DARREN
i was a little naughty because i should have blogged about darren's birthday...but i didn't.
so today i am pretending it's his birthday. (it was really on the 8th Oct). HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAZ.
most of you probably know darren, i find there aren't that many people who don't know him. even just the other day, when i went to my first thing with the korean salvation army church where we are going to be doing stuff reguarly and the youth pastor there goes, oh, darren, are you darren's sister...yes. i often get that question. he's a pretty unforgetable guy, i think. usually loud. sometimes funny (probably not as funny as he thinks, but that's the way with most of us i think). huge cheesy smile. and short, like the rest of the hailes family.
when he wants to, he gets things done. two of my sporting goals (neither which at this point in time i am really working towards...doh) are to run a marathon and complete an olympic distance triathlon. well daz went out this year and just did thm both. in the same year. good one daz. but seriously, good one daz. so it's good that we share similar sporting loves, it helps us get on well. the photo above was taken in march this year at the commonwealth games. we went to lots of things together, including getting up at a ridiculous hour to go and watch the triathlon, running around the city to watch the marathon, going to some of the aths and then of course darren winning the radio competition by hopping around on one leg to win more free tickets (mind you, he didn't take me, and i was the one who screamed out that his last competitor left switched feet which was against the rules - who cares if he was 14...). that was a fun time.
well, i just wanted to wish him a happy birthday, again, even though it's late. sory about that.

Fiona, I told you to call your brother 6 times on his birthday and you kept saying you would do it later. That wasn't very nice!
Fiona your face looks kinda funny, like you've got a bung eye or something. Anway you still look hot even with a bung eye! (Ps there's nothing wrong with bung eyes- i have one and so does annie!)
Fiona, I seem to recall that about the last 10 competitors in the hopping contest were elimated because of your refereeing! In fact, I also seem to recall that you pushed some of them over, including an 8 year old girl! Ok, so maybe that part is not quite true. But it is true that he wouldn't have won without you! Who did he end up taking? It wasn't me..
matt, i did call him on his birthday - i called so early i woke him up.
beth, thanks for the bung eye support.
brad, i think he took steve...so much for us hey!
Just stumbled across this post. Too funny. You're the best sister! ~Darren Hailes
