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 [info]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.

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.

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.

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*

I feel: burning rage
Fuck you sky sport. No really. Fuck you. When you say you will show a replay of the cricket, and then instead decide to show replays of AFL, a sport no one in this ccountry gives two shits about, I am going to get angry. Especially when you decided that highlights of the poms playing the aussies was worth showing, but still no replay of our team.

FCK YOU YOU HAVE RUINED MY FUCKING WEEKEND.

So. Fitness.

Despite doing a course to be a frigging Personal Trainer my fitness levels are still pants. Really pants. So in order to rectify this, for the next ten days I am challenging myself to get up early and instead of slumpng into the shower and then onto the computer - to go for a 1/2 hr run. Not easy as I hate running. Though less than I used to.

If all goes well, I'll keep doing it, and then when the Thorndon pool opens next month, early morning swims will be the order of the day.

I'll keep youse updated.

Oh, and Dunedinites - Im coming down on the 25th of September, to pack up my flat and see you all, since I snuck away last time!

Dear Substitute Tutor,

Being sexist, ableist, racist and homophobic does not make you "edgy" or "un-PC" or whatever you think it makes you. It makes you a gigantic douchenozzle. Offending everyone you can think of is not big or clever, it is the reason you got fired from this job in the first place.

And you may think I am rude for literally facepalming directy in front of you, but the guy you were busy paying out for using the girly, wussy cross-trainer - Well he only has one leg, so he isn't actually able to use that bastion of manliness, the treadmill. And he's still tougher than you.

No love at all,

Me.

P.S. You might want to reconsider making anymore fuckknuckle statements like that - Rory has promised next time you do he will throw his prosthesis at your head. Given he's going to the para-olympics for javelin, that'll hurt.
