Patience Seeking A Better Post

Today it's more about what I'm not writing - it's a very different post to what I'd have written the moment I got back from Hawks Nest. While I love my friends, I've become very attached to living alone, with my brother. Not being in a couple, it has it's upsides. and I could see that in this place where there was a lot of stress being in a couple in previous years.

on a baser level, it's the cost of a relationship I can't afford while I'm at Uni. I've barely got enough to feed/house myself, get to uni and back, without being slugged for $25 to see a movie ($30 with popcorn), dinner, dancing, taxi. even sitting at home watching dvds, or going to the beach, is an extravagance beyond my meager means. it also puts other luxuries out of reach - that new steven king book about zombies which i'd like to read, the dvds of serenity/firefly, or even a mp3 player for the two hour trips to uni.

that's not to say if it happens, i can't make it happen, just that I won't be able to give it all i'd want to. somethings deserve better than a half-assed effort. posted by Keegan at 2:56 pm
