Life is crazy

Yet another website has been mysteriously blocked at work. If they keep this up I will have nowhere left to surf!!

This week = incredibly busy. But mainly with social rather than non-social engagements. Last night was our big final flat tea. We went to Lonestar - the first time we'd been to the new one that has taken the place of Cobb and Co in Riccarton. There was a bit of a wait - but we had drinkies at the bar to tide us over. PLUS we all got some super good news whilst waiting so it was not all in vain - one of our really good friends is ENGAGED!!!!

Awesome eh? Another wedding to look forward too! And I'm just super-excited/happy for them because they are awesome and he is an awesome, awesome guy! YAY!!!

Anyway...food was really really good and there was WAY too much of it. AND we had presents. Well, me and Janina did because it is our birthday week. Jem, Jen and Trace got me this awesome retro T-shirt with Rainbow on it AND a really cool-looking bottle of wine that is called "Cat Pee on a Gooseberry Bush" and it is FUNKY. Plus the proceeds go to the SPCA so that's good! Don't know how the wine tastes as yet but I'm sure it'll be fine.

Anyway, out again tonight - so Thursday will be my first night in ALL week. And I will be spending it packing. Yay...the only good thing is that according to my countdown I only have 9 working days (not including today) left to go for this year!!! Of course I have to squeeze two weddings, a work do and party in the park in between all those work days so I'm pretty sure I'll keep busy!!!

Busy, busy...

Good Pie Party

I hate the way you feel after a night of semi-debauchery. ("Debauchery" always makes me think of Wimbledon when Paul Bettany serves Kirsten Dunst breakfast in bead...) You always feel so gross and semi-tired and your stomach seems just on the verge of revolt because it's hungry but it doesn't want normal breakfast foods, it wants coffee and something ridiculously bad for you.

The Pie Party...in the words of Borat, was a "great success!"

After all the worrying that not a lot of people would come the place was packed out...it is SUCH a tip right now. Haha, lucky for us Trace volunteered to clean up. The kitchen is literally full with unwashed dishes.

Jem, Grant and their girly midori ;)

We were so tiddly...was hard to get everyone to stay still for the photo!

At least they're all facing the right way now ;)

One with me in...check out the new hair!!!
Okay, it's quite hard to tell from the photo...)

Us trying for "Super Cheese" (New hair!!!)

Being a bit silly...

Not entirely sure what Mel did here but the effect is really cool haha!

Close up of Amy ;) I love HER hair...hehe

This is the best one...I do look like a HUGE dork in it though!

What the boys were doing while we were taking hundreds of photos of ourselves!
(Louis is wearing Isaac's jersey for some reason...)

Was a REALLY good night, plus we scored a whole lot of beer and half a bottle of Lindauer and half a bottle of (real) wine as well. Not really what we intended as we were planning on clearing the place out of food. But I guess alcohol is different! Haha...sadly Grant did not leave the midori behind....

But the wine punch was awesome. I will have to buy more of that mix again sometime :) Perhaps will bring it overseas with me...

Anyway, should probably go get dressed or something. Is Isaac's dad's birthday today and we need to go shopping for a present! We're so disorganised!!

Randoms

Quiz night last night was fun. Our asses got KICKED but that's okay...I think I knew in my heart that we weren't going to win. Still, nice times with our team!

Ended up going with the entire flat to Zanzibar in Merivale after. Met up with Ben from work and some for his friends there. Nice place. Felt extremely fancy to be drinking in Merivale. Way posher than my usual hang outs. (The Clock Tower - haha....) Had a VERY good vodka cranberry - $7.50 - but that's okay. Not like I was drinking in excess.

Anyway, on the way out who should we run into but Sal, Ben and Michelle!!! Of all the random coincidences. Ben was trashed off his face, which lent some amusement to the whole proceedings. Especially when he went to find other Ben at the bar next door, walked over, turned back to face us as whispered (exaggeratedly, of course) "There's ANOTHER bar here!!!"

HAHAHA!!!

Up early AGAIN. Pie party today, so I have a carrot cake to ice and a cheesecake to make. And a hair appointment at 11am...ugh. Why do I do these things to myself! Also, can't be assed making myself breakfast. But have had coffee. Perhaps this accounts for the speed of my typing....lol

Excited

There is a job in the paper that I really want. It's for The Press. But I was humming and haaing about whether or not to apply because really I couldn't start work till the end of January.

Isaac thought that I should just do it anyway.

Then I also showed it to Jem at breakfast today.

I'm applying to his uncle!!! Haha...what a randomly small world!!!

This still doesn't mean that I'll get it. But it's still quite funny. It does make me want the job more though. I've even met his uncle! And been over to his place when Jem's been house-sitting.

Jem said that I should go to the interview and say: "I've been in your spa..." in an ominously threatening voice.

Funny...lol.
