Me and Nick are trademe whores. What can I say.

I wake up about 6pm after my last nightshift and find a text from him asking if I wanted to go on a roadtrip the next day. I said yeah sweet and texted the people I was buying my motox boots and helmet from and told them not to post them cos I was coming down country.

So I went for a drink with Becky and B-rad up at the trig. Sitting on the back of the utes watching the sunset over the Waitoki valley drinking beer is fucking mean (if you replace beer with something tastier anyway).

Moved Skinny down to Wellington on the 3rd (Saturday). 3 days into the new year and I’m already going for a road trip lol. Loaded up the van with all his stuff and took it down there. Ass end was so low. Driving down we listened to the audiobook Bill Bryson’s “A Short History of Nearly Everything” which is pure win if you wanna know tonnes of random little facts about how stuff around the world and how science stuff works.

Yeah, skinny got a job software testing for the government, got a nice little flat in Newtown. Wellington was pretty nice, went for a few drives. It’s actually amazing how much more relaxed Wellington is than Auckland. Tonnes of bogans in Newtown as well, was cool. Lots of weirdos tho. We started yelling out “Weirdo!” everytime we saw one but then on observing that there were shitloads of weirdo’s around we started yelling out “Wellingtonian!” instead (no offense to any Wellingtonian’s).

I went and watched him on his BMX at island bay skatepark, he’s pretty mean on a BMX. Should’ve taken some vids but no camera. Yeah.

Was gonna see Tiger while I was in town but she didn’t reply to my email so wasn’t worried, think she was in Christchurch anyway lol.

I left on the Monday, after dropping Skinny off at work – bout 830am dept time. Was cool on the way back, pulled over for a rest, jumped in the back in my hammock and read my book. Bill Bryson’s “A Walk in the Woods”. Dude is a genius.

Got back to DF at about 6pm, bit long but did have quite a few rests.

Man, lots to do this weekend.

Finish at 7am this Sat morning, I’ve gotta get some sleep, then get up, install my front speakers in my van, change the oil, hook up the drivers door central locking, and tune the amp for all the speakers.

Then going to the Psycroptic concert with Joe, Nick, Shelley and her friend Ella, get drunk off my nut, and mosh the fuck out. Should be mean. Gotta buy a Psycroptic Tshirt too. My brother wants to come but he is not 18 for another 15 days. Shame.

Then on Sunday (hopefully not hungover) road trip it down to Tauranga to pick up my gat and amp and hang around Tauranga if its nice weather.

Then on Monday I can install and play Far Cry 2!! Dave bought it in for me tonight, going to be SO mean! Thats another one I can scratch off my list Plus COD5 came out yesterday so hopefully I’ll get my hands on a copy of that soon.

Shit just remembered its my dads birthday on monday too… what am I going to get him… also skinny leaves for Wellington…

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…

Far out… slept in so long. Marlo came round again, fuck he’s hilarious and without even trying to be. Such a munter lol, Awesome shit… Anyway we all went out to the beach at Oriental Bay, and they played hacky. I didn’t wanna get burned, or put on sunscreen. So I was sitting there in my hoodie, looking like a creepy stalker, while texting Lilley lol. Luckily there was quite a chilly breeze so didn’t get too hot with my hood up.

Brown and Rebecca sunbathed and played guitar while the others played hacky, rugby, and frisbee. Pretty crackup watching them play. Some other dudes had a big slingshot and were trying to shoot this boat that was parked out in the bay with waterbombs. They hit it a few times. The people on board were looking real confused.

With Marlo as our tour guide we went and got lunch in my van. Then we went to the beach by the airport and watched the planes taking off and landing and stuff, sitting in the lounge chairs in the van.

Marlo was also nice enough to drop us off at the concert. When we saw the line at the gates to the concert, we were like “Holy Shit!” it was so long. But it started moving pretty quick. This is when I saw the KISS ARMY, in camo pants and singlets, that was a really mean idea.
