So I'm down to the wire people! 36 hours till I leave the country, and boy do I have the jitters. There's just a few things I still need to do and one of them is getting addresses. Yeah I know what you're thinking "Silly Zoe/Cybille/Beth, we have the internet...duh". Well, I've been thinking that email is a little impersonal, there's not a lot of ( Read more... )

On March 23rd, Beth is getting the fuck out of Dodge! She's movin' on up....to the New Zealand side! I just bought my one way ticket over there this morning and I'm so excited. My boyfriend misses me and I miss him as well. I miss my tall handsome kiwi sooooooooooooo much *whimper* So I'll have about a month vacation while my paperwork for my visa ( Read more... )

Note to self....

Tattoos on the inside of your wrist hurt like a bitch!

Last weeks been quite a bit of fun but also a real killer on my credit card. David and I decided it was high time we kicked it out of the big city and head out into the country. We had such wonderful weather and couldn't pass up the chance. So we headed south on the motorway and headed to Taupo, which is a city on the largest lake in NZ. It was a ( Read more... )

So despite some emotional bullshit I'm trying to work through, I had a very enjoyable day today. Sharnita, Patrick, Gareth, Melissa, two of melissa's friends, David and I all went to the Zoo. Now mind you, it's about the quarter size of the Zoo that I'm use to but it was a nice day. We went to the pub across the street for lunch first and got to ( Read more... )

Wah...I've totally not been keeping up with the whole diary thing since I started my trip. I've been so caught up in all the natural and cultural beauty of this nation that I've been occupied. The weather hasn't been the best from what I'm told, but coming from a place where it's below 30...it's nice. Lots of sun and lots of being outside ( Read more... )

So the last few days have been hell on my soul. I'm now poor and without one of the best animals I've ever had the privilage of having in my care. Syb, the teddy bear hamster, came into my life last November when someone left him out in the cold weather at Wal-Mart. So I took him in and he was the sweetest piece of pie. I've never had a rodent who ( Read more... )

So I've been living in my new apartment for a week now and despite a few little pissy bouts from Brandon and Robert being so exhausted that he mostly just grunts now, I'm happy. The cats are adjusting real well, except for Mia, who's transformed into a mole and refuses to get out from under the covers unless she's gotta go potty or eat. It's kind ( Read more... )

So it's the big day again...the day that I finally break away from my parents for the second time in my life to strike out on my own. I had little sleep last night and a full day of moving and then work isn't very appealing. My manager Ben though was understanding and told me if I just plum didn't feel like coming in, I wouldn't have to. Which was ( Read more... )
