Still snowing!

Hi all,
Today was fun. Second to last day of lectures, although with the snow storm at the moment, Uni may be closed tomorrow...either way, my degree is nearing to an end!
It was snowing hard out today. I walked to the bus stop amongst it all. Now I can really say I've had to walk to school in the snow! It was so quiet and...'reflective-like' walking in the winter wonderland. Everything was so white and yummy looking. I was singing and dancing and thinking how cool life was (and probably how cool I was). Haha.
But really I wasn't as cool as this girl at law school with the matching pink toque (beanie), mittens and pink gumboots! I mean seriously, was she just waiting for today when she could bust out that outfit...on call! Seriously wished I had pink gumboots!
Tim left for Bangladesh today. Will be back on Christmas Eve. Three weeks to get all my work done before Christmas :). Yay for getting all my work done!
Comments have been kinda quiet of late, which makes it kinda boring for me...reading my own blog! What's everyone doing in NZ or elsewhere???

I'm having a 'yeah tim's gone' party. I'm also planning a full scale invasion of his end of New Windsor, so that he'll have no choice but to move to Christchurch next year.

Maybe you should post something controversial and divisive - encourage some debate.

Hey Tim,
Something controversial and divisive? Hmmm...I'm not really that kind of blogger. Can you suggest some topic choices?

Char,

I would love for someone to educate me upon my company's "violations of human rights" . Seriously...I'm ALL ears! Hey, what about that whole OXFAM thing anyway. Anyone care to educate me OR better yet discuss the practices of OXFAM and what THEY are doing for the Etiopian farmers??? Oh right, I forgot we are Starbucks and sooooooo evil :} Waiting.....

hey anonymous,
well that could start some interesting conversations... I however don't know enough either though I do religiously drink fair trade coffee....

Justin... your a controversial kinda guy how bout some comments hehe

I say we keep the comments light and Bridget Jonesy, blog debates are so over-rated.
Personally, I'd prefer to save my serious opinions for real time conversation. Otherwise who knows how long it has taken self proclaimed deep thinkers to contribute their 5 cents worth to a blogging conversation?

Sonya said...

hey anonymous,

state your name then make your claim...do you really work for starbucks or are you just a wannabe?

Sonya said...

hey Rie...

far out, i have a lot of friends who drink fairtrade coffee...i didn't really notice before. But y'know what? I'm starting to feel the conviction. Educate me next year!!! (Which is only 30 days away!) How was the wedding?

Sonya said...

justin,

do you read this blog??? congrats on the new development! not very personal in a blog comment i know! (ie refer to miranda's comment!) but will be seeing you guys soon for real. hope it's all going well! hi to julz!

Sonya said...

by the way the 'new development' wasn't the reading of my blog! (just to clarify)

Sonya said...

miranda,
did you notice/like nigella gray/miranda stewart? or do you just prefer browner jones? janey tells me she prefers izzy these days.

oh yeah, and i liked the way you advocate and demonstrate 'light' conversation by pulling out your big needle. interesting approach. i guess if you want to avoid controversy, annihilating the other side is one way to do it.

;)

Unknown said...

Sonya,
Yes, I did notice the Nigella/Martha picture. I was too busy being grateful that it wasn't my face in that picture to think about which name I'd prefer. Now that I have had a second to think about it, I realise I like neither.(sorry, maybe next time!)

I didn't realise that Janey likes to go by Izzy these days... Izzy what though? I must say that I don't know much at all about Janey/Izzy these days?!

And finally, don't dis the needle! I am sure that it's saved the both of us many many a time!

Miss Randee, check your inbox...

Controversial statements have always been my speciality, so why stop now. Here goes.... "Sonya's dreaming of a white Christmas; Tim is dreaming of his white mistress"

Anonymous said...

haha Justin!
Well Son I guess the blogging this week has got interesting hahaha

Sonya said...

Anonymous (I'm presuming that's Izzy Jane!!!)
I thought...oh, if Izzy's writing mail, I best be checking my inbox too...but alas, 'twas to no avail. What happened the other night!?!?

Sonya said...

Justin, you and Lauryn should really get together to discuss some lyrical arrangements for her new album.

Speaking of which, I just listened to her 'Unplugged' album this week. Ever heard it? It's really different but moving. Not as 'musically sound'...but she sings/preaches the gospel and her testimony/salvation experience throughout.

P.S. I know Tim will really appreciate your 'one-liner'(when he manages to find a computer to read it)! Not sure if he's dreaming of much after his brick breaking in Bangladesh experiences.

Sonya said...

Randee,

Why does your name 'light up' in blue...but then when I click on it...it's a dead-end. Do you have a secret blog somewhere??? 'M. G.'s Diary' or something?!?

True, true, your needle has made me into the smaller person that I am today. Me minus the air.

Anonymous said...

Sonya, no idea why the name lights up in blue... and if I did have a secret blog, what would be the point in telling everyone where in the internet it was?

anon, just come from my inbox thankyou!

Justin,
I must be dumber than I look, but what part of that statement was controversial? christmas or Mistress?!

Anonymous said...

or was it the white part?

Your so gorgeous, only you would notice someone elses outfit like that! I'm behind on the blogg comments, don't know where November went & feel like I've winked through Dec...

Anonymous said...

Justin, very funny song. You should finish it, copyright it & then live on it for the rest of your life.:) Miranda & Sonya, your far too brainy & who the heck is 'anonymous'?

Sonya said...

oh by the way, Jax, it appears that 'anonymous' is actually a combination of different people - including Devon (as mentioned above, and Janey). Not that we want to expose anyone who obviously wanted to be anonymous though but it appears okay in this context...
