So much for leaving at 8am. Woke up at like, 930. Had a shower and stuff, texted Lilley. Didn’t want to leave without having an actual conversation with her lol (like not wasted). The others got up and screwed around for a while, we bought the guy whose house we were staying at some beer and stuff as a thank you. Got on the road at about 11:45, the others went back and I headed to Lilleys. Chatted with her and her brothers mates for a while.

Had a game of Guitar Hero with her, and got fuckin owned. It was my first go, but seriously, that girl can shred!

We were both still pretty munted from the night before I think lol, I felt like such a douchebag… like real slow and dumb. But yeah, she’s really cool. Hard to find girls like her. Then you do find her and something comes between you. *sigh* Murphy’s law bites me in the ass again…

Left at about 3pm took the normal route home. I was being a dick on the Desert Road, through the three sisters and stuff, seeing what the van could do round the corners but there were other cars on the road! Bastards! I was even overtaking them through there which was fun. Lilley must have read my blog by that stage and text me like “wtf u a satanist?!” haha.

Stopped at Taupo for subway and parked by the lake with the door open sitting in one of the lounge seats. Was mean.

When I left it was dark, and the headlights on the van are really bad so could see hardly anything after I left Taupo, even on hibeam (cos hibeam is useless and lowbeam is parking lights???), plus I pulled a fuse out from somewhere to plug in for the ACC so neither the horn nor the hazards are working (reminds me I should look for a fuse box plan on the net). So that was fun.

I would’ve almost made it back on one tank, but filled up just after Matamata, then going through Maramarua I kept having to go slower and slower, could hardly make out the road. Then I saw a B Train coming up behind me so I pulled over and let it past. That dude was going so fast. Keeping it pinned at like 110kph through these little country roads, bush on both sides. No wonder you see so many dead animals on the road!

Followed the truck till the motorway and got home at about 11:30. The cat was so happy to see me. Everyone else was in bed though.
