Perth in my sights! in The OpenDiary (OD) Days!

Perth in my sights! - 4/14/2004

I'm so excited hey! :)  On Saturday mroning I catch my flight to Perth!  My first ever plane trip it will be!  I'm so excited about both the plane trip AND the actual getting to see Perth bit.  Oh, and meeting one of my best friends in the world, Sam - he's such a good friend of mine, we've been through everything together yet never met - that is until Saturday! :)  I've been researching on how to get to the airport on time, writing a list of things I need to bring with me and getting slightly nervous about the whole experience.  It's quite a distance for my first ever flight.  My housemate Jo (who's coming over as well on a later flight) recommended that I bring something to do because it gets extremely boring - i'm thinking I might need a crossword book or some headphones - I mean, what else is there to do on a plane?  I don't even know what the inside of one looks like except for on movies i've seen :)

There's only one regret I have about leaving for Perth on Saturday, and that's that I'm going to miss Micheal like crazy.  I can just see myself thinking of him all he way over there, when i'm there, on the flight back AND when I arrive back here in brisbane.  That's how bad I've gotten hey, I'm totally smitten hehe!  I so want him to come with me hey, but he's got so much on his plate already hey - maybe one day we'll be able to travel somewhere together.  I've written a couple of letters to Micheal and i've written one poem.  I seem to be able to express myself better in writing i think.  I love him!

Well I had a rather interesting weekend.  AGMF was great!  My favourite artist was Rebecca St James - i can really see why she's won a Grammy award now - talk about a VOICE!  And I loved The Idea Of North - the world's best acapala (sp?) band.  They were so awesome without even using an instrument during their entire segment.  I have one of their songs on a compilation CD and listen to it constantly.

Friday I was stuffed by the end of the night.  I bought myself an all-day pass on the Sizzler hehe, lotsa fun and Paulini was really good!  Darlene Zschech was incredible as I knew she would be, and The Lads from New Zealand really got the crowd wound up!!! Guy Sebastian on Sunday was really good too - he actually sang 6 songs instead of the 4 he was down to do - then straight after his segment he was in a limo and straight off to the airport!  Gee what a lifestyle!

Saturday I also hung out with Dan all day.  Dan is a really good friend of mine, we actually went out for 2 months ages ago, but we don't even think about that today cos we've always been friends.  He admitted to me that he got drunk and ended up cheating on his boyfriend (also cos they had a fight) with one of his friends.  I've heard of this situation a few times and it's never a good one.  He seemed so scared about what happened, like a rabbit in the headlights, like knew what he'd done was wrong.  He said he thought the relationship was failing bigtime anyway.  I said to him he had a few options - he could be totally honest about what happened with his bf and risk losing their relationship/friendship and breaking up the friendship of his bf and his friend, or he could blame it on the alcohol - I don't know why I said that, I really was just trying to clam the poor guy down.  We saw a movie to take his mind off of it, so that helped a bit.  he rang me a bit later on saying it was over.  He didn't seem to mind all that much - and here I am thinking that everything was going great with him and his boy.  Oh well as long as he's happy.  I found out from him that his parents have been talking with my parents, blaming me for influencing him on being gay.  Gee some people are just so dimwitted.  I actually went out to the farm on Sunday for  few hours - my sister took me out there.  That's what I love about my sister - she never stays very long hehe - so I didnt have to see them.  I saw my older bro and younger bro.  my younger bro's quite the chick magnet so I've heard - and with him knowing i'm gay he's looking forward to coming to Brissy hehe - gee I better round up some chicks for him hehe - gee where do I look? it's not like I really take that much notice these days.  i saw his tattoo he got too - it actually looks pretty awesome - like a twirling flowery symbol across the shoulder blades.  Dad took family photos and I spoke about Micheal a fair bit and dad was like 'Micheal who?' - I just shook my head - his denial is unbelievable.  And then my sis and her husband were off (thank God)- they dropped me back off at AGMF.  i kissed my sis goodbye and went back to find my friends I was staying with over the weekend.  i saw Vicky (Bill you know her!) for a bit too - and I STILL didnt get to meet her boyfriend - I think he's too scared to meet a gay guy hehe.  he was actually jealous of me for a while because Vicky wanted to spend time with me in Brissy - that was until she told him I was gay and like a brother to her anyway so he had nothing to worry about.

I ended up coming back on Monday night with my housemate Jo and a friend of hers - they went out to the farm to see the parentals.  It was a pity because I really wanted to spend more time with Micheal, because I havent seen him in ages now.  All I do is think about him and I write kinda love letters to him, i guess you could call them, and i've read most of them out to him.  i hope he doesn't mind, he didnt seem to have a big response to the poem I read out to him.  it took me forever to write it and make it rhyme.  But he read out a letter he'd written to me, and by the end of it I was nearly in tears.  Happy tears.  He's so beautiful and sweet!

Back at work's really boring hey.  Mark and I are sticking to our don't-talk-to-each-other plan.  Seems to be working well actually.  Good enough for me, we just need to get away from each other.  Guys, just some advice, Never date a workmate!

So, there's 60 hours and 30 minutes until my flight!  I can't wait hey - I dunno how i'm gunna enjoy my holiday without Micheal with me, but I'm gunna try and talk with him every single day i'm in Perth.  I've stopped caring about phone-call costs since I met him because he's worth every cent in the world.  I think this holiday is just bad timing, I never expected to meet someone so wonderful between when I booked the flight and now.  Gosh I'll miss him.

While you've said you don't care about phone call costs, I'm told by those who'd know that phone cards are wonderful things.

And you're a better man than those who fail to look past your sexuality. Why else would Michael choose a great guy like you?

Have fun in Perth, and I'll call you sometime. [TheBlindArcher] 4/14/2004 9:22:18 AM

I'd like to know: 1/ Your birthday 2/ Your mobile no.

by the way

Have fun in Perth [TheBlindArcher] [p] 4/15/2004 4:53:48 AM

Phone cards are the key to success! They've been a lifesaver in this long distance thing.

I hope you have a fabulous trip to Perth! [Dulcinea] 4/17/2004 2:33:15 PM

Isn't being in love the best feeling in the world? I happen to think so. :o)

Close minded people upset me. People don't like what they don't understand.

Hope you're enjoyed your trip.

take care

wow I should have spell checked that or at least reread it b/c I wrote "you're enjoyed" b/c I started to write out "you're enjoying" until I realized that this entry was wrote on the 14th and you're probably back from the trip so I changed enjoying to enjoyed but forgot to change the you're part..ok I'm dumb I know.

take care
