My Dad had graciously given me the day off on Friday and possibly Monday so that I could drive to Sydney to attend the Supanova Convention. So all week leading up to the Con I worked, trying to make up for time I was taking away from work to see Jared.

Thursday I worked until 4pm and then was allowed to leave early which was a good thing because I had to stop by Coles Supermarket to pick up some food for the trip. I got some rolls and some meat and some salad and some chips and some chocolate to munch on the way and then headed to my mums. It was already getting dark and I still hadn’t cleaned out the trunk of my car … or the backseat. I pretty much live out of my car half the time so believe me when I say it needed to be cleaned out. Normal people would have done that before the night before the trip lol

After arriving at my mums I got my Nan to give me a few garbage bags and I filled two of them with clothes and empty bottles and old childhood soft toys that my Mum had nagged me to take home with me and then never left the trunk of my car. I cleared it all out while in the dark and the rain. I almost felt like Bobby and Sam must have felt like in my current fic, without the whole Vampires holding Dean thing. It was freezing but I accomplished that task. My car was fully ready for luggage and whatever else it needed to carry … including us.

The making of the rolls was more of a hassle. One wouldn’t think it was so hard to make some meat and salad rolls but it is quite difficult when your younger brother (who is actually 21 but still a child ) is busy bowling a miniature tennis ball at you down the length of the kitchen. For some reason the kid was in a extremely annoying mood, even more so than usual and it just happened to be while I was trying to concentrate on having everything ready for our big road trip. I ended up slapping him with some lettuce leaves only for him to grab them and put them down my top … little shit (well I should say big coz he towers over me lol)

Food prepared and packaged it was then time to check that I had everything ready to wear. Picking out an outfit for my picture with Jared might sound lame but it turned out to be a very important activity as I was having trouble deciding. I finally decided what I would wear for Saturday’s photo session and then went on to figure out what I would wear to his question and answer panel lol I turn out to be more of a girl than I thought I was sometimes. I guess it’s the fan girl in me coming out lol

That done my mother and I spent the rest of the night downloading and burning music for the trip, Supernaturally related of course hehe.

Caroline (carikube) called me during all this to negotiate my original plan of a 4am start. Shelley (ephiny63) my friend and a massive Sam!Girl was oming with us but was staying at Caroline’s for the night and I had to agree with them that I wasn’t looking forward to having to get up that early either so we all agreed on 5am.

I eventually got to sleep at 12am.

Supanova – Day 1. Friday

After a 12am bedtime I really wasn’t happy when my alarm went off at 3.30am. A necessary evil for this trip but it didn’t mean that I was happy about it. I almost fell back asleep but thanks to my Nan, she came out and made sure I stayed awake. I had a shower straight away to wake myself up and then checked my email because I would be email-less for the whole weekend and that alone will probably kill me lol.

Just before we were ready to leave I realised that I couldn’t find my shoes. I knew I had taken them off in the living room the night before but for the life of me I couldn’t find them at all. I was like "why now?" Eventually I found them under my Nan’s jacket that had fallen to the floor covering them.

So off we were in the car with our clothes, food and music. First stop was Caroline’s to pick up Shelley. It was still dark and freezing and Shelley was still in the shower when we got there so we sat down talking to Caroline while she looked for the coffee she had promised Shelly that she had. She found some that wasn’t totally outdated and we all sat around talking for a bit before we hit the road.

Caroline is a major Sammy fan too and I wish that she had of been able to join us but she is planning her new American trip to visit with Emily (A-Black-winged-bird) so Shelley and I will try and get her a photo signed, but it’s a surprise hehe

We started the road trip off with "Back in Black" which I think was very fitting considering why we were on this road trip and who we were going to see. Filling up and getting everyone drinks we were finally really off. "Carry On My Wayward Son" was next on the list and it felt good to be on the road. I have driven up the Hume Highway a lot since I have gotten my license and it’s always been during the day so driving up it in the pitch black of early morning was an experience.

Soon enough we realised that the CD’s we burnt our music onto were crappy. They were my brother Matt’s and I will have to make point of telling him when I get back how crappy his discs are. We mostly heard 3 ¼’s of the songs we burnt because that’s all his CD’s would play. I proved that it wasn’t my CD player by playing my proper Matchbox Twenty Album and it had no problems.

Soon enough we hit light and had made really good progress, probably because I have a bit of a lead foot and once I’m on a highway I sort of just fly lol. We stopped at a McDonald’s at a rest stop so that Mum could have a cigarette and so Shelley could get a coffee. Turns out my rolls weren’t half bad even though Matt had tried his hardest to distract me with his mini tennis ball.

