Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows

Life is good.

Can't say that, a month after breaking up with the only person I ever considered spending my whole life with, I ever would have expected to be so content. But I am, even though it seems sometimes that people are trying to make my life difficult.

I've got some good things happening right now. And while some of them are not all together a secret, I'm just keeping a bit quieter than usual in one respect.

- Work -
I've got an endless expanse of opportunity ahead of me. I've been tossing around the idea of finding work on a cruise ship (I always inadvertently type "shit" when I write that!) for a few months next year. It was something I wanted to do a few years back but kinda forgot about. I know a girl that's been doing it for a few years and loves it, so I'm hoping to get a few pointers there. And what a great opportunity to work and travel!?

Other than that, my great plan of being able to go back to Australia on a different passport might be failing. I did a bit of research into it recently and I have a feeling it's not as easy as I would have hoped. However, I am still going to get my Irish passport so that I can work in Europe later.

I think I've decided to stay here in London until at least Christmas this year. I don't know exactly what I'll do after that, but that's kinda what I'm thinking right now. Obviously not going to just ditch my job... will likely aim to have a replacement before I take off anywhere. I'm sure the boss will appreciate it.

- Living -

I found a roommate!! I'm super excited about this too. I answered an ad on kijiji and we both hit it off right away. The girl that's moving in is about 21, has a dog, is into photography and is pretty much the same as I am when it comes to music/movies/etc. So I think things will go really well! She's moving in June 1st. The other great thing? She's not a student and thus isn't taking off anywhere any time soon - which means I wont' have to search for someone to live with me afterwards!

- Adventure -

My next big trip is out to Vancouver for Canada day weekend. However, not certain how that's going to go. Originally we (Trishelle and I) were planning on staying with S and wD, but with my breaking up with DJ things have gotten awkward there, apparently. Not on my end, mind you, more so on wD's. So now the question remains: Where do we stay if we are to go out to Vancouver? Hostel? Hotel? Or do we go to Vancouver at all? I was looking into changing my flights and where we could go for the same price - and if we're having to spend money on a hotel anyway, why not go somewhere exciting? So I've been considering Nassau, Bahamas a little bit.

Who knows though, maybe things will be okay a month from now.

Other than that, I'm heading up to Ottawa this weekend and taking Ren with me. Trishelle was supposed to come for the weekend but bailed on me for who knows why now... at least I still have Ren. The weather should be beautiful... I'm so looking forward to the time off work.
