Gavin and I have officially been together for 1 month today. ^.^

We both had a really good day.  He turned up at my house this afternoon with a bunch of my favourite flowers.  My favourite flower is the carnation, because it’s intricate and complicated, like I am.  I never told him which flowers were my favourite so it was a really pleasant surprise.  He seems to have a knack for these things; he’s always able to pick which ice cream or food I feel like.

We went out shopping for the afternoon, followed by dinner at Wagamama’s and then we went to see ‘The Invention of Lying.’  Good movie, I really enjoyed it.

Hmm. I’m really lost for words tonight for some reason.  Usually I have stacks to say but it’s just not there tonight.  I think it’s because I’m really tired.

Last night I was a bit upset…  I ended up staying up to watch the sun rise.  No doubt I’ll bring the reason why up in a future post, when I’m not so tired.

I have a throat infection so I think I’ll need to see a doctor at some point.  I have a big weekend ahead of me too, haha.

I bought the THQ pack off steam today.  It’s incredibly good value; 19 games for $49.99USD which is $54.70AUD.  That works out to be $2.90AUD per game which just blows me away because some of the games they include in the pack are still worth $90.00AUD retail.  If you’re a gamer I’d highly recommend you look into it. Clicky clicky~!

I now own 72 steam games alone.. plus a whole bunch of other PC, N64 and PS2 games.

Gamer pridddde. ;D

Hopefully next time I update I’ll be more insightful.

I didn’t think I’d be able to do this so soon, but I’ve decided it’s time to go through my little box of treasures from the relationship I had with Liam and let them go.

I kept all sorts of little things.  If you don’t mind, I’d like to go through and remember them piece by piece before they go to their final resting place.  There’s no need to read it, it’s more for me than anything else.

1. Cards, letters and stories, messages of love that slowly faded over time. He used to be very in touch with his emotions, very romantic.  Reading back over them I believe we were truly in love.  It worries me that a love like that can simply evaporate.
2. A red bow and three red roses (now dried) from a bunch of flowers he once bought for me. I also put petals from roses he bought for me in a little box that had chocolates in it.  In the early years he would always bring me the most beautiful flowers.  I can’t remember the last time I received any from him, which didn’t bother me at all. Money was tight.
3. Little boxes I received jewellery in.  Over the years he bought me a silver band with his name engraved in it and two bracelets with “I love you” engraved in them in Japanese, which is “Aishiteimasu”.  I lost the first one, so he bought me another. Also a silver anklet I never took off, a white gold, sapphire ring and a watch with twelve diamonds.  When he first moved out I gave him my band with his name engraved in it, told him to return it to me when he came home.  He still has that ring, I kept the rest but no longer wear them.
4. Movie tickets.  In the early years when we went to the movies somehow our two movie tickets would always still be attached together.  I always thought it was a good omen.  I even made cute little envelopes to keep them in.
5. Concert and performance tickets.  We saw Evanescence, Linkin Park, Ash Grunwald, Spicks and Specks, Anh Do, and the Kransky Sisters together.
6. A toothpaste box. This is a little more personal. Nothing dirty, but you’re not getting the details on this one! Haha.
7. The side of a popcorn box he carved a face in to, to cheer me up one day. In the early years he’d always do crazy little things that would make me smile.
8. A notepad with “& Jayne” drawn on it in fancy writing.  He gave me the pen and asked me to write his name above it.  I never had time and eventually forgot about it.

So that’s that.  I’ve had my cry, now on to the good stuff!  It’s nearly time to create a new box of memories.

Tonight Gavin took me out for dinner at Wagamama’s to celebrate the fact he finally sold his old car.  It was awesome!  The food was delicious; we had a nice glass of wine and a good talk.  I didn’t even get asked for ID, haha. Made me feel pretty good.  Afterwards we came back to my place to watch Good News Week and play some Team Fortress 2.  My night ended perfectly with a sweet goodbye kiss in the rain, lightning flashing above us, and thunder in the distance.  Kissing in the rain is very sentimental to me for a number of reasons that I won’t go into now.

It’s wonderful to experience true romance again. There was one night, driving in the car, when I was explaining to Gavin that throughout my breakup I kept the quote, “If you love it, let it go. If comes back to you, it’s yours forever, if it doesn’t, then it was never meant to be,” in my mind.  He looked at me and said, “I came back.”  Really melted my heart, you know? I hope he doesn’t mind me publishing this!  Just means a lot to me, hehe.

Things are good with both Nicki and Monique now; thank goodness!  I’m determined to be the very best friend I can be to those I love from now on.  I’ve learnt a lot about myself and those around me and I’m really looking forward to seeing what the future holds for me.  It’s a big change from how I was a few weeks ago, huh?  It’s been an incredible journey, one I wouldn’t change.  I only hope this journey will help someone else out there in the same position as me.
