Title
So,
I just actually noticed that i havent posted in about a week. It doesnt actually feel that long as i think that group email i sent yesterday filled the void. Unfortunately the damn photos didnt attatch which is hella annoying, so if i can get on the broadband computer upstairs tomoz ill try to re-attatch them thats if i havent already deleted them :O.
Well i just got back from the West End, Leciester Square to be precise, after meeting up with Mahsa's cousin Shera. Shes a very nice lady and i also met her friend Jason who was a really nice guy too. Im not entirely sure how Mahsa is related to her but i think its her mums, brothers daughter. I think that makes it Mahsa's aunt. Shera also has a daughter called Roya who was one of the nicest people i met from the Kahdem family. I spoke to her and once i come back to england i will definately meet up with her and see some stuff. Tonight was pretty cruizy too, had a few drinks at a random pub and then we caught one of these half bike half taxi things, Jason named it a Tri-taxi, that is a Tricycle taxi. They seem to belong more in a setting like Bali then in like London but they were heaps of fun to catch and suprisinly quick. After having a quick ride Shera and Jason dropped me at the station, but i decided i should go have atleast one more beer so i did at the aussie pub 'the walkabout'. To my suprise i didnt see too many aussies in there besides the bar staff which was quite funny. Hehe just checking there website too hehe quite a toot.
What else has been happening...not too much today was pretty chill which is good cause kinda just wanted a few days to get things sorted before switzerland as been away first 3 days of the week. Tomorrow got a BBQ at Amy's weather permitting which should be good cause i wanna meet her flat mate which i met years ago during uni. Also i have calculated i have 18pounds left to keep me till monday (not including a train ticket to the airport) so me on a lil' budget.
Funnily my mum called us here today to say she got home alright, and that the house was spotless dog and cat washed and everything fine. Weird thing is Diane the lady im staying with told me she basically called just to check on me and make sure im alright. Hehe pretty funny as ive only been here alone for 24hours, im sure she wont be calling too often, but i definately gotta send em emails to keep them upto date.
Ive been thinking more about what to do on my trip back. Like unfortunately its quite hard to keep in contact with marcelle in India, im guessing cause she doesnt have much access to the net, but hopefully she will email me back. But im thinking of skipping India and maybe go to Japan. But ill have to wait and see how things turn out and see if i have enough cash too. The whole india/nepal and western asia thing feels like it should be an entire trip by itself and that i wont be doing it justice by just seeing a little part. So if i can get a quick taste of Japan and check that out ill be happy with that as i dont know what to expect from it.
Other thing is, been thinking about what ill do when i get back. I think i will work for about 6-12months solid to save some cash. I dont know if it will be at JB's or if i should search for another job, i guess ill have to wait and see how many hours i get or if i wanna find one of those 'professional jobs'. I dont know even if i would want to do that but have to see. I think if I work a solid 6months ATLEAST i will get the travel bug again and be able to travel for a longer period of time, especially if i can do Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and India/Nepal. Who knows mabye my plans will change but im trying to think/set some kinda of thing to work for. Only other thing i really want to do is a season at a winter place to improve my snowboarding, that is work at a snow resort, be fun and interesting.
I guess i do like being by myself at the moment, still being selfish and like that. I dont really want to share myself with anyone...not as in..not open up..but as in a relationship if that makes sense. Hehe i guess u call it relationship-denial. Some times you look back on stuff and think to yourself why certain things happened or why you thought in such a way and u definately cant regret one minute of it. Even if you dont like certain things, as if you regret it or you didnt do it then i might not be typing this right now. I think sometimes there was a defining situation where i felt our relationship could of ended earlier, i mean alot earlier. You realise that maybe you werent so right for eachother as you once thought.....i think sometimes that we were totally different, totally...maybe that was part of the attraction too. Then othertimes you think u can spend the rest of your life with that person. Weird how it goes to such extremes. I guess thats the good and bad thing about relationships. It definately tests you with highs and lows all part of the thing you call experience or 'life'.
bada bada bah. Life its a funny thing. I talk to my mum and even Diane about stuff, about how it is to be at my age. Age is so emphasised. I guess its just normal to put people in to catergories with age. Like because your 22 you are at THIS stage in your life. You should be doing THESE things. As when i talk about what i want to do and that i dont sometimes know what to do its like they understand but at the same time pressure you into doing certain things. Its like they know that your young, free and whatever and that they have experienced that too, but they still want you to get married or get a stable job. I dont know if its society which makes them still tell you to do this even though i think somewhere they still want you to be free. I hope this makes some kind of sense. I guess it is society. In Australia or most western countries theres this thing about having to have a good job stable job, having a girlfriend and a house with a mortage. I dont neccessary think its even a bad kind of pressure, in our society you have to work hard to even afford a decent unit little known a house. You basically have to go into debt to get one, then you have to work off that debt. Then you get married have a kid and work hard to support your family. Definately nothing wrong with working hard to support your family. One day when i have a family...cant actually wait till that happens...but i would do anything to support it. Funnyingly enough i have felt that feeing once before. The whole support feeling..its a great feeling aslong as both people are at the same level.
Hmm this blog is quite random and all over the place..i guess my mind is atm. Back to what i want to do when i get back. I also wanna enrol in some Tafe 12 month course for IT or something. I was thinking about doing a shortcourse in photography and also TESL. Seems if you have a teaching english as a second language certificate you can get a job nearly anywhere (i think its TESL or is it TEFL ive forgotten). But then i was thinking...a way to travel and study? why not go do a IT degree at UTS or a uni and then just transfer to another country. It would have to be english speaking country cause i suck and dont know any other languages but thats not all bad. Canada i think is most popular...scotland..ireland even england...though i prefer ireland or scotland. Hmm maybe u can even go to another non-english country and do it...but i dont know how that would work. Hmm i guess theres alot i want to do...i guess when you away from everything you have lots of time to think about what u want for your future...i guess now all i have to do is, well do it.

ps. might be heaps of spelling mistakes and stuff but me tried so cbfd to go through :) ciao.
