my parent's computer has a parental block on viewing friend's pages. Anne, if you read this, I'll be in Charleston as of 4PM, and I will have my mother's cell phone: 864-414-9452. You should come to the beach house!

I board a bus tomorrow in Hastings. This will transport me to Auckland. From here I will spend a night in the airport, and awake to board a looooong flight to Tahiti and then to LA. I will then check into the country I am from and make my way East to ATL. From here we will hop into my parents vehicle and travel on four wheels on some smooth ( Read more... )

In the cool autumn sunshine filled air, a big tow truck look a like vehicle pulled into Tauroa. I was feeding some feijoas to a horse in quarentine (sp?) when I heard the first shot fired. I turned around and watched the man from the truck with his rifle pointed at the other alive steer as he made some mooing sounds and took aim. The second shot ( Read more... )

i'm on hold for the 5th minute with the Inland revenue Department here in NZ, and I swear I have never in my life heard worse country music. New Zealand and Country music DO NOT go well together. A minuite and a half into the first song I was so tortunously forced to listen to, lead me to believe that it was a woman singning about her love for ( Read more... )

i just completed my forms to mail off today. i am really really nervous- maybe even a little scared. i don't want to have to go to a doctor. I just want to be healthy and clear it up myself.

the day before valentine's day i took my shirt off while walking towards the cold water in the pond, and my earring went flying out of sight and into hiding amonst the gravel below. I never took them out because Ian bought them for me, and I somehow told myself that when I lost one that it would all be over. We would be done. I know it is silly, ( Read more... )

i love coming to this internet cafe because they play music I love, music for people who love music, music I could talk about to those back home who love music.Today is Whatangi Day, aka New Zealand day. I don't feel festive at all. In fact, all I can think about it running as fast as I can over the pacific Ocean back to somewhere that will allow ( Read more... )

The best part about being sad or mad is that it eventually goes away and then you can be happy again. Sometimes I start to worry about something and then I end up worring about everything else. Ian and I are currently working for this contractor and he is a scumbag in all capital letters! We are also currently engaging him in what Ian likes to call ( Read more... )
