Location: Auckland, New Zealand
i've been told i say that a lot. say what? it's what gives me away. or so i'm told.
there's no point in bullshitting, it's 5am here in auckland and i'm well wasted.
once again all my mates disappeared and left me. you'd be proud... not pulling. not 'coz i can't but 'coz i don't want to.
wait wait, let me back up. so meg had a boyfriend. say what?
yeah yeah. he's kiwish. born in england, lived there till 10 then moved here 8 years ago. anyone catch on yet?
HE'S 18!!!!!!! yes, yes, younger than heather!! oh well. so it's been 2 weeks but in backpacker time that's like 5 months. it was all good... he aimed to please and (shhh... had the equipment to please as well) was a really cute guy. listen to me. already over him and in the past tense. no will is/was an incredible boy and treated me well but c'mon gimme my space, don't always grab my butt or expect to hold my hand or suck on my neck when i'm trying to flirt with the bartender to get us a drink.
oh well. enough of that. then again it is 5am so i can ramble about whatever i want!!
whatever. i broke up with him tonight. it's all good. actually waiting on a boy from the bar to come meet me now.
i'm trouble i swear.
so i've been busy. HONEST!! no, seriously, i have 2, yes i said 2, jobs!! what meg work? say what? ;-) yeah. so i wait
tables at 3 different cafes. they are all the same bar/cafe but 3 different
locations and as i am the best waiter (and most modest) they have, i get to work at all 3. one i have to take a ferry to
get to but it's all good b/c will picks me up. oh that's gonna suck. i'm gonna have to take public transport now!! whatever.
so the other 2 are in town and i can walk to them. FANTASTIC job. $10/hr. cash in hand. i get to eat whatever i want.
i'm definitely a champagne backpacker. disregard the 100kg of crap i brought with me, it's the fact that i eat steak
(GOOD STEAK) 3 times a week and fish, prawns, curry, lamb kebabs, you name it, whenever i want. poor dan, he eats a
kebab 3x a week.
have i told you about dan? he is the kev croydon of nz. it's amazing, he says i'll
do anything with a pulse and he's shocked that he can't find his. how can he stand without a pulse? dunno. he's just immune
to my ways ;-) ha ha. gosh i'm cheeky.
so i wait tables for one job and then i pass out flyers for the other job. see you have to understand dan... he is my future
ex husband. no no seriously, i've known the boy what 5 weeks now and it feels like years. TRUST ME no sexual wants there. well
i mean on my side, of course he wants me and all ;-) but it's just great he rocks my world. so back to the job, eh?
so we pass out flyers for 2 hrs a day and get free beer and free travel around nz. check out the website
Stray Travel... it's great...
okay so you guys know me right? and as much as i hate to admit it, you know how much i like to talk eh? well
check this out... I GET PAID TO TALK TO PEOPLE!!! it's not porn i swear! seriously, i get paid cash to hand out flyers
and get people to take a free tour of auckland. it's completely free, once you're on the tour they do tell you about the
tours they sell etc. but you don't have to buy SHIT and you get a free tour of the
city.
it's great. i just walk up to boys and ask, "so baby, besides me, what are you doing tomorrow morning?" okay so i leave
out the besides me part but that is the line. it's great. i chat up all the blokes and dan gets the birds. it's a comp
everyday to see who got more peeps to actually show up.
met a bunch of americans. gosh they are loud.
well i guess i've rambled enough. to the point i've finally lost my voice. say what? meg with out a voice? dan is already
cheering!!!!!! seriously people are rejoicing in the streets, meg has lost her voice! she tries to talk but nothing comes
out. the day has finally come!!
-- megs.
