A couple of days ago I was pointed to a video on TMZ.com that featured “Avatar” director James Cameron involved in a verbal scuffle with who the gossip website would have you believe was a “fan.” The question is implicit in the video and write-up: “Why would a wealthy Hollywood director be so rude as not to sign an autograph for someone going out of his way to meet his hero?” Having...

Don’t get too comfortable with it… seeing as you’re more of a twitter person, your tumblarity will shoot back down in no time ;P
Are you sure you’d wanna hangout with me? For all you know, I could be some cannibalistic psychopath pretending to be a 17 year old girl living in Wellington. Dun dun DUN.
Forgive my intrusion, but I can vouch for her....

It´s the sort fo thing that could work out really well, or really badly.
I still can´t fix the apostrophes, I´m getting a new keyboard anyway though so soon I will return to typing like a real New Zealander. :D
I could be giving you bad advice, you wouldn´t know until it´s too late…
I’m forcing myself to think positively, otherwise things will go badly. My...

Yeah, I am pretty nervous about it, but I want to experience something new, albeit kinda scary for someone like me. Hmm, that’s kind of weird, dontcha think? Maybe your computer is the foreigner, not you.
Btw, thanks for being surprisingly helpful/friendly, even if don’t realize it :)

ooooh, alrighty. Welcome back to Wellington then :)
I’m not much of a “get drunk and study” person, but I suppose I could be… I dunno. I’m not too picky as to where I end up, as long as it’s not Wellington. Knowing me, I’ll probably just flip a coin to decide things for me ‘cause at the moment I wouldn’t mind going to both. They seem like decent universities/cities.
The real...

Haha I was staying in the hostel and hiding from the youths with metal bars. Haven´t seen the Hostel films which is probably a good thing.
That´s totally why I went to Otago (I was studying law at the time which Vic and Otago are both good for). Dunedin has a better scene, but it could get boring quickly.
Good thing them kids didn’t decide to go psycho at some...

Is it fair to assume that you were one of the involved youths smashing shop windows and staying at a cheap hostel?
Hostels seem scary to me. Movies influence me in stupid ways.
my plan is to visit both. I’m doing a BA in English Lit. and German, minoring in Linguistics. May possibly do the one year for Teaching, but I dunno yet.
Victoria is perfectly good for what I want to...

I also had a bad experience last time I was in Auckland (non asian related). I think Dunedin would be lame if you weren´t a student.
For me Tumblr is one of those things I only use when I remember I have it :D
Oh? Do tell. I think the reason I disliked Auckland so much when I was there is ‘cause I was tired from the long drive. I’m not good with sitting still :/

Wellington is awesome! It makes Dunedin seem boring. Do you have Twitter or similar?
I’ve never been to Dunedin ever, but compared to every other place I’ve seen in New Zealand, Wellington is my favourite.
I have twitter, but I seldom use it. It’s one of those things I only use when I remember I have it :3

thanks for following.
I don’t usually do this (sorry other followers), but you’re from Wellington. That’s gotta mean something. Wellington is awesome.

This weather sucks!
I should be sitting in the sun drinking cold drinks right now. Instead I have to choose between Working, sorting out my tax returns and watching Dexter (I’m up to Season 4, Episode 8 and it’s really starting to freak me out).
