you know, you bring up a valid point there. i say we need to make sure to have a first aid kit nearby anytime you try something new. hey, you know, considering it’s my birthday i think we should try to go for a surf. sure it’s… extremely cold but the ocean doesn’t freeze so what do you say? wet suits and a good time. you like swimming in the winters… sure, aussie winters but eh.

As much as I wanna support your dreams in life, Zobo — there’s no way I’m hauling my ass over to the Snow Tracks, to watch you fall on your ass, over and over… wait. That actually sounds like something I’d love to do. When are we going? Am I driving? Are you singing the whole way there? Do I need protective gear, for when you inevitably hurt me in the process? So many things to consider. I’ll take into consideration how much you need me, don’t worry.

And you call yourself a friend? There we are, that’s more like it. Uh huh, you put those protective steps in place because I’ll never forget you if I break my first ankle all because you refused to get a little sleet on your ass. May I suggest you come wearing chain mail so I don’t slice open any major artery with my blade?

I remember going to the rink with my sister. Not my strongest skill, I’ve got to say. More like, I need to learn how to walk on solid ground before walking on something slippery. Damn, gravity. Na na na na… BATMAN! If we fall with you, does that count too?

It appears as pretty of a population as Bayview has...we don’t have any decent skaters among us. Maybe I should propose town-wide skating lessons instead, then we could all fall together, maybe break through to the centre of the earth..

Don’t think I can help you there, I can do the dancing part but on ice skates is a little different. If you want some dancing lessons I’m your guy but you may have to find someone more technically skilled in the ice skating department. All I can do there is the basic go around the rink without crashing. That’s my extent there.

Considering I’ve got an offer of help from both you and Sharna I reckon the two of you together could whip me into something a bit more regal, at least? You can both hold onto either of my arms to prop me up.

Happy birthday, babe! 

Another year older, another year closer to growing into a literal Hagrid, I see. Seriously, keep getting taller and hairier by the day, I live for it. 

I’m sorry we haven’t been able to see as much of each other as I’d like recently, and that I still haven’t learnt to stick to my side of the bed, and also that...I’m going to admit to it...you’re a lot cuter with this ‘buying gifts’ thing. Cuter in general, actually. But I like to think you’ll get a lot of use out of this stuff? The phone case in particular. Please actually use it.

So, the GoPro is pretty self explanatory...I thought you could take it surfing to capture all of those neat tricks you do, as well as to document all of the other stuff, as there’s never been a dull time in the water with you, and why let it go to waste? Plus it’s the new model and Mads was trying to steal it to add to her camera collection and that’s always a good sign. Then...the onesies. Now, I know no one loves a goofy onesie more than you do, especially if they’re Christmas themed, but we can’t pretend it’s Christmas all year round...so let’s pretend we’re dinosaurs instead. 

The card even has relevance because don’t all vegan Australians have some unhealthy obsession with avocado’s? See, I’m not too shabby at picking things out, and hopefully not such a crappy girlfriend either. Come round tonight and you can choose what I’m cooking you for dinner.  

Love you forever, 

Zoey.

Some of us were just cursed with looking like utter fools on the ice or dance floor. But at least we’re graceful in other ways? At least, I like to think we are. I can say with total confidence that I’ll fall on my ass next to you if we would hit the Snow Tracks together. But that’s just #friendgoals, no? 

Have we found what our niche for being graceful is yet? I know it’s got to be something...maybe the grace in which we can out-eat any man in our path? I’ll even Instagram our matching injuries with the caption ‘make us your friendship goals’.

I will happily be there, camera at the ready. 

Unless you have a GoPro which you plan to have strapped on while you join me in falling on my ass I don’t want to hear it, Efron.

… can’t you try to learn something where you’re not at risk of breaking both legs and maybe an arm babe? i just worry about you. but if i could i would help but… i think i’m better at staying on for surf lessons, the skates and snow and things? not my thing. i can watch though, with love and maybe a little giggle.

I don’t know how much I can help when anytime I go ice skating, it’s a guarantee I’ll be bruised up for falling so much, but does manning the hot chocolate bar and adding chocolate cheesecake into the mix for afterward help at all? I like to think it would since you’ll need to warm up and need fuel after all that. I feel like I need more details on this story of getting stitches in your chin because that sounds painful.

Sounds perfect to me, you can be waiting on the sidelines to nurse my bruised pride back to health, in the best way possible. Funnily enough, it wasn’t due to my own clumsiness but my sisters - she fell when we were hobbling around clutching onto each other and I went down on my chin. Aren’t siblings delightful?

They’re insane, aren’t they? The jumps, the twists, the spins, and then they’re doing it all so fast that they can barely think about what they’re doing, it honestly blows my mind! They have more talent in their big toe than I have in my entire body. I would gladly go ice skating with you, though. I actually went up at Snow Tracks, and it was a lot of fun. I think they might have a pond over in Garden Grove, too. Or if you’re really brave… the lake. But I’m not sure I’m that brave.

I’m shuddering at the thought of ice skating on the lake because being trapped underwater under some ice is probably way up there for me as one of the worst ways to perish? But without being so pessimistic, I’ll jump at the chance to visit a rink with you at some point - we’ll try our hands at the jumps and then promptly remember why we’ve never tried it before.

I’ll hit the snow tracks with you. Of course, I may break a bone or two, but it’s worth a shot. 

Honestly, I’d take broken bones for the bragging rights I’d have over my sister for hanging out with someone from Stranger Things, no chill.

I’m sure that if you actually try it you gonna be awesome at it. Everyone can learn, really. I just learned because it was like walking in Canada. Everyone kinda dreams of being a professional skater until a certain age actually. I am not that as you can see, but I can help if you wanna learn some tips.

Were skating and eating Poutine drilled into you from a young age in Canada? Because I’m suddenly envious of your childhood, and I thought being raised on a farm was cool. I’ll definitely take you up on that offer though, if you can stand up on ice you’re already miles ahead of me.

My wife made me take lessons when we were daring. You should have see the amount of times i fucked something up and broke something.  I”m always around if you want someone to help teach you!

I actually think the best way to learn is just to be left to try on your own. Or to get one of those little things they let the kids use to help themselves learn to stand. You don’t need Batman, Zoey, you need to learn how to be Batman, which is not the same. But I really hope there’s footage of you falling on your bum, because that’ll be great.

Well if that wasn’t the most motivational thing I’ve ever heard. Dude, you’ve just inspired me to no ends. You’ll see footage of me repeatedly falling while wearing a Batman mask but at least I’d be falling powerfully. 

I can without a doubt, 100% say that they totally are super human. Working with Charlie and Meryl for months was amazing, we got to go to a lot of different competitions and see everyone and… damn. I’m a dancer but I can’t even come close to what they do. I’d love to pass on any info I’ve gotten and possibly help out? I can’t promise results but it might be fun!

Girl, if there’s anyone I have faith in being able to help me figure skate it’d be you. We could try our hands at it together? You’ve got the dancing part down, you’re half way home.

If there’s any hobby that I wish I would’ve got into from a young age it’s figure skating. Like, I’m convinced some of these dancers are super human with all the acrobatics they can pull off. The last time I even attempted to move on some ice I ended up with four stitches in my chin and a bruised ass, but I’m determined to get better so if anyone’s willing to hit Snow Tracks with me before it closes and give me their hand to tug on when I inevitably fall, make yourself known. I need you like Gotham needs Batman.
