epicness is the only way to explain how awesome the last 4 days were. i feel as if i’ve been on holiday for a month or two, i’m so totaly refreshed and yet so utterly tired. so what did we get up to? and who was it with?
well obviously my flat mates except grg and sasha since they were allready up north, (but we meet up at bdo of course and grg was with us on the way back and so was mel) matt, nick and erin (from work) and lucy and selina was wiuth us on the way up.
- savemart: first stop was the big clothing warehouse in plamy, the girls had this plan to play mini golf in cocktail dresses and not wanting to miss out we also all bought dresses, i got a nice little red number, was a little tight around the shoulders but i thought i could lose a few pounds befor the game. also we found the grestest hats ever and there where 3 of them, red monkey costume hats 
also also me and luce got big epic black leather boots whcih were reall comfortable. which came in very handy latter on.
- mini golf: we strolled in paid casually asked where the bath room was, got changed and came back in our glorious dresses, to which the lady was somewhat takken aback and found very funny. the game is self was pretty cool had moving parts and stuff but i didn’t win so i wont talk about much, but we were a great specticle and everyone in there cars stopped and had a good look, including one little boy that hurled abuse at us, poor little fella. naturally i looked fabulus as did nick his dress reall accentuated his muscles.
- chinesse fire drills: we had two cars and at every red light we did chinesse fire drills ebtween them whichwas cool cause it kept everyone excited and made for differing conversation and music.
- bully point and picnic: i’ve never been one to jump off high stuff into water, it allways kind of freaked me out a little, but we stopped at bully point to jump into lake taupo and it wasn’t really high but was still kind of scary which i was cool as i could feel the fear and mould it and get past it. i can see how it’d be really usefull to get alot more comfortable being scared so you can think clearly and get past it, i’ve often heard fear described as the first test on any path. but yea it was really fun and awesome the water was reall warm. adam did some epic big jumps where he had to jump out past another rock before landing in the water, i decieded that it was probally a bit dangerour and i don’t enjoy doing dangerous things, tho it was probally completly fine. after our refreshing swim we had a lovely picnic of bread hummus pasta on the lake side.
- floor sleeping: ariving somewere in auckland at nicks sisters place, with 3 foam matresses between 7 of us i choose a large area of carpet to fall asleep completly starfished taking up as much room as possible.
- bdo: i had a really really great time, there were great bands and great suprises and some great dancin. i’ll do a better break down of events in the next post as it deserves more than a small part of this one. but yea the boots were really usefull.
- more floor sleeping: holy crap was i sore, but that crapet was the best sleep i’v had in ages for some reason despite waking up and rolling over consistantly i awoke feeling really refreshed and ready to take on the day, which started with a pillow fight except we didn’t have any pillows only arms and fists.
- taupo, full: we left on the pretence of finding accomodation in taupo for the night. however the a1gp thingy was going on that weekend in taupo so it happened to be completly full, however i had a plan.
- awesome tent: the plan consisted of two red toyota corrolas which we happened to have, a large tarpolen, some ducktape, and a little bit of alcohol. so we set off to the warehouse to aquire the materials despite sceptism from party members about a validility of followingone of my ideas. unfortunatly apon finding the warehouse we found it closed and all ouir hearts sank and then on leaving the carpark we spotted a tarpolen on the ground, dinz emidiatly ran striaght at it and set about liberating it from its current captivity, sadly some surgery was eventually needy to fully set it free. and we set off to jame’s secret beach front camping spot where we backed up the two cars back to back opened the boots so they where slightly overlapped and secured the tarp over sides of the opened boot doors creating a large room in which we could all fit in getting drunk with our cob of corn… later we realise that it was actually warm outside and that the moon was setting over the lake. the music was cranked up and we formed a new mosh pit around the front of the car warming our selves to trhe point of needing a refreshing swim and then needing an intense mosh. this was epicly awesome and spwaned the name the big day after. and was a main cause in our necks getting intensly sore as it wasn’t actually possible to hardcore head bang in the bdo. sleeping sucked, despite the numbing effect of the alcohol and the tiredness the back of the car was cramped and hard and i can never sleep on my side anyway. totally should have slept on th beach.
- hot springs, we spent ages in the hotspringsthe next morning which was great, we had a compitition to see who could stay in the hot pool with shoulder underwater the longest, adam won then grg then me, was very hot and head intesnse head rush and headache afterwards.
- tired driving: driving sucked the hot springs made us all really tired, i made james drive for about an hour even tho he had a head ache cause i needed to close my eyes, but 3 bottles of v later we made it back. man it feltgood driving into wellington again,
- bbq and home: had a little bbq at luces while we organise all our stuff again before heading home and putting our sweat dreanched clothes that stank out the whole car in the wash. then we had a cup of tea which was the best thing and we all lived happily ever after.
the end (except the next post about the bdo)
*gripes* : little things that made me angry or frustrated at the time. my psychiatrist said i should be more open about things that make me angry and i think it probally a good thing to put them out in the open even tho now i see them as silly and trivial and see it as more of a personal flaw that i let such things get to me and make me angry.
- music apreciation, be polite please. if someone puts on some music that you don’t like don’t tell them that its shit to their face and equally don’t make some snide remark trying to acert ur superiority of taste. have some respect and etiquette and be polite,
- masculinity superiority stuff, you know everyones allways try to do things faster better or harder than each otherand usually i really enjoy this as itsjust fun competitiveness. but sometimes its really not cool. espesscially when guys don’t realise that thats the reason they’r doing things, they think they have a rational reason.
- please don’t ask me to speed again, i’ll dive at a speed i’m comfortable with. its not rational at all its simple derived from the above point.
- oh and that reall anoying thing that girls seem to take delight in doing: when your in the hot spring (usually its not hot springs but the same applies) and everyones nearly ready to go and they get out and with their towels on come and ask if we’r ready to leave. and because guys are stupid we allways get out and get ready to leave, only to realise that they are in the shower shampooing there hair *sigh* and for some reason they do not think its rude to make everyone else wait for 30 mins while they are doing this. do they think that by thus tarting themselves up they are doing us some kind of public service? for which we will take delight in waiting for while we are in server pain from hunger (are they thus so insercure about their natural state to belive that we would take pain from seeing them thus equal to the inconvenience they cause.). this i can hardly belive so thus i must conclude that either they are ignorant or that they take pleasure in making everyone wait for them as it makes them feel somehow superior and important to have the common rabble wait for them in ernest. i mean were at a place for 2:30 hours and 20% of that time was spent waiting to two members of the party, i mean its hardly and efficient or fair system
so yea these are all flaws in my own person for i should not let them effect me thus. …
