im a little bit tired of fearing that i'll be the bad fruit nobody buysgah.. japan is but a few days away. im mildy excited about it now. we had a unexpectedly productive meeting about what we're doing and such. i was getting slightly frustrated at the indecision, but it seems to be all sorted. it might fly after all.
in the planning i managed to save myself much dollars with jsut minimal effort =p i saved $35 by walking down to Jalpak to buy by JR Pass instead of buying it from flight centre. then i saved $88 by finally going to check what the RBA health fund travel insurance was like. and man it is heaps cheaper =) those two things partially make up for the fact that i forgot to exchange my dollars for yen when the going was good.
in frisbee it was semi-finals time. in div4 we were 3rd ranked, playing 6th. and we lost.. grr. but to make up for it, in div3 we were 6th ranked, playing 3rd. and we won =) i had a bit of a blinder in div3, totally unstoppable if i do say so myself =p
in div4 i had a bit of a scare when i accidently kicked tenny in the knee whilst running full pace. i didnt see him cos the frisbee was about to hit me in the face =p anyways.. i hit the deck with a horrible "oh no, i hope i can still go snowboarding!!". but it seemed ok. its bruised a bit and kinda tender and stiff. no major traumas though =)
gah.. and nige didnt make it this week. so i had to catch the train home.. or more accurately, i had to catch two buses and a train home cos of trackwork. grr. i got home well after midnite.. it was pretty hectic =p
.. so valentines day came and went... sigh .. *continues playing solitare*
in other news, someone who id had a rather
unpleasant falling out with, randomly called me up the other day to apologise. it was quite unexpected, because whilst i was pretty cut about it.. id sorta given up on reconciliation, cos i have lost faith in mankind. so i guess this gives the humans a bit of hope =)
still we live our lives, as if all this stuff survivesi think my life is too boring to even blog about, im bored typing about it. =p
ive started skating again.. sorta. im basically starting again. the only thing i can do is drop in, ive forgotten everything else. its heaps frustrating. i went skating a few times with lisa and her frens. only one guy is good, and he is only a bit better than me cos he can do ollies. but theyre all so keen to go all the time though. i only met them a week ago and ive been skating with them 3 times already =p
anyhoo.. we won both games of frisbee. yay. nothing all that interesting happened =p
wednesday i went skating at parra. it was scary cos i hadnt skated in forever.
thursday i went skating again.. it was frustrating
friday i went home and rested
saturday i skated in strathfield.. then again in maroubra.
sunday .. i might go skating in burwood if i can be bothered going there.
.. gah its so frustrating.. but i cant stop..
big city lifeon friday was hema's birthday thing, which started with drinks at the Vault. and then dinner at
this vegetarian place. it was ok.. cept there was no meat =p half the ppl spent the whole nite trying to do a sudoku puzzle.
i bought her this Lonely Planet book.. but i had no wrapping paper, so i drew a picture and made wrapping paper out of it =p it was pretty sketchy (literally) but i assumed she'd throw the paper out as soon as she opening it. she didnt =p
afterwards i went to cam's house where stay cos of an uber early start for canyoning. it was pretty fun.. cept i was totally freezing to a wetsuit which was too short and too loose. if i wasnt so cold i reakon it wouldve been awesome.. cos there were some fun jumps and slides around.
heres a pic of me jumping into some rather chilly water. the canyons were Twister and Rocky Creek, which we had to drive like forever on heaps sketchy dirt roads to get to. cam's audi didnt enjoy it very much =p
sunday i played some basketball at cherrybrook. and watch some skaters and blading ripping up the park there. the bladers were playing horse, where one guy would do a trick and the others got a letter if they couldnt match it. and one guy did this trick which he called the Porn Star grind =p others did 360s n such.. one guy did a huge acid drop where he jumped off a rail. and these were like 14 yo kids =p
.. today i went to the gym.. *yawn*
draining..so frisbee was on last nite.. and i managed to play no games. div4 was a friendly.. and i pretty much stayed on the bench the whole time. i played 2 points and one only lasted 2 throws =p i think we won though.
after much discussion about location, we ended up at meadowbank for div3.. only to find the lights were broken so we couldnt play anyways. instead we got to practice amongst swarms of mosquitoes =p
.. today i gave blood. it took like forever. the lady wasnt happy when i had filled out yes in the "major surgery" and "cancer" sections of the questionaire =p she was like "id better check with a doctor first". but it was all cool. and i now have a rather sore arm and a cool looking bandage =) afterwards i got juice.. and a hotdog.. and a sudoku puzzle. how exciting.
