V6.0

Since my last post, I have ended my relationship with the guy I was dating (7 months later). I knew it was for the best, and once you know it is not meant to be it is best to end it before it goes too far. Unfortunately, ours had passed that stage. You win some you lose some.

I had a friend from my former/Brisbane life pass away on Wednesday the 9th of September. It came as a surprise to so many of us, and he will be sorely missed. Many of the old regulars, as well as current followers of the Brisbane metal scene will remember a friendly, fun loving bloke known as Snailz. Robert 'Snailz' Martin was the one who shook your hand every time you entered the venue, had a beer and a joke with you, and didn't have a negative thing to say about anyone or anything. He was in the moshpit of every local metal band's set, front row centre. He was a great mate to all who knew him. You'll be sorely missed, Snailz.

On another - more positive note, I have added another year to my life, and also I have been bettering myself via losing weight as well as removing negativity. Since being back home I have lost over 15 kilograms, although I aim at losing a further 25. At least this time I am doing it the proper way, exercise and healthier eating habits.

Pop is still in hospital, although this one takes a fair bit too much to explain so I shall leave it for another time.

V4.1

As of this week, new job, and we have found a puppy that we are considering - having a meet and greet with him next week! Also, Will's 25th on Thursday which I am happy I will finally be here for, for the first time in like 3 years.

I have only been back home for 2 weeks or so and I feel myself falling into a nice routine, getting back into the feel of my surrounds, and enjoying the ability to see certain people a fair amount. Among these certain people is a strange one. I’m not entirely sure how to describe him, but he’s definitely rad at the very least. So yes, I seem to be growing quite fond of a particular male. He is like no one I have had the pleasure of meeting (having said that, he does remind me somewhat of a close friend), and he makes me smile like I haven’t done so in such a long time. He isn’t afraid to hold my hand, he isn’t afraid to call me an Oldfag once I have called him a Newfag. He is happy to game with me, discuss gaming, technology, politics as well as religion. He can go on and on about computers, knowing my knowledge lies within other feats – and I like it. He has only been around a short time, but already I feel as though I’m learning from him. It is such a bizarre feeling, but most definitely a good one. He leaves me with butterflies and a huge smile, something which I haven’t legitimately had in oh such a while.

As I said, he hasn’t been around for a while so I will be careful with getting my hopes up. But between us, I hope he sticks around :-)

V3.3

Much has happened over the past fortnight. We have been fighting with several real estates, I got an new [online] job as a web Mistress [no, not in the sexual context... In the female Web Master context].. I planned a holiday, oh and we have gotten evicted. Yes, you heard it right. We have 10 days to move and be done with the current house - oh did I tell you, I leave for my holidays tomorrow. Wicked!

Basically, we signed the lease with the animals on it and everything was fine. However, turns out the real estate had approved the lease without asking the owners of the property first. We had a friend of the owners come through the house as she's trying to sell it, he turns to the owner and tells her that we have the rats running around the house outside of their cages [which is complete bollocks!], so the owner kicked up a stink about wanting us out NOW. This was about 2 weeks after we moved in, in December.

We then receive a call saying we had a breach notice to remedy the lawns not being mowed [fairo, it's a breach of the lease].. We mow the lawns and within the period of the first breach we receive another.. This one for apparently not having done the lawns and the house being untidy [by untidy we have boxes of packed stuff all over the house as we know we have to move again so there isn't much point in unpacking, amirite?].. We complain, they ignore, and so it goes on. THEN, Lyns calls up to see if our property manager [Brad the wanktard] has agreed to our terms of leaving, i.e. if they want us out before the lease is out they must pay for our moving etc etc..], Brad then tells us that there has been another complaint. ANOTHER! Turns out another real estate has said that they tried to come around to look at the place on Saturday [6 days ago] and apparently could not get in. Now, last Saturday we were ALL home, yes, all 3 of us. Noone came, at all that day. AT ALL! Yet there is breach numero tres, and bang eviction. So basically Katey and Lyns must find a new place and move the house in 10 days whilst I am 2 states away on holidays. If not, our stuff goes to a family friends, they sleep on his mums floor and I move back in with nan. Oh what joy this has turned to be!

Oh, mum doesn't know yet.. Let's keep it a secret, hey? Good.

On the upside, looking forward to Cassie's 21st as well as Kell's whilst I am down in Melbourne. OH and I get to see Sindy and get my new cyber lox! Wicked! [And of course spend time with mama and brother and such ^_^]

Anywho, I need to have my belongings packed and ready for tomorrow and for house moving so I should get back to it.

V1.8

Yay for Katey being 21 today. They grow up so fast, etc etc. She has indeed taken a shining to the likes of Guitar Hero and to be honest [and totally unbiased] she is pwning at it! However, a few hours have passed and surprisingly she has already cut down on her cigarette intake. A sign that the game is already getting to her? Will something like this be the next step on her way to full blown addiction?

Maybe, if Katey were a man.

So my mind was brought to an episode of South Park [Season 11, episode #166], well named Guitar Queer-O. Basically Stan and Kyle get so good at playing Guitar Hero that they get a contract, in parody form they split when Stan is pushed to play with another kid. He goes on a downward spiral of Heroin Hero [parody game - no duuh] where he is chasing a dragon he is never able to catch. I will not be so cruel as to spoil the ending, however it did raise the thought that maybe.. Just maybe, this could be us at some stage:

If we were cool enough.

Moving on. Work was good, and eventful. I am greatly amused when nurses at work give me Belgium [i.e. crap] for my age [currently I am basically the only one under 35 or so.. Yet when it comes to the Aboriginal flag, some of them can not even remember the colours involved [okay an exaggeration, they could not remember the order in which they went - but you get the drift]. Also, if I have stomach contents spurting through a tube in my direction again - it will only be too soon.
