Well after having spent much time with my friend Christian, he has now gone back to the U.S. (he's the "cuddlebuddy" that I was referring to earlier). He lived in Wellington for three months, and he and I got to know each other really well. He is a good, kind, and caring guy, as I found out in the time that he was here.

I went up to Auckland with him yesterday, so that I could see him off -- we took the bus from Wellington (a ten hour trip!), and arrived in Auckland at about 7 p.m. We went straight to our hotel, showered, got changed, and then went out for dinner. He showed me around downtown Auckland, as he lived there for a few months, and then went back to the hotel. Today, we got up, had breakfast, and then strolled around downtown Auckland. We took the train from the impressive underground Britomart Station out to Newmarket, and then bussed back in (just to fill a couple of hours -- Christian lived out there, so wanted to show me that suburb). We then went to the airport via shuttle, and said our goodbyes (then I flew back down). Naturally, I'm sad to see him go, but I'm going to see him again someday.

So that's the big news in my life! Exciting, eh?!

It's definitely time to get a new job! I'm sick of having it implied that I can't do my job, and that I can't handle customers. I'm sick of being watched over all the time, and I'm sick of the abuse that I get from both customers and a certain someone that I work with.

I'm not going to last another month at my job. Hence the reason why I'm sending out my résumé, and getting as many interviews as I possibly can.

In other, more positive, news: I have found a "cuddle-buddy"! He's from the U.S., he's very cute and likeable, and he seems to like me well enough. Of course, nothing serious is going to come of it, as he's going back home in July, and there's no way in hell that I'm going to get too attached. But it's a nice situation to be in.

Well, after a long, and generally shitty week, I'm about to embark on a new one. I had a few plans for the weekend, which didn't come to pass, but hey, I'm used to things not working out! I've also just chatted with a friend (fucking awesome bloke, but he said something that made me upset), and now I'm feeling like absolute crap. It could be due to the late hour, and being tired, but I'm really upset now, and feel like crying.

I have met someone a new friend, and he seems pretty alright. I definitely have no expectations for this friendship, because, ultimately, expectations only lead to me being upset and down for ages. I'm definitely keen to get to know this dude better, but right now, I'm comfortable staying single -- singledom means no upset, no heartache, no worrying, no overthinking. It also means no regular hugs and cuddles, no romantic gestures, and no companionship. But that's the price I pay, maybe one that's worth paying to avoid all the bullshit. Maybe, someday, I'll find someone who isn't a cheating, lying, misleading son-of-a-bitch, eh? (Cal and Tim, I know you read this blog, and you're both totally the opposite of what I just described.)

Valentine's Day. Well, wasn't that a crock of shit? If I ever date again, I would never rely on a commercialized holiday to show the bloke I'm with how much I love him. Flowers and gifts are something that I would give just randomly, on any day of the year, not just on February the 14th! (For the record, I haven't given a guy flowers for about five years now. Maybe I'm not that much of a romantic guy, but it would help to be with someone for more than a few weeks for a fucking change.)

Damn, I could really do with a hug right now. I'm kinda fucked off about everything right now.

Well, it would be nice to find someone who's into me. I've gone through yet another break up (I guess that's what you call it when you stop dating a person). I know that I keep making the same mistakes when it comes to men (ie: jumping into things too quickly, not getting to know the guy properly before agreeing to going out with him. Etc, ad infinitum).

I guess that if the time comes that I can stop this vicious cycle, then I might be ready to be with someone. Feeling kinda nauseous right now actually.

It looks like that someone kinda likes me!!!

"If you don't hurry up, you're gonna come last!"

Sorry about the last post, evidently I was in a bit of a grumpy mood.

Well, I have decided that I am no longer going to look for "someone" to be with. I feel that I'm getting more out of my friendships than I could ever get out of a relationship. If I want the idealized version of "companionship" that everyone seems to crave these days, then hell, I'll just buy a dog! Dogs are loyal, and are always happy to see you -- they're better than some people!

Finding someone real is too much of a time-consuming and frustrating process, and I want to be done with it!

(Isn't the song I'm playing entirely ironic? Haha!)

Hey all,
well I bought two new computers on Tuesday (December 5th) -- they were part of a "bundle deal" through Harvey Norman (a major electronics/furniture retailer in New Zealand).

My main machine is a Compaq Presario with an AMD 64 X2 5000+ Twin Core processor, 4 GB RAM, and 200GB hard drive. It has a multi-card reader, a DVD burner, AND separate CD burner. It also has an NVidia GeForce 7600 GS graphics card. I also have a Compaq Presario laptop, which is a cool little machine.

I'll definitely be buying some good games for the desktop machine to test its capabilities.

I am so excited about the possibilities of these computers!
