Fuck that thing is long.

enders_lament: the CD you sent me I finally got to listen to. Dad brought down all my mail so now I have the CD. Thank you! Lots of good music; you and my brother share a lot of common tastes in music, and he's my other source for good CD mixes so yay!
Well, I have my dress for Dad and Suzie's wedding; it's black. *laughs* It's a gorgeous dress though. I wish I could show you pictures. And the important question, would I wear it again--yes, yes I would. It's going to look really nice with everything else, too.
All of us kids are going to be up there with Dad and Suzie as they take their vows. Although, I'm going to be breaking tradition somewhat by being on the man's side. Eh bien. Suzies three girls are all wearing emerald green dresses, two of them being these identical strapless ones. (I tried on one, but it was a bit loose on the bust) The other daughter has a different style, one with straps, and my dress is identical style but black. (they didn't have my size in green) Dad wants him and Iain to be in identical tuxes--all black with high collars and tails like Iain wore to his school ball. No idea what Suzie's dress is supposed to be like.
Somewhere between now and the wedding, I need to acquire a nice set of black heels. Ones that won't kill my feet, but look good and make me tall enough so my dress doesn't trail on the ground too much. But given that the wedding has no set date yet, I'm in no rush. Plus I'm waiting to hear from Suzie as apparently her daughters are looking into getting matching shoes of trademe and possibly I'll end up with a matching pair too.
'Sfunny, it's been years since I've been to Wellington, so it's only now that if someone mentions Cuba street I'll actually know where they're talking about. I'd been there the last time I went, but I was 11 or 12 and didn't know that it was Cuba street, any more than I realised I'd seen the Bucket Fountain Lynds used to keep telling me about. Still, it was fun to walk around, and I wouldn't mind living there. I finally got to see Te Papa, which wasn't around when we went all those years ago. Now my big plan in the way of seeing more of NZ is to hit up the South Island which I haven't been to since I was three and remember nothing of.
Got introduced to a new concept with all the cafes we hit up: eating cake served not with whipped cream, but yoghurt. It was such a bizarre concept, but I wasn't adverse to trying. Quite nice really. I'm not a huge fan of yoghurt so I didn't like too much. It does decrease the richness of the cake so it's not sickening though, and that's nice. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
I'm such a nerd though. Iain would be playing his games on his computer, so there wasn't much I could do, until he handed me his Gameboy advance with the classic NES version of Zelda in it, and the unofficial guidebook. So I spent hours playing Zelda, and was gutted when the batteries crapped out on me at some point early Sunday morning, and I lost pretty much everything I'd achieved because I hadn't been saving. *sigh* Took me several hours on Sunday to get back to the same place where I'd been, and a few more to advance two or three more levels. I went to bed at about 3:30 this morning because I played for a couple hours after we got back from this one farewell party he dragged me to.
I accidentally left a couple things behind, so I will have to plan a day trip at some point in the near future with the express purpose of getting them back. It's okay I accidentally left my toiletries bag, the only thing I'd really want from there desperately is my nail clippers, the rest of it's just travel size stuff I already have. But I also left my little anorak in a bag which is so much easier to carry around than my big bulky (yet warm and rain-warding) leather jacket.
This entry is turning out to be longer than I thought it would. Ah well. If you're reading it, I'm sorry it's so long and possibly boring, and if you're not, I'm sorry it's so long you're skipping it.
My room is so much warmer now I've got an extra heater in it.
I should go study again.
Fin.
