Hey invercargill is cool. Honestly. It is the only place you can drive down the mainstreet and see a confederate flag.
Not mocking i get good vibes for the city of water and light. i might move there.

There is a second hand store on the mainstreet with a HUGE confederate flag in its window

reckon?

yeah your right. But it aint a cure. Like you move here miserable you still going to be miserable and annoy and offend everyone around you.

wellington is wonderful.

very true

CHCH is sorta like a big invercargill. i cant say the bands are that good. But you could start bands there. and still it aint that far from your parents back home in invervegas.

Just dont make the mistake of moving to auckland.

moving would ok, but moving a drum kit around the country is a different story

How much did that cost??

//Just dont make the mistake of moving to auckland.

Hey, watch it! The only thing wrong with Auckland is that it isn't Wellington.

All the Orcs I've met since I've been here have actually been quite nice. Most of the Orcs I met when I was in London were kinda arseholes. Actually, you could meet kiwis in London and tell straight away if they were from Orc-land or Wellington. And you could tell the south islanders the moment they opened their mouths because the first thing they'd do is complain about arrogant north-islanders.

Maybe you should do the big OE, Tama?

hey man i feel i've wasted it and i am 19 so there

They've already got a club like that here, its called the Musicians Club!! ;)

Yeah i've felt like that. But i'm past it now thank God, and I guess i'm a better person for it.

I'm 16. I was sick for 6 months, it was absolute hell: hospitals, tests, worry, stress, depression, pain, overflowing emotion: you name and i've been there done that. I was told I possibly had two brain tumors. Sometimes life doesnt feel worth living but you get through it knowing theres gotta be better shit at the end. And usually there is. My family didnt think they'd have me alive for christmas this year but they do. And every bloody christmas after this one thanks!

Anyway enough of my overemotional bullshit, what i'm trying to say is the ever optimisitc-usually it turns out okay in the end-its just the end doesnt always come as fast as you like.

.......I'm gonna shut up now.

//Basicly I've got to find out what I want to do with my life, it feels like I've wasted it & I'm only 20

Well, I'm 30 and I'm spending my time writing messages on forums frequented by young fuck ups from the south island. Now if that isn't wastage, I don't know what is...

Haha, nice call Heather.

I'm also pleased you're getting better Soph, are you gonna be able to go back to school next year?

hey soph_ie
your story really changed the way i think about life
you have gone through a lot
you sound like a really strong person
well im so happy that you are better now Really iam! :)
hope 2003 will bring joy and happiness and (good health of course!)

Dude, I'm turning 28 on Sunday and I still don't know what I want to do with my life.

I wrote a thing on my web site about being undecided and I keep getting emails from people saying stuff like "Don't worry, I'm nearly 50 and I still haven't worked out what I want to be."

So don't think that just because you haven't figured things out now that you've wasted your life. Everyone has their own timelines and does stuff at their own pace. Just try and enjoy yourself. Good things do happen from time to time.
