Devmeet... and more
I went with no assumptions, I left with everything.
I got the train with Becca into the City, I haven't seen her since highschool, but have still kept in contact with her. She is a good friend.
We got to the meet place well before time, a good little group has been there for a while. It was nice to meet so many people so quickly, a bit overwhelming. But it was more of a twilight zone, especially when the group was at its largest of 60 or 70. There was alot of little jokes happening, it was great to join in on it all. I made the effort to try to speak to as many people as possible. I would say I was comfortable in the group, I guess because it was so large, a certain air of atomicity existed.
I settled into a small group of people, 6 or 7 at most, the louder more outgoing ones. Though I was not exceptionally outgoing, I was more than I ever have been. I enjoyed spending time with people so full of energy, it seemed alot of the larger group just sat there and talked, not doing anything interesting at all.
Many photos were taken throughout the day, including a group shot of all the deviants.
Then the time for food came. That is when the group split up the most, as each section went to each separate fast food outlet. I had Hungry Jacks, then the group I was in sat out the front of a church to eat; Daniel, Cara, Becca, and I. After that Becca had to leave, to go baby-sit for a friend.
We went back to the collective group of deviants, who for all their largeness were doing nothing much at all.
Talked to a few people, then someone asked if anyone wanted to go to a LAN cafe. I have never been to one, so I went with them. Cara and Daniel didn't go straight away, but they came running up 5 minutes later :D The LAN wasn't too exciting, we played starcraft, then Age of Empires II. We must have been there for over an hour and decided to wrap it up, so I stormed Cara's village and I got massacred...
We then went to HMV, I found the Muse albums and DVD's that I didn't have, and ended up spending $80...
There was still another hour to burn so we went to Minotaur, then after a while we started walking to Spencer Street station. I was hoping that I could take the V-Line with the rest of the group and get off at my stop, but since I didn’t have a V-Line ticket I couldn’t go :(
Daniel sent Cara an SMS a while ago saying "don't jump Simon on the train". And when I said that she can't do that now she said that she still has time. (note: This may be sounding corny, but it's 100% true) I then said that I wouldn’t stop her.
The people that know me know that I have never kissed anyone before, well...now you all know :) Cara was really nice about it all. The kiss was nothing like I expected, it was by no means bad, it was amazing. More than I could have imagined. Though I was a bit clumsy...I guess practice will help :D
I like Cara, and she like me. We are wanting to continue it. And we are going to meet up soon.
Oh and thankyou budgieishere for organising the meet, without it. I would never have meet Cara.
oh and btw Cara is muskawo

wow, I have been working for a week already. Now I definitely have enough for an update :D
I started working at Big W Werribee last Tuesday. I work night shift, which is always great. It has been 7 months since my last job, and always frustrating when getting declined time after time. but I kept on trying and eventually got it, my hard work paid off eventually. I didn't get it as soon as I may have wished, but I still got it :)
The pay is good, and I got more shifts than I expected in my first week :) I worked 19 hours in 5 days!
I don't complain about being tired, coz a good nite sleep can fix that, and in the end its worth it. Work rocks.
Now I can look forward to The Deviant Art DevMeet this Saturday in the city, it should be fun, and a exceptional chance to meed many many new people. Last time I looked 45 people are confirmed to go.
Oh, and of course, I am on holidays for two weeks. Yet another perk of TAFE, it is set up almost exactly like school. And after I go back it should only be 6 weeks till I finish the year. It is great to get away from that place, I have not been the best at coping at things when they are facing me every single day. When it simply disappears out of my life, though it may hurt, at least I can cope with it in my own time and on my own terms. Those that know, know what I am referring too, I only go to the lengths of making reference to the feelings I have now(not towards her), and as a friend said something along the lines of "referring to her by name only makes it harder to cope".
Well, even I think I have jabbered on for a bit too long.
To finish up, I was hoping that the "Donnie Darko : Directors Cut" Movie would be out in all cinemas. But alas, for the moment it is only selected cinemas.... Jam Factory and Nova. An email I wrote said something about a "Regional Release" could happen in November, so heres hoping :D
Thanks for reading...

Simon

Can't I just shut up about Tori? Even talking about her now is negative and frustrating to me. Reading through my old blogs she is in every blog and every sentence. Fine, I liked her. Fine, I found that she doesn't like me. I went through the whole confused emotions stage, finally figuring out that what I was feeling was the pain of failure. But maybe it was too late; I had already made an arse out of myself, and in front of others. I commend you all for reading them all, looking back upon them, I couldn't. I wish I talked about other things. Sure I had fucked up feelings for her. I should have left them aside and concentrated upon myself, what I felt and why I felt it.
Either way, that is the point I am at now. Self discovery, I guess it is a wonderful thing. Instead of looking at the face value of a situation, I look inward, at myself. Something I haven't done for a while. I have always been writing what is on the surface, it comes easily which is why I am still doing that. But the best stuff comes from the deeper parts of my soul, and takes alot more work and is alot more rewarding. It helps me find out more about myself, and how I interact with others.
I am not a normal person, well not the normal that society expects me to be. I don't like the idea of going clubbing, getting so piss drunk that I need to go to hospital, and I don't see the need in having a girlfriend simply for the reason of fucking her. Some people expect me to be less uptight, that I should relax and do some of these things. Some see no point in my search for a meaningful relationship. Of course these people are not my true friends, I barely consider these people friends. Anyone that reads this blog is not one of those fake friends I refer to, they don't know me enough to know I write a blog. Wow, I didn't know where that came from, oh well...a good insight into the person that I am. But then, you probably have more of an idea of who I am than I do. Sometimes a bystander's view is better than being in the driver's seat...
