Elated. I was just offered a psychologist position. I'll be starting next month - working in a prison.

A nice evening.
So, well, I've virtually been estranged from my partner for months (it's probably more accurate to say it's been for the last year at least). It's been tough...I've felt like a failure (my parents divorced and I promised that I'd never put any child I had through that)...I've felt a lot of things.
But I think we forgot each other. I think we just started taking each other for granted. I dunno... He was so consumed with work and I became consumed by other things....things I wanted to do. Somewhere, somehow...everything else was more important than "us". It's been hard on SoS. I've seen his behavior directly affected by the antagonism between my partner (his father) and I.
Anyway....
We've been trying...trying to spend a bit more quality time together...spend time talking. Tonight we went and got pizza, then decided to head off to the local pub for a drink...shooted pool while SoS danced around the table chanting "you missed...na na na na naaaaaahhhhh". Met some brain damaged dude called Daniel...and he ranted...and we laughed...played more pool...
...and I remembered
...it's so hard to forget
...came home...spoke to my partner about life. He admitted the job had come first, I admitted that...well...I admitted that I have put certain things above my relationship with him. And now I feel a lot more at peace than I have in a long while. Don't know whether this means things will all be peachy from now on, but it's a nice feeling (even if it doesn't last).
<sigh> So I'm kinda teary and good and sad and happy and a million other emotions.

(sending some overflowing joy Sea's way)
There isn't an emoticon in the world big enough for how goofy happy I feel right now!
My brother-in-law puts on bands, and he put on Ash at the weekend, who're one of my faves. I had booked flights home to see them, but they went and re-arranged the dates.
Anyway, he just emailed me a picture my sister took, which is now in the Random pics in the Album. (I'm uncle ginger by the way, and Issy is my 2yo niece)

Sea, I wish you all the best.
As for myself, I'm feeling good. Storms came through the area last night and I slept like a log.

Dear sea Its a difficult world to have a perfect love in, its a harsh
lesson to learn, children should expect their parents to love each
other and be able to rely on that relationship for life, but, if there
are flaws in the love then the flaws will find you out in the end.
It would be great if we were wise from the beginning, but the trouble
is that we go into love without the wisdom that only experience can
bring.
The best lesson I learned was that you can only be responsible for your
own love = if your own love isn't perfect then you wont have a perfect
love, so I focused on my own love and it was the best thing ive ever
done!, and also the most difficult.
If you find your best love and you make it perfect - thats where heaven
is, make sure the laws are perfect, one special love which lasts forever!
The trouble is that the devil hates perfect love (God is perfect Love)
and you become a target for horrible things to happen, but if you
persevere to the end then you'll have real heaven.
You'll both have eternal youth, and have forever to enjoy it in.
I hope things go well for you.

Sea - nice to hear it. Yeah, that's the way love seems to work. People grow apart. The way of the world. It seems like the tighter you try to hang on to it, the more it is like trying to hold onto water.
Love sucks. But it's also wonderful. Despite when it is good or bad, at least you know you are living, as opposed to the times when you are just coasting.

Sea, you're a peach. And peaches deserve the best. So I hope it works out for you, truly.
Me, I registered for school for summer quarter. And now I have to look into the nursing program and financial aid. So... yeah. I'm very much a "one thing at a time" kinda gal, but that isn't working out for me. I need to do more than one thing at a time now, and that messes with my very one-track brain. Blah.

I steal real good.
But yeah, I don't understand why people want to always avoid pain. Not to say that severe depressives should not have some help to boost them up occasionally, but I'm talking about the "leveling you out" drugs. In my opinion, feeling is what life is all about. The good AND the bad. It seems like so many times relationships hit that stagnation, partly because people, and speaking as a man I feel it is mostly men, try to avoid troubles and smooth things over to the point where nobody really cares anymore. Sometimes the arguments can be very enlightening. And sometimes it's feels like someone trying to pick a fight. But it is all part of communication, which I feel is the cornerstone of a good relationship.
Umm...I think I'm rambling a bit. Is that making sense to anyone? Probably not. Probably should have just kept quiet and rode off of the short and semi-comprehensible previous post.
