lynn leaves tomoz
11:07 p.m.
i'm so fucking stoked.
finally!
i can barely contain myself, let alone come up with a coherent phrase to describe my elation!
but today was a sweet day too.. work was simple enough, helped that i worked right by the beach.
so i got to take the coastal walk from coog to bondi, then up to the junction to meet up with asa.
it was lovely and took me 1 hr and 20mins more or less.
a good workout, necessary considering all the junk i've been eating lately.
i wish ice cream didnt taste so good. i wish macca's sundaes weren't so cheap. and everywhere.
sigh.
oh yeah, in all the lynn happiness, i forgot about hwat happened nary 10 minutes ago.
i got locked out of my room amidst doing laundry.
my key card fucking split right in half. in the slot.
so i had to get the security guard to help me. he didnt realize what i meant when i told him it was stuck in the slot - he pushed it down further with his key card.
i instantly called him an imbecile in my head. but with some resourcefulness and tact, he was able to use an actual key to dig up the other half then resumed to let me in.
my luck wasnt too bad today.
it was actually pretty decent.
things are looking up. i'm trying to control my happiness though, so it doesnt turn into mania. that could be dangerous.
but i got back in touch with a group of canadians i met in february on my first day on the job. they're in the gold coast now, so lynn and i have some people to party with when we're there! yayyy for premade friends and canadiana.
seriously, it's so hard to find some good aussies though.
like apart from ben and his crew,
i have paige, cat, keya, adam and denisse as my only australian friends.
i have heaps of acquaintences, but not many i'd talk to outside of the regular forum of where i spend time with them ie work or school.
it blows, it's kind of depressing. well, disappointing more like.
don't get me wrong, i love the people who've become family here. but i went to australia for a reason.
my closest friends include 3 canadians from different groups and 1 swede. i used to have heaps of american friends, but they're gone now.
shaun did warn me about this. of my 2 canadian friends, they have aussie groups so that's good. so i hang out with them by proxy, but i'd never have like a one-on-one coffee date with them or something.
i'd really like this ben thing to be rectified. i know i can't rush things, that was sorta the problem in the first place.
he was an awesome person to hang out with, too bad it got complicated/confusing after crossing the boundaries.
i dont reckon it'll ever be the same, but if i could get a coffee buddy out of it that'd be great. god knows i'm missing adrienne for that fix.
the good thing for me about lynn being here is that it's sorta forced hangout buddy time. i dont reckon either of us would mind, we havent seen each other in AGES! and i have class and work, so we;ll have personal moments then.
but i'll have something to do every night! and a distraction from other not so happy things!
it's good, i need a break from myspace. facebook. and the like.
god.
!!!
she's gonna be here in 50ish hours!
it's gonna be sweet.
