So i have arrived back in Queenstown. After hours of trying to get it to work the music programme needed to transfer songs onto my MP3 player randomly decided to start working and so i got around 400 new songs for my trip. There is something that i wont be able to do down here, it is going to be hard to get used to paying for the internet again, kindof sucky as well.
So leaving Dunedin was a bit depressing. I had settled in nicely there and made a few friends in the hostel and the internet cafe. thats something i will have to get used to i suppose if i am going to be moving around a lot. Of course i was half-way to Queenstown when i realised that i lelt my phone charger, a pair of shoes, a hat and all my rings, chains and stuff back there so i am getting the jewellery's and charger sent back to me. The rest can just be donated or dumped. Richard, the owner of the internet cafe and hostel said if ever i need a reference for a job in an cafe/hostel here then i can give his name which is pretty sweet. I will try and get back there for a weekend or two before i head away.
So Queenstwn is just as i remember it, except colder. Last night appearantly it was -10 degrees, boo. The slopes are opening this qweekend but i may give them a miss as i am sure that they will be completely mobbed and i want to get stuff organised here. Finding a place and a job is important but also finding a place with someone who drives and is here for the season is going to be a must. There is a shuttle bus the 8k out to the snow fields several times a day. Except this being Queenstown it is $25 dollars a day or $700 for the season, i mean fuck sake.
Back in the same hostel again for a while. Its a bit weird, going from the person who showed around the new guests and so knowing most people ion the hostel to just another back-packer. I am better prepared this time though, just on my way to the supermarket to stock up on all the necessaries and then will make myself a proper diner. i am also a bit better with the whole hostel eqituitte, in that i find it easier to start conversations with complete strangers and stuff, which is always a help.
Anyhow, expect my internet presence to be greatly reduced for the near future, going to have to stay in uber-cheapo mode for a while i say.
PS: Hello Patrick, i missed your musk

i'm writing this in ul library. got sick of the fact that my laptop doesn't allow me to check emails or leave comments on blogs so i just decided to actually use a real computer. the problem with that is that i then have no more excuses not to check my emails and dread having to open the folder up in case i've been neglecting important people. i got so nervous that i'm still feeling a little sick.
let's compare positions shall we? i'm back taking notes in lectures again. weeeird. you're freezing your ass off in some high altitude mountain resort in NZ. i think that that constitutes more acceptable behaviour for someone our age.
actually, when i say "our age" i really mean "your age" or even "your and liam's age". out of our group of three i am the only one who could accurately be described as being in my early twenties whereas you and blondie are officially in your midtwenties. i now have the right, for three glorious weeks, to refer to you both as pops. unreal.
anyway, props to my pops. peace out and respect to my elders. yo.
actually, leaving a comment felt goooood. soooo gooooood. i wanna do it again and again and again. oh by the way, my diet got weirder again. if you don't understand why, don't worry. it's probably an age thing.
actually conall i think that until we reach the 24-26 bracket we would still be described as 'early twenties' Enjoy your false sense of morale superiority cuz you know there will always be the younger better model that is Steve.
woooooooo im a model now!
it stings the nostrils.
you know what's weird? suicide.
sorry for throwing that out there. a machanic who i work with, and got pretty friendly with did away with himself on thursday night. strange really......
anyway, back to the festivities! while the rest of ye can bicker about young and middle twenties, i feel like i'm securely placed in the middle aged bracket!!! things couldn't be more mundane. i might up snorting cocaine off cheap hookers asses just to liven things up a tad.
can i come too? and be a model and be middle twenties. i only just remembered my password to the blog thingy there so i couldnt post. i may now even blog but i wouldnt count on it.
is anyone else getting wrinkles?
