I still exist, it's just that I'm in Finland at DebConf. My god I'm tired, I had far too much to drink last night and slept through all the talks today, including one I really wanted to see (Debian Women). Gr.

So I finally relented and joined up. I have a bit more time to investigate this thing since I'm a woman of leisure.
Hope the travelling is going well.

Here's a helpful hint: I am not going to approve your friend request if I've never talked to you in my life. It's usually common practice to comment a little bit first, I will generally comment back.

Niceties such as this go along way to getting your friend request accepted.

Jeez people. I feel like Elizabeth Bennet advising Mr Darcy on the correct etiquette for...

I think I just broke iTunes. I'm totally sick of that happening.

What's the good word, yo? We're gonna be rocking Bodega on October 5th. I trust you'll be there.

Well, our film made it into the regional finals. I'm such a nerd I wrote a script to check the website every 10 minutes and email me if it changed. Friday afternoon I got an email with the finalist list. So the final is tonight, 9pm. I'm kinda nervous now that we've gotten this far.

I'm trying to muster up the energy to have a...

hey congratulations to you and the rest of the crew! i saw your taem up on the finals list - how did it go last night? who won?

i'm so jealous you have a fire!
cstar:
I asked you to be on my friends list because I think you are cool, and I've never known anyone from new zealand except this camp counselor who said there were a few scattered millions of people and upwards of 80 million sheep. I've been fascinated with new zealand ever since. that and your profile seems cool.

Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, I'm sorry I'm terribly slack and haven't thanked you all individually.

Part of the reason for that slackness is that I moved house and haven't had an internet connetion at home. I have one now, whee!

The new house is great. Really, really good. A Peter Jackson film, The Frighteners, was partially set in my...

Yeah, I've met her a few times thru emma & M - we all had dinner at their place a while back and they showed me their film from the last 48hr comp.
i don't work with E or M, known them for years through my ex, and various other intertwined and incestuous (in the tiny wellington sense) channels.

~ Found a flat! It's a little two bedroom house with a woodburner, about 10 minutes walk from town, in this tiny street full of old houses and lots of green stuff for the cats.

~ Tattoo appointment on my birthday (1 week tomorrow). So SO excited.

~ Wow, I'm really tired. This weekend was mad crazy social weekend. I think the weekend coming I'll...

sounds like my neighbourhood...if it is, it gets colder.

tattoos are so much fun, i'm well underway on my new adventure - though sticking to the sheets the night of a new addition ain't so much fun or so pretty.
happy birfday, have fun
larina:
Please send tattoo pics!

I will be down in two weeks. Would love to see you.

~ How is it possible that I feel worse during the weekend than I do during the week?

~ Best weapon against winter is definitely an electric blanket.

~ We almost found a flat today but they gave it to someone else. Le sigh.

~ I badly need to get tattooed. Like, seriously. I wonder why it is that when I feel the worst the...

~ Finished The Dark Room last night. That was really by far the best of those sorts of 'escape from a room' sort of puzzles.

~ Suddenly, it's started being Winter-like. Seriously. I'm typing this before I go to work and I'm sitting in front of the heater with a cup of tea and it's freezing. Today is the first heater day of the year,...

~ Today I am utterly exhausted. Such a draining week, I could curl up and sleep for 48 hours straight.

~ Our lease has run out, which means that we can move out at any time with no notice! Yay! It also means the property managers can kick us out at any time with no notice. So, tomorrow we flathunt.

~ Should I grow my...

Yikes!! Cat piss on stearo?? You beat me, hands down!!

You're still trying to settle the flat thing? Seems like that's been going on for months!!

How you been, girl? I've not heard much from you in ages!
olsen:
Yeah....I'm not a great photographer by any means, but I like to try smile. It's actually a photoset that we shot over a year ago, and didn't think would be up to par, so we decided not to submit....and then on a whim, she changed her mind and sent it in and apparently it was up to par smile.

Yeah, Cloud 9 is where I was working....I have an open invitation to come back whenever I want to. And I do want to at some point. I would actually love to live in Welly longer term. But right now I'm trying to jumpstart my career writing musicals, and, much as I hate to be here, that requires me to be in the states. So I probably won't get to move back for another 5 years at least--whenever I feel like I can write from wherever and still have my shows considered.

You ever coming to the states? You could always crash at my place in chicago....that is, once I move into a new less-stinky flat.

Today there were topless girls walking around town with body paint that read, "This is not an invitation to rape".

Also, there are not enough hours in the day to do all the things I should be doing.

I get the topless girls =/= hot thing. Just, I dunno, even if it's not hot it's kind of hot.

Uh.

My fantastic girlfriend is not a big SG fan, but I'll see if I can talk her around.
medusaq:

~ Long time since last update, no? Since 9 December:

~ Christmas with family was good, albeit plagued with normal family stress. henry_miller arrived a few days later and we took off in the car and drove around the South Island for 5 days. Very quiet new years in the middle of nowhere with good wine.

~ The new flat still isn't great, really. The...

It's been a while, friend. How you be?

I've been up to many a variety of thing over the past few months, but nothing lifechanging. Other than starting a job, which means no more uni.

Beyond that, I'm pretty much the same.

Happy Waitangi Day!
