How are you doing?
And have a good day/night!
I bonded with someone over Star Wars today.
It felt so good.
It started out as a general 'what would be a good name for a cat?' conversation - Anakin, Kenobi, and Wookie are all serious contenders - but somehow then morphed into something so much more.
She actually out-geeked me at one point when she accused one of our fellow workers of being part of the Trade Federation, but I totally redeemed myself when I said that actually this person was a Sith lord in disguise.
DON'T JUDGE ME, OKAY?
Thursday
Thursday was amazing. We had to finish packing for our overnight we were going to do and then we got that shit done we had to go over to the rc to get our gear sorted. We had to put our stuff into water proof barrels so that, obvioulsy, the struff inside wouldn't get wet. Then we had to get the canoes and tie them to the trailer and get the paddles and put them in the van and get our life jackets and store them in there too. All our shit was sorted because that night we were going to go camping on a small island. We had heaps of time left so we went to the high ropes course to do some stuff. Before high ropes we had a talk iin the dining hall and Mark pulled out this tin of cat food and was like "When I moved in to my house some people left a tin of cat food. And I wouldn't make you do something I'm not prepared to do myself. So, if you're keen to eat some cat food grab yourself a spoon". And he only three people ate some. And Mark. And then after he pulled the label off and it was just refried beans. But Mark was so good at acting, aye, because the faces he was pulling made it look so real and it was just real funny. Then we had this talk on perception and stuff. Anyway, as we were harnessing up for rock climbing and stuff Beanie Boy came along. We just had a good old time talking to him while people were climbing up the rock climbing wall. His name was Owen and he's a britsh boy and he had an accent and it was really cute and I really really liked him. We found out that he's a volunteer taking a break from uni in england and he's been in new zealand for about a month and a half and he's going to be here for 6 months. Shock horror, he's never had pineapple lumps. IF YOU COME TO NEW ZEALAND, THE ONE THING YOU HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE ARE PINEAPPLE LUMPS! So I said to Mark, who was up on the top thing I was like "Bro, you gotta hook your boy up with some pineapple lumps" and he was just like "but then he'll just get fat" and Vaeata was like "but thats good. He needs some fat on him" and then Mark was just like "Whatever." We started copying what Owen was saying and trying to do it in a British accent like his and then Owen was like "They're mocking me because of my accent, Mark." and Mark was just like "Stop flirting with Owen you guys!" and we totes were. And then Owen went up the wall and I was just like 'dat ass'. As people were going up the wall Owen jumped off a little platform thing was just this big swing and he was so cute and it was just so cute. Too cute. When he was back down I still hadn't gone up and neither had Ariana or Vaeata and those two. They just like followed him wherever he went and asked him the most ridiculous things. Oh, and we all had to wear red helmets and I put Arianas beanie over mine so it looked like I had a huge head and OWEN CALLED ME RUSSIAN RASTA. So that nickname stays. Anyway, when it was my turn to climb up I got to the top and I was real keen to do the big swing and then when I got there I was just shit fucking scared. The boys counted me down and I jumped and I just started swearing my head off. It was so funny. We asked Owen if he could swear and he was like 'No, it's bad for your vocabulary' and I was like "It's the only thing in my vocabulary". And he laughed and I was just like Bro. When everyone had come down and stuff Owen had to go and Mark was like "Say: Bye Owen" and we were all just like "Bye Owen!" and Mark was like "Say: We love you Owen" and everyone stayed quiet, probably because we did all love Owen. J-saying. Anyway, it was about time we had to go to the lake so we drove like we were heading for Turangi and took a turn and ended up at Lake Otamangakau. We had to canoe across the lake and that shit was cool as. Me and Grace were in a canoe and I was at the front and we were pretty much rowing champs. Vaeata and Ariana were all of ten metres away from the boat ramp and they capsized and that shit was so funny! We got to this little island on the other side of the lake and that's where we were staying the night. We had to pitch up our tent and stuff and Mark was all "I'm going to go around the other side of the island and use the little boys room" and everyone was just like "You gonna do a poo?!" and he was just like "I'll be 5 minutes and the tent should be done" He took off, we tried to get the tent up and we were failing miserably. Mark was gone like 30 minutes and the tent still wasn't up and Georgia was like "What if something happened to him?" and I was just like "Guise, he's basically Bear Grylls or he's probably just hiding around the corner or in the bushes or something. He's testing us, guise." And then he just casually strolled up in his canoe and the tent wasn't done so he just laughed at us. For our dinner we had to make this big ass motherfucking slab of mince thing to have in our tortillas and the cooking part was funny. And then we just had some good old bonding time. Mark has had a lot of life experience. He's 30 years old and he used to design/invent biscuits for the Cookie Bear company and Stripes biscuits were basically his idea. He'd been married twice, his first marriage ending in divorce and his late wife dying from cancer. :( We had dinner and stuff and then went to sleep in the tent. Mevia had this big as stash of lollies and shit that she bought with her and because there were six of us in our tent and only four in the other and she shared them with us because we were all squashed and shit. And then thirty minutes later or something and the guys in the other half of the tent were just like "guys ariana is really cold" and then they got all worried thinking she had hypothermia and shit. Maybe overreacting, idk. But then Georgie and Mevia went and told Mark and he was just like 'warm her up, boil some water' and stuff. I was pretty keen to sleep considering we had to get up 5 in the morning. Anyway, that went on for some time and then we were just talking, chilling and stuff. And fell asleep. And that was Thursday.
my mom works as a PSW (basically a nurse for the elderly) and i just realized we had a very detailed conversation about which stool softener works best for them
