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

My girlfriend makes plushies as well as various other things.

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.

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.

Yeah, just give her the time and space she needs. There's nothing else you can do, I guess.

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.

I totally understand that and I'm just glad I don't have to deal with stuff like that anymore. Or, at least not in the near future. ^^

Her opinion is still valid.

But biased.

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

I guess not, but there are individuals that are more biased towards one thing than others. :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. :)

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.

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.

Since I've never been to college (not my fault, we just don't have something that is comparable to a college ;) ) I cannot say which one is easier. I only know that I enjoyed going to university much more than I enjoyed going to school. But with all this Bachelor and Master crap going on here, I don't know if this still is true.

But Munich is always quite expensive. ^^
Even the rents for a flat are very high and among the most expensive you can find anywhere in Germany. Rents in Hamburg aren't exactly cheap either, but I live at the very edge of town. A few meters from here is the federal state border, heh. Rents here are moderate compared to rents in the heart of the city.

Slight improvement with things on my end. I'm still talking to her a lot and last night I have managed to gone without the talk of relationship or saying that I love her or anything like that. Our conversation felt smooth and although I can't know every single thing that goes on in her daily life, I'm sure that made her feel better in one way. Roll on Saturday for the fancy dress birthday party. Considering what she's set me up to go as for the party, she better have a smile on her face! :)

You see, I never went to uni and I don't think I will now. I'm in an ugly position where if I do go back to full-time education, the dole will be gone and I will not even have a damn penny left on me. That and it's a matter of starting college again and I had enough hell from that. Then again, I've been having enough hell from employers but either way it's a lose-lose situation and at least one of them is allowing me to have a benefit. It's a shit way of handling things but that's how it is. My girlfriend has a Saturday part-time job but doesn't even get a fraction of what I earn on a monthly basis.

Keep in mind that I do give my parents a regular payment so it's not all for me. It would be nice if it was but at least that money I do give them goes towards food and drink as well as some other bits and bobs so it's helping us out. They were actually willing to cut the monthly payment I owe them due to seeing my girlfriend but that was just around the same time we agreed on a break. Funny timing that. :P

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

But I still am sure she's way more biased than I am. :P

Ah but for now she's seeing me as a friend. That surely makes her less biased.

We'll find a place to go to in Germany eventually. Maybe have it coincide with a live show as Germany gets shit tons of things happening. Again, just going to Germany, it's all about getting that money first. I may have a manageable budget to keep my bank account growing but most of that money I'm able to save is for emergency cases. For example, if I did truly lose my iPod last month I would have had to shell out some of that money just for a replacement. It wouldn't have been pleasant but I wouldn't be bankrupt from it.
