lots of fun


Hey so i just chucked in some pics of a misty morning the other week
anyways here goes
so its 11 45 am on a monday morning.
Im sat in our kitchen drinking tea with kyler and Georgia has just rolled in for the first time in about a week.
They are infuriated about the lack of the graffiti wall
(story goes like this the building opposite us is owned by our landlord and it has a giant wall and a local artist said if i paint it then no one else will tag it so it was done all nicely with flowers and flow and looked real good but now its been painted over just plain beige so we give it a week before it gets tagged)
so ive had a great time since i last posted
i got paid
paid off my bills and stuff and went out a few times and am back to square one
but im loving life
we (kyler and myself) had a great few days where we hung out watched movies went hiking had beers had people come hang and got more beers
this culminated in friday night. We started off a little bit hungover from thursday and didnt get a lazy morning as we went and worked at our friends construction site to help him out as they had a day of taking concrete forms down and clearing up in the rain.originally i wasnt going to be there but i get a call after 4 hours of sleep thinking to myself hmmm i didnt set an alarm clock hahah. so Yeh worked from 9 till about 2 then we headed into downtown to do some stuff.
This stuff got done but then we got a call saying that Current Swell ( a reallllly good victoria band) were playing a free gig right now at uvic (the uni in town) so we busted off up there to go see it.
they were really good
then another smaller band took over and we just chilled and watched while in the sunshine and the great thing was we kept bumping into our mates who none of were students except for jayce
was great.
The thing was we found out Current Swell were playing at the S.U that night for 15 bucks a ticket so we got on it !
so we went home got a few beers in chilled out for a few hours then headed out to our buddys house for some pre drinking in a group of like 20 of us
then to the concert and had a greatttt time
afterwards we headed to the student bar for a couple and while there we got chatting to these nice chicks who were partying back at theirs
so we got amongst it there
woke up at like 8 am being were the hell are we as my phone rang and work asked if i could be there at 2 i was just yes im there!
turned out we were literally the other side of the city from were we had left kylers truck
nightmare
especially as we didnt have any bus money
( and now georgia is taking pics of our new kettle) its a whistling kettle me and kye got sick of boiling pans for morning tea lol
so we trekked it accross town stopping in on a few mates on the way for much needed coffee and bathroom breaks lol
when we did eventually get home sustance was needed so hash browns sausages and kylers amazing avacado tomato and scrambled egg on toast was devoured by the pair of us
he got to go sleep then while i went to work
was good
then just chilled out for the rest of the weekend
went for a run on sunday and thats about it
just had a call from work and ive got major shifts all this week major result from 2 shifts to only today and saturday off im stoked!
anyways
peace out guys

m i a

hey guys
dont worry im not missing in action
i am actually alive
still living in victoria still in vic west with kyler but georgia is moving out at the end of the month but her brother is moving in so we'll probably see her a load more than we do now
so whats been happening since last time
well this weekend me and claire went camping at china beach we had a great time
we rocked up on friday at about 11.30. Pitched kylers tent which we had borrowed.
Eventually got it up and then we just had a few beers and watched the stars for a few hours.
We even saw a few shooting stars it was amazing
The nice female ranger told us about the fact we were in bear and couger teritory though and so me and claire both didnt have the greatest nights sleep
Also it was freeeezing im talking about hat hoodie pj's tracky bottoms and socks
and it was still chilly though
then on saturday morning we hiked down the trail to the beach
and then probably spent a couple of hours exploring before we headed to jordan river to get fire wood.
we ended up going all the way to sooke and it was their autumn fayre on so we went a had a wee nosy round it
actually a bloke from summerset was playing a concert at the fayre
small world eh
then it was back home to light the fire
and have a couple of bevvies and play some cards
Claire absolutley destroyed me at 'spit' which id never played before darn scots haha
we had forgotten forks for our middle noodles so i went and borrowed a couple
Turns out these people were really nice lisa and larry they were called
when we returned the forks they asked us if we wanted to play cards with them as it was raining outside and we had just been sitting out under a waterproof blanky
it was ok though a 15 pack of lucky really helps you forget the rain
so we took a couple of luckys with us and played cards for a few hours with them
they were nice enough to say if a bear or couger did try to eat us we could crash on their floor
oh yeh and we found out kylers tent leaked
alot .....
but we had a great time and many thanks to kye for lending us his tent sleeping bag and truck to go with
what else have i been up to
oh yeh erica my wee sister has been over to stay
it was the first time id seen her since march and i was super stoked and just majorly excited to see her and we had loads of fun
we went whale watching and saw the 3 groups of local orcas all out together in a super pod
i showed her some of victoria
we hung out and yeh had a great time
also managed to score her a helicopter trip which she loved
and weve had our friend erica and her dog barcley over a few times and he loves our place now
he jumps outa the car in the parking lot runs around to our door and as soon as the doors open he goes tearing up the stairs to kylers room so he can see kyler
then we hang out and have a few beers or watch a zombie movie or maybe kung fu
weve been to thetus lake a few times as well done a little jumping in and swimming and just floating around on boats
oh and i suck at frisbee
what else has happened
been working at sportchek a bunch but theyve just cut my hours back as the summer is over
which sucks so im going to find a another job as just being there wont support me
and the season is over at kabuki
its sad that people are leaving the city for new pastures but there still is a core of people here
anyway ill try to remember what else ive dont and post soon
