Fall '06

What a slacker Ive become to blog world!! First of all want to apologise for dropping out of the loop these past few months. I value having connections to my friends, and their lives all round the globe and I dont want to miss out on all your exciting events and dramas. Being away from ya good mates, just makes you realise how lucky you are to have em in the first place.

So heres a brief update (if anyone still looks at my blog)...
Ireland - a fucken fantastic trip. Hung with my friend Julia, we went on a mission across the country in a gangsta rental car. So much fun, Irish people are truly hilarious. Its a beautiful country, kinda reminded me of NZ a little. Also caught up with Adam and Sam in Dublin which was very cool, to party with your mates you just cant beat it.
Austria - Lisa and Martin were great hosts. We wined and dined, even did a road trip to Slovenia one day, stayed in a mountain hut. It was so interesting actually being in the middle of Europe, totally different from Canada in everyway.
Halloween - Its a big big thing over here, which is pretty funny and its mandatory to dress up as anything, doesnt have to be related to Halloween at all. My friend at work had a party so I went as Cleopatra haha here is my first self portrait, bit behind the eight ball I know but hey better late than never. Also what do you think about the wig, should I get my haircut like that with a fringe? Im feeling ready for a new hairstyle...any comments/suggestions would be appreciated (Michelle your expert opinion please)
Birthday - I feel seriously old and grown up. Nah it was a good day, went out for lunch with the work crew. They got me a robe (I had been eyeing it up for a while). Jase got me some ice-skates, Ive been wanting to go iceskating since i got here. there are heaps of natural open air rinks but its only just getting cold enough for them to freeze. So lets hope I can still skate, I remember thinking I was da bomb when I was 10 but not so sure that will be the case now....
Jase NYC - Jase met up with Justin Mercer for a mini tour of NYC. They did all the usual touristy stuff, had some mad nights out, yarning to total randoms (Jases favourite past time) The highlight was going to the comedy club where Seinfeld performs standup.

Otherwise life is cruising along in TO. Work is going really well, its full on busy most of the time, which Im starting to get used too. The people are great, total clowns, keep me amused which is fab. Hopefully switching over to being a consultant in January, so will get to manage the client side of the business which Im excited about. Been out rampaging a little, cant compete with the rest of ya really, but do go out for drinks a lot, always to new places and starting to get a few pals which is always a good thing. The bars all close at 2am which I still cant get used too. Concord Dawn is playing this weekend, Jase and I are going to check it out, will be first dnb experience here in Canada so will be interesting no doubt, wonder if it will be like London styles, full of hoochie guys haha (who would have guessed its like the opposite of NZ)

Anyhow hope everyones good and looking forward to the holidays, Im not going to say merry christmas yet coz I will be back on the blog before then, and i encourage the other slackers to get back on the bandwagon, its worth it!

Peace and Love
