i'm updating a little on my NZ trip. i'm not ready to start on the whole trip so just wanna post some pics of me & for the record, i overcame a fear of mine while i was there...i might have told some of ya, i went on a helicopter!!!! how awesome is that?? some y'all know, i got paranoid when i heard bout a guy whose head got split! by a chopper's propellor....eeeww...gross rite? & terribly gruesome! i was actually gonna pass but i thought this would be a once in a lifetime chance & i wouldn't wanna regret later...i was so excited (during) & after i did it, i couldn't stop smiling!!! =D crazy....
