Quick! Get in the car it's a Lion!

Hullu,

It's been quite some time since I blogged, I'd like to be able to say that it is because I have been on amazing mission into outer space and was quite simply too busy and overwhelmed to write.

But that would, of course, be a lie. A lot has happened in the past five months, some good, some bad, some really, really good and some really, really bad. Instead of doing a re-cap of it I shall simply quote Steinman/Meatloaf:

"There were nights when the wind was so cold, that my body froze in bed at night if I just listened to it right outside the window. There were days when the sun was so cruel that all the tears turned to dust and I just knew my eyes were drying up forever.

I finished crying in the instant that you left and I can't remember where or when or how.. and I banished every memory you and I had ever made.

There were those empty threats and hollow lies and whenever you tried to hurt me I just hurt you even worse and so much deeper.

There were hours that just went on for days.

But you were history with the slamming of the door and I made myself so strong again somehow. And I never wasted any of my time on you since then.

There were moments of gold and there were flashes of light. There were things I'd never do again, but then they'd always seemed right. There were nights of endless pleasure."

Song lyrics aside, life is - as is the norm, pretty busy these days. But it's good. I am happy and enjoying everything that goes on around me. Work is good, freenode/PDPC takes up my spare computer-y time but that's good also. I'm getting better at making time for fun though, and am enjoying things like going to gigs, visiting museums, going to the theatre and having some proper good jolly-ups in fantastic company.

I am also spending a good chunk of my time at the gym, aiming to do a half-marathon with Bryan (kloeri) in june! Go us! And I've taken up one on one boxing lessons -- which is tremendous amounts of fun. On the subject of er, close contact sports.. I may have developed somewhat of a thing for rugby. This may be a sign that my britification is nearing completion.

Though, perhaps a more telltale sign is the fact that while I may have a "thing" for the rugby I am enveloped in a bizarre obsession with the cricket (whether this is at all related to terribly sexy tall batsmen or not I am still unsure).

Speaking of obsessions.. I am going through a 80s phase at present too. Trying not to take it too far and doing my best not to purchase a pair of really dodgy looking white stilettos!

I made a really difficult decision a while back and choose to resign from Gentoo.

Er, I think that's about it for a canned update. Right now I am mainly just counting down to Easter, which shall, of course, be filled with nights (and days) of endless pleasure!