After stretching our legs we got back on the road and I continued in the roll of driver. We talked sporadically in between songs about Supernatural and general stuff. We had a discussion about the Winchesters height and we found it amusing that on "our" road trip we had a Dean!Girl (ME), John!Girl (MUM) and a Sam!Girl (SHELLE) and that just like the order of tallest to shortest in the Winchester clan goes Sam, John and Dean? We were in the same order. Shelle, then Mum and then me being the shortest.

We stopped off at yet another McDonalds a few hours out of Sydney because by this point we had been driving for 8 hours … well actually I had been doing the 8 hours of driving. So we at some McDonalds and took some much needed relief from being stuck in the car all day.

Back on the road I was behind the wheel again with my mother bitching that I was a stubborn bitch for not letting anyone take over the driving. I was getting tired but not the type of tired that I couldn’t drive. At this point I was damn determined to finish this trip by myself. Ten hours later we arrived in Sydney and our trouble began.

We found our way to the Dome and Shelley rang her friend, the one that will be working with Jared while he is here and she told us that there was no use turning up till 6 so we decided to go and check into the hotel we had booked. We found the road, found all the numbers except for the street number of the hotel. We called the hotel (after having to call them at least 4 times during the week to fix their mistakes) they couldn’t tell us how to get there. They work at the freaking place and couldn’t tell us. I went for a walk around the block to see if I was missing something and then went into one of the stores near by. Apparently we were in the wrong end of the road which put us in the wrong suburb. Sooo, we headed towards where we now new the hotel was and eventually found it ourselves. I went in to check us in and find out that I had to sign something like a rental agreement form and pay bond which they just used the money that they were supposed to reimburse me (long story) but what hotel makes you do that? That was just crappy and we don’t even have our own bathroom *sigh* that sucks but oh well, we will live.

So then it was time to head to the Dome and check out where we were supposed to be going and to pick up our tickets. We found a car park right out side the train station and headed over to the ANZ stadium which we thought was the Dome. We then got told where the Dome was by some staff at the ANZ Stadium and walked across the road to it. Turns out the place was literally around the corner maybe less than two minutes from where we had parked but we had walked right around it instead lol

To top off our "Good luck" The staff at the con had three people working on one person’s entry at a time. It took THREE people to work out one persons tickets and I started to get a bad feeling because they so looked like they didn’t know what they were doing. Gets to our turn (I had bought and paid for our three tickets and had to pick them up from the venue.) I give them my printed out email receipt and they have issue with it saying it doesn’t prove I bought three tickets. By this point I had so had it and I wasn’t going to allow this to happen. I told them I had paid for three! My voice indicating that I wasn’t walking away without three. Eventually the three women handed my receipt to one of the guys who went and saw another guy who eventually said it was fine! So now we are all sporting yellow wrist bands. But we have our tickets and I am happy that we have that at least.

We met up with Shelle’s friend Carol and then decided to go out and get something to eat before coming back to watch the Australian Premier of Stargate: Continuum. We ended up at McDonalds …. AGAIN lol We will all be so sick of Macca’s by the end of this trip lol By the time we got back to the Dome we had a look inside the room that they were holding the new Stargate movie and saw that even with time to spare it was packed so Mum and I decided to head back to the Motel. Shelle is spending the night with Carol.

So we get back to the Hotel and I get a text message from Shelle saying that we have to be on the ball, quick with getting things done tomorrow because Jared’s VIP’s and Super Hero fan passes are all booked up and we don’t wanna miss out on a photo with him.

And I am sitting here right now listening the band play LOUDLY from downstairs. I forgot that we were staying above a hotel and it is Friday night. It’s very loud here right now but the band is at least decent so it’s not as bad as it could be. Oh and we have a window like Roger Miller’s window in "Nightmare" hehe

I hope we have a good day tomorrow. I am still processing that Jared arrived here tonight and is just around the corner from me in his hotel … OMG! That in itself is surreal for me.

I think I woke up and was ready by at 6.30pm. We knew we wanted to be ready as early as possible with Shelle’s warning. So 7.30am and I drove over to the dome and dropped mum off to meet Shelle (she stayed with her friend Carol) at the station while I drove over to the stadium next door and parked my car in the multi-level car park there. From there it is only a 5 minute walk from the dome. Shelle and Mum were waiting for me and they told us to line up we got FIRST place in line :D. We were going into this determined to get what we wanted out of it lol.

