Yeah, I'm definitely doing paper A. And I think I'll sign up for paper B as well, because I can always opt out of it if I change my mind, and not the other way around.

I ended up just voting to keep MMP. Was glad to see they did actually bother to clarify their stupid ads on the voting paper, too. That was like, my favourite bit. The most active participation in our system of government most of us have, and so they give us the most irreverent pen in the world to do it with. Or at least the secondmost: if it had been an orange ministamp in the shape of a tick, that would have been perfect. He was in the Auckland Uni debating club public debate thing ("One Law For All: Race Relations in New Zealand", along with Shane Jones and one of the law school lecturers), and he was pretty good. The former supreme court judge who adjudicated was better, though - awarded Pita 80 points for the strength of his speech, then took them all away for going into government with National Oh, I have a situation I wanted some advice on - I want to take two papers over summer school, because one of them is only being offered over summer school and it sounds epic, and the other one I couldn't fit in this year. Now, the one I couldn't fit in - paper A - I need as a prerequisite to a first semester paper next year. Paper B would go towards my major, but isn't in itself essential. There are like, 8 hours or whatever a week for Paper A, but one of those hours clashes with paper B. Should I take paper B, despite the clash? I'm proficient with paper A stuff enough that it shouldn't matter, but then, two papers over summer school seems to be regarded as a demanding kind of undertaking when I've talked to people about it. But paper B sounds amazing. Yes. Thoughts?

Oh oh oh this sounds sooo much like my first flat.  I ended up moving out because of all the issues, even though my flatmates were super cool. Poor you  is it a nice flat? It might have partly been that the media haven't really been giving him much coverage, other than in an I hate John Key capacity, as well.  That being said, I went to the Labour party caucus thing the other year and Jim Anderton chided them for their whole anti-National, as opposed to pro-Labour, stance.  Does anyone else have issues with the referendum though? Like, the way it's advertised, it sounds like even if you want to keep MMP you're forced to vote for an alternative. I tried to find out more about that online, but all that happened is I learnt a bunch about said alternatives. Nor can I navigate the igovt site. Maybe this is just due to my untechyness though.

I think they have those ones as well, but my uni seems to have quite a penchant for like, jazz musicians. The creation and conditioning thereof. I've gone to those ones, because secretly I want to be Erroll Garner
Oh. Economics. That sounds so dry. Poor you. Nice of him to let you out early though. I don't think anyone would go to a lecture that late at my uni... I had law til 5pm this semester and though it was a class of like 200, by the end of the semester, there'd only be about 60 people dotted across the lecture hall. What else are you taking other than economics?
Also, hope you had a nice Thanksgiving the other week or whenever it was.
-
Oh lord, that really is terrible
. And to think we used to all be online every day. I'm okay, just studying. Pretty much all I do now is learn about stuff I don't enjoy learning about. And cover my rent and power bills by occasionally working. And argue with my flatmate. Growing up, it is the bees knees.
How are you though? Moved overseas? Gone to uni? Other things?
-
What do you have to do til 9? That seems kind of retarded. Unless it's some kind of mystical trackish kind of a thing which I wouldn't know anything about. I don't go to anything at uni if it's later than 6pm, with the exception of the Tariq Ali lectures earlier this year, and the concert nights at the music school where the madly gifted final year music students have recitals.
I can't listen to any music on this machine because it's on its last legs. And if it's anything like Stadium Arcadium, I don't think I want to anyway
I love my rhcp most at like, Californication stage. The balance of that album is superb, and unrivalled by any of their things either before or since (admittedly I'm not that well acquainted with Stadium Arcadium in the first place, because I disliked the singles...)
-
Don't worry about it - I can only come here in 6 week bursts anyway.
Hey back. <3
-
Omg I haven't been able to write back until now. Are you at college yet? Today? Something like that? Do you have any idea how old that makes me feel?
I hope your summer passed beautifully, and I've also been dying to say for ages that they've started playing The Walking Dead over here, which makes me think of you.
Less than three.

What most annoys me about the mass thread renaming is that it fails to take into account the cultural clueish type things which were present in the old titles. Or at least in ours. When I found my way here, I saw a native species in the title, and, would you believe, the thread was indeed a New Zealand one! There are a lot, seriously. I got sooo lost several times, because I'd get my Glen Edens and Glendenes all twisted up. It was summer then, though, so it was okay weather to be wandering down unfamiliar roads and streets then. I am enlightened, though the cityness, like many mysterious Auckland things (like your buses that decide every now and again when I'm in a rush somewhere not to turn up for an hour) makes my rather logical soul protest. Congratulations! Kind of?
-
I'm sorry
I don't have a computer anymore - my mum gave mine away when I wasn't home - and the uni ones aren't really conducive to skyping.

