"Did superman just jump off the roof?"...."Yep, and you're next catwoman."

The one thing I swore I would never do was bungy jump. Well, shocker……I did it. And not only did I do it, but I did it backwards with staff that were intent on making me pee my pants. So all day I’m terrified. Like way past scared to a point I’ll forever refer to as “the bungies.” I was literally shaking. We went to Cairns so Dez could “push me off the roof.” But we didn’t go straight to the bungy place so I could get it over with….NOOOOO…..we got to work all day doing promos and shaking hands. I’m pretty sure I will always be remembered as the quiet, weirdish, shaky girl that worked for absolute backpackers. Anyway, as soon as anyone found out I was jumping, they would think of the most horrible stories to tell me. “Well there was this guy I used to know. Now he’s dead…” Awesome.

I finally get to the bungy place and climb to the top. (by the way, I am in dire need of a gym. I almost died, not from the jump, but because of the 9 flights of stairs I had to climb beforehand.) I get to the top and I’m waiting my turn when one of the workers’ phone rings. He answers it, looks at me, and says “The girl?...Yea I got this on lock.” I HATE Dez sometimes. It’s my turn to jump and I am informed that I don’t get to jump forwards like everyone else…nooooo…..he wants me to stand backwards with my heels off the edge leaning as far back as possible. So I do it……because it’s no use fighting….I’m falling of that think one way or another. After 4 “pretend” almost drops he let go. Um OH MY GOSH. Scariest thing ever. I think everyone at home may have heard me scream. But, I did survive……Finally, Australia-10 Anne-1

My reward for being such a good sport was sushi. Not just any sushi…….sushi train. This is without a doubt what I think heaven is like. There are hundreds of plates of sushi that go around on a mini luggage carousel and you just sit at your table and grab what you want when it comes by. Seriously, HEAVEN. Dez looks over about 30 silent minutes later and goes, “Dang, you ate as much as me.” I don’t know when they’re gonna learn that I can eat a ridiculous amount of food……a whole pizza, sure…..2 hamburgeres, definitely……5 plates of sushi, NO problem. When asked how I do it, I simply respond with…….”I get it from my mama…..”
