    Hey guys. Calling from Dunedin. I keep referring NZ as Shelbyville. Highlights so far: Lake Tekepo, Queenstown airport and the young dude who pointed out the copper one was “tin cints”. Very hard not to laugh at the language barrier.

    With regards to wrapping Christmas gifts; I have taken great care in the past, learned various techniques, using a minimal amount of tape, learning the art of bow making etc…

    Various compliments were thrown my way, but, that couldn’t inspire me this year. This years gift wrapping has been a bit haphazard and uninspired with no thought or care given to paper colour choices, ribbon widths or bow size.

    I have one more gift to wrap, I’m gonna pull myself together and make it count.

      I don’t fuck with wrapping paper. I give the first one or two some effort, all the rest get thrown on the wrapping paper then wrapped as quickly and crookedly as possible

      Some gifts even just go in those little gift boxes with the fake ribbon glued to the top

        Wrapping gifts is an art form. Many people might brush the off the idea as a useless endeavor because the result doesn’t last long and is ultimately destroyed.

        I happen to take pride in the craft. This is a gift to myself.

          If I’ve wrapped a gift for anyone, it means I REALLY like them and value them. And then i will do a decent job of it. Everyone else gets a repurposed bag

          I don’t brush it off, I just don’t have the skill or patience to bother with it past 1 or 2

    This derro sounding lady has been in the alley last night and RIGHT NOW on the phone, yelling and ranting and raving 😂 something about “those bloody Muslims”, how “Bill is a cunt”, and “Shelly can go get fucked”.

    Oooo “it’s bloody bullshit” “I’m gonna go fuck myself then!?”

    This is spicy

      what the hell

      I miss the days when people knew that bigotry was something to hide and be ashamed of, they knew it was antisocial.

      well anyway derro lady can get fucked herself, we have laws protecting minorities from people like her

        There’s more!!! She seems to be ranting about how her story should be in the news or something? That all the agencies will be writing stories about her and what she’s went through. This is littered with heaps of swears.

        I can’t tell if she’s talking to an ex, a friend, or a company tbh

        I don’t think this lady would care about being antisocial now or back then. She dropped the word cunt 5 times will I typed these two sentences.

        I’m just out here having a smoke and a coffee choosing to laugh at this

        Wait… She hates trump! Who the fuck is this lady holy shit 😂😂😂😂 She’s completely lost it on trump and the wall - I can’t breeeeeaaaathe

            She’s on the phone! I don’t know! 😂😂 Someone to write her story? She keeps mentioning her story, I think she’s actually been through trauma and has just lost it to whoever she’s on the phone to.

            She is very clearly having a conversation with someone though, she isn’t having an imaginary convo that’s for sure

    Back from IKEA, thought Saturday night would be a good time to go to avoid crowds. Surprisingly more people there than I expected but very manageable. I hate crowded stores with a passion.

    Had meatballs and this amazing cake for dinner from the restaurant, hit the spot.

    Then the shopping began. Needed to collect KK present for next week but then “accidentally” spent an additional $160 on crap for my place.

    The reverb pedal is an absolute gem and so far I feel it was worth the cost.

    Haven’t tried the distortion pedal yet, saved it for today.

    Band audition at 2pm and I went to bed at 3am lol. Time for more sleep.
