Well my dedicated readers, it has been some time since my last blog and I bet you are all ready for the next one like a crack addict is ready to mug for his next fix :)
The first thing I think you all need to know is I've fallen in love. We love each other so much I can bear to be away for to long. Her name is Fergburger!!! This place is one of a kind and serves what has to be the best burgers in the world, so delicious and brilliant and they have burgers that make your mind boggle. The names aswell are brilliant, Little Lamby, Oh Bambi, The Mr.Big Stuff, A Big Al, the Codfather. They are all so nice that if I get the chance I'm going to take one of these with me to the US and take a detour to some backwater state where you can marry your own sister or mother, and I will marry the burger it is that good, and the best thing is Fergburger is open till 5am and then opens again at 8am, I only ever have to go for 3 hour with the fear of not having a Ferg.
Well I'm staying in what has to be the best hostel so far, by a long way. The guys here are all brilliant but best of all is on the ground floor we have a nightclub joining onto the building, and its absolutely ace, already had a few um wild nights in there.
Now my room when I first arrived was excellent, it had 5 hot girls my age and 1 not so hot girl (you know there is always 1 ugly friend in the group, you know like the 1 they bully to make themselves feel better, if you can't think of anyone like that in your group...its you!!!!) But to my dismay after 2 nights they all left to be replaced by there older looking versions, one of whom was something of a whale, free willy took a detour to New Zealand I thought, she was massive!!!
Thankfully I was on the top bunk, otherwise watching the bunk bed trying to support her and then fail could've been quite painful for me!!! Now these guys I didn't spend much time with but I found out 1 of them is an absolute idiot who I wanted to smack in the face when she started whining about her phone bill, here is how it went..."Oh my god my phone bill is 1800quid this month and I don't know how, it was only 800quid last month, and I only text my boyfriend and my parents like 5 times everyday!!!!" Then the dumb bitch had the nerve to make fun of fact that I said all I was going to do today was watch TV and read my book, so after showering I said as leaving the room, "what you don't realise is by doing nothing all day I still have money to eat." yeah take that I can still eat food, which she won't be doing for several weeks, hahaha.
So I know I'm in the adventure capital of the world but to make sure I can do everything I've had to spend my first week doing inexpensive activities. Mainly I have become part of the TV room family, Kimberly, Brian, John, Matt, Madeline and myself, a select few of us who decide what to watch and congregate at around 11am when we wake and all huddle with the giant pillows eating cereal, drinking questionable tea and cheering Jeremy Kyle as he tell someone this is the Jeremy Kyle show so sit down!!! I have also taken to invading the local library instead of buying books where I'll sit there for several hours reading half a book a day, and it is very cost effective.
I am happy to report however that yesterday on Thursday 17th April I went on the Shotover Jet, my first Thrill Therapy activity. Now this jet boat is powered by 2 buich engines, does 95kph and can do 360 degree spins. This jet was immense, I sat right at the front and tell you now the distance the driver, called Jamie (Jen you would've have liked him, lol) got from the rocks was breathtaking, it was literally a rulers length away from the edge. I'm also happy to report to you, my readers, that I have 3 of the best bungee jumps booked for the next 3 days; it is going to be amazing. All booked for me by the hot girl at the travel desk here, who might have actually been flirting with me (but thats a guess, I can't tell you for certain) but she did tell me to come back after each one and talk about it with her to see which is best ;)
Now on this Thursday my roommates once again changed and now I have 7 guys in my room (imagine the smell). The guys are all alright and they invited me to play some drinking games with them and it turned out to be a right laugh, strangely even though I'd never played the games before I won all of them and stayed rather sober, until they all realised I was winning and then all challenged me and in space of 20 minutes I'd gone through half a bottle of vodka, I would like to say the rest of the night was brilliant but I don't remember anything after 2am so I can't.
Today my TV room family and I enjoyed Jeremy Kyle and super nanny before we all disappeared to make it look like we'd actually done something today, all I did was do some food shopping which I must in much need of because trying to make my dinner out of an onion, a bar of chocolate, an apple and fruits of the forest jam was not going to turn out well but I'm all stocked up and made myself a delight beef curry, it however does not compare to M&S chicken curry by a long way, its fare to say I won't be eating M&S style food for a long time to go yet, (With no M&S style food I don't know if dad would be able to survive out here)
I'm Oliver Morris signing off....You stay classy San Diego.
