I'm sure you were all very concerned after last week's entry and so I just wanted to update another time to let you all know that things are going well and I am almost where I need to be right now again. It was pretty difficult with the whole upheaval but I'm a fighter, and I've had a major come back. Of sorts.
I don't want to go into too much details, because I feel like my blog might be very boring, if it's just a consequtive series of updates and plans. If you know me, then you'll already probably know what I'm up to at the minute, and what's been happening in my life. If you don't know me, you need to change that!
I just realised, though, that there's been a severe lack of witty banter and embarassing anecdotes as of late so I've been wracking my brains trying to think of what has happened lately. Where are all the random run ins with random boys? Where are all the social faux pas? Where are all the awkward times when I keep on talking to people even when they make it clear they don't want to talk to me anymore? I assure you, all of these things are still going on. Oh sweet Miriam, they're going on big time.
Last night was pretty entertaining. Some friends said they were going to touch rugby practice and would I like to go along. Being in dire need of some exercise, and a pretty big rugby fan, I thought 'Sure, why not.' So I showed up in my exercise gear, ready to get down and dirty. Although still not really understanding what the rules actually were. I donned my orange bib which clashed nicely with my pink t-shirt and I was ushered onto the field to play a match. It was certainly a learning experience. On the one hand I learnt that I was actually pretty good at taking down the big guys when they tried to get past me. On the other hand, I learnt that it's hard to make a good impression on the cute Australian guys on your team when you're an actual IMBECILE when it comes to sport. And they have to constantly shout out where you should be going and tell you to GET ON THE WING (which we all know is code for the crappest player position). Either way, I had lots of fun playing for a few hours and it felt really nice to actually be active for a change. Rather than actively eating chocolate like a piggy!
This weekend I had some really good times too. On Friday night, I moved the first half of my stuff to the new place I'll be living for a while. It was some fun dragging four large bags onto trams, particularly when the most fragile of those bags was full of my underwear and likely to fall out on the road everywhere( if I've learnt anything from my odd existence.) I eventually made it, but then I was rushing back out for dinner with a friend. We went to this lovely Italian restaurant where you ordered at the top the type of pizza/pasta dish you want, take a beeper, and they buzz you when they've made it fresh for you. As usual, I managed to get some banter from the waiters...Who tried to fool me into thinking my pizza was non existant (or something like that) Classic Italians, I guess. As soon as they knew I was English speaking and not German, the banter came flying!
After dinner we went for fro yo at Mister Wong's which was very yummy and it was just nice to be out doing something normal and social with my friday nights for a change. Plus, it was lovely to catch up because I hadn't seen him in a good few weeks.
Saturday and Sunday were pretty great days for me. For details, listen to a happy Taylor Swift song. That is pretty much my thoughts on the whole thing. Needless to say, there was a guy involved. A lovely guy. And a 24 hour date. In which I got to wear my pyjamas for some of it, and impersonate Billy Ray Cyrus, and he treated me to McDonalds and we watched rugby, and it was just really cool. And it made me feel all happy and normal and like the sort of girl who actually has a boy who actually likes her and does normal things like holding hands etc without being ridiculed. It was a really important landmark for me. I hope there are many more of these such dates. And guess what? I'll let you in on a secret. I really like him. As a literally nice and wonderful specimen of boy. Guess that means he's not gonna be in touch again!
Well, one thing is certain:
Another point has been crossed off my bucket list.
As well as the even more important life long bucket list thing already crossed out.
I tell you what, I only have like 3 points left to fulfill before I turn 22 now- I am doing super well with the whole fulfilling dreams thing!
I'm gonna have to add some of my more wacky thoughts back to the list
1)See snow on a beach
2)
3) Fall in love
4)Discover something new
5)Become a voice on the radio/television
What else has been happening? The job hunt is continuing. I applied to be a babysitter/ a tutor/ a dogwalker/ a language assistant- all to no avail. I've gotten some hours sorted for working still in my old job but need something else...will keep you updated if I reach a solution. Here's hoping I do!
I hope you are all well, and as usual, all comments are so wonderfully appreciated. Your comments make it worthwhile writing :)
