OR

get it?

fond farewells...

david, oh david.

a lovely man, dare I say a good friend is leaving the township of wanaka today. not really of his own accord, but because he is being deported.

*weep*

tonight we celebrated his gentle giantness, sense of humor, appreciation for women's clothing and his amazing ninja skills (aka The Ginga Ninja).

i enjoyed meeting david, and here's to hoping that someday hopefully we will reunite in an amazing place, lick each other's bowls clean, eat fancy meals, be penpals, and go camping again.

miss you already,

love colleen

OPEN SEASON

Treble Cone (local mountain)

Mount Fuji (foreign mountain)

The season has started, snow has fallen and I am happy.

I wasn't sure why I was sticking around NZ... but now I've figured it all out. Wanaka is a winter gem. A snowboard bum's fantasy... and I am going to live it up!

I am poor as a bum, but I've got all my gear sorted out (thanks to debbie) ((shout out)) and a season pass in my hand (thanks to work).

GOALS:

- land 360*

- learn how to manual

- not hurt myself

- bonus points for lovely riding style

WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP

Handsome furs...

Today I picked up a hitchhiker on my way home from Queenstown named Matt. Matt was lovely, 30 years old, escaping england and his job as a lawyer to travel the world, go on safaris, climb mountains and thumb rides.

The trip was short, only fifty minutes long, but within that amount of time, we discovered we were both reading the exact same self-help book at Arty Bee's Bookstore in Wellington 2 weeks ago. I couldn't go through with buying it, I thought "I am too young for this shit," and was mildly embarrassed by the whole thing, luckily Matt bought it, and now when he has finished it he is sending me the book!

It's a small weird world.
