Crystal ball years.

Infinite ties?
Infinities.
It feels like i've been here at least a month, already. It hasn't even been a week!!
I arrived Saturday night, checked into the City Garden Lodge, went out for dinner and found a vegan burger, came back and checked emails, journalled a bit, went to bed. Sunday, woke up, showered, checked out, phone calls to nearby hostels, looking for somewhere I could stay at least 2 weeks. Caught taxi for the short trip to the Auckland International Backpackers, checked in, unpacked. Went out for lunch and exploring. Ended up spending an hour or two on the internet in an internet cafe, methinks. haha.
My goodness, I really have done a lot in this short time...
Then (still on Sunday), went out for a walk around the city centre, long walk, past a few parks that I'll revisit soon, got myself some fruit and veg, caught myself a bus, eventually found a supermarket late at night, bought some groceries, came home. While in the city I bought postcards and stamps. I have sent some already.
I'm sure I did more.
Monday... was kind of the same? I forget, but Monday night regulars and good friends at the hostel offered me to accompany them to Minus 5, a bar made completely of ice. We shared cocktails and scored free cocktails off the bar attendant, my favourite was one with vanilla vodka. But I think we somehow managed to try every single one on the list? yeah, we were only supposed to have two between each of us, as in 6 all up. haha... HAHAHAHA!
Then we sat down at the bar next door, outside on really comfy couches. It felt warm out there, haha. Yeah, anywhere would have at that point. Fi, Dan, and Kim then talked rapidly and without break for an hour or so, they all must know each other pretty well. I like that when I go out, being able to just listen, especially when all the others want is for someone to listen (because they're stories are just SOOOOO AWESOME! haha. yeah, i'm the same when I want to be.)
Then when we went to get ourselves another drink, and found out the bar had closed, we moved on. First stop was maccas because they hadn't had dinner yet, then we finally made it to a place called the Fiddler. Irish pub. It's acutally run by an Irish guy- wow! haha. Awesome place, small, but good crowd. He had the music playing from a computer at the bar, so it was easy to troll through their playlist and find the things we wanted played.
Dan enjoyed getting me tipsy, then a bit more than tipsy, and I enjoyed dancing and then sitting in his lap. He asked me about my tattoo and I rambled on about stars for a bit, and rambled more when we were walking back to the hostel. Where nothing happened, haha. He's in San Fran now, staying with his mate's nan. HAHA! Yeah, idiot. Poor guy, he didn't want to catch his flight. Yeah, i'd be the same. Who wants to leave when you're only just starting to have fun? And who in their right mind thinks it'd be alright to stay with someone's nan???? HAHA.
Yesterday (tuesday), I slept, and started reading through a film festival schedule -highlighting the ones I'd like to go see. Said bye to Dan, he left at 4-ish. Then I called adam, and then i went out for lunch/dinner in Newmarket, bought myself some sheets, a throw (nice big comfy red one), some speakers for my ipod (all from the Warehouse, they have them here, HUGE ones!!!), and some more groceries (i was craving apple crumble. haha). Then I got back, made apple crumble fell asleep during Boston Legal (I've missed out on too many eps!!! NOOOOO!) woke up, and got laughed at when i declared i think i'll go to bed. heh.
so yes, it's been a full 3 days, on my fourth now. 4 nights.
I feel like i've been here weeks.
I start work tomorrow: paid training session. How cool am I????!!
First shift is paid training.
Yeah-ha, I rawk.
Going out again Friday night, with Joey the Peurto-Rican.
I've only been here 3 days.
I'm loving it.
WORK TOMORROW! I'm going to get shifts at reception aswell. Nice eh?
I'll be less preppy and more geeky/introspective later. Maybe. Maybe not. NOT!! haha. what now? no idea. all good. gooooooo-ooood. ness. me. it's. s. p. c.
Love ya, hate ya, miss ya (not much)
