Well I guess the world needs to know...

Matt and I broke up.

It's been a year stewing and a week deciding. It couldn't go on like it was. There were great moments, and there were terrible moments, and a lot of mediocrity. Just dragging that on would be bad for both of us and we both agree completely this time. Unlike last times where it's been a bombshell and I've turned out a blubbering mess.

This time it was pretty much instigated by both of us. Sure it's sad, but not a tragedy. We're still friends. We still love each other. We will still cook and drool over food porn together. I will still whine at him when I have computer trouble. He will still come to my house to get a decent feed. We will still pine for the roller coasters of the world together. I'll stay at his house most weekends until I can bloody MOVE OUT!

If it was such a tragedy why do I have this light, giddy feeling? My big problem now is just, going places. I would on my own but these days at night it's just too fucking dangerous because there are assholes everywhere, so I need someone to show me a good time. I can see a lot of petrol being used. *sigh*

Cos - I'm sorry to hear about you and Matt. I'm excited for you too though....who knows what lies ahead! I'm know there'll be many adventures and escapades. It must be such a relief for you if things haven't felt right for along time. ((hugs))

You know...

Northbridge isn't as bad as you think. I mean, I wouldn't relish going around there alone, but I've walked down the street there on my own to get food before, whilst friends are in pubs. Not often though. But really, if you're with someone it's fine. And even if you're not, it's not *that* bad.

I honestly think Perth is worse. :)

Yeah but there's always the risk of stupid around. I wish it was something that didn't need to be worried about.

I'm especially paranoid after the whole Chicken Treat saga. }:-\

Sorry to hear the news, but I guess it all for the best in the long run if you guys have been having issues..
See you at the next party :)

I'm glad you're all giddy about this. It's fairly sad but it seems to be for the best. It's great that you're both still friends.

As for going out and being shown a good time. That's what we(your friends) are for. You feel like going out, poke us, you'll be able to find legions of willing people. The petrol expenditure will quite suck but being social is worth the price.
Feel free to poke me any time :)

Hope you achieve your goal of moving out, it would be grand :)

I know what you mean about going out after dark, I feel the same way. Luke called me paranoid because I didn't want to get the bus home from uni after dark when my car broke down. Sorry, no. I'd rather be overcareful than dead.

condolences/congrats on the breakup (take your pick, LOL) It is very melancholy, but on the other hand, new beginnings are good.

If you're looking for someone to hang out with, you can always call me, though... I often need to be dragged out cos I get too used to being a couch potato, but Luke'll prolly assist.

*hugs*

hi

I know i dont comment often on your live journal - hardly ever, infact - but I guess i just wanted you to know that, way over here in England, i can relate to the whole breaking up thing.

When I broke up with my ex, I felt like my world had temporarily ended - it must have taken me at least 8 months to fully get over it, and we were only together for a year! Looking back now, I realise that I should have acted differently, but hey! thats life!

Anyway, the point of this looong post is that life does go on, you do meet new people (whether you want to or not!), and that it does get better. I hope that it all goes so much better than what it did for me, and Im always ready to moan about men if you feel like it!

So good luck, and I hope it goes well for you - I know you two were together for a while, and it is hard, but there is light at the end of the tunnel somewhere :D

(ps im drunk! so sorry if this doesnt make sense!)
