Damn Shiny

Today was damn shiny. Mind you it didn't quite start out that way, but in the end I must say it was pretty sweet.
So last night we went out to the crazy party that was Courtney Place, still for the sevens, and we met two guys that we saw at Synagogue and we hit up some bars. They left came a little late, and left pretty early but they're not too bad so it was cool. We also met up with most of the other Americans primarily Zach, Oren, Will, Kawe, Sarah, and Trez (Robin and Eliza made an appearance but little more). Still it was mostly fail since, Sarah was drunk, Will and Kawe were trying to get in her pants, Oren wanted to dance, Trez wanted to go wander then fall asleep, and I don't know exactly what I wanted to do, but wanted to chill with cool people. So we kept goint back and forth and around and about, Oren ended up at a dance club, Sarah, Will, Kawe, and Zach went somewhere, and I just walked around with Trez for a bit. Then went home, and Oren came back a few minutes later, so we watched some Justice League, which was pretty great.
Then this morning the plan was to go to the picnic for the synagogue with Oren. We got a little confused about directions so wandered for a little while, and then got there. Now we thought that they'd you know be having food, maybe even meat food if we were lucky, but we weren't. So Oren really needed to eat, because if he doesn't have food for a while he gets sick, so we just ditched before even saying high to people, which is unfortunate, but health comes first every time, and Oren's a solid dude. I also felt bad cause I was the one who really wanted to go, since the prospect of Kosher food was quite tempting. So we wandered around looking for food, he got a burger, I got fish, we shared some chips so it worked out in the end.
Then we went ot the community center to get information about possibly going to Rotarua for the weekend, since I've heard it's gorgeous and has all manner of awesome sports there. One such thing is Zorbing, if you don't know what it is, it's where they put you in a giant hamster ball, and roll you down a hill! So there are some cheap hostels in the area, the bus is like $40 but it's also seven hours to get there, which sounds like such a bitch, especially since I hate long periods being couped up. But still that was just research we might find better ways of going there, and we'll look into it some more.
Then we got to the library. Oren had to drop off some books, and then we checked out the graphic novel section so I could suggest some more shit for him. So we're looking for Fables and talking about it, and this very attractive girl randomly says, "Oh, you guys like Fables?" To which I of course respond that we do indeed, like Fables, and so we start talking comic books. She's not as obsessed as I am but the girl knows her shit. So she introduced herself (Laura was her name-o), and we introduced ourselves I recommended I Kill Giants and we got talking about, well pretty much everything. Buffy, Serenity, movies, America, jobs, New Zealand. The three of us just talked for over an hour, until the library closed which was early due to it being Sunday. So we got her number and are definitely going to hang out more which is great because she is like the coolest kiwi I have met yet, and she's gonna introduce us to her friends, and it'll be very nice.
So the rest of the day was spent watching Dr. Who, Funny People and the like. Did some laundry, it was all in all good. Also for your viewing pleasure, here is a link to a blog that Oren writes http://www.nero12111.blogspot.com/
