I suppose the biggest thing happened just after my last post.

Saturday 30th September 2006 at 6:12pm

*THE CRASH*

Yes.....*THE CRASH*.....

It looked to be an average to good weekend. Owen was down for the friday evening with Jess and so we decided that Ricky and I would come and have a few drinks at the house they were staying just along the road.
It was a good night sharing a bottle of wine and then a trip out to StarBucks for a coffee and to see Russell.
I however didnt want to be too late because I had plans for the following day...

On the Saturday my Dad was partaking in a road Rally around the Palmserton North area. Relativly close to Wellington in comparison to Tauarnaga or other rally events, so I decided that I would come and watch...

It was a good day the sun was out and I saw some great rallying from a wide selction of NZ drivers.

At about 5pm I decide that I do not really want to attened proze giving and that I would rather drive home...so I leave the motel....

**NO MEMORY**

Next thing I know I wake up in Palmerston North Hospital a few days later. With a very sore head. Sore Knee. and a sore Pelvis. With no recolection as to why and what was going on.

Here is what happened....

I was drivin home ready for a dinner cooked by my bubby Ricky, minding my own business. The straight roads were getting rather tiresome...and then it looks like I fel into a Micro-Sleep for a minute, if that.

Unfortunately this happened while I was driving, and Just before a corner and so my car did not take the corner but instead went straight ahead crossing the centre line.

Perhaps more unfortantely...there was a car heading the other way......This meant.....*HEAD ON AT HIGH SPEED**

So from that I suffered a brain injury, and fractures to my eye socket, my knee cap, and my pelvis. I was in hospital for 3 weeks in total. 2 in Palmy and one in Tauranga.

Such extreme cermamstancs made me realise that life was short. I saw the bigger picture of life, as I think those around me did.

And although it was not the most romantic way of asking,, laying in a hosital bed, I asked Ricky, my bubby, THE QUESTION.

And he said YES!!!

But we wont formalise it for a while yet.

I learnt alot from my CRASH and one thing was DONT DRIVE TIRED!!!!!!!


I also learned how great some people can be...

I wish to extend a MASSIVE THANK YOU to PETER!!!! We Have not known you long but you have already done more for us than I could ever expect!!

I also wih to thank OWEN, RUSSELL, and ROB. For your vists and help throughout the tramua! I OWE YOU ALLl

I also am very glad to have Ricky in my life. At this time he was the one the kept me going and gave me reason to want to live, a reason to be glad I survived. I thank ypu so mch baby for everything and for syaying by my bedside for 19 hours a day! For the garfield for everything!!!!


ANyway that will do for now...

Update!!!!

OMG so I havn't Updated my blog in like forever!!

What has happened in the last few month?? Alot!!

Firstly though, I need to make somthing clear and let people who read this know something. Until a few months ago I thought that it could go without being said. But now it does.

I am gay. Thats right bolg readers, I am Gay. Sorry if it is a shock and I hope it doesnt change anything I am still me.

Anyway, so why now to "admit it?"

Well, I have a Boyfriend!!

His Name is Ricky. We have been going out for over three months. (We started on the 6th of the 6th 06.

We now live togther in a flash apartment in Mt Cook Wellington. Its way better than my old my house! The shower Gel doesn't freeze for a start!!

He is a bartender by trade. One of the Best in New Zealand! It is just a shame that not everyone else around here thinks the same.

He moved from Christchurch not long before we met and Wellington has not worled out for him as well as he thought. I personally am glad he did, otherwise I would not have met him! But simmilarly I don't like to see him unhappy, obviously.

He is Hot! hahaha and really nice guy, most of the time hahaha. I wouldnt want anyone else anyway.

But yeah, so a summary of what happened over the last few months.

Mid May - Owen's Sister fell ill and went into hospital so Russell and I went up to give him support. Ricky was staying with Russell at time and he came along to, that is how we met. We have barely been apart since.

06/06/06 - Ricky and I start to Offically "go out."

Late June - Holiday In Tauranga! Ricky and I spent 2 weeks up in Tauranga and were later joined by Dom, Dave , Rachel and Jim. It was an awesome trip! We had sun! We had drink. We had food! We lived the high life!

Early July - We come back from Tauaranga and I start 2nd Semester.

Late July - I come out to my parents! Was not the best of responses but with time things may improve!

August - Ricky Jim and I move to Our new House on Hanson Street!

September - I Decide that I will drop Psychology and only do Marketing for my degree.

But yeah thats all I can be bothered with now. Will update with pics soon!

Byeeeeeeee

PS new phone: Ask for my new number!

Ok, so, at the request of certain people, I need to update my blog, but with what?

Oh dear god
Why
Every time I go to write my Blog
Nothing Happens
,

Really. I don’t,
Understand. Am I,
Stupid? Or is it,
Some other Reason.


Absolutely
Nothing Comes to mind When I am
Due to write my blog


I have done so much, yet


Have nothing to say
And nothing to write
Due to the fact that there is so much to say!


Coffee with friends
Owen wanting support
Friends meeting for lunch
Friends going to Palmy
Everything else
Entertaining? You bet it is!

