The day the ducks saw me coming so they all decided to do something special for me.

The one in the middle gathered the comrades and got them to form a heart. Upon his quack I snapped the picture, and then we all flew away and made fun of the seagulls.

I didn't draw this

But I like her style of thinking, I should start making comics again. If I would write down all the random thoughts that fly through my head I'm sure eventually I'd have a book. I used to do that back home when I rode on the subway. I had this big sketch book with this huge bag of crayola markers. It was an interesting way to meet strangers as well, people would often inquire about what I was drawing. I kinda get self conscious though if I'm making something that's not perfect. I guess it's the Virgo in me perhaps. Christmas/birthday/everyday presents are a nightmare for me. I could make something and take it apart 3+ times before I'm semi satisfied. I feel that way about a lot of things. I just like to try to put thought into stuff, which is why I don't believe in buying cards.
Back to the point though!!!!

I would feel guilty for putting that picture up and not mentioning I didn't draw it. If I didn't I would partially be a sham. I can't lie, sometimes it works to my disadvantage, but usually it's good karma I suppose....

Anyways this girl does the sweetest drawrings.....She also has a good blog, a real interesting person. If she was a spice she would maybe be cayenne pepper....yum!!! I'd high five her oh yes I would.

So if your ever bored you should check out her site

Why am I awake??

uhh it's not even that late!Iit's actually not even midnight....I'm so sleepy in the eyes though...I think this is one of the few times when I've been tired before the magical stroke of midnight.....

Anyways I somehow got an urge to give a quick little update on life and bla bla....

Life is good....as always

I like my new job it's pure jokes...realllll cruisy!! The people I work with are all real fun, and the work is nice. When I was walking home with my co-worker she gave me a pat on the back, and said I was doing a great job and that she was glad I was hired....She also said that I was real good with customers and had a nice style!! Aweee how what a flatterer!!!! So sweet...Well I try though!! I figure if your gonna do anything you may as well make the best of it...

I talked to a promo girl @ work today too and she is the supervisor at another promo comp. She's gonna hook me up with heaps of in bar work which is good perks/pay...!!! Yes yes!!! Soon maybe I"ll buy a push bike!!! Oh the possibilities are endless!! I love having a push bike...There is one American dude that may want to get rid of his wheels...I would like to purchase them....

I checked out room for rent as well....I know I didn't make a good impression, and that's fine as I don't want to live there anyways. I kinda got side tracked and was running a tad late...So I came in like a hurricane hit, and was all rush rush, as I didn't want to be late for work. I wasn't calm in the mind, and didn't really feel like playing up a sham...so I just kinda went to look at it quick and said I'd get back to him. It's only one room that is available, and the dude is in his 30s and doesn't seem like a very interesting person...So I will bide my time until the perfect situation comes along. I think I love moving too eh!!! It's great...I would kinda dread and love moving when I was back in the motherland. My favourite place was King and Bathurst, I think after living there I wouldn't want anything less in my new place. I want to have nice romates who are cool and fun to hang out with, as well as my own little space bubble. I will have my cake and eat it too, I am convinced. In the meantime I will keep working here for free accommodation and continue to make shitty beds, and clean the kitchen. I get to kick people out of the kitchen too, which is kindof fun. It's fun for me because I think one of the things I need to work on within myself is being more assertive. I don't think I have it in me to say anything in a bitchy tone, however I do need to work on not being so around the bush sometimes. I reckon having little personal goals is good for yourself.

Today @ work the Germans fucked up LARGE and they are going to get the axe...I'm so glad I"m not woofing tomorrow...I'm going far far away (it's actually not it's just the next town and a half over)....But sooo glad I'm not working....Instead I get to work at my promo job, and then the bottle shop afterwards...

That is my random nothings

Bye now

P.s. If I owe you a phone call I will do it soon....I've been a little bad...which is why I'm perhaps trying to compensate by writing in here perhaps??? My oh my how Chrissy's psychology works!!!

ahhhhh pass out queen is going to bed to dream of magic porridge and spoons!!!

Bye

Sparkles falling from the sky and onto the door mat of 42 Weka Street

So today proved to be an equally nice day...

Today has been a little bit of a 'Chrissy Date day'....With my laundry newly done and folded as of yesterday (:op) I was feeling quite happy to greet the sunshine after a rainy yesterday in Nelson.

After semi-magical cerial, and bed bitch duties, I sealed the deal with my jobs, and had a little shopping journey with my Funny German roomate. Bought a few small pressies for myself to congratulate my graduation of the lady of leisure life style.....Those are good styles though!....After Jeffs wicked soup @ 6:30 pm (Paradiso gives you free breaky/soup in the morn/eve) I then hooped for the better part of an hour. Today is kinda strange feeling, because all my favourite people are gone @ the hostel......I could be social if I like, however I kinda feel as though I want to use this Handi-cap to my advantage.....

Possibly being productive, as I have the room to myself tonight (that is so rare, I never get a room to myself)....I will probably do real boring things like make anklets, drink water, and listen to show tunes, along some Bollywood tracks my crazy roomie will grace my ears with. I don't think I have had a night like that in a while so I look forward to it...

