see what you get from some indecision?
i popped into the local STA TRAVEL branch today and found out that only one seat was available on 3/28, and then the only other day was 4/4, if i wanted to move my flight back. if i didn't change it, i'd be leaving 4/7. i decided to think about it before making the decision, and before i knew it, it was 5pm, the office was closed, and i can't see them until monday. (it's saturday here.) so i decided to bite the bullet and head to the south island, via a NZ$150 ferry, with my car, and take a tiki tour of the s. island. i hope to sea kayak a few days in the national park, and walk on a glacier, maybe visit a friend and some other cool locales. but this isn't what i originally wanted to do. it's probably what's best as i did fork over a lot of money to fly here, who knows when i'll do it again, and do i REALLY want to go and live with my parents again? grass is greener, always, in my head.

currently i'm in wellington, the lord of the rings capital of the world. the world premiere was here and for NZ$195 i can take a tour of the film sites around this city. uhh...no thanks. i think i could manage it by myself.

it is the weekend, and i'm so jaded about going out and drinking alcohol, any amount. i figure, i've spent the last six months essentially staying out late every friday and saturday night. so as this is my vacation, i'm going to relish sitting around, watching tv, reading and writing. it's OK. i'm not 18 and looking to get pissed (drunk) and hook up. not that i really was into it at 18, either.

so in short, here i am stuck on the other side of the world, doing nothing but having several lazy days in a row.
