It's been pissing down like no other here in Wellington for the past couple of days, which is pretty sad, but something I have to put up with I guess.
Well, not a whole lot else to publish. Here are some new photos (nothing too exciting):

Christchurch - AGAIN!
Well gang, this Friday I'm heading down to Chch one more time, I can't believe it! I'm going to be playing in a paintball tournament, and I'm totally stoked for this one! I went to a practice last Friday which was fun, I was a bit rusty, but quickly got back some of the basic moves.

Damn this to hell.
Hey there guys, like I've said, I'm in Wellington, and all is going...ok.
I'm having a lot of trouble letting go Ms. D right now, don't really know why, but it's going pretty slowly in that department. Bah! I hate relationshits! Yes, I know that I spelled it 'wrong'.
Anyway, I went to the museum today and it was amazing! Probably one of the best I've been too. Considering it was free!
I posted some photos up in the Random section, hope you enjoy!
I'm not really in the mood at the moment.
Don't worry guys, I'm fine, it just really blows going through heart break by yourself. It would be cool if some of my best friends could be here to let me cry on their shoulder. You know how it is. Bah!
Anyway, I'll talk to you guys later!

Ctrl + Alt + Del = Reboot
Well guys, I'm in Wellington now, and it feels great!
I've been out shopping today for some pants to wear to interviews and to work in too. I'm currently staying with some girls that I knew from Paihia, and going to crash there until I get my self sorted.
I just bought 3 pairs of pants from an Op Shop, because I felt that my cargo pants with holes in them were a pretty poor excuse of interview clothing. I'm going to an interview in the next couple of days, not entirely sure of when exactly, but soon. It'll be admin work, so that'll be interesting, never done anything like it before.
Yeah, I was in Kaikoura, but I didn't really feel like going whale watching, so I just stayed one night and then I tried to hitch hike out of there in the morning with 0 success, so lame. I waited for 2 hours about, and nothing. I then took a bus up to Picton and jumped on the Ferry over. Yup...not a whole lot else to report.
My knee is still killing me. I don't know if I mentioned that, but I tripped while walking/hitch hiking, and it busted my knee pretty badly. I'm recovering pretty good I feel, but it didn't help when I had to walk about 3 km with about 30+kg of packing. That kind of blew some sort of salty spherical objects.
Anyway, posted some new photos in the Random section, enjoy!

Name: Christofer Olsson
Age: 24
Location: Dunedin, New Zealand
Current Status: Severely confused
Hey guys, I'm in Duners for one more day, and then I'll be making my way up to Kaikoura to do some whale watching and then make my way further up North to Wellington.
I've recently found out that Ms. D is coming back to NZ a bit earlier than expected, and it feels mighty weird. A part of me wants to see her again, for reasons unknown to me. Yet, another part screams to me that it'd be one of the dumbest things I could conscientiously do. I guess I want to see what feelings I have left for her, although I have a funny feeling I would feel rejected and feel like a real POS. The only chance I would be able to meet her is tomorrow, but my hostess has organized a sort of field trip for the day that has a lot of potential to be fun, and take my mind off things. I reckon I'll be leaving on Sunday, when I know that she'll be heading down South to Wanaka. That way I'll have a so called "temptation-free" passage up North. So I think I'll be up in Wellington around Tuesday or Wednesday.
Anyway, I've been offered to play in paintball competition in Christchurch in about 2 weeks, which I'm super keen on playing in, but I need one day off work, which I think would be a bit far fetched on asking for after just two weeks on the job. Blah! We'll see what happens though, I REALLY REALLY want to play in a tournament while I'm down here. There'll be another one, but not for a long while, and I don't even know if I'll be here for it.
On another bright note, I did go out to a play at the University called The Capping Show with Batman being the main theme for all of it. One thing is for sure, it was damn funny! They made fun of everyone and everything possible. It was choice. I've also cut my hair which feels pretty good, now I don't have my little shaved head, but instead a decent hair due that I could go to bar/job interview with. Nice.
Another crappy thing that happened is that my head phones broke again, a pair every year. Do you understand how irritating that is?! The pair I bought down here didn't even last that long! They last only for about 4 months. So lame. I bought a pair of Philips that I used to own, but these are a different color, and yeah...whatever.
Ok guys, I'm gonna go now...Speak to y'as later!
Sorry, no photos this time.

