Skate Or Die

Were Leaving End Of July. Really Scary, they gave us a sheet with all the dates and times for everywhere were going as a team, it only filled an a5 sheet of paper, thats the rest of our year! It Doesnt feel like long to go at all! =(
Bex, if you take up drinking, buying alcohol, and buying fireworks Ill have to come and give you a sound beating.. Apart from the fireworks thing, thats cool. I like celebrating an attempt at blowing up the Government.
On sunday we went and had a picnic on top of a hill overlooking cambridge, It was a real nice day, and a vintage aircraft was doing stunts out there in the clear blue sky.
Zac wasn't there with us though because his folks came down from auckland to give him a birthday hug etc. He's no longer a minor! As of 2am this morning.
We got the video camera back and ended up making a new episode of peake. We stayed up real late editing it, in the end I told him to "GO HOME." lol
After the picnic Me and Jman went to the skate park to check out the local skills. Steven from work showed up and lent me his board. I found out how embarassingly bad I am at skating. lol. got to fall down some stairs though trying to do a grind.
When I got home I realized I had left my glasses behind somewhere on the way home. I was like, oh crud. So Steven (My host dad) Drove me and zac down to have a look. We hunted for ages, and then WOOT. Found em. Thank goodness. I was so sure someone would have nicked them. The same thing happened with Zacs eftpos card. I dropped it somewhere between home and countdown. I spent the entire walk home looking in the pitch black for the friggin card. I found a yugioh card to replace it (Thank goodness), when I got home I found the eftpos card on the floor. -_-
At work a bunch of the guys cornered Zac and gave him a birthday Wedgy. He managed to fend them off by getting Steven in a headlock and Peaky by the throat.

So yea, in a little bit everyones coming over to enjoy pizzaaaaaaaaaaa to celebrate Zacs Birthday.

To...Hungry....Must... Publish. *click*

The other team

Yea Sarah, their splitting us up. Much to the "AAAH" of the girls. I did want to go to Thailand so phew. The other teams heading over to phillipeans. Theyl be staying about a week with us in Thailand, and then another week at the end. We'll be teaching english in Thailand, and they will be doing more practical blatant outreach in phili. We got together as our teams tonight and prayed about all of this. I have to say I have the good looking team. =P

We started learning a tad of Thai. I remember that Cowputt is thai for rice. So just remember cowpat. And something like "Wutda clrap" is hello or something. So yea, 'What the crap."

We finished work early today due to the box machine breaking down, ah, glorious box machine. We may not have work tomorrow, which isnt really a good thing since we need all the money we can get :-|.

Oh yea, Special SHOUT OOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUT To Bexy. Its her birthday! Congrats on completing another circut around the sun huh? I wanted to do you a pic. But it looks like it'l have to wait.

Oh yea, heres Zacs cuts from the fall. They looked way cooler in RL.

P.s. Ema has said I am now her "official" Graphic design person. At some point she's gonna get me hooked up or something to use my skillz.

The teams are chosen

The teams were officially announced the other day for which country we would be heading towards.
on saturday they announced they would be telling us the teams, when we got there Len started with "Whats the worst thing thats happened in your life? Or what is the most dissappointing thing of your life?" Not really a good start I must say. He told us they had to delay, leaving all the girls to their moaning and conspiracy theories about how they would all be put on teams away from each other. All I could really say was "Well at least he didn't say, whats the worst things thats ever happened to you? Well this is about to be even WORSE, mwahahaha."
So on monday Len comes to pick us up from work, he gathers us all up and goes... "Whats the most exciting thing thats happened in your life?" Followed quickly by my statement of "HES A LIAR! Dont trust him!!"

Turns out he wasnt lieing.

So Im going to Thailand. Along with the following (Whether you care or not,) Zac, Jman, Cooli, Beth, Jess, Terresa, Jo, Hanna B. Our leaders will be Ema and her husband, and Emallie, last years gapper.

Im getting excited about learning the language.
We also only have another 4 or so weeks left of Kiwi fruit picking. woohoo.

Oh yea, Iron Mans a Decent Movie, quirky main character, one of marvels better movies I have to say. Street Kings is bad ass to. Bit of an average ending, but its all excitement till that point. Gritty and violent, not one for taking mum to.

Youth Service

I hope yall are enjoying NZ Music Month. As I write this I'm listening to some oldschool Supergroove. Those guys are funky. Along with the black seeds. Oooooh yea.



Anyway, other than my music tastes, Todays been rather good for a day off. Woke up to the entire house hold stampeding in every which direction for the pure joy of it. So deciding I would never get back to sleep I got up. We got to church and there was a big thing about mothers day I dont remember anymore.

me and the boys went to a family lunch with the diprose where we had the LONGEST game of munchkin ever. Everyone was like "finalaaaaaaay" When I drew the divine intervention card and won the game. One of the Rules written on the card is "If this card helps you to win the game you may taunt the other players mercilessly." So I did. XD. but they were just happy it was over. My claim to fame there was that our parents had bought a car from hamish. lol. Those diprose. EVERYWHERE.

Then later I went and hung out with Jo, where we had fun getting motion sickness from the swings.

We then ran off to the youth church. The main theme was silence and communication, we watched a nooma dvd. Gotta love that nooma. All fancy with its little o.

Afterwards I:
Ate a twig (Very chewy I dont really recommend it.)
Put out matches by putting them in my mouth.
Put out a whole handful of matches by smooshing them accidentally against my lip and tongue. its like drinking a scolding hot milo all over again. Except with a really bad matchstick afterbreath. yucky.

