Life barrels on like a runaway train....

The roller coaster that is my life, well im on a high... but a low at the same time. I still love my job lots, and its still the single entity I cling to for dear life to keep me sane... but of late... priorities have changed... and for the better... Im pleased to say that me and str8 boy are at least back on talking terms.. in a fashion.. he still pisses me off lots, but thats probably borne out of frustration. Over the past few months have been getting out there and meeting new folk.. some I wish I hadnt met, and some im pleased they came into my life. Two in particular have become very good friends, unfortunately for me they are both attached (hence the roller coaster... all the really nice guys are ass holes or taken.... oh didums!). I would happily move heaven and earth for my close friends if they needed me to... and I have worked out... even if they dont need me to its a nice gesture to move heaven and earth... - see I do have a caring side! This week has been full on excitement... at the weekend I went to a stag do, with my university friends - the first time we have been out on piss together since leaving uni 7 years ago! This was followed by meeting up with one of my new friends - he was in need of some cheering up so I hastily booked a day off work and did lunch! The week of work saw evil me reprise... shouting down the Germans in meetings (power trip or what!). But the most exciting thing was meeting another new guy on Wednesday.... Well where to start... lets begin with stats.... cute.... single... cute.... single... and a damn nice guy! We spoke on phone a fair bit and arranged to meet up, since then we have been on phone almost daily and off to see him tomorrow. Yes its VERY early days... and I am being careful (for all those who keep there eyes on me). For first time in a long time there is a light at end of tunnel.... and if all else fails will retreat and bury head in work again! Its not that im out to find a boyfriend... far from it... I actually like being single... but like the idea of having someone to come home to and talk to... now straight boy was that for a long time... but alas that wasnt to be... move on and meet new friends.... minus the complexity.... Not really sure where this blog entry is going today... it doesnt have a point or a purpose... the title represents a Ben Folds song which is pretty poinient for those of you that want to go look it up.... and just kinda says that im glad I have met people and am making new friends.. its not places that make you happy its the people... and this is probably why for such a long time I have pined after my home town... but people move on... things change.... and im pleased to say that I am pretty happy down south... but its been hard work! Now onto some nicer updates... yes I am losing the ability to work out when I am pissed and not... as I discovered last night... after going for a beer or two at a friends house.... when I got back to train station I was certain I was sober... but after talking to one of my friends... I was convinced that I was actually parraletic... especially as I couldnt work out how many units I had... but hey! I didnt drink and drive, instead had the long walk home, and with hangover this morning went to collect the car! I still have loads of holiday days to take off and no-where to use them... so if anyone has any suggestions... please write them on a post card and send them to: Points of View, BBC TV centre, London W12 7RJ... or add a comment below!
