's easier! Friday during the day was pretty chill, I just went to university, and I wore these new bracelets I made! I love them, but I kept breaking them so they're a bit dead :( THEN, friday night we had a lovely thanksgiving dinner with Shelli, who is living with me at the moment, and her friend Katy and Katy's dad and my cousin Vic and her boyf, and my sister and her boyf and mum and dad! It was such a beautiful night, really wonderful company and an excellent feast :)



Then on Saturday I had work, and then the Movember Gala Parte!! It was AH. MAH. ZING!!! I had so much fun, and met so many wonderful people, drank way too much and did too many crazy things, and suffered today, Day 28 with a horrible hangover which I had to endure throughout work (which was only a 3 hour shift, mind you :P) and now i'm at home about to get ready to go out for Pho! So i'll leave you with photos of my Movember events and I'll get a photo of my current mo at the restaurant later tonight!:

Day 26

Today was a very chill out day, I had uni and I kind of rushed out of the house so once again I wore my mo hair clip (i'll have a new creation tomorrow I promise!), and I even lost it at one point, I thought I must have brushed it out of my hair, i'm not entirely sure what happened but I found it in the end so all was well! I also received another donation from one of my sisters workmates. At this point I think I should probably thank the people who have donated to me so far, so thank you:

Amanda Wilson,
Lizzy Wilson,
Steve Dolan,
Ali Curry and
Narelle Brewer

Your contributions mean the world to me and I know they're going to something positive thats working towards helping people who don't often get a look in! So now i'm going to finish up this blog with another plug of my mospace, in case this encourages you to donate: Click on this text to see my mospace!

Day 24

Today, i spent the day with a friend and we went out shopping, and because it was such a lovely day i decided to feature one of my delicious singlet tops as my mo today! I can't decide which of the singlets is my favourite, i love them all a lot, they're so cute! So i'm up to $152 in my mospace for donations which i'm very happy about, and i have procured a second ticket to the Movember Gala Parte, so now i just have to find myself a date! When i say i procured it, i mean one of my friends who is also doing movember gave me his second ticket (thanks Pete!!). I think i'm going to go as Charlie Chaplin! i'm very excited about this party :) :)

Day 23

Today was pretty chill... didn't do much but a lot of homework for my short course! I have so much to do... why do I procrastinate so much? My own laziness is coming to be the bane of my existence these days! Well, I had the best idea of writing a note in my mo today! I thought it was hilarious and had a good photo session with it :) I'm still not sure what i'll dress as for this movember party – chances are i'll get to the day and have nothing so i'll just go as something random! That sounds quite likely to be honest...

Day 20, 21 & 22

Back in Melbourne again after some serious family duty in SA. I didn't really whip my camera out much but I did get one shot of myself out the front of a building in the town we stayed in. I'm getting very excited about the Gala event this saturday night, it says we should come in a costume that expresses how our mo's make us feel... well i'm not really sure I guess mine just makes me feel a bit manly, so... should I go as a man? I guess... maybe I should as a drag queen with a 5 o'clock shadow! Ha! Or a circus woman – you know the amazing bearded lady? Thats a good one!! What do you think? I haven't yet reached the $200 threshold yet so I don't really have a partner... maybe i'll get there by friday! You never know! :) until tomorrow, when I share with you yet another motastic moventure :)
