Cheers guys smile

I'm on my lunch break now so only have a quick minute.

I'm feeling so over Port Douglas now, the hostel is doing my head in as is the job being ignored by the boy is reminding me of exh days. I'm tempted to just book a flight to Perth asap. Is that running away??

No, it's not running away. You are supposed to be moving on as part of your goal; 'travelling the world' You'll want to organise your ticket soon before school holidays and prices go up.

It is not running away. Living in a hostel, having a disappointing relationship, and hitting the bars too often can be quite tedious.

Western Australia has surfing, the horizontal falls, dolphin encounters (Monkey Mia), and if you dont know how to surf, you can surf this.

Why not take the bus or train? Then you can say you have seen a large chunk of Australia.

But no decent surf IN Perth. You gotta go north or south for that!

If you can even get through the gauntlet of stop and go drivers.

Those articles are indeed very funny. I like this excerpt about my cities public transportation...

Portland boasts a comprehensive public transportation system known as Tri-Met. Busses, light-rail trains, streetcars, freak-bikes, horses, and jet packs operated by public employees cover nearly every destination in the metropolitan area. Tri-Met is designed specifically with the needs of drug dealers, petty thieves and hobos in mind. The buses and trains provide an ideal drug distribution network; the new Green Line MAX train opening in September was specifically designed to ship meth into town from Clackamas. They also ferry rich people into poorer areas of the city, bringing a mugger's business to his door-step. Additionally, all Tri-Met vehicles are air-conditioned, which makes them a perfect place for the city's homeless to beat the heat. However, since Portland has one of the highest bicycle to homeless person ratios in the nation, homeless people seldom use the facilities.

In 2005 Tri-Met celebrated the fact that public transportation-caused deaths slipped to third place on the list of most common causes of death in Portland, preceded by police shootings and caffeine overdoses. Bus and train-related deaths had skyrocketed in previous years. City officials became particularly concerned after each driver began painting a pedestrian on his or her vehicle for each person killed. Tri-Met turned back the tide in 2002 by making the Employee of the Month award based solely on who had the fewest kills that month. So far the record is held by Bob Cockman, who killed only 22 people in June of 2006.

Hey Julia

Sorry for late reply, have been on holiday!

No I don't have a current thread, only because there's not much to say about my life day to day now! I don't have any contact with my ex now (which I never thought would happen as was with him for 10 years and we grew up together and our lives were so intertwined) but I also now feel its probably for the best. So in that respect there's not much to write about! But if you want to send me an email and ask anything please feel free. I see soooooo many similarities between our situations, and all the feelings of insecurity that you have been feeling I went through too. I also had a couple of brief relationships with other guys after ex H so totally understand how you are feeling at the mo.

How have things panned out with the Boy? Are you still seeing him?

Take care

Lea
