I've really been abandoning this Blog for the last few weeks so it's about time I do some updating. I have a lot to update!
Since I came up to Ipswich a few weeks ago it seems lots has happened in a short space of time and I'm having trouble finding my head from my arse. Time has flown by, although probably not for my poor friends whose house I've gate-crashed since the beginning of the month! I can assure you though, it's been productive....
I was thinking a few months back that I should be branching out to Ipswich with my job search, being that it's closer to London & Essex but slightly cheaper to live in. Since November I've not had a huge choice of jobs to apply for in Lowestoft and the ones I've applied for have been unsuccessful, bar one seven week temp job. In the last two weeks of being in Ipswich I've applied for fifteen jobs and within a day of applying to one of them I got offered a job interview. I've also signed on to eight recruitment agencies, one of which immediately enthused about a job I might be suitable for ASAP. It's amazing what happens when you work hard to find the greener grass.
I also have an extra small incentive to move a little more Southernly now; my fabulous, and wonderfully patient, Bramblewood friends. And Mr Z.
Before you start thinking, "hang on - she said she'd never do anything extreme for a man again"...don't worry, I know what I'm doing! I'd like to state for the record that I am moving to Ipswich strictly to look after my career needs (and to have more parties/TV nights/general drinking and acting the twat nights with Em & the Mexican). But after spending quite a bit of time with Mr Z lately, it's made the prospect of going back to Lowestoft feel pretty shit. It's been a fair while since a guy made me feel happy. In fact it's been a fair while since a guy made me feel even the slightest bit chirpy. It's just so refreshing to be with someone I can be silly with and not feel like a total moron, or not feel like I have to be something or someone I'm not. I'm feeling like myself again. God help us all!
A trip to Alton Towers at the beginning of the week was another cherry on the cake this month! Emm & Mexican are the only couple I can third-wheel with and not feel like a gooseberry. We had a freakin awesome time! I have posted you a few pictures to prove I'm not a total wimp. Although after seeing Emm stagger off Nemesis a little worse for wear I'm glad I stuck to being a bit of a wimp! The Nutty Squirrel ride was about as hard-core as I got. Epic. Other occasions this month : the Jubilee Party and Dublin, shall require a whole Blog all to themselves, another day!
Everything seems to be coming together, slowly but surely. I'm remembering what having a good time feels like. I'm in the company of people and friends who take me as I am and don't expect any more or less - and vice versa. The job front is looking more positive and the prospects are better than they were previously. Then there's Mr Z. Through a little vice or two he's pretty damn cool and I wouldn't change a thing about him. And if for any reason it doesn't work out in the end......in fact, I'm not going to finish that sentence - It's time for a change in my negativity I think. I may even be starting to like the Beastie Boys. Congrats Mr Z, you've already accomplished so much!
