Life as a Hobartian...

Howdy all...Collette here ...aka Hobartian...aka Brighton Bogan...remember me? hm it's been a while!! News just in!! I got my brains back!! Yup check it out...no more trashy blonde regrowth...woohoo...sorry fellas;)
Okay what's good about Hobart?...
hmmm...




Thinking...





Thinking...




Oh I know!! I got to go back a day later than everyone else up north cause they have this thing called REGATTA DAY! ...
One slight problem...the Hobart YSA reps decided that the BEST way to spend a public holiday was to kidnap us all and hold us captive for...'8 hours on a boat'...
So the next question is...
What the HECK do you DO for '8 hours on a boat?'
Answer...
DRIVE IT...
Here I am... Captain Collette...with NO boating experience at all...I was a PRO!
"Swab the decks ye mangy land lovers" ...Lucky I'd practised my pirate accent at my birthday party...it came in handy!
and no I didn't just sit there and pose for the photo's I WAS actually driving...
Here's me plotting a course to get us safely home...
Adam...aka spud...aka picnic...aka random WA ysa we met at convention decided to join us in Tassie for a week...
We showed him the THREE all TIME favourite things to do as a YSA in Hobart...

No. 1...Drive up the mountain and tell frieky stories...


No. 2...Go to HOGSBREATH and order a Stake with DOUBLE curly fries and NO salad;)
No. 3...Attend a rip roaring boogie blasting dorky dance at the local stake centre...




Here is Adam and I doing the "shoop shoop" part of the "shoop shoop" song...you know the one..."if you wanna know if he loves you so..." etc.


Pres Menzie supplied bow ties for the guys to wear at the dance...unfortunately Pres Menzie has enough bow ties to wear a different one EVERY day of the year...and we have enough boys to...well ...we just don't...have enough....hm anyway....so the chicks got in on the action too...some pretty spiffy bow ties if you ask me!!


So...that's it... my life as a Hobartian thus far...stay tuned for the next EXCITING episode...
