Paper Blog

So two months has passed, and a lot has happened. I kept meaning to update my blog but things were happening so fast that I kept waiting for things to die down so the update would be complete, but things never did die down. Since Sebastian, I've dated a few more people. Notably among them is Zach. Zach I met at parking one night, a few weeks before Xmas, and we seemed to hit it off quite well. He's 20, and I should have known I would get the "I'm just not ready for a relationship" speech but I was blinded by enthusiasm, as usual. It's just as well I suppose, as I've met a new guy, who again lives in Toronto. At least I'm consistent. David I met at new years at stereo, and he's a super awesome guy. He's 33, a paramedic, really good looking, even though he's not typically my type. It's refreshing to be with someone who isn't typical for me though. I'm never really sure what to expect. And it's nice to be with someone who isn't poor, someone who can take me out to dinner once in a while, and will accept it when I offer to return the favour. a lot of the guys I date seem to be good looking fluff. No character, no brains. Not so with David, and its nice. He's already come back to visit me once since new years a week ago, and he just left a few hours ago to go back home. What an awesome weekend this was, tho I was very tired on Saturday during my shift. More to come on David as it developed.

I got a new job. Yep, started working again, full time in a call center. I work at HSBC in the Auto Finance department. I wont bore you with the details, and trust me, it is boring, but its steady, good pay, and a job I can keep, even if I move away as there are offices everywhere in the world. I started at the end of November, so already I know I can keep doing it, even though it is quite boring.

Christmas came and went like it always does, but I have to mention, it was not the same for me this year at all. I am normally the one who goes crazy at Christmas, buys tons of presents, blasts Christmas music. This year I was actually not looking forward to it, which is probably why it came up so fast. With everything that's happened to me this year, it's hard to get excited about a day with presents and turkey. Not to say all that happened was bad, it's just that it was eventful, and frankly, not much can really stack up to it. 2006 will be one of the years I will always remember, for the rest of my life. New years you reflect back on the year, at accomplishments and failures, dreams aspired to and dreams reached. With the blow thing coming out, breaking up with Sean, falling for a guy who lives in New Jersey, a series of unfortunate dates, losing the job I had for 5 years and starting a new job, its been one hell of a ride. Life goes on in a similarly faced paced fashion. I've learned a lot these last 12 months, and I am a little wiser, a little more jaded and a little more aware.
