Live in the now.
So, I realise my last post was a little emo.
Okay, it was oozing emo out the orifices, but I mean you can’t really expect much else. I did just lose my boyfriend of 4 years.
I said in my last post that I wouldn’t be smiling for a while, but I’m feeling better today. I had a nice night spending time with Barry, Kathy and Lucas and then today I had a lot of fun with Madonna and Emily. Madonna and I had the chance to have a really good talk and I definitely feel more clear-headed than before. Last night I also had the chance to talk to my dear friend, Lloyd, who had some really wise words to share with me.
I just wanted to thank everyone for their love and support. I have been overwhelmed with supportive messages from my beautiful family and friends; old and new, namely my siblings, Guinevere, Nicki, Alex, Evan, Keeley, Monnie, Chad, Steph, Emma, Tom, Bolo, Sheridan, Michael, Luke, Michelle, Don, Elliot, Rythn, Fraternity of Valour and Pants Party (If I have forgotten anyone, please don’t hesitate to tell me). I honestly didn’t realise so many people cared, and I feel truly enlightened. All of your words of wisdom have been stored in my heart (sorry if I’m being a little sappy). I even received a beautiful orchid – omgah! XD
No doubt I’ll have my down days, but today was a good one so I thought I better update my blog now so I’m in a good state of mind to give everyone my thanks and show my appreciation.
What I need to do is move on from the life I had with Liam; give him space and find myself. Like they say, “If you love something, let it go. If it comes back, it’s yours, if not, it never was.” I need to concentrate on the now, because really, that’s all we have. Who knows what the future holds.
Liam and I may remain friends for the rest of our lives, or maybe one day we will get back together again. For now I have hope that we will get back together, but not expectation. I’m moving on anyway. No matter what the future holds, I’m so glad he’s a part of my life. He will grow to be a wonderful man, full of strength and determination, as I’m sure everyone will agree.
So thank you to Liam for opening my eyes to life, for your unconditional support and friendship and for giving me so many years of happiness.

Fortune cookies, origami elephant and Sasquatch.
I didn’t sleep well Thursday night – I had a dream that I was pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl. It was so weird. It wasn’t another nightmare though, so I was thankful for that.
Yesterday I spent the day with Madonna, Emily and Nanna.
I was also very excited to learn there was a Team Fortress 2 update. I played that with Alex (X1) and Fraternity of Valour until later in the evening when I called Liam for a chat.
I ended up staying up until ungodly hours of the morning talking to my dear brother, John. We had a really good chat and I thoroughly enjoyed his company.
I slept better through the night last night. I was looking forward to visiting Liam’s brother with him today to make pizza with them and hang out, but they decided they would rather have some brother to brother time. I was a little hurt, but it’s completely understandable and I ended up enjoying a few games of Mario Party 6 on Gamecube with Nicki and finishing prostitute Waluigi face using paint. We also decided we’re going to make fortune cookies.
I tried to make an origami elephant, but his tail looks funny and I can’t fix it.
Fun times. All-in-all I had a good few days.
I have a plan that begins with job hunting.
Oh, how I hate job hunting.
Anyway, time to shave my Sasquatch legs.

Breaking 100.
As you know, last night I went to play Team Fortress 2 with Pants Party. Had a whale of a time (haha, whale, what?) despite the few players who have clearly never come across a real girl before. The usual comments and questions came up, the most common being, “There are no girls on the internet!” I hate to inform you darlings, but there are more and more girls on the internet and in games every day. Haha. Anyway, it made me happy for my Pants Party friends to meet some of my Fraternity of Valour friends, and I made some lovely new friends myself.
It turned out to be an incredibly interesting game. For my gamer friends out there, I have a funny story for you. I was heavy, «PP» X1 was my medic with kritzkrieg and while we’re waiting for it to be ready I was defending the cart. He says, “Go Slinky, go!” so we run out and, alas, I’m out of ammo. My heavy whips out a sandvich and starts eating in the heat of battle while we have kritzkrieg. “Slinky! SLINKY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” Oh I laughed so hard.
«PP» X1 helped me break 100 points for the first time on a payload race map (forget what it was called?) Total points: 104 – yay! I did try and take a screenshot but I think I pushed the wrong button, damnit.
Personally, I prefer uber to kritzkrieg because I don’t die straight away, but I’m getting better.
I’m getting so much closer to the achievement ‘Hardcore’ and it’s very exciting. I might even get it tonight.
Liam will soon have the internet so I’m looking forward to being able to talk to him more often and play games together again. We spent a few hours today playing Super Smash Bros. Melee and DragonBall Z Budokai on gamecube before he had go to work. Fun times.
My university deferment is on its way, although I discovered I may have to go to the doctor so I have proof that I’m deferring because of sickness or sick relatives. Last time I checked you didn’t need to have a reason to defer, but my university’s website sucks so badly. Next step is to e-mail them, and then maybe I’ll go see them tomorrow and be like “WHY IS IT SO COMPLICATEDDDD?!?!?! Help mee preeeease…”
Two weeks ago I got my 4 wisdom teeth surgically removed. The last stitch in my mouth came out yesterday, which means I’m nearly fully recovered. Yaaaayyyy for chewy food and biscuits.
Right now I’m going to go and try some new tea I bought (honey and lemon, rosehip and hibiscus and cranberry, raspberry and strawberry – YUM!) and catch up with an old friend.