We had to stand around for what seemed like forever but while we were there Shell was telling mum and I about what she heard from her friends about Jared’s arrival in Australia! It was so good to have the inside goss. Made the experience even better to know what was going on with Jared behind the scenes.

Apparently Jared’s plane was diverted to Cairns and more things went wrong for him which I wont go into right now but I found it amusing that Mum had been bitching about all of our bad luck and that Jared was probably relaxing in his hotel room, with no trouble and the poor boy had worse trouble than what we had lol.

When the doors finally opened I saw how smart it was for us to make sure we got there early and how important it was for us to make sure we got first in line. That first day, for a start, I heard that the line went right around the outside of the dome and I would believe that because the line outside was getting scary long. Upon entrance we were given showbags which held most Anime crap but did have a bottle of shaving cream. Why? I don’t know but I thought it was cool because that was what Dean had given Sam for Christmas in the Christmas episode.

 Shelle had been allowed behind the scenes the night before so we knew exactly where we needed to be in order to get photo tokens and stuff. We got there with hardly anyone there but people were crowding fast. Autograph’s for Jared cost $40 each and unlike the Chris Judge Con where you had to pay for the photo separately. I picked up one for me, mum, Lisa(angelustatt) (coz my poor friend was missing out now that Jared cancelling in Perth) and for Evelyne(alwaysateen) I also bought mum and I photo tokens to get our portraits done later. So while Michelle went to the toilet, mum and I kept our place in the line for Jared’s signature even though we still had a little while to wait. Turns out we were lucky enough to get right behind the VIP’s and SupaHero fans again. Which means after the "special people" we were first in line. We were told by staff that if a VIP or someone with a red wrist band came that they were allowed to get ahead of us and as frustrating as that was it wasn’t too bad I guess.

All this time it still almost didn’t feel all that real. I mean yeah I had just driven 10 hours to Sydney to meet Jared Padalecki but I hadn’t actually seen the man yet so it was still all just talk. I mean these guys never do this in Australia. I have seen so many cons on Youtube and so many of my friends have met them now so it was weird to think that it was actually happening here. And all this time I’m thinking yeah this is exciting but it’s not like its Jensen. I can handle meeting Jared and not go totally spastic. That all changed when we heard cheering and I turned around to look at the autograph tables and Jared came walking out. He was smiling and waving and looked genuinely happy and I was like OMG this is actually real. Jared Padalecki is standing maybe less than ten feet away from me. Now without sounding totally crazed? I spend so much time (work and spending time with friends aside) watching these boys, thinking about these boys, writing these boys and making videos about these boys and I cant really explain what it was like to actually be not only in the same country, not only in the same state, not only in the same room but standing right across from him. It was just really surreal and all I think was OMG OMG lol

Okay before I rave more about the beautiful person that is Jared I will say that Nichelle Nichols from the Original Star Trek was there at the table, as well as someone from Battlestar Galatica and Jewel Staite from Firefly and Stargate Atlantis. We found out that Carol (Shelle’s friend) had been taken off being Jared’s PA because the boss’s daughter or neice or something like that had wanted the job and coz she was more Jared’s age they decided it might be better for him. Carol was pissed and I personally don’t see the point of changing it but anyways Carol ended up being PA to Nichelle.

Back to Jared … Getting closer and closer to him as the line moved was exciting and as you do in these situations you keep snapping photos and more photos and then I thought to call Lisa. I seriously felt wrong doing this without her and I wanted to give her as much of the experience as possible and I just needed to talk to her since Jared was getting closer and closer and he was laughing and joking with people and smiling and just gorgeous. Lisa squealed in my ear and I wasn’t totally understanding of why until she told me later that she had hear Jared laughing over the phone lol.

My mother turned into a bigger fan girl than me. I mean I have always been a little ‘who cares’ when it comes to Sam but I have had a deeper appreciation for him over the last couple of years but my mother is worse than me with Sam but he made an impression on her. She got Lisa’s photo signed for me as well as her own. Shelle was before me and then it was my shot and I was literally standing there with just a table between me and Jared, between me and Sam Winchester and how weird is that. He was staring off in the distance when I got there and I was quiet taking the opportunity of his distraction to take him in. As I have just been saying I haven’t exactly ever been a Sam lover but I’ve always known he was good looking but Jensen’s more my type of guy (AND STILL IS!!!! Dean will always be my boy lol) but I have to say that in person Jared is gorgeous. He has a really sweet face, a really likable face and he had STUBBLE!! Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I have a huge love for stubble lol and it was a good look on Jared!!

