High On Life

Don't say I didn't warn you that I ride quite the emotional rollercoaster!!

Here I am, back at the top of the rollercoaster, and I'm hoping I stay up here for a while. Not keen to go zooming back down thanks!


It all started with a fantastic weekend. I met my new friend M, and ended up spending the next 36 hours with him. They were 36 of the most awesome hours ever. I haven't felt that comfortable in someones presence for a long time (ever?). I can't even remember the last time I spent that much time with someone! No awkwardness, just awesomeness. It really makes me smile.

Today was a bit of a blah day at work, and I did have a bit of a whinge to my colleague at lunchtime. I also very nearly fell asleep. Oops.

A second wind hit me when I got home though (or perhaps it was the sugar from the chocolate I had) and I was disgustingly/delightfully productive. I went for a walk to return a DVD (was cranky with myself for not wearing the appropriate clothing to jog! Shock!), before I left I put a load of washing on. I cooked myself a proper-ish meal, transferred the clothes to the dryer, coloured my hair, shaved legs and armpits ... Unheard of for me on a weeknight! Especially a Monday night!

Then it all improved when I was invited to watch State of Origin with M on Wednesday night. I'm really looking forward to hanging out with him again. Oh, and bless him, he's even going to pick me up from work and drop me off in the morning. He's seriously a totally lovely guy, and I feel so happy to have met him. Yes, I realise I'm talking about 'Yet Another Guy' but meh. I'm single and I'll do what I want. I have faith that this is the start of a wonderful friendship.

Right now, my life rocks.

your optimism makes me happy about my future. It's like, whatever happens, happens, you are just enjoying today. And that is awesome.

Thanks Mr O.
I'm a firm believer in things happening for a reason. I've been through far too much crap in my life to dwell on the negatives.
Sometimes it's hard to enjoy everyday, but I try my darnedest to keep smiling.
I try and live by this line from a Living End song (Raise the Alarm): "Life doesn't always stand to reason, no-one ever gets a chance to live it twice"