Just a quickie...
Back in Duners, for the ba-gillionth time now. Like I said before (think I mentioned it at least), waiting for my Visa card to arrive from Swedala, and then I'll be making my way up to Wellington to start my work, YAY!
Took some photo when I was at the museum today, just posted two of them though. One under Me and the other under peeps.
I really like the one I took of myself (wow, that does sound a bit narcissistic, no?), pretty psychedelic.
You know what, since it's just two photos I'll post them up.

Out'n aboot
I'm currently out at Mt. Cook, and guys, it's just amazing up here! I did a small tramp with people I SAW (never talked to them up there) out to Mt. Cook, and yeah guys, the views here are just out of this world. From the hostel I'm staying at you can see one mountain which looks like a mountain from the Alps (European) and then there's 3 glaciers here that you can see too. But for this hike, I decided to enjoy the moment more than actually document it all. I also took a dip in the glacial lake right by the base of Mt. Cook. Daaamn cold! But well worth it.
And right now I'm waiting for my new Visa Card to come down to Dunedin, so I'm going to pop down there one more time before I head up north to Wellington and check out this job I've been offered.
Until that time, I'm just going to be doing some travelling up and down the East coast and some of the inland.
In the mean time, I uploaded some photos for you guys to enjoy. They should be in the Landscape and Me folders. Enjoy!

Sc - Sc - Sc - SCORE!!!!
Well, guys I have scored a job in Wellington at a recruitment firm which seems to pay well.
So right now I'm going to be heading up to Mt. Cook to do some light camping and then slowly go back to Hamner Springs to take a dip in the thermal pools they have to offer and then slowly make my way up to Kaikora and finally ending my trip in Picton to then catch the ferry over to Wellington. I don't really know how long it's going to take I'm not entirely sure, but I reckon it's going to take about a week or so.
Sorry guys, no photos today.
I'll talk to you later guys!

FYI
It's been a while, I know, and I apologize. I've just been trying to get through my recent "loss" of Ms. D which is going pretty slowly. Not really surprised that it will take a long to get over a broken heart. Lame.
Where am I you ask? Duners bro! Uni town of NZ! Yeah, I'm still at the people I couch surfed at when I was first here and I'm more or less slowly integrating myself into their house. It's more or less an unspoken agreement that the living room is really my room, and I treat it exactly how I want to. I feel like I'm making a base here, but I don't really want that. Still trying to make Wellington my base of operations, slowly, so slowly that it's only happening in my head. Yes, I know, I'm going to get into gear and start doing what I have to do get up there and start living again. One step at a time.
Yeah, just wanted to say that I feel like I actually have some pretty good friends here in NZ now. People I can rely on. Not a lot, but enough.
____________________
Today was a pretty good day, one of the girls here invited me to go down to the Catlins with her while she visited some old friends of hers and what not. I figured, either sit in front of the computer all day and living in FaceBook/Gmail (very tempting) OR go and see some of NZ's best country side with my host and get to meet some real Kiwis (semi-tempting). I concluded that I needed to get out of the house and try and have a small adventure, so I told her I'd go to the Catlins with her. And it was well worth it.
Met some good people, ate some good food and played some good pool. I got to meet a really nice Kiwi family with two young daughters (11 and 7 I think) and they offered to host me if I was ever in the area. Which felt really good mind you. They were very hospitable: always making sure I was comfortable and just feeling good. And the mom was totally awesome! She kept on calling me dude! Seriously, think about it, how often does a mom call a friend of yours dude?! Very seldom. These are the type of Kiwis I've been wanting to meet. Which has lead me to believe that a lot of Kiwi's are clicky, no matter how helpful they are. There are a lot of examples that I can draw from now, but don't want to go into. Kiwi's are really great people, but very hard to get to know, and can be hard to make friends with. Something which I find very sad and didn't expect to find out. I still have a lot of Kiwis, don't get me wrong about that, it's just something I didn't see coming. Oh well.
There's not a whole lot to write right now, but I do have an some info for you guys which concerns my Photo Album. I've reorganized it so that it's in categories instead of one giant clump album. Hopefully it'll help you guys find photos and what not.
Enjoy!
