Yeah, I know… it’s been nearly two months…

So yeah, it’s been pretty much forever since I updated this blog. I’m a bastard, I know. Obviously my new years resolution to update this bad boy regularly has failed. And so has my resolution to get into better shape. I went bunjy jumping in Taupo and they weighed me… and I’ve gained 7 kilos. Probably more by now. That’s fifteen pounds. Eeek. And now I’m back in Auckland, getting ready for Australia on Thursday.

A lot has happened since I last updated this blog.

First, I went to the Cook Islands and had an incredible experience with one of my best friends. So much fun. I don’t even remember New Years. Then I went back to New Zealand and went up to Paihia and met some cool people and travelled around NZ with them on a tour bus. Again so much fun.

Lets see if I can remember some of the highlights:

  • Making gingerbread houses with my friend Nicholson
  • Christmas Celebrations with my birth-family
  • Christmas Celebration with my Mom on farm where Lord of the Rings was filmed
  • Seeing a spotted eagle ray, 3 sea turtles, and a white-tipped reef shark while snorkelling in theCook Islands
  • Lounging around the beaches on Paihia
  • Eating incredible amounts of food
  • Applying for 18 Google jobs and not receiving any responses
  • Watching a video about the “Gay” Dolphin
  • Bunjy Jumpin!!!!
  • Watching the Buskers Competition in Christchurch
  • Listening to Flight of the Concords
  • Playing way too much Monopoly
  • Trekking around Abel Tasman
  • Drinking way too much in Barrytown
  • Sleeping under my friend’s bed in Franz Joseph, and going for a 1 hour turned 3 hours hike with said friend (with no water)
  • Jumping into freezing cold glacier water
  • Singing Total Eclipse of the Heart in Queenstown
  • Checking out Milford Sound
  • Doing a three day hike on Stuart Island in one day!!!
  • Partying in Dunedin in clubs full of 16 year olds
  • Hanging out in Queenstown for a week, going out almost every night
  • Meeting up with Emily in Christchurch

I need to figure out what I am going to do with this site. Stay tuned :D

Well, hello stranger! Good to see that you didn’t fall off the face of the earth (although where you’re partying practically IS. LOL).

(Okay, that last post didn’t make ANY sense. I meant to say “the edge of the earth” … whatevs. It’s late here.)