K Goodnight all. See you round.

Dnt trst me 2 mak logcl decsion

The other day we went to Dojo, which is raliegh streets youth thingy. It was pretty cool (Looking back on it.) The leaders were the guys who run HM rage and the the Lead from "All the Big Names".
Unfortunatly the girls got to go first when it came to eating, so by the time I got through to the Dining room there was barely anything left, and we had to eat that barely anything out of pizza box lids and empty bowls.
They got us playing mafia. And let me tell you, it was a BIG game of mafia. and thats not a good thing when your busting to go toilet the entire time. Fortunatly I wasnt picked as anything important, AND I never died, which is probably a bad thing since quoting Zac "...the most illogical gapper left! You kept Killing all the innocents!! YOU DIDNT KILL A SINGLE MAFIA!"
My reply was "YES! I just wanted everyone dead so I could go toilet."
Oh yea, mafia won -_-. My bad.
but here is the part that really made my night. So me and Zac are criticing the picket fence which is about knee hight, and the fact it could only stop people if they forgot to jump, when one of the girls from dojo randomly goes, "Omgosh, did you go to Hm rage last year??" "Yea." "Were you by the vending machines?" "YES." "ARE YOU FLASH MAN??" "OH YEA I FRIGGIN ROCK!!"
Then another joined in and then anothers like, woa, so your flash man? and then I go to the first chick "Your vending machine girl!" "Great, you get this awesome nickname and I get vending machine girl -_-." and then they tell me I was the funniest random guy at Hm rage, and that when they think of hm rage they lol about me. To say the least my ego was huge after that.

Last night I went on night shift, so I started work in the morning at 8, finished at 5, started again at 6 and then finished at 10:30. Insane huh? I would do it again I think. but as I type this Im so wasted from it. I usualy get to bed at 10:30. It was fun talking to some new faces though.

Ok, see you all later, xoxoxo


Did I mention I had fan girls?

Pool

Me at pool, and proof that the girls did JACK all during the mountain walk thingy.

The other day we went with Raliegh Street church Youth, or whatever they are, to pool, and a trendy little cafe. You know the sort, everythings wooden and dark metal. Where red bull costs 5 bucks a can.
Man, Work got on my nerves a bit today. Stupid boxes getting stuck half way before getting to me -_-. So yea, this is probably the most boring post E-V-E-R.
Sorry, I guess Ill just have to salvage it with an anicdote of some sort. *Looks around* Ah yea! I finished THIS!
Enjoy.

Anzakery day

Ok, so no photos, because Im lazy and stuff along those lines. But at least it was a good excuse at the time huh? Uh, Looks like I forgot what happened on anzac day now. Except two great stories. Both involving my good friend Zac Atak.
So we all decided to go on a walk up some randomly huge hill right? Ok, This is where you should be saying to yourself "Uh oh, I remember what happened LAST TIME you guys went up a hill."
We don't actually get to the top, because we find out it might take a few hours, and to be honest, were not really dedicated to that sorta thing. Most of the girls didn't even get onto the track to start with anyway. The only girls who came with us was Mum and Aimee, much to their credit. Mum wanted to do it cause shes supposed to be the tough farmer chick or something. Aimee came just because she was cool.
Some parts of the track were treaturiously steep, you start galloping down them without even trying. Have you noticed that we cant control our arms while going down hills, they bounce and flail in an extremely humouros fashion.
Me and Frank went on ahead down this massive steep path and around the bend, so we missed what was about to take place. It had to be the steepest slope in middle earth or something, I tell ya.
So anyway, there was zac, minding his own business, happy to be left alone, content in his place in this world, when Eddy the intern, shoves Zac with his battlecry of "Go for a run! =D"
Zac Falls forward, running to catch his balance, but before he can slow down he stands on the slippery clay which runs down the middle of the path. OH NO. His balance is lost again and so he ends up sprinting sixty meters, gaining speed while trying to keep his feet underneath him. Momentum is now the master, as he reachs the bottom he completely looses his balance and goes FLYING onto his chest and side, rolls for about 3 meters and well, he cant actually remember the roll, but everyone else said it was rather fantastic.
So me and frank turn up after the show was over, to find Zac beat up and bleeding. I wish I had the photos to gross you guys out with. It gave us a good excuse to give Eddy the guilts for the next week or so. Sigh. Good times.

We had a make shift party for Theresa, Frank, and Mum. Twas aight. We found human shaped balloons. Me and J found interesting ways to torture them before they consequently burst with pain.
I found a comic book store! Wooo. I ended up buying a card game called munchkin. OMGosh, it is rad. We liked it so much I bought an expansion pack, and Frank bought another version, Super Munchkins. The rules for the game are hilarious, and it makes fun of D&D constantly. I am a total nerd (Rolls 20 sided die, which I also bought while I was there.)
Yesterday was free comic book day, so we scored a bunch of free comics. I went for the webcomic and alternate european ones. We have been getting into our Lan games more and more at the net cafe to.

Ok, second story involving Zac. We were talking late one night (as we normally do) and he brought up the subject about things happening to him in the worst way (as he nursed his wounds from the mountain.)
So hes going to science class, "Lalalala" The first one through the door, looks around and "HOLYCRAPIJUSTFELLTHROUGHTHEFLOOR."
Apparently a trap door which was hiding in the floor had been weakened from the class before. and the trap door so happened to be along his plotted course to his table. Thanks for the tears of laughter Zac.
