How well did you know them? Because that's a ****ing horrible way to go. This is the first person you know who died in a ****ed up way?

Two nasty illnesses you have there.

Fortunately one of the illnesses only lasts around 24 hours.
Sadly, the other is a life time ailment, with syptoms of stress, increasing over the years. Particularly with the female variant.
Other symptoms include, feelings of extreme fatigue and apathy. And in some cases losing the will to live.
I'm told, eventually, I will be bled dry.
It's already started to happen. :(

My wife has it too. :)
If only we had practiced safe sex.

SAT's this morning

Denny's with the bros afterwards

Fighting with the Parents about going out to dinner tonight. They say no, so I'm still on the computer with a black cloud over my head.

hung around hostel because of the rain, played jenga and connect 4. won both, the dutch guy sucks at those games. then went into town to put credit on my phone, so i can call home and tell them that yes, i am alive, and no, i did not fall off a cliff, drown in the sea, or get kidnapped by crazy mutants while hiking. went back to hostel, ate leftover thai takeaway, updated my travel journal, booked a hostel in picton for tomorow night, then came down here to answer emails and connect with friends again before going back to order pizza with everyone at the hostel. hell pizza, best pizza ever.

You live the most high paced life ever.

haha, i'm detecting sarcasm there. today i basically just hung around and did nothing. but i've been really high paced for the past 5 days or so so today and yesterday were chill out days. except last night, went out for a drink with a canadian girl i met on the hike, ended up going to a house party and then out to the bars with some local guys studying music in uni in nelson. completely random night are the best nights.

Yesterday I slept on the couch with two girls at my friend's girlfriend's house.
(It was hella uncomfortable son)
Very extremely fun though =)

Today I have to study for PSATS on Wed.

Study? PSATs? How does one go about doing that, and more importantly... why?

Went for a run this morning trying to improve the old fitness, I'll tell you tomorrow when I can't walk how well that went for me.
