2008 has benn going for a week now and I havent updated at all. What was I waiting for? The longer i left it the more I would have to say.
Well I saw 2007 out with lance, we watched 3 movies, ate 3 bowls of popcorn and had crazy making energy drinks that were stifled by a movie with insane logic. The new began with us preparing to leave for the ocean, on the way we picked up leonie after eating chicken kebabs and my phone charger was obtained from wahi beach, or rather bowentown. I always thought waihi beach sounded redundant but it is actually 11kms out of waihi. madness.
We arrived at Scotts batch after getting lost for a bit, i had forgotten the way. but there was noone there. So we headed to the beach to find scott who was in between the flags. or so he had texted leonie. I shouted his name mutliple names and wrote his name in the sand but still no scott. Oh well.
As we gave up leonie finally mentioned that scotts not there as he texted her from the batch. Somehow we had missed him and his parents on the way to the beach.
What really sucked about staying at scotts batch was that the sole purpose of going up there (to see and hang out with scott) was thwarted by his working 12 hours everyday. Instead we hung out at his batch without him, but with his family instead. Going to the opera where we were joined by Leonies flatmate Marni. Playing boardgames like cluedo where lance would lamely guess the correct thing in his first go, but then turn out to be holidng the room and so all it took was to find the right room, and during our second proper game i made the dounters make out with each other much to scotss mums horror/amusement.
The next day began with a walk to the island. Or a skip as i brought my skipping rope, we made it there and back without drowning. Lance got bit by a crab but not enough to bleed.
Afterwards leonie and marni desired to see the boat races so we watched them for a little and picked teams to win. But by the time they got back we couldnt tell who won anyway. The promis of foxy ladies was not delivered and while digging for them in the sand lance exclaimed 'damn it, im switching teams!' much to my delight. After accidentally spying several men sporting g-dos we decided to call it a morning and go get some lunch and dinner.
Afterward it was back to the beach where i brought my kite, but seeing at it was hightide there was too many people and my kite was out of control and trying to murder people. I was asked to move down the beach by a guy who i wasnt even effecting, while another guy was totally fine and he kept getting string in his face. It became moot when the strings got tangled and me and lance spent 50 mins untangling them. After that disaster we headed off to find leonie and marni who were meant to see our kite beacon which was a sound idea in thoery but failed in practice. We waited for scot to go on break and then swum in the ocean for a little. Me returning a third time to get leonie out, which was a struggle. Ad i wasnt sure it was even her. Then when i got to her she said she was leaving anyway. Bah.
we hung out with scott a little bit longer and then encountered his mum and sister tracey stuck at the hatch as his dad had left in the other car with the keys to their car in his pockets. So they had to put up with our shenanigans another night and sleeping arrangemenys remained the same. I was required to blow up an air mattress as there was no other way to do it, due to the vacuum having no reverse function. It took me 3 minutes im told. I couldnt tell, it was repetitive and my face was all tingly afterwards. Then i blew up another bed thing used in pools and made puns about catching my breath and wishing i had blown up the mattresses for the sake of that pun. There is a photo of me holding my breath for 15 minutes. Surely a world record.
Dinner came next and the man duties of barbecuing were left to me and lance. We see now why guys like to barbecue so much. Fire. All that was missing was a beer in our hands but we like to defy conventions!!
Dinner was followed by "scrabble". We we were beaten mercilessly by scotts mum and marni, even with a bonus 50 points of getting rid of letters first we were no where close. Stupid enquired. Also for the record nix is a word. wift is not however so ill let that one slide. But nix is.
Everyone went to bed while me and lance waited for scott to arrive with a creepy sitting in the dark with the light coming on thing. That failed due to being distracted by pow pow powing with my phone.
The following day we had to depart back to our abodes, lance needed to return his car back to his mum, i had work the next day and leonie had to continue her journey onwards.
Poor scott, we barely got to see him and then when we leave he gets his days off. No fair i say. Pehaps we should have waited an extra week, then natalie would have been able to come too. But thats the price you pay for wanting to surprise everyone natalie.
The rest of the week has been pretty average. I twisted my ankle on sunday, badly. Probably sprained. But i survive. It happeened when i dropped off a movie poster to a collegue as i had stolen the last one and i didnt even want it, so i gave it to her.upon leaving her place. katwist! if this is what i get for doing favours for people...
Now it is monday night, I have spent 5 hours on my feet at work, so my nerves have been deadened. Or im getting better. We'll see in the morning.
kizmitt out