Okay so again I haven’t been updating my blog. Here goes.The Last few weeks have been…….interesting. I do not wish to go into detail here, there is too much to list, and a lot that I would rather forget. I do not really know what caused me to lose such control of my life but something did, and now it will stop. As of now, I am regaining control of who I am and what I do.I may not go fully back to who I was before, but this is because the last few weeks has been an experience that has taught me a lot.I have made mistakes in the past. We all have. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for such mistakes. I am sorry for the times that I have behaved completely inappropriately. I am sorry for the times I have seemed distant and I am sorry for the times that I have seemed needy/clingy or even obsessive. This has not been my intention.
I would like to thank those of that continue to stand by me, through the good times and the bad. I hope you know who you are. From the wider circle of friends I have to the close, you have done your part in making my life feel rather complete.
I do however also wish to point out that I do not want to make a big deal of it. Although there have been some major mistakes made in the last few weeks I also believe that so long as I regain control as of now then my life can be the best it has ever been.
I feel at home in the city of Wellington. I have stronger, more solid friendships than ever before, and I also feel content with the overall social status that I currently hold.
Although I cannot thank everyone I would like to thanks certain people in particular.

Owen, in recent weeks we have really bonded and I no longer feel so alone in the way I sometimes think. Thanks mate.

Dom, we met at the beginning of this year, I was determined to make good friends with the first person I spoke to in a lecture this year and I did. Thanks for not judging me through some of my difficult times.

Aidy, we also met recently but you also hold an ability not to judge me and always be supportive, important for a good friendship.

Sarah, thanks for being a supportive flat mate and a good friend.
And a thank you to everyone who sticks by me, who gives me the time of day and who considers me a friend. It means a lot to me.

Now, there are probably a lot of my pommy mates also reading this, I have not forgotten you, you’re still my mates too, even I don’t talk to as much. I hope you are all well, drop me a lone sometime.
I don’t want you to think this has been an emotional outburst, but more something I feel the need to do, and now is as good time as any. I am ready to move on from mistakes, and most importantly learn from them so that they are not made again.
So yes, really that is all I have to say.
In summary, sorry for my mistakes, thanks to my mates, and lets get on and have a fantastic future! I may make slip ups, I wont deny that, but keeping control is the key, and that is what I will now do. I will with luck be more chilled, more in control, work harder and enjoy life. I will be the best I can be because I know I can be. On perhaps a less deep note, I would say that after Friday I really do love my job, yeah its boring at times, but its really quite exciting at others, I love being part of a team that puts on these events at the stadium. I now feel part of it and it’s a great feeling.So yeah, have a good one people!Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee

This is a Blog Update

This is a Blog Update. Well, for some reason I have only updated this blog after going to Masterton. Yes I have been there again, and went to Owens houses n chatted until am before driving home. I was shattered as.For Easter I went up north it was great, I met the easter bunny, who was not impressed as I just about killed my cousin because of driving a high powered jet boat after drinking two bottles of vodka straight, not fun!

Russ is a bastard, as I invited him to my house tonight to be entertained by Owen’s amazing redentions of the escalator song and the ostrich song on the flat’s resident Piano who we have named Ella, but he decided listening to that two bit, hokey whorish American idol judge Paula I look like a pug dog Abdul would be more entertaining.  May a flight of flea infeasted bald eagles peck out his eyes for smiting us!

Owen has commendered my computer and has been stealing all of my bourbon without permission and has taken over my blog entry completely.  I am crying in the corner of the room clutching my chest with one hand and a beer with the other, slowly creeping toward the other side of life, which some people call death.  I can the see the white light now and am walking toward it.  It is very pretty, oh wait now it’s purple.  I shouldn’t have taken that LSD earlier, stupid monkey feeding me drugs

Well, that was interesting.  I am never letting Owen update my blog again

Life

Right, so, I have neglected my Blog for ages. Why? Well, I have been pretty busy and haven’t had the energy or the time to really. (Well I have, but at these times updating my Blog wasn’t high on the list of things to do.

So, what have I been busy with? Well, just average uni stuff mainly. Classes and lectures have taken up a fair amount of time, as has studying for tests and of course going to the Pub. Dom n I now have 58 Tui Dollars, that means that we can almost buy a Tuiversity T shirt, but as its only one were probably getting hip the trucker hat first. (Wow! Pretty Amazing Huh!?)

A few weekends ago I helped Russ move house. His new place is way nicer than his old one, even if it is a much longer walk for me to get there, or more importantly back, after a few drinks at his place the day he moved, it took me 3 hours to walk home. I have no idea how or why, but seemingly it did. I have a bad feeling I may have fallen asleep somewhere along the way. Good Times though, and I am glad Russ is in a place without his evil Ex-flat mate.

So, this last weekend…..well, I ended up going up to Masterton again, this time with Dom. The Rimiatakas were a lot more fun this time due to little traffic. So yeah Dom n I went to his old place/parents place and had some food, which was nice, then his sister (Gabe) took us to their friends house where Dom n I had far too much of this other guy’s (Step-han) home brew Rum. Then we went to some bar and I got accused of being scruffy, I was not impressed, but after a few drinks, and hearing the live band, (who were seemingly really good) as well as a chat with some cops about god knows what, we went back to Stephan’s. Our memories slip off a bit at this time, and by the sounds of it that’s a good thing, But ah well, doesn’t look like there is any long term damage..

So, after going to sleep on a couch at 4am I wake up at 6 30am, I feel alright, but me thinks that I was still a bit boozed. Anyway, as the morning goes on, im feeling worse n worse, but sobering up enough for my drive home to Welly. I get home, wash, shave, change n walk to work. Work starts at 2pm. First day on the job, half an hour training, and a hangover, yes! For those that are not aware, I was working as cooperate security for the Hurricanes vs Crusaders Game at Westpac Stadium, Go me! So basically it involved me standing for 7 and a half hours before walking home at about 9 30pm. By the time I get home I’m shattered and go to bed.

Sunday I studied with Dom for our tests.

Busy Busy.

Till next time….

Laterz
