Less enthused about the ultimate, having dislocated my little finger last night (thankfully not breaking it as well) resulting in a ring-block injection (painful) and a good yank on it (very very painful) Should be right in a couple weeks though.

Pissed off about politics - WTF WHY WITH THE THREE STRIKES POLICY WHHHHHHYYYYYYYY? Stupid right-wing reactionary cunts.

But in nicer news, birthday party is on Sunday from 1:30ish. All are invited. Rain is supposed to clear midday, so we can all keep our fingies crossed please. (the ones that aren't dislocated anyways.)

Dec. 26th, 2009 @ 12:32 pm HOLIDAY TEIMZ NAO!

So, I'm off to Omori, which is a hole, but at this time of year it will hopefully be a hole with attractive young men swimming in it.

Ahem.

Will be back on the 1st of Jan or thereabouts, depending on if I get a better offer for new years than "Pretty Woman" with Jim and Kolby.

For Christmas Santa brought me red converse, a book on F1, highlarious cricket collectors cards circa 1995 and a shirt which proves my mother should no longer be allowed to dress me.

Will hopefully be back with piccies.

ANYWAYS

Some people will vote and stuff twice, since I did a textual pole, but given having an January birthday is a complete pain, I should ask now...

Dec. 2nd, 2009 @ 09:50 pm Greatest Sporting Quote Ever

Rico Bearman from North Harbour is a World Champ at BMX in the 5-6 year old age grade. When asked about his world championship, he said

"Dad said I could have a PS3 if I won so I went and I won and then I got my PS3."

Sometimes it's refreshing not to hear the patriotic bullshit

So, you know the drill, say "Dress Code!" and I'll ask you queries. (yeah, I'm feeling the ultimate frisbee love right now.)

From

spartanwarewolf

1) Favourite sport?
This is a hard, hard one but I think cricket. not least because of all the awesome friends I've made through it.

2) If you had to pick only one sport to see ever again, which one and why?
I'd probably pick cricket willingly, but realistically I would have to choose rugby because otherwise in this country I would have to go completely blind to miss it.

3) Favourite author?
Um... Gah! Really, I have no idea. I wanna be all like "prose or poetry" or something like that, but I guess I dunno.

4) What do you want to do with your life?
Right now - write great poems.

5) Any country you could visit, which one and why?
England - see all my friends there.

I went to see the Peter Pan ballet last night. It was really wonderful, although it did raise several ponderable questions for me...

If Neverland is basically the imagination of a twelve year old boy, what is it like now? And who would the lost boys be?

And... Why did peter decide to go to Neverland in the first place? Why didn't he want to grow up?

I've written 10,003 words, which is RIGHT ON SCHEDULE - Yeeeeah Booooy.

Now somehow I have to keep this up, not go insane, and do all my schoolwork.

I'm so screwed.

What on earth should I put on my cover letter to Vic to pursuade them to let me on their writers course? No clue.

... It's 5'o clock. TO THE PUB!

Sooo... I attended my first cricket practice, which was good fun. We got some advice from our clubs overseas pro, a Yorkshire lad named James, which is better than last year when we didn't have a coach at all. He was both amusing and amused at our eagerness in comparison to our lack of skill.
I suck, but I'm still liking it. Actually my bowling isn't bad, but I seem to have a complete and utter inability to hit the ball. I'm taking a position as dedicated number 11 batsman.

And in other news... Im doing nanowrimo. Foolish, foolish me. 3344 words so far.

Oct. 27th, 2009 @ 09:11 am The Lithium Experiment, part III

Today I just feel like I have been hit with a spade. I keep stopping in the middle of things and staring off into space. It's like I'm running at about a third my normal speed.

My mum is causing me intense irritation. She keeps saying that if I don't like it I should look at moving out. I want to move out. Unfortunately I am getting 150 off studylink a week and paying 80 for my rent down in Dunedin. Which doesn't leave much for rent up here.

Actually, I say "intense irritation" but I don't feel it intensely. It's like the difference between wanting something to eat, and actually being hungry. Most odd.

Oct. 26th, 2009 @ 10:12 am The Lithium Experiment, part II

So, after three days I feel okay. Actually okay. I have zombie walk, my hands hang out in front, but thats okay. Also okay is the indigestion, though it is interrupting my sleep badly. Bit spacey, but that's getting better, as is the dry mouth and metal taste. Because my mouth tastes like metal I have been constantly craving sweet things, which I should stop indulging in, for the sake of my teeth and indigestive tummy.

Sadly, the bit that is really getting me down is the retaining water. My feet, ankles and knees are swollen to the point of pain. I'm really, really puffy. Not fitting into my pants and thus not feeling terribly pretty.

So, time for a new type of crazy pill. I am now taking pop-culture. My mouth tastes funny, like dirty metal. Also, headpain and vague finger tingling.

ETA, 10:36am: I feel weird. The headpain is much worse, and my arms feel floaty - like Im drunk or high. I keep feeling like I want to stretch them. Additions of nausea and brain fog.

In the last 24 hours my stomach has stopped churning for an hour. That was the hour I was asleep. Just eaten breakfast and the churning and reflux has started again.

My tutor should have no problem believing I was ill, I look fucking awful.

No more pills, please doctors, no more pills, no more side effects, let me have my body back.

Oh, and Mum, When you tell me you know more about my experiences than I do, it is very hurtful and upsets me. Please stop.

So, despite all the issues and problems, Mum and I are going to Samoa. The fun, tacky holiday has melted away before our eyes, and I'm just hoping against hope that it won't turn into another five days of stress.

Stress on the Beach anyone?

Oh, and for the SMO people, the lads will be back Wednesday night.

Becuase I am procrasinator extroardinaire... Here's another meme. This time if you reply with "I swear that's just time I have on my hands" I may ask you five questions. Or I may not because I'm lazy like that, but you increase your chances significantly.

I have made a vaguely momentous decision - I'm going back to ITF Tae Kwon Do. I'm training with Spirit club, and I'm enjoying it so much more than Rhee TKD. Also, my forearms and shins are back to be being a multi-coloured rainbow of bruises and I likes it that way.

I'm coming to Dunedin on Thursday, and will be leaving next Tuesday. I am equal parts excited and stressed. Mmm stress. Need to keep up the whole fitness thing while I am down there, due to pretending to learn to be a personal trainer. So there be gymming and swimming and all that guff.

Its not looking like being a relaxing holiday, to be honest. *frown*
