oh jergz if u are gonna be spending a significant amount of time in welli, there is this way cool place u should explore at night: it's an old dental nurse school or dorm or something, way up on top of mt. vic. not sure what's there now, but about 8yrs ago it was being rented out as like 'apartments' (more like big big bedrooms). the whole place is really creepy but awesome. i was briefly dating a guy who lived up there, the wing he lived in was like a hospital ward.

poor ruby, i know that feeling very well.
― estela, Saturday, 10 October 2009 06:07 (fourteen years ago) link
i will give wellington a kiss for you, ruby, and leave a present on your behalf, the nature of which is to be revealed at a later time
― lxy, Saturday, 10 October 2009 09:09 (fourteen years ago) link
@rubyxp: not so expensive compared to aus, though, it seems really cheap to me. exchange rate is much better for us, too
― lxy, Saturday, 10 October 2009 09:11 (fourteen years ago) link
hai will check out that hilltop creepy place, thanks for the tip. will probably be in wellington a month or three. why would i leave when december promises a date with the whole Estela family, incl F.

how weird could it be for mr. sc0rp10, if he recognizes me. it was only moments. i'll not talk the next time, either.

l&p really is amazing. good for preventing car sickness too.
i'm so happy you love nz!! <3 <3 <3 the old cliche about not knowing what you have to till it's gone is so true :(
lxy: i thought shopping is aus was CHEAP! it was when i visited there a few years ago.
do you think you'll get to visit new plymouth/taranaki? i recommend it: you can drive up the mountain and go for a nice walk! view is amazing.

had the worst dinner of the trip tonight
what did you eat and how was it garnished.
― estela, Sunday, 11 October 2009 11:07 (fourteen years ago) link
pasta garnished with onions and salmon. salad garnished with olives and kiwis. a gardenburger made of potatoes. drinks where ginger ale replaced soda&lime. disaster all around
― jergins, Sunday, 11 October 2009 11:40 (fourteen years ago) link
not olives, grapes! with tomatoes and peppers! disaster all the way around.
― lxy, Sunday, 11 October 2009 11:48 (fourteen years ago) link
i kinda liked l&p, i hope f. doesn't think less of me for it
― lxy, Sunday, 11 October 2009 11:59 (fourteen years ago) link
if he does i will do a moonlight flit.
that dinner sounds horrible but not surprising. welcome to the sandbox, jabba hands.
― estela, Sunday, 11 October 2009 12:49 (fourteen years ago) link
i don't like or understand a mixture of pasta and fish. it's ok with shrimp or mussels or clams but not fish.
― spite n ease (harbl), Sunday, 11 October 2009 13:28 (fourteen years ago) link
salmon does well with pasta!
i wouldn't want like, trout pasta, though.
