Summer And A Half: New Years

As I said in my previous post, a lot has happened this summer (NZ) a bit too much to fit into one post so I said I'd spread it out over a few posts. So part one of my summer and a half is here with my holiday over new years.

I wish I could find the pictures and videos that were taken over the new year holiday but until someone gets a copy from my brother over in aussie (his fiance took all the photos) I won't be able to upload any. :( I hope that I'll get them soon so people seeing this later will be able to see them and share in their awesomeness.

So into the pictureless run down. We drove up north to a camp site about an hour north of Whangarei on the 29th. The weather was horrible and we were lucky for a patch of dryness to pitch our tent (hehe). So from the 29th to the morning of new years eve (yay my birthday). After about 10am it stopped raining and decided to belt down with sunshine, so much me and all my mates got burnt it was typical New Zealand wheather, pissing down one moment then scorching you the next. Adding to the burn my sister in law didn't pick us up from the beach on her way through because her and my other brother's girlfriend (affore mentioned brother's fiance, he proposed to her just after the new year period) had put up a big banner saying happy birthday, got me a crown and lay, leigh, ley??? the hawaiin flowery thing you put around your neck which I had to wear all night and a whole bunch of balloons containing little notes with dares I had to do on them for my 17th birthday.

Ok so heres how the balloons work. When someone popped one I would have the choice to do the dare or have a piece of clothing removed chosen by the balloon popper and then the balloon popper ould get a flick to flick me in the crotch, I wasn't allowed to replace the clothing either. So some big stakes up for a simple dare, what I thought was going to be some simple dares. Take in mind I did them all :). There were over like 15 dares so I can't remember them all, I've just put in the ones I can remember.

Dare 1: Serinade a girl
- I play guitar so I just played a jazz version of I'll take you to the candy shop that I made up, I sung it to my friends mum and she knew what was going on so she was cool with it

Dare 2: Snort a line of raro
- raro is like a drink mix you mix with water, it was terrible I could smell pineapple for ages

Dare 3: Kiss a girl
- like 8 stepped forward, no I'm kidding. I'll leave this with you though. I got it done :)

Dare 4: Do a tequila stuntman
- this thing has to be a concoction of the freakn devil. I had to snort the salt (watsup with them and making me snort things right?) squirt lemon in my eye then do the tequila shot. I'm really guttered I don't have the video of  me doing this because I do have it and its really funny watchn me do it.

Dare 5: Everytime someone says happy new year scream at the top of your voice 'cockadoodledoo'
- this one was mroe annoying than anything, after a while people caught on and just played me like a puppet, it was funny though I was walking past someone I had no affiliation with and just said happy new year to them, they then replied. cockadoodledoo. It was funny :D

Dare 6: do a streak down the beach after midnight.
- yup this one did happen, I ran don the beach after midnight naked, because I didn't trust any of my mates with my clothes I ran with them under my arm, I actually lost my underwear along the way but because my brothers were shooting fireworks at me (thanks guys) and you know the whole being naked thing I didn't stop to get them. All in good fun though. I did however find them 2 days later totally buried under sand, gave em a wash and they were all good. :)

So that was my new years, we stayed up a few days more with great weather and then came happy after a good lil holiday.

so that was the first and probably most exciting installment to my summer and a half, the others will be more updates and opefully not as long, this one definitely had some length haha.

Summer And A Half

Its winding down to the end of summer (in NZ) with only about a month left before it starts to head off into winter again and this has been a summer I will always remember. If you've been reading this blog (if anyone has been reading this blog) you may be wondering where I've been, well this post will pretty much sum it up for you.

First up there was my Dad who had an accident in early December, he's still live and kicking but it did ruin his holiday and leave the family a bit frayed for awhile, elaborated version

here!

And here!

I also went away up north for a lil holiday which I hope I can elaborate on in a further post as it deserves one, I went away with my brothers and since my birthday is on New Years eve they threw together a whole set of dares I had to do for my 17th birthday, it made for a real fun night and end to the year, while we're at it, happy new year everyone.

I've also had my wisdom teeth out two days ago so now I look like an overgrown hamster as I've not been able to groom to my face and my cheeks are all swollen from the procedure, it can only get better from here. I hope.

So summer down under in NZ has been pretty memorable with everything that's happened and I know I will never forget this one especially as I'm going into my 7th form year at school, lucky last before I go off to university.

So all the best wishes for everyone and their new year, I hope to get back posting regularly soon but things are hectic around here and I'm really lazy too so see everyone soon hopefully!

Exams Are Over!

HEY PEOPLE!

I'm back after a big break, and it's actually quite a sad note. I am on holidays now and my exams have finished yet yesterday my dad was painting my brothers house when the trestle they were standing on broke. He fell and has broken his ankle severely and his back as well. He has a fractured spine yet the spinal nerve wasn't damaged and he can move his toes arms and they think he'll be walking with a back brace in a little while. He's in hospital and my family has been in a distressed state lately running around like headless chickens.

So what I'd like to say is stay safe this summer/winter guys (Summer in NZ) because accidents like this can easily happen my brother feels really guilty as it was his trestle and he chose to paint the house himself instead of hiring people. However no one blames my brother and we all agree it was just an accident, but if I was in my brothers position It would be hard not to feel guilty. All I can say is get well soon dad and Ben don't feel hard on yourself, Dad will be alright.

On another note, my t-shirt Idea didn't go ahead because one of the image designers never came back to me so I decided to scrap it. However I have opened a zazzle store and I'm just experimenting with things, drawings, photos yadeyayaya so something may come about from it, if I get time.

Zazzle Store!

You would expect a rather eventful post considering I've been gone so long but with all the hastle of things happening I can't say I've really had time to sit down and focus. So I'll link the couple of articles I wrote at Triond (earn money writing here). So yes I am sorry and more will come out.


Lets have a funny picture because this post is quite sad and bland.

Drivers Licence Test

Drivers Licence Test

Ok so I've been a tad absent since I got this but yay I passed my driving test! I've just had the long weekend so I've been busy at the beach and stuff like that so I've got a couple of photos for you guys!

So we went to the beach to walk around the sand dunes and give my brother (Ben) and his wife's dog a walk around the beach/river/lake that was around there.

Sand dunes and dad (peter) to the left

Dunes... again

So that was our little day at the sand dunes of the beach, I hope you liked the photos and I hope to get a few more out every now and again. I've actually got a couple more photos to show you that I've just taken during the week. Enjoy!

I was playing around with the settings on my camera to try get a nice clear photo, I finally got a semi decent on of these two daisies.

This is of a mint plant I took a photo of, I changed it to black and white but partially left the colour in the flower that was growing on it.

Taking all these photos really made me wish I had a good DSLR camera but hey I'll be happy with the digital camera I have at the moment.

So those are my photos that I've been taking recently, again I hope you've enjoyed.

As for other news, the guy who came back with a reply for the Gin & Conic shirt idea, hasn't further replied. So now I'm in the process of finding a new one because he wussed out and wouldn't reply. I might end up making my own but in the mean time while I'm still busy with exams, It's going to have to wait.

So hoped you enjoyed the photos! Remember to comment, follow, all that jazz and follow my facebook page! Over to the right there or click this big Facebook button below!

Cya guys on the flip flop later!