So anyways he turns back to me and smiles and I melt. His eyes are beautiful, something hasn’t really appreciated enough before (Jensen has a habit of not letting me notice anyone else’s eyes: P) He says hi and I introduce myself as Tara and he gives me a big "Hey Tara" and leans forward, smile still plastered to his face. His voice was so Sam, so Jared, so familiar because between dvd’s and youtube I at least hear it once a day it was so cool, so surreal. I thanked him for coming out at the exact same time he thanked me for coming which earned me an amused smile. I got him to sign my and Evelyne’s photo’s and then thanked him again. It amazes me that no matter how much you prepare yourself you still don’t say what you would like to but it doesn’t matter because the experience was just awesome. I walked out of the line and back towards Shelle and Mum and they both have the biggest grins on their faces and to my utter surprise my mum was more excited than I have seen her … well in a very, very long time if ever and it was over Jared. Not that she doesn’t like the guy at all but seeing her like that over Jared was funny and I understood because it was the best. When you meet these people, celebs that you really love and invest so much time in, you don’t want to be disappointed if you get to meet them and I think even just those 20 to 30 seconds of photo signing exceeded any expectations I had. All I know is that if this is the way she acts with Jared then I might be actually scared if she ever got the chance to meet Jeffrey Dean Morgan. God, how will I be if I ever get the chance to meet Jensen? Lol

After we finished with the autographs we walked away with a fan that had been talking to in the autograph line all 4 of us rambling and laughing and rambling some more about the coolness of the whole experience. We headed straight for the area where the photo’s would be taken and stood there waiting. It was still a couple of hours before Jared was due to do photo’s but we wanted to make sure that we got there first in line. We put our bags on the floor next to the wall of the room and people joined us slowly against the wall. We kept one person at our spot at all times while the others could walk around and stuff. Eventually the staff made two lines. Our line was for normal people and we were first in line and the second line was for VIP’s and Supahero pass’s and both lines kept growing and growing and growing …

We were standing there next to the volunteer girls and they were looking at the lines and were looking concerned worried that not all of the "normal people" would be able to get done. Mum and I looked at them like don’t say that because by that point we had been standing there waiting for like an hour and half lol. They laughed and said to us not to worry they would make sure that we did because he had been there for a ridiculous amount of time to miss out lol That made us feel better.

Shelle came back to us with this huge big smile on her face and she told us that she had been feeling a little sick and her friends had let her sit behind the scenes to have a drink and something to eat and Jared had been there doing TV interviews and they had lifted up his shirt to fix the microphone to him and she got to see his stomach lol I thought she had been gone long lol.

Long, long time after that Jared arrived at the photo booth for photo’s. The "Special people" started filing in and they were trying to do it fast so that no-one would miss out. I could see Jared but he was only on the other side of the thin wall and the guard was right next to me and I could see people coming out smiling back into the room and stuff and at one point his guard told Jared that he needed to move things along a bit lol Apparently he couldn’t stop chatting and joking around with people which I think is great. He makes it really sorta personal if you know what I mean. He makes the short moments you have with him special so you can take that with you and I think (well to me anyways) that you can tell that he really enjoys mingling with the fans and you have to love the boy for that. They managed to get all the first line through pretty fast even with Jared still talking with people and then it was our turn. Shelle went first and she had already organised with the photographer to have the photo taken on Jared’s opposite side because she has an injured shoulder. Jared joked with her that his right side wasn’t good enough for her until she explained why to which he then gave her advice on what to take for it after the photo was done … How cute hehe Then I let mum go ahead of me and he apologised to her for being so tall, to which she naturally replied that she liked tall guys lol. He then replied with one big cheeky smile that well then that’s good coz "he’s tall" … again, how cute!!!!

All I could do was smile when I walked in there and he held his arm our becking me closer. I said hi and he reciprocated back with that gorgeous big dimpled smile of his, a "hi" of his own and then pulled me close and OMG that boy is STRONG! It’s like a shock to the system when you can feel his body pulled tight to yours and his stubbled chin resting on your head hehe I wrapped my arm around the back of him and rested my hand on his side and I could just feel the hard toned muscled there … wow. It felt like he was leaning right into me and because of his height, right over me lol. He pulled back and looked down at me and asked me if I wanted a stool because he was so tall lol. I shook my head and probably looked star struck or something but told him that I was quite fine with the way things were lol Hey, who was I to complain when I felt tucked into his body? No I was quite happy where I was and just trying to accept the wow-ness of the moment, standing with my arm around Jared Padalecki. So he got close again and the photo was taken and I rubbed his side as I said thank you, he smiled, I smiled and walked out and almost died coz wow that was so good. The boy is turning me into mush, a typical fan girl and I really didn’t think it would happen like that. As I said, way exceeded my expectations. He just really goes out of his way to give the fans that moment and I can appreciate him for that because we put a lot of time, effort and money on him and the show.

