the past 2 weeks have been pretty sweet! me and Portia are now officially together and I couldn't be happier, the jobs going well and im starting to get used to the role I'm now in. A fair bit has happened in the past 2 weeks, but I've been quite mild I reckon... especially compared to previous weeks where it's been a non stop party.
I've spent most of the time moving into my place in Parnell and I actually feel really settled there, In Zest I never felt like it was my home but I do here.
Most of my time off has been spent with Portia. We went out to Mission Bay one evening to get some fish and chips on the beach front and then had some ice cream, it's wierd that we've only really just started going on dates... completely the wrong way around haha. I don't see her as much 'cos she is living in South Auckland but we both get weekends off which is cool. The Frenzi crawl stopped for a couple of weeks but for one of them we had the 'Stray-mazing race' which was quality! It was another travel industry night and we all had to dress up as stops on the stray bus. Me, Mel, Mark, JD and Lauren got some sky dive suits from SkyDive Taupo and went out as them, while the rest of the Nomads lot went as Park rangers. It was free booze at the stray office then a time trialed kryptic clue race round the CBD. All the clues were poems and the last line was the clue. 1st was something like "a street fit for a king, where you can go to hear the world sing"... Queen St. and Globe Bar. We had to do a shot of vodka on entry then to gain our next clue had to throw jandals into a bucket. It was so funny watching about 80 people legging it up and down Queen St. dressed up and tackling eachother to get their first! 2nd clue was something to do with an animals humps which was obviously the fat camel. We got their and had to do a conga around the pool table chugging a glass of wine... easy! not many people did and had to forfeits ranging from legging it up to the 6th to doing a striptease on the pool table. 3rd clue was something to do with a moari tree which we nailed straight away... Puhutukawa Bar. We had to a jagerbomb on entry then a wheelbarrow race up the street. Next bar was something to do with a century ago and was 1885 where the party was held. No1 had our I.D so we came 2nd cos we had to wait outside but got in eventually and greeted with a frozen mojito on entry then free heineken and pinot gris all. I don't remember much apart from the park rangers coming in half an hour after cos Hoey had sent them to the ice bar haha.
At the weekend it was Ed's birthday so we all went to the zoo were pretty much everyone except me and portia was tripping on acid, funny to watch like. we got so much banter though cos this was the first time we were noticeable together in public, i did warn her she would get it if she was me haha It was a good day but we were knackred so when everyone else went to the park for NZ's legal marujuana spoking day, we had a nana nap! That night we all went round to ed's for a little party but left early to see Hannah Montana off at the camel.
Pub crawl was back on on thursday but yeah fucked if i can really remember it. We went to Bungalow 8 2nd where we kept ordering these fancy cinammon flamed shots, pretty cool bar like. 3rd was forte and globe 4th. don't know how i got home but I pissed myself a little bit in the queue for the toilet at either forte or globe haha.
That Friday I took Portia to Mexicali for a meal then to The comedy club to watch the late and live show. Its NZ comedy month so there were some shit hot acts like Ben Hurley Mc'ing and Pete Johansson finishing the evening. such a good evening and I can't wait to go back again! The saturday we just vegatated at my place watching movies then on Sunday she took me to Takapuna for the markets but we missed it so we had a little walk round and bought some stuff for my room then she treated me to a new pair of jeans and a shirt... winner, winner, chicken dinner! how did I get this lucky hey?
Apart from that there hasnt been too much news except for my general managers cert.
I had my interview on Tuesday and passed it but they have to oppose my application because my Visa paperwork isnt clear enough. the next step is a public hearing in wellington in january but I can operate under the title of Temporary Bar Manager until then. They said all I have to do is email them once I've got a work permit or extension then they will withdraw their opposition or email them when I'm leaving the country and my application will be withdrew. Confusing but atleast I'm legal now haha
