Okay, I'm back.

Really sorry for being such a crappy blogger lately.  Honesty time: I've been dealing with a breakup and I have been miserable, and I didn't want to bore the interwebs with my whiny rubbishness.  But, I am starting to feel better, so now I feel ready to leap out of my shell and get on with my life.  I had a really great time with Todd and it's sad that things didn't work out between us.  But seriously, I am not the first person in the world to get broken up with so I've decided to stop feeling so damn sorry for myself.

So I got my unconditional for college, which means I will be moving about 200 miles away in 6 months' time.  REALLY excited about it!  I'm going to be doing a two-year course in Social Sciences, after which I hope to take a gap year, probably in Australia.  I have this *probably unrealistic* idea of working in a cafe on a beach for a year.  :P  But hey, why not?  You DO get cafes on beaches, therefore it is not impossible. :D

As for new relationships?  I'm not feeling particularly inclined to 'get involved' with someone anywhere in the near future.  A breakup is somewhat like grieving, in that you go through five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance.  So for anyone who cares... this is what I did:

Denial:  Of course he still loves me.  He just isn't feeling great.  It'll pass!

Anger:  He's being a douche.  Grr!  Show me some respect, jackass!  How DARE you treat me like this?!

Bargaining:  Well maybe if I just try harder... he'll feel better? :S

Depression:  He doesn't love me. *cries* WHY?  I am so lonely and sad!  I can't be happy!

Acceptance:  Okay, I am better off without this.  I don't love him any more anyway.

Obviously that is the bare mininum... you won't want to know the rest. :P

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this blog from hereon.  I think I might revamp it at some point, and try to find a way of 'hiding' previous entries, though I can't think of one that doesn't involve deleting them.  Hmm.  Will ask around about that.  Toodles!