Mum told me her story and Shelle told me hers and then we had to go outside and get some fresh air. It was hard to walk away from that booth knowing that he was just there!!! Lol but we did. Mum stayed having a cigarette outside the front and Shelle and I went across the road to get some drinks and something to eat and we brought it back to mum where we gushed some more about Jared and the boys … and Jeffrey of course. Shelle went back inside to see if she could find Carol while mum and I continued to have supernatural related conversation and the girls who are running the Aussie Supernatural convention campaign found us and we talked to them for a bit. It was amusing because Mum, Shelle and I had just been talking about them inside and then there they were. I know I have asked a lot of my friends to sign that petition but if anyone wants to help us poor aussies get a full on strictly supernatural convention please click on the ink below and sign the petition. We need all the help we can get!

When I got back inside I went to the toilet and Shelle called my mobile telling me she was at the photo booth getting our photos so I told her that I would meet her there. I walked past the autograph tables and Jared was back at work signing, smiling, laughing, talking and I walked past slowly, getting some more looks at him lol and then headed over to where they were handing out people’s photo’s. That was a little chaotic but we eventually got ours and wow. Having the photo was what I really wanted to walk away with because if this experience went so fast that I didn’t remember much lol I wanted to photo to remind me that YES it actually happened.

Shelle told us that Carol told her that Nichelle Nichols was annoyed and giving them grief because Jared was getting all the attention. She actually had them move her autograph table to around the corner so she wasn’t with the other celebrities. It’s pathetic. I love Star Trek. I don’t mind the original I guess but what the hell has that woman done since playing Uhura? And OMG how self centered but I guess you have the good celeb’s and the bad ones lol but I just found that sad.

We decided to leave for our hotel after that and Shelle waited around to do something for Carol and she called me when I was driving back to say that she was still there when Jared had left and he had told everyone there that they are definitely doing season 4 (obviously) hopefully season 5 and then after that he is keeping his fingers crossed because there has been talks of giving them a movie. OMG could imagine them boys on the big screen??????? Jensen’s big green eyes on that hug screen. *dies right now* I’m crossing my fingers too because as much as I understanding Kripke’s reasons for wanting to end it after 5 years? It still kills me to think of no more Winchesters in the world, no more episodes. A movie makes me feel better hehe.

Saturday night we had dinner downstairs at the hotel and a drink but with Rugby (YUCK) pretty much consuming all visual and sound down there we headed upstairs and stared at our photos some more and spoke to Lisa on the phone some more lol. I have been calling her all day and I know my phone bill will be huge this month but I needed to talk to her after this experiences lol. She’s practically one of my best friends and to not be able to experience this with her sucks but the phone was the next best thing I guess.

I wrote down my thoughts and then went to bed because the next day we weren’t chancing anything either. We were getting there early!!! Saturday was perfect. We did everything we had set out and Jared had made our day!! Just by simply being who he is!

Okay, I can tell you right now that even though I’d had a great time with Jared the day before I really didn’t want to wake up. The hotel wasn’t great but the beds were awesome and I was very comfortable and warm and I’m sure ignored my phone alarm a number of times before Mum told me to get my arse up lol

We packed up all of our stuff and left the hotel, packing our bags in the trunk and then just like the day before I dropped Mum off at the Dome and I went and parked the car.

When I arrived at the Dome, people were all hanging around and Shelle hadn’t showed up yet. She called me not long after to say he would be an hour still. It was a little confusing on where we were supposed to line up but when all the people there for Selma Blair were taken around the corner it got a little clear and we ended up not first but close enough so we were pretty happy with ourselves.

Shelle told us that Jared had flown to Melbourne the night before for promotions with Channel 10 and I found it amusing that we had driven all the way to Sydney to see him and then he flies to Melbourne hehe Poor boy musta been tired.

