so i leave chch super early tomorrow.

and i''m sad.

but its slightly anti-climatic.

i had a good time and all; it wasn't life changing. i had a job... i made a little money. i met cool people. i even had a guy ask me to "sleep over" (i didn't). and i'd come back. but it wasn't like "wow, i did this in chch" or "wow, i had the most amazing time." it wasn't as exciting as sky-diving, or as monumental as finishing a marathon. but it was nice.

i really would happily return... not to teh same job (i learned my waitressing lesson) but i could come back here and live or something...

it just had a good feel... you know? you could go for a run (or kickfit) and i would be glad that i was living where i was... i could walk down the street and i was happy that people asked me directions about where to go...

i was relaxed and comfortable here, which is more than i can say for a lot of places i have lived.

so, i'll board the silly green bus tomorrow and i'll remember the times that i had, and hopefully i'll have more times again here soon.

a couple cool projects that i'm not creative enough to come up with...

this guy took a bet for 100 pounds that he would hitchhike around ireland with a fridge...

tony hawkes

this guy sold everythign in his house including canned ham for $1 then travelled around to see where it went.

a guy from portland (the top city for me to live in when i return to the states) wears a name tag ALL the time in an effort to see if people are more friendly.

hello, my name is scott

most distressing part about new zealand 13/2

ok, so really, if this is it, then i'm not so bad off... but i was thinking about what to give the eccersalls for letting me stay with them for so long, and its really hard--i mean, i've been here almost 2 months... they feed me, let me spend ages on their internet, etc. so i want it to be good. real good.

so, sophie, thier youngest is 16ish... she really wants me to get her dance shoes from the states (casue they are cheaper, etc.. she is giving me the moeny for them) so i figured, since my mom is goign to send them, i might as well send her something cool from the us. what can't you get over here? well... america has come in many forms, mickey d's, kfc, etc.... but there are certain things lacking... cinnamon toast crunch cereal one major thing i miss... sillly though... so i figured, abercrombie. its hip for that age group (using 'hip' is not, but whatev, its 1am) so i started checking out the major websites.. abercrombie, gap, american eagle, jcrew... adn man. i haven't bought a piece of clothing since july or something, and that was REI. i crave their overpriced clothes. a lot. i am drooling over the computer keyboard. its bad. i never thought that i would desire crap like 'shetland v.neck' on sale for 19.99. i have to work 4 hours for that crap. blast. and its summer. i don't need it... but american commercialization... it has reached me through the treacherous portals of the internet.

i'm still kind of trying to get used to this whole weblog thing... am i hoping that people read it? do my desires for attention and other voyeristic qualities stretch to the fact that i wnat to write all that is occuring in my life online? or do i figure that i'm the only one that will actually check on this puppy later, and i can include my thoughts and feeling on, for lack of a better word, 'stuff'...

cause, right now, the stuff is actually rather interesting, but in my confused, over thinking, lived with a psych major for TOO long mind, this might just be my opion... to others, who have more 'stuff', i'm probably just being silly... and plus, if my mom reads this, she might question my antics down under.

so, to 'stuff' or not... hmmm....

blah.... its super hot as hell here... i'm sweltering.

worked for a bit today, had a little wine tasting, now i'm melting at my computer.

pretty exciting, eh?

i have to detail this up a bit, but i don't really have anythign to add. i'm pretty boring... always ahve been, and barring anything actually happening to me in the future, i probably will be for a while.

alas. such is life.
