And when you're holding me, we make a pair of parentheses.

Heres the update, christmas 2006 started off with a bang, well a drunken night out at the central on christmas eve. il start with those pictures and then some of christmas day. and if your lucky i might theorise about christmas day.
this is a pic of debi when we were getting ready to head out

luke in a pretty sexy elf hat



HUGS !...i.e getting a little drunk

more drunken shinanigans



im keeping this picture large as i think it helps you to understand we were at the zenith of drunkeness

...or maybe this is

it was an ace idea at the time

and guess what... it was a white christmas, its been white since i got here, but it snowed tonnes on christmas day which was amazing

all our chritmas cards :)

christmas morning + photographs = smiles and bad hair

santa just dropped one of his elves off the help me with the presents

if you want to see me and debi opening all our presents just click on any of my pictures because they are all on my flickr :)

so after we got through our mountain of presents we made for the slopes on the trusty bus :)

me and debi

as usual we picked up a bit of a crew which was ace. and then we headed up the timber which id never been up before, have to admite i was a little scared ! but it was totally fine and i had an ace time, really fun, probably my best day boarding, felt like i learnt alot.

after nearly ripping up my calfs with general snowboarding pain we headed home to make a start on dinner YUM. we had sweet roasted potatoes and normal ones and 2 chickens and loads of other stuff.


this is my plate , check out the brussel sprout in the middle...oh yeh

we had quite an array of drinks



Thats it for the pictures.

Chirsmas day was pretty different from the customary 25th iv grown up with and enjoyed for the last 20 years. Different in a good way though and i think the diversity made for a thought-provoking and noteworthy day. My only comment for christmas away from home is that for me christmas is christmas not because of presents and not because of religion and perhaps not even because of family. The reason christmas is what it is, to me, is routine. If i was here every year, this would be christmas. its just the word to describe a day where you do something which you do forever.

oh i wish it could be christmas everyday

Debi and me are sitting next to each other wearing our matching flannel pjs and matching sorority shirts, typing up our blogs. we are pretty cool if you ask me. so heres a few pictures from the last couple of days because i always find that pictures speak louder than words.
debi and jason at the bingo, we didnt win anything but it was free to play so its all good

aww

me at the staff party making use of the free beer, was fernie beer though, not so good...but free :)

and a free christmas dinner, yum...i nthink this picture is rather attractive

they threw oranges at all the staff and the people who caught ones got to fire the orange with the avalanch gun at things. debi was amazing and hit a sign so she got some burton socks. i wasnt so good so i got a keyring




and then yesterday debi surprized me by coming home from work early with crackers, and loads of tastey stuff to put on them yuuuuuuuuum




and lastly heres some boarding vids, they are on debis blog too but if you dont read that cos you like me best there here too :p

when the snowman brings the snow

well Debi is at work again and im realising that snow is a 2 person toy. its coming down like its going out of fashion but im not really up for sledging alone. its not the end of the world though, when Debi gets in we are going christmas dinner shopping and then heading out to the curry bowl for a meal. Then we are kicking off the official christmas countdown with a few drinks and possibley a snowman building fest. with the snow here i recon you could build a whole community of snowmen and snowwomen, and when you add alcohol to the equation theres no limits to the creativity/stupidity.

p.s im so pleased my presents for my family arrived safely at home, its made my christmas. make sure and send me some pictures/videos from christmas day.

its the season on love and understanding

hey, just got back from a really ace day boarding, iv improoved so much since i got here, really starting to get pro ahahah not quite but im doing pretty good. rocked up at the slopes at around 12, got the wrong size bindings for my board and then the stance was wrong but i got up the slopes for some good runs with debi at around 1. then she went back to work and i managed to have about 4 or 5 more runs. im looking forward to showing her my new skills ! been having such a good time, love it. in oter news i got 93 out of 100 in my history of american sound film final. booya. im actually so chuffed. what a genius. so with that i got an amazing 93% for that course. yas.

not long now until christmas, really dosent feel like it but i dont think it ever does. im looking forward to giving Debi all the presents i got her and i really hope the parcel i sent home arrives before christmas day.

just thought id update while debi is at work, not much else to say, been boarding a lot, oo and i got my haircut the other day, its nothing too different. debi is going to help me bleach some bits on sunday so i can dye them pink again.

think il leave it there, thank you everyone that sent me christmas money, im working on the thank you postcards :)

mum and dad your parcel with cards and the broon letter arrived today, thank you :) i tried to find out when my spring break is to know when it is best for you to come (as im hoping to go to new york for break) and i think its march the 30th so anytime in february is totally fine.
