I go into the city with the intention of sending in a phone to be repaired under warranty and take some photos and instead, I come home with a new record, a few Xbox games and season one of Skins. Always seem to spend more money when I am trying to save than when I'm not.

On a side note, The Cure sound hella awesome on vinyl!

Nothing really to say other than, holy crap it has been a very long time since I logged in here.

Just wanting to get the slightly depressing previous journal post from last year from my front page. Don't want to go back there again.

May see more activity from me on here, at least I want to pick up a camera again now...

Even though sometimes you dont want it to.



Me and Hayley broke up today. Well, I should say she broke up with me. The story of she doesnt love me any more and so on. The thing is, Im still deeply in love with her and care about her more than anything still. Guess it will heal with time, but when you devote yourself to a person for 2 years, its a pretty big adjustment at first, especially when your whole life changed just before you met them so everything you have done/been since has been influenced by them.


I know crying to DA wont help in the long run, but I feel that there are things that I need to say regardless of whether anyone will listen.


Everywhere I look in my room, I see things either from her or that remind me of her. All of the photos on my facebook have her in them, so I havnt brought myself to change the photo just yet. She was the first person that I really ever managed to tell absolutely everything to and vice versa. We both acknowledged that we know too much about each other and have been too big a part in each others lives at major points to just walk away for good. So maybe in a few weeks we will get together and talk about random things.


Even now, there are things that I have told her that I will never say to anyone else and only two people will ever know about them, me and her. She was the only person to actually stick by me throughout last year and I could never thank her enough for it. We've had some incredibly great times together and I will never forget them or her. Yes there were shit times, but the good times always made up for them and made it worth getting through the shit times. Looking back, we were both extremely lucky that we hit it off as well as we did given that we didn't know each other at all before we started dating. I guess you could say it was love at first sight, just that love faded for one of the two.


Im going to miss the little things the most I think. The text message at night just to say goodnight and i love you. Having someone to tell about whatever I did during the day. Having someone to say, 'have a good day' to. And I guess, having someone to be happy for when something good happened to them and knowing that someone is there for you no matter what. And most of all, having that person be there who you love unconditionally and you know they love you back, whose arms are the safest place in the world and who you know will always make you feel better. Just having someone to care about and to think about and to talk to about anything.


Im also really going to miss sending her random texts throughout the day about whatever just happened to me or what Im thinking. And most of all, her smile. Nothing could cheer me up like her amazing smile. It made me feel like all was good in the world and that nothing could go wrong.


My god, I miss her so much

What to and what from you may ask? Well, from Vista to Ubuntu of course and I really do not know why I didn't do it sooner. And, it runs better than a mac as well

The whole thing just works so well. About 20 mins after a clean install on my laptop, I had an up to date system and was running around the house on the internet. I've got support for the RAW files from my camera, my iPod, DVD play back and even a straight swap for Adobe Illustrator. Of course photoshop is covered thanks to the Gimp (who ever said it was a backwards program to use was lying out of their ass).

Compiz Fusion is well, awesome. Perfect eye candy to make even the most hardcore mac user jealous and more than enough to get constant oohs and ahhs from windows folks.

I am slowly starting to take more photos. Hopefully we get a few more decent storms soon with some more awesome lightning. The last two have been amazing to watch as they come in from the west (we have a great view that way too...).

Anywho, ciao for now.

Wow, pretty much two whole months since I have done anything on here. Been a bit busy with everything so here is a quick recap.

Uni has been rather crazy. I did several days the other week where I was at uni for more than 20 hours straight. Now I am half way through second semester so it will get a little crazy again soon before my break of a couple of months.

I haven't really taken any photos lately at all. Just couldn't be bothered. Although there was a wedding I went to at the start of August where I got some decent results. Might upload some later on.

I am half thinking of moving to Melbourne at some point in the next 3 years and finishing my degree down there, but in the nearer future, I am trying to organise another holiday down there. Just have to try and sweet talk the girl friends parents into letting her go with me (hey, we will have been together for over two years by then).

I've bought a few new records too. The best of which is the new Living End album, White Noise. While it sounds good on CD, it sounds so much better on the black plastic disc. Speaking of CDs, my collection of them is slowly growing as well.

Oh and this laptop will be going off to get repaired soon too. It's had so much go wrong with it over the last month that I don't trust it too well so I won't take it with me to uni.

Anyways, uni time.

Ciao.
