Well the title pretty much says it all. You see, last Friday, my art class went for an Art Exhibition that they were having up in Auckland (it's the largest city in New Zealand (which honestly isn't saying much) the exhibition itself was great and I had a lot of fun hanging out with my friends up there. But while me and a friend of mine were looking around in we found an open door with an elevator inside, I mean sure the room that the elevator was in was completely dark but we thought that it was good enough to get us back to the ground floor. Once we left the elevator we found that we had entered a dimly lit room and it appeared that every door was locked. Fortunately there was someone there to help us out who explained to us that we had accidentally entered the staff only area (somehow) and I swore that this person thought that were art thieves. Fortunately the look of shear bewilderment and confusion on our faces managed to convince her otherwise.
But that wasn't really what lead to my stating my bad sense of direction in the title of this post. No, what lead to this weeks title was the result of my own shear stupidity. After our visit to the exhibit we were given one hour to go wherever we wanted in the city for lunch and either go shopping or just have a look around. But since this was a city that most of us weren't that filmier with, we were supposed to give the teachers our cell pone numbers so that we could call them if we were late or got lost... unfortunately, I do not have a cell phone so I had to stick with one of my friends who did (same I was with in the museum). So while he was stuffing his face at burger king I decided to try and find my way back to the meeting area on my own, not that I knew the way back but I was sure that I could find my way. My friend insisted that I wait a couple minutes until he had finished eating since he knew how to get back to the others (and he knew where to go) but me being the complete moron that I am, I just left without him and boy, didn't that turn out well (sarcasm). So this leads me to my title... yeah I got lost...Well needless to say that being alone, in an very big (by NZ standards anyway), unfamiliar city, without any way of contacting the other absolutely terrified me. So I ended up spending the majority of my free hour wandering around nearly having an anxiety attack trying to find my way back. I did manage get back, but only by stooping to a level that most men would never dare to go...... asking for directions (adam surely you feel my pain, if not then good on you, your a better man than me). So I got back in time and as it turns out I was wandering around just a street off from where we were supposed to meet, go figure. So I learned a valuable lesson that day, do not be an idiot.
So anyway, my favorite John Green book... well, I've only read two which are Looking for Alaska and Will Grayson, Will Grayson. So out of those two I think thatI liked Looking for Alaska a lot more. Mostly because I found WG WG to be a little preachy, don't get me wrong it's still a great book and I do love it but it did kind of come off as a little preachy for my, well that and I found the characters for LFA to be more interesting.
Crime isn't massive problem in New Zealand, mostly it's restricted to certain areas (if you ever find yourself in South Auckland, please get out before your mugged) but other than that I think our crime is just at an average level. But I don't really know a lot about the crime in my country so I'd probably have to do a bit of research to get a better idea of it.
My least favorite book-to-movie adaption would probably be Eragon. I really loved the book and the film itself was just awful. But while I'm on the topic of bad movie adaptions I would just like to say that the last air bender movie was even worse. Took my favorite T.V (a show I love more than Power Rnagers, just think about that for a minute) and they essentially turned it into this terrible joke, a bit off topic but then again going off topic is rather fun.
I have to say that this is the longest post I have ever done and it's probably the one that I've enjoyed the most. I feel as though I'm making up for the plethora of crap thatI've been writing up to this point. And I would like to close my post with a question, a simple one really. Am I the only one who spells colour like that? I mean everyone over spells it like that. Does everyone do it that way or is my country just crazy?
Any way I hope that you guys have an awesome week
DFTBA
Campion :)
P.S- I decided to jump on the bank wagon with the whole writing in a different colour thing. I have to admit, I do like writing like this
P.P.S- Anyone notice how silly the word answer is? I mean a W after an S which precedes an N. Why? It just seems knida of silly, especially when it would be better spelt like anser. Why do we need a W? If we must have a W then at least spell it this awnser. I realize that this is probably the most pointless rant one of us is ever likely to go on but it just kinda bugs me that's all