The ducks are fed, the strings have been tied and the day has begun to simmer....

bzzzz Out I go!!!

Happy Wednesday

Rain + Too much Tea + Leopard Print Wellies + Rosy Cheeks + Active Imaginations + Bed Bitch duty - stolen food bags cause people to do stupid drawrings

Rain on a Terrific Tuesday in the Promised Land?

Yes you heard it right...after weeks of endless sunny days we have had a real rainy day in the sunshine capital of NZ today. However I feel no sadness, the mountains smile, as the green has faded and needs a touch-up.

I must say it's actually been quite delightful...In some ways I"m a little more productive in the rain, in others not so much...Right now I've been twiddling my thumbs in anticipation of what I will do next.....I reckon writing is therapeutic and makes me feel sparkly so here I sit pretty in the kitchen on my synthetic best friend (my lap top)...Sounded almost pure scandal didn't it???

Allow me to back up just a tinge though...

Before terrific tuesday, was Magnificent Monday....Why was it so magnificent may you ask??? The reasons could be my rosy cheeks, however the blog worthy ones relate to employment prospects.

My general perspective on life can sometimes be a little too laid back sometimes. I kinda blindly applied to a few jobs (ones I will surely get, however I would have to wait another three weeks (ish)).....Even though if I really wanted to I could do this, I figure it's in my best interest to buckle down and stop being a lady of leisure. I really should get a ticket back home for Nov so I can high five my best friends and lovely family (aweeeee)....Chrissy = Cheese.....

I applied to one promo job and the lady was so impressed, that she drove over to interview me...INSANE...!!! She is the most laid back boss ever (actually that's subjective but I"ll leave it at that)....She got a couple shifts doing some promo work for the next few weeks, along with working @ concerts, and beer and wine festivals (FUN!!).....The perks are quite nice and I'll leave it at that...But anyone I know in real people life I will hook you up...(I always spread sunshine when I was in the loop back home-oh yes I did) Spreading sunshine is probably my favourite thing in the world. That's why I miss my social work so much...Even when you have a real shit day and kids are putting thier heads through windows, you still feel like your making somewhat of a difference.....I really miss it and am sure I will get back on that wagon soon...

I then put on my dancing shoes, which also serve the purpose of being productive or kicking ass...(in a metaphoric sense...I'm not so violent)...I click clacked my heels down the road walked to the liquor king and got myself a bottle shop job....I'm actually quite stoked about it.....I didn't want to do cafe/restaurant work, so this is a nice side job. In the mean time if the health board calls me back I'll see what happens. I have stopped thinking of things in such a boxed format and think that wherever I end up in life, it was meant to be that way.....Anyways enough of my babbling about that....I"m just stoked that I will be a working girl again. I can wish lots of random people happy Mondays and hook up my alcoholic friends with cheap booze...haha....

So life is well......I've enjoyed playing in the rain, I have my leopard print wellies on and have jumped in a few puddles, and slid in the mud. The streets are quite empty, which is kinda nice because then you have a giggle with everyone when your walking down the road. I bought myself three dates (because today is a fabulous day) and my favourite iced coffee.....

My food bag went missing so I felt a little shit...I was so stoked for my salad, but had to do a plan B - soup........................@ least I love soup........it's such good food..

Okay anyways I"m off

P-Party Shananagans

On Friday we had a P party/Birthday party for this dude Dave @ Paradiso.
A P party is when you have to dress up as something that starts with a P. This could include many things: A post card, pineapple, pie, are all prime examples of P items.
I have a pretty good group of girls in the woofing house now. Some could not make it due to prior engagements, nonetheless it was a great time.
I dressed up as Peas as you can see in the above picture.
(I have so many frozen peas to eat....actually I'm eating them right now!!)
Anyways below are some pictures of the P party.

Aside from that life is sweet as the organic dates at fresh mart (they really are the finest in the land, I have sampled heaps). I've gotten to know the woofing crew a bit better, and am glad to be here. Amongst our girl house, we have three ladies from Argentina. They remind me of the chipettes from Alvin and the chipmunks. They are absolutely adorable, and their cheeks scream for pinching. We have an awesome Irish lass who loves Canada, and is an absolute darling. A boy crazy German girl who gets attacked by vacuum cleaners...a hem...!! And a sweet Swedish girl who does reception full-time.

Anyways I don't have too much to say so ...

Pedofile priests, hanging out with a punk
I love the Giant Jenga picture of Delfie, and Patrice...Pure team work on the jenga

More Giant Jenga with Peas, a pirate, plant, and a punk rocker

The P-Party Gals @ the Pre-P-party

@ the Nelson Beach with the Paradiso Fam

More cider in the park festivities

After we walked to the centre of NZ (such hard work...-hehe)...We decided to wet our whistles with some cider. We went to the park, played on the swings, etc, and had some crab races....

Gerrett and I @ the beginning of the walk, and @ the top trying to reach for the centre
