I’ve had an incredibly eventful week.  This is probably going to end up as another exceptionally long blog, so I’m going to drink a cup of tea while I write and chat to two of my good friends; Mike and Max, just to set the scene for you. Ha!

I guess a good place to start would be where I left off last blog.  ‘Blog’ is such an annoying word.  Can anyone think of a better word for it?  It reminds me of some kind of muddy waterhole that would swallow your car when you least expect it.  I must be relating it to ‘bog,’ haha.  Like, “My car got bogged.”  Anyway!

On Tuesday I taught my niece piano like I usually do.  Her last two lessons haven’t been as productive as her first few which is a little disheartening, but I’m not going to let it discourage me.  I remember having off days when I was learning piano as well.  Speaking of which, and slightly off topic, I want to get back into piano lessons again next year.  I’m planning on recording some more songs to upload to my YouTube account.

Tuesday evening I stayed at Gavin’s house because he had Wednesday off.  I always take pleasure in spending time with his family and I’m pretty sure they’re enjoying getting to know me better as well.  I love win, win situations.  This is where my ‘happy-high’ began, that is, for a few days there I felt on top of the world; like I could achieve anything.  It was a good feeling but that feeling never lasts forever… as you’ll see.

Wednesday was Gavin’s day off and what a day it was.  It began with a visit to Gavin’s friends’ new house so I could meet him.  He’s a really nice, easy-going sort of character.  I’ve had the privilege of playing Team Fortress 2 with him a few times before.  He does photography and owns a camera I would love to have.  SLR pleeeeasseee.. <3<3

Lunch time we went to another friends’ unit in the city for a BBQ to celebrate the completion of his university degree (I think?).  Unfortunately it was raining and we had to have an ‘indoor BBQ,’ not that it made it any less enjoyable.

After lunch we pulled in to Gavin’s driveway and just as I was about to get out of his car, he put his hand on my knee, looked me in the eye and told me he’s in love with me. HEART MELLLTT! This deserves its’ own blog but I thought it definitely deserves mentioning here as well. I realised ‘Love’ isn’t something I’ve tagged on my website before, so it’s very special.  <3

Wednesday evening was another of Gavin’s family get togethers, this time for his Grandmothers birthday.  The ladies in Gavins family can all make delicious desserts.  If things go well between Gavin and I, I’ll definitely have to learn to cook these dishes to pass on to my daughters, to continue the tradition sort of thing.

There was a 30-year-old piano there and his family requested I play for them.  Usually I politely decline no matter how much people insist, but this time I thought, why not?  I love to play and people like to hear, so I did it!  I took a few requests and played a few different songs, though not the whole way through.  They all seemed to enjoy it, especially Gavin’s Grandfather.  I was a lot less shy around his cousin’s this time as.  I really think I fit in with his family; they’re all lovely, not to mention hilarious.

On Thursday Gavin and I spent the evening playing games; Left 4 Dead 2 and stuff.  It was an uneventful day until later in the night when I got into an argument with Monique.

It began, shamefully, on Facebook, where I was discussing games (specifically, Left 4 Dead 2) with one of Pauls’ friends.  For those who don’t know, Paul is Monique’s boyfriend who has a very passionate dislike for me.  His dislike for me stems from a number of months ago when he was posting links to a sick website on my website and when I asked him to stop, he denied he was the one doing it.  He doesn’t have any proof of it being someone else and I have the proof it came from his IP so rather than admit it like a man he adopted the “You’re evil and I hate you” attitude.  If you’d like a sample of his behaviour, you can see a classic example  here.

Anyway, back to Thursdays proceedings.

I added this friend which upset Paul.  He removed me from Monique’s Facebook page and told her she was not allowed to re-add me until I remove his friend.  I felt like I was dealing with a hostage situation.  Monique explained to me why it was upsetting him, all silly reasons.  Something about me invading his space, like, what, he’s not invading mine every time he calls me names on there?  I explained to Monique how I thought it was silly and how I’m not going to let him get his way just because he’s acting like a child.

She then starts getting angry at me for trivial issues we’ve either already resolved or completely random things that have never been a problem before.  I could go on to explain them but they’re not important and it’s nearly 4:30am so if you do want me to explain I will later, but the fact of the matter is she was covering the real issue; Paul was controlling her to get his way.  Anyway, I told her I have enough issues of my own to deal with without things like this and I blocked her.

I thought I would be upset on Friday after what happened with Monique, but I woke up feeling full of life and energy.  The day began with a trip to the tip with my Dad to get rid of some old tyres and branches.  Going anywhere with my Dad always turns into an adventure full of mischief and giggles.  We ended up pushing the tyres down a hill on to the tyre pile while no one was looking.  ‘Tyre racing’ we called it.  Then we went to the shop, bought a big box of Bundaberg Rum and sat around eating, drinking and playing games for the rest of the night.  At this point I was absolutely stoked.  I felt like I was glowing.

Saturday (yesterday considering it’s 4:30am on Sunday) Gavin and I planned to do sweet nothing because we’ve been away from home for so many weekends or just doing this and that through the week.  Felt pretty damn good, but my mood has dropped back to a mellow-ish level.  I enjoyed feeling stoked, guess it couldn’t last though.

Gavin and I have spent every day together since we re-met on the 1st of October.  That’s about 66 days.  What puzzles me is that neither of us is sick of the other; it feels completely natural, like we’ve known each other for years.  Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great.  I just find it interesting.

The other thing is that I’m obsessed with these two songs at the moment, thanks to Max, who has the best taste in music I’ve ever come across.  We’ve had quite a few discussions about music and different bands and stuff now.  Oh yes, the songs:

Apocalyptica – Quutamo.
Röyksopp – Happy up here.

Enjoy.