Ooh that is weird! I usually don't look, because I'm usually too broke, but yes, there were these very heavy Star Wars rings at one of the stalls where it looks like they sell more kind of artisan jewellery and trinkets and stuff, near the second hand book stall? They were epically solid, possibly because they were designed for men, but as I have man hands, this was great news for me. I didn't get one though, because it turned out to be way cheaper to get a copy of something by Colette from the book stall. At the Henderson mall (I think. If that mall is in Henderson, rather than in X Lynn (and why are there so many different Lynns and Glens in Auckland? It's so confusing!)), when my mate and I went to the movies, the usher asked me for ID to an R13, then totally freaked out, when, not thinking, I gave her my uni one. Because the usher herself was still at high school Kitty and your sister are both very right, though Also, that really is an insane waste of crumpets. Especially like... I know that a bunch of crumpets aren't enough to alleviate the horn of Africa famine, but in light of that kind of global backdrop it's kind of obscene, rather than the stupid "food art" "mosaics" of "famous people" usually are.

Eventually I will, but first I am going to find and acquire every season/book of a:tla, which is the best cartoon to have emerged from the last decade, though the movie is such a sad piece of shit.
Mine was pretty casual, because I've put off my SUPER HUGE OMGWTFBRAINEXPLODINGFROMTHEAWESOMESAUCEOFIT 21st until Summer, because I cba organising it from another city halfway through the university year. I made a sadly normal but still yum chocolate cake and iced it all prettily, and then forgot candles so made a wish on a tealight. I got clothes and some money from some people, and a mug with a photograph of my nephew's face on it, which is the most epic thing ever, because it makes me indescribably happy to drink tea out of my nephew's smiling, baby, porcelain head, and my brother refused not to get me a present on my actual birthday, even though he's willing to get me anything up to a car this summer.
Yes. How's your summer generally going?
-
Thank you both for the birthday wishes! Not sure how I go with the womanliness though - despite being so tall, Auckland bus drivers quite willingly give me child tickets I've put off my official 21st until the summer, because I'm too lazy for the logistics involved in planning a party in Wellington from Auckland. Also, this is amazing, and totally out-cools the Star Wars rings they sell in the quad(?) at those Thursday markets. Also, how are you all?
-
Thank you!
At some point within the next year and a bit, my rich Melbourne cousins are shouting me to Melbourne and when they do, WE CAN HANG OUT AND IT WILL BE AWESOME.
-
I'm pretty sure you got me first last year, so now we're kind of square
Anyway, hope you got epic things. Things being the only reason anyone should ever celebrate birthdays, ever, of course.
-
Man, sorry for not replying due to the loss of my internet, but anyway. It is at this point in time my birthday, which means that within the next 24 hours (less, in reality) it will be your birthday as well.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BIRTHDAY TWIN
Have a wonderful day, year, and etc.
<3

I find it soooo much easier to be myself when I stop caring about my awkward personality. I make it someone else's problem instead
Is it based on the book The Road by Cormac McCarthy? Because if it is, then I can believe it must be depressing.
I will swap you a depressing movie for another depressing movie you should never watch: Imagining Argentina. It put me off going to Argentina for life.
EDIT - and because that's sad, I also recommend you see Fallen, if you haven't already. Because anything with the Rolling Stones and Denzel Washington in it is too badass to not watch.
-
I'm happy for you. Clear skin does make you feel way better. Like, at least that's one less thing to worry about.
My fav bit is the Bill Murray cameo
And yes you have. I still haven't seen it though

Happy Birthday Oren! I came up for law, so I've been here now since the last day of Feb Being in papers with people who're 17/18 (you can't cross-credit aegrotat passes, which is how I passed most of my papers at Vic, so I pretty much have to restart my BA) makes me feel infinitely relieved to no longer be a teenager... though I get ID'd at the movies up here, and child tickets on the bus, so I don't think that translates physically very well... whatever. It saves me money. And thank you both for the beach advice! Even though it's late autumn... I don't care. I grew up in Wellington, damnit. That means that your beaches in winter are what I'm used to in midsummer.
-
Oh yeah? I like the way the Auckland wharf, unlike Wellington's, still functions as a proper wharf, but that means I'm more apprehensive about wandering around down there. I go to the ferry terminal when I go stay with my cousin's on Waiheke, and I've visited my mum's posh friends who have an apartment on the viaduct, but other than that I steer clear. Also, if I were to be living in the CBD, but wanted to go to the beach, which beach could I go to?
-
It's just that I'm finding myself bored out of my brain, but too exhausted to properly commit myself to studying, so I feel guilty whenever I'm not at uni, but then I get there and muck around/stare blankly into space/struggle not to fall asleep, and I leave again. I've wandered around the domain for hours now, because whenever I'm not at uni, I put off going home. I'm too broke to text anyone back, so I think everyone might think I'm totally standoffish atm, also. It did kind of feel like post-grad reassertion day on Monday when I was up there
. And to think we used to all be online every day.
