Now that's too bad. :(

It is. I can't say I'm feeling great overall but at least we're not avoiding each other. We've been speaking to each other a lot via text/Twitter so it's not the end. I'm hanging out with a friend of mine on Saturday who I don't get to see often and while she was planning to go to Manchester then when we are, she's not backing out just because I'll be there. If anything, she's willing to talk to me then in person so I look forward to seeing her. I know to keep the whole love thing down while I see her then unless her mood turns dramatically better. The most I'll even ask for at this time is a single hug but no more than that to keep her mind steady.

Eh, so much for saying that. Not only was it originally pushed back a week due to conflicts with college, now the whole thing has been put on hold until further notice.

Sorry to hear that, but I'm sure everything will work out just fine.

I'm sure it will. She still has me in mind and has said she'll want to see me outside together just like before when she's ready. Hopefully by Easter she's back to normal as it would be a shame to miss out on an opportunity to see each other a lot more while she has two weeks off college.

Bleh, it would have been.

Postponed is not abandoned!

Of course not. It's an utter disappointment when there was so much that was meant to have happened today but then it all got sidetracked and will be postponed for a couple of weeks. Ah well, as long as it's late and not never.

Her opinion is still valid.

But biased.

Is there even such thing as an unbiased individual? :P

My sister would like to go to Germany sometime so perhaps we will eventually sort something out. However, I'll need to see about working but saying that is just a laugh at this point. I've been unemployed for most of my time over the last 5 1/2 years.

Just make sure you come to Hamburg as well. :)

We'll see what can be done but don't be surprised if it's for Oktoberfest.

Don't you own an air mattress?

No, I sleep in a bed - why would I need one?

But apart from that, I can assure you that I am 99,99% straight. So you don't have to worry about anything if you'd share the same bed with me. ^^

It's not a high priority but you never know what you'll plan in life.

Well, ther last time I was over there, Bex and I just passed through (past) on the M6, heading to the Lake District. 4 years time, we are planning some sort of family trip to the Lakes for my mum - she announced this yesterday and she plans to leave dad at home, because he's a miserable old fart, plus he can babysit the chickens.

Cock jokes are still a thing? Even some at the meet have been wondering that.

I thought it was called for. I've not seen a good meme in years.

One could say they've not seen a good meme ever. :P

I felt it was called for :(

My girlfriend makes plushies as well as various other things.

What, you're dating MoriChax?

Does MoriChax make various things like bracelets?

Don't know, I've never asked her...

I wield a bat for a reason. When I field, that's what your hands are for.

And your reflexes.

Timing is everything - I'm still batting with my old bat and last night, I was hitting drives more crisply than ever before. Hopefully, I will be able to get some mileage out of these shots I've learned this winter.

It's bloody beautiful outside today! Just got back from a nice long hike in the woods and I daresay spring fever has officially set in. Hopefully I'll be able to start clearing out the debris from my garden this coming week, though it will be a while yet before the ground thaws enough to till.

Damn.

I've been able to see her today. Although things may be getting more and more intense right now, we were able to enjoy seeing each other. Plenty of hugs were given so we're still close to each other. I've spoken to a few friends today and they feel that I have done what I can to help her out but perhaps I shouldn't pressure myself to respond to her to every little thing she says on Twitter, Facebook, etc. However, for now it's a matter of giving her space and give her time to recover which I have agreed to do starting from earlier this week.

For now, I'm gonna look forward to upcoming events. Friend's fancy dress birthday party is next week and she'll be seeing me again then. The week after is seeing Ghost in London and then the last remaining weekend of March is Easter which has Doctor Who coinciding then. April has Helloween and Gamma Ray in London and then Sonata Arctica the following night both in London. May I haven't thought of much but might consider a weekend trip to Birmingham. June is when my parents will have their holiday and then July has my birthday, MCM Manchester and Wintersun live. I'm sure a few other things will pop up in between those big events and hopefully somewhere along the way my girlfriend will be back to her normal self. I think going easy on her while she still has college will be the best thing to do so all of that should be more than enough time.

Come to think about it, possible next plans with a trip with my family is going to Alton Towers in October. I really want to go on the upcoming ride and Halloween time is generally a good time to go there.

I only knew Mori for making plushies. I don't think I've seen her in ages.

Heh, I could have been crazy enough to have thought that.

Stick to humans mister dragon.

I know that feeling. I'd love to have a long list of users back on here but I just can't get what I want.

Well just thing, you'll be on someones list like that eventually.

So is she going to stay up here or something?

She can make her own way back. Nothing but trouble that one.

Surely it's self-aware. :P

Thanks. :) I'm doing what I can to hang in there. I'll admit that it's not easy to deal with not seeing her out on dates for a while now but there's still plenty of things for me to do over the coming months. That should be enough time for both of us to recharge ourselves.

Heh, I could have been crazy enough to have thought that.

Yeah, I know that's gonna happen. People come and go here with time they spend varying. I've been here for a long time so I'm sure it'll feel weird when you don't see much of me around here. I'm still trying to keep up on the site but it doesn't get any easier as time goes on. If I ever feel I'm done with here, it won't be a rash decision but rather carefully thought out.

So is she going to stay up here or something?

She can make her own way back. Nothing but trouble that one.

And all just for some Futurama plushies. You know there's a comic book shop in Liverpool that has them from time to time, right?

At this rate I'm gonna give it more time than originally said. Easter holidays begins in two weeks time so that may not be enough time. I'll look ahead as far as when she's finished with college. College is one of the major factors of stress on her life so when she gets through that, hopefully that'll be a load off her mind.

When me and my wife started seeing each other she had to study for her preclinical exam. So we couldn't see each other as much as we had liked to. Plus, she still lived with her parents (and I lived with my mom) in a very small suburb of Hamburg (I guess you can't even call it a suburb...). Tough times, but it's still something you can work out together.

Yeah, there is uni for her to look forward to in September and she has no idea where she'll be. She has a few places in mind, one of them being close to Liverpool but that one isn't her first choice. Wherever she'll go for uni, I'll do what I can to see her on a regular basis. Hopefully wherever she goes for uni she'll have a much better time than her second year in college. Uni won't be easy but if people are right in saying that it's an easier part of life than college, then there'll be less stress on her when she studies for the next three years or so.

Well don't think she's more biased than others just because she likes a certain dragon.

Well, she's giving the dragon a break for now.

Doesn't surprise me. There's a medieval festival in Tewkesbury and the hotel expenses can be extreme at that time and to think when I went there two weeks ago it was only for a tenner to stay for the night! I'll see what can be done to go to Germany somewhere down the line but I won't even take any abroad trips until I can get a job. Yes, I keep saying that all the damn time but I just can't do as much as I'd like to do until I'm earning good money.
