I'm having a cocktail night for my birthday next Saturday night (7th Oct). I don't know how many people actually read this blog but if you happen to read this and you know me then you are quite welcome to come. Bring around $5 to contribute to cost of alcohol. Starting at 7.30pm at my flat. Will head into town later for anyone who wants to come. Please let me know if you intend to come (and if you will be drinking cocktails or non-alcoholic) so that I can get the right amount of stuff. Oh and feel free to invite anyone who knows me who might like to come (I will send out an email/txt people too so some people will hear other ways).
I think that's all the important details :)

Night life in Franz
So on this incredibly exciting saturday night i'm sitting in front of a computer at the youth hostel in Franz Josef. We were planning to go to the pub, have a few drinks and have some fun. But it appears that the night life here is non-existent. Weird seem as there are heaps of backpackers around. so instead we resorted to coming back here to check emails and such. A bit of a let down really :(
Today we left Christchurch at about twelve after I finally got home from work. It took about six hours to drive over here. We stopped at a few places on the way and took it slow but it was definitely good to arrive when we finally did.
Tomorrow we have an early start. Off to Lake Matheson for sunrise. Then to fox glacier briefly. Back to Franz glacier to have an explore. Then we want to be leaving here by two to be back over the Arthurs Pass road before dark. it sounds tiring just writing about it. Luckily I have another day off after that.
Hope other people's saturday nights are more exciting than mine!

Things I like about my flatmates
I have five flatmates. I don't care if two of them don't actually live in the flat anymore. They are still my flatmates. Here's some of the things I like about my flatmates (in no particular order):
1. They don't mind when you invade their rooms and lie on their bed/sit on their floor and just talk
2. They bake and cook yummy food
3. They give me chocolate
4. They participate in bathroom polling
5. I can be silly with them
6. They make me feel special
This list is much shorter than I expected. But that's because the things I like most about my flatmates are things that are hard to put into words. The baking and chocolate and other stuff like that isn't really that important. I like my flat because even though it's a crusty old cold student flat with falling down curtains it's my home and it's the people who live their who make it that :)
