out of blogger darkness

Hello world
it's me again, i have returned!

Yeah, so, lack of posting over summer, it just happens!!

I'm back in Christchurch and I love it!
Different things in Chch:
-our flat has been painted- weird colours that don't quite work together
-we have a new shower, but unfortunately the same old shower head
-I signed up to gmail
-there's 'girly' things in the windows of the old suva st flat when i bike past
-some friends have moved away, but lots are still here

: ) oh i love Chch


What did I do over summer:
-work
-Christmas/New years =fun
-road trip
-work
-cell groups
-Parachute
-had a marvelous summer

Snippets from working in Frankton (lower SES area in Hamilton):
- walking down the road with a weird guy walking behind me singing 'look at the window shopper' - and then singing most moves I made - kinda odd, but amusing!!
- asking a workmate where the nearest park was -she looked at me and said there were car parks everywhere. When i clarified that I wanted a park with grass and swings, she looked at me disbelievingly and told me I wouldn't find one in Frankton, and what would I want a park for when I can sit nice and safely in the staff room!
- my personal favourite - you know when at the end of serving a customer you say something pleasant like 'have a nice day' or 'enjoy your weekend' etc etc, this old man looked at me with real conviction and said in a meaningful voice, 'May you survive.' I was stunned, I didn't know how to reply, he was so serious and really meant it! I don't know what he wanted me to survive but I think he didn't hold much hope of my surviving it at all!! : )

Anyways, would be awesome to catch up with people now that I'm back!
Please give me a txt or something if theres something going on, just hanging out's good!! : )
