[drugfukkdrockstar]

I can't believe i didn't mention this myself. Being in the same boat, it has definitely been a highlight for me :D

First heartbreak. Still miss him everyday.

Came out to my parents and friends.

Managed to have a decent crack at uni despite feeling quite dead inside.

Have started socialising much more.

What are you planning on doing with your psych degree? I did 1st year of a science psych degree and it was still too humanities-y for me.

Become a psychologist
I'm kinda preparing myself for it to be very humanities-esque but I'll be studying part-time (so that I can continue to work a bit, mortgage and all) so hopefully it won't be too full-on.

Good luck with your last year of Biomed Sciences!

Thanks Part-time that will be about 10 years won't it? Undergrad, post grad, supervised work. Long haul.

I spent the first four months of 2009 in a drugged out haze during which time my father passed away and afterward I learnt the value of family and how much I love my mum and sister.

I returned home to a very broken life and for a long time, it didn't seem that things would get much better. During this time I was lucky to have some of the best people in the world around me to keep me connected with the world when all I wanted to do was slip away.

After dad's remains were interned in July, I visited them every weekend for a few months. I guess during that time I said all the things that I needed to say because by spring, there was noticeable improvement.

I started a new job a month ago, my first in 2.5 years. The last month has been one of the best periods I remember in a long time.

For a long time I was waiting to feel "normal" again, only to now realise that this is normality. That the feeling that I was missing was an innocence of life that we can only lose once. I say this not with bitterness but acceptance.

I'm looking forward to 2010.

2009 was an extremely dramatic year for me. For the last 3 years I've kinda been coasting through life, just working.

The 4.5 year relationship I was in ended in June, and in a very ugly way... I was cheated on. This really was the best thing ever to happen to me, a turning point in my life. Since then I've:

• Banged 3 chicks (shallow I know, lol)
• Partied my ass off
• Started Drinking heavily and got over that phase
• Tried Ecstasy, Coke, Shrooms, Ketamine, Acid and DMT in that order
• Moved much close to the city
• Made tons of friends, really cultivated my social life

2010 is the year I'm really going to refine my drug use my limiting it to festivals and events. I'll be moving right in to Baltimore city, and perhaps finding a job right in the area too, I can't wait!

Wise words, you've done well to realise this and even more so to accept it.



Oh.... This year, probably wasn't the best and certainly didn't do what I had planned. Well actually that's a lie, I was a little lazy in setting goals and achieving much this year.
2010 should be a whole new ball game, marbles if you will.

Off to uni and hopefully starting a new job, will know about the job front soon.
Maybe i can shake this certain feeling and attitude I've harboured this year.

Sounds a wee bit too familiar.

It will get easier and the hurting will hurt less and less, just takes time which SUCKS BALLS but you'll come out of it all wiser and better prepped for your next relationship. Trust me on this one

And yay for all the engagements and marriages goin' on all up in here! So nice to see

 

[L2R]

my twenty oh nine includes but is not limited to:

-went to first doof, and reunited with my old love Lucy Savage Dyke. I can make fun of her name now that we are friends again.
-met some sweet bluers, both old and new.
-stepped down from bl staff
-moved from pyrmont to pyrmont but now have a massive balcony
-bought property and got tenant
-my pay finally reached a relatively acceptable standard
-started properly studying (uni) for the first time in my life
-finished my first short film and got rejected from every film festival i submitted to. got an imdb page out of it
-started learning a guitar, soon to switch to bass
-got a second cat who taught himself how to fetch, the smart little fucker
-got fish
-fell into the deepest pit of my addiction to shoes. got an annual shoe budget. used up my 2009 budget in no time. already tapped over a third of my 2010 budget.

Having said that, am hoping to land a job at AIMS early next year which would eliminate any chance of doing any postgrad study.

You get a job in AIMS, you better join your union. I work for them and will step on any fucker's neck who looks at you crosseyed.

Thanks man. It is the waiting for things to improve that's killing me. It's like pressing pause on your life while the world around you goes on as usual.

Yes indeedy!! We'll see how it goes. I may or may not be able to go to full-time study depending on my partner's income. Not sure how much I like the idea of being completely and utterly dependant on someone who isn't my parent but hey, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it :D

-went to first doof, and reunited with my old love Lucy Savage Dyke.

I am honoured to have been a part of this event

I'm a bit late but i havnt been here for months, this used to be my fave place on the web to go (but so many people have disapeared and the place has changed) *pouts*

2009

*my 2 year relationship with someone who i truley thought was my soulmate ended in the most toxix and vicious way (on his side) that i have ever experienced emotionally in my entire life. I guess deep down i knew he wasnt for me but really wanted him to be in retrospect.

*cos of the above i went through a big spiritual awareness and am now full of grattitude for all the universe throws at me. I am the most self assured i have ever been with myself and now make really good choices in all aspects of my life and have undertaken the 100% responsibility theory (which sounds really obvious and simple but can be rather complex) and know that i am the creator of my reality and i am not a victim of my circumstances anymore.

*moved into my own place after the break up (obviously)

*learnt the true meaning of forgiveness

*avoided getting into 3 relationships because i am not fixing or rescuing anyone anymore and only take what i deserve in life which is the best or nothing so i dont settle anymore.

*got a different haircut and dyed it blonde after being a redhead for 5 years

*truley really love life and me now