Once inside we were glad that we had gotten signatures and photo’s the day before because the lines were already huge even as we walked around there. Knowing that most of the chairs on the floor in the Anime Theatre would be packed for Jared’s panel we claimed some seats on the step seats and once again always kept two of us there to mind them. Good thing we did because as we expected because it just kept filling up. A lot of people were there for the Anime stuff that we suffered through but a lot of people were claiming their Jared seats like us lol

While I was waiting for Jared’s panel to start I left Shelle watching our seats while I went and caught up with kissnchips and her friend that had flown in for the day. The poor girl’s were waiting in the lines for ages but they had fun J

When it came time for the panel they got the theatre organised and everyone seated and then Jared turned up at the side and we could see that he was still eating his lunch. They called him up on the stage and he sorta scoffed down the rest of it quickly before wiping his mouth down before running up on stage. I had a giggle because we all know what Jared is like about his food hehe.

Jared was great up stage. He’s so used to it by now he just settles in. Even though he must have been tired he still seemed excited and eager and happy and it was so exciting seeing this in person. I have watched these boys on stage at the conventions on youtube and It was a real trip actually being at one and watching him.

I called Lisa at the start of the Q&A and let her listen to the whole thing over the phone. It was the closest I could get to getting her there. She needed to experience this. I had heard the answers to a lot of the questions asked before but some of them were a little original and some he answered a little differently than he has before which was good too. It was sooo fun.

He was asked what his favourite line from the show was and he said it was "I lost my shoe." To which everyone totally agreed and then he even gave us the look, the pout that goes along with that line. He was so cute!! I found it funny because the night before Mum and I had watched "Bad Day At Black Rock" before we went to bed and that has to be one of my favourite Sammy moments hehe.

There were two stupid questions *sigh* but I know there’s always a few and for the most part it was pretty damn good. Jared practically pouted when he was told that there was no more time left and he was still talking into the microphone, thanking everyone, while people were filing out. SOOOO CUTE!! From there he went and posed for more photos with people and Mum, Shelle and I went outside again.

Once we got back inside we took around at the other stalls that we had basically ignored the whole time. There was one store that was selling Supernatural merchandise and Stargate stuff too! I was soooooo tempted but I decided against getting anything because all that stuff I can get on the Supernatural site and the stuff I wanted from Stargate I couldn’t quite afford. I was happy with my Jared stuff for the weekend.

I went back over to the photo booth to stare at Jared and watch him interacting with the fans. Again I will say he was just so good J and I am glad he is tall lol Mum went to wait for us outside coz she was tired and Shelle really wanted the Sam t-shirt they were selling (the same one Jensen was wearing at Chicago) but she didn’t have enough money left so I leant her the money.

So while she was off buying her top, I went and found kissnchips again and spoke to them for a bit and then offered to hold their bags while they had their turn at getting their photo with Jared. So I stood there watching again lol The girls got back to me pretty quickly and they said that Jared was supposed to have finished up like ten minutes before. So the poor guy was working overtime on the photos … just makes him more adorable. They got everyone in and then he stuck his head out of the doorway, waved, thanked us again and blew a few kisses. I showed the girls to the store selling Supernatural stuff and then bid them goodbye.

We left begrudgingly. It was hard leaving knowing Jared was still in the area but we did. We almost got lost getting out and back to the hotel because they had blocked off a lot of the roads for the bloody soccer. When we did get back we got our "Bond" back and It was Mum’s turn to drive.

We got lost on the way out. Like in the total opposite direction. We stopped at a service station and some guy was nice enough to point us in the right direction. The drive back was long and tiring and pretty much all in the dark. Mum drove most of the way but I took over the last hour and it felt so weird to be back. We dropped off Shelle at Caroline’s at something like 3.30am and then headed to my work to quickly scan our photos with Jared hehe. Crazy at that time in the morning but I didn’t want to wait lol

So by the time we got home it was probably 5am and we were kinda sad it was over, having gotten used to being in Jared’s presence for pretty much two days lol

This weekend has been THE BEST I have had in a very very long time. I spent a shit load of money, I am broke and owe my father money now but it was worth every single cent!!!! Jared’s personality was the best part about him and he has really given me a new appreciation for Jared himself and even Sammy. This does not however change the fact that I am and always will be a DEAN!GIRL but Jared won me over for the weekend that’s for sure. Now he just needs to bring Jensen back to Australia, preferably Melbourne because the only drag about this whole weekend was being in Sydney. If I never have to drive in that city again I will be happy lol I want that convention in Australia and I want all four J’s to be there. Jensen, Jared, Jeffrey and Jim heheheheh

Back to work tomorrow … *sigh* what a weekend!
