So, it's been a while since i've taken this whole journal thing seriously. I guess I feel as though I never really have much to say. I don't feel like I have much right now, but I think I can find some things worthy of your time.

TAFE is over for me. Sort of. There are a couple of subjects I did not pass, which I need to redo in order to get the diploma. I'm waiting to get my results in the mail before I decide what to do about these (whether I'll do them as soon as possible or leave them a while). I think I will contact the teacher and find out whether I will be able to just complete the assignments and not actually attend the lessons. That way I can get on with my life and still complete the diploma. I'm pretty sure I will be allowed to do that.

I haven't had the time to check on my deviantart list lately. I've read the journals of my closer friends, but that's about all. I've got 109 deviations piled up, so I'm hoping that sometime soon I will have a fair bit of time to waste so that I can look at them all properly.

I don't know how many of you are aware of my "boy swapping" of the past few months. (Not sure how many of you care either, but here's an update anyway.) At the end of Easter weekend (yes, it's a while back, but what the hell) I broke up with Steven. No real surprises there - everyone could see I wasn't happy; except me and Steve. It finally dawned on me that ending it was the right thing to do (for both of us). I felt so much better about everything afterwards.

Not long after this (and I'm not proud of the timing, but that's life) I fell for Banksy, which was weird because we're so incredibly different. I told him I only wanted to be friends, but somehow it became more than that for a couple of weeks. He decided - quite wisely, I can now see - that it wouldn't work out because we're too different. I still haven't figured out whether that was a rebound or what - I mean, I started to get to know him well and discovered this really amazing and interesting person when he actually opens up. (Am I getting too open for a DA journal? Who knows..)

About a week after Banksy and I's decision to just be friends, Chloe and I were in the city and I met Chris on the steps of Gilhooleys. It was like those moments in the movies where you meet someone and you want to know everything about them right from that moment ... for both of us. When Chloe and I were walking away (and I was thinking that I should have got Chris' number), I heard this "Wait, can I get a number?!". It's sorta funny to think I almost let it get away because I was too embarrassed to ask him for his number. Lucky he was too drunk to care though. I got to know him rather well over the following week and he made it known that he was interested in starting something with me. I told him I really didn't want to be getting into anything just yet and wanted to get to know him better instead of rushing into anything - meanwhile I was just looking for something to prove that he wasn't perfect for me. I didn't find anything. A week later I gave in and came to the conclusion that there's no point in waiting when I already knew how I felt - it was just wasting the time that we could have been be spending together. I still believe he's perfect for me and it's been a month. It's funny, because I was beginning to think there was no such thing as the perfect person for anyone. And it's rather strange finding someone who is after being with two guys (who I still think are great guys, by the way) who were completely wrong for me.

Phew. I was beginning to sound like the writer of some corny (and crap, probably) romance there. But that's okay - I'm happy.

I'm trying to decide whether I should get a full time job or a part time job with almost full time hours. I'm thinking of just doing some sort of administration job for a while. I need to earn some money so I can afford to get my own car and then possibly move out soon after Chloe returns from Europe. This is my plan for the not-so-distant future. I'd like to travel at some stage too. Perhaps if Chris and I get really serious that'll be something we can do together. Who knows.. I'm just happy to be happy.
