Single again

So I'm single again now. It's finally starting to sink in! I'm going on more dates and stuff, only this time I'm not at all serious about it. I just wanna have some fun. I'm over the whole lonelyness thing now, for once, there's gunna be none of this catch-me-on-the-rebound crap.

I'm especially horny lately. The other night we were talking about "would you fuck that one..." I came up with I'd fuck that wall socket if it were big enough. Dunno if that's a good thing, but it's kinda fun to feel a little out of control when there's not really anything there to stop oneself. But it is a typical nerdy situation that I'm well accustomed to, that of wanting sex but not sure how to go about getting it. I don't really have those types of friends. Yet.

Anyway it's time to tell you about my weekend cos I'm on a roll and at work and trying to give my brain a rest from the mind-numbing repetition that is working on the sm60. About 12 O'clock I was reading a book and suddenly realised I'm missing Friday night. So I called everyone I could think of and the only person out was Sayaka from LaLinga.. So I went to shark bar and ended up meeting up with Hendrik as well. Sayaka and her mates left so me and Hendrik and 6 of his mates went up to 3 monkeys till that closed around 4.
Still in the mood to party of course. Members only at Q-bar which is ok cos I'm kinda sick of that place anyway. We got into Judgement bar which was OK, then some of H's friends left and the place suddenly seemed pretty empty, but across the road from us we could see a big line to get into Gilligan's. One of the women I was talking to in Judgement bar came with us cos her friends wanted to go home& fuck & she still wanted to party. Turned out she had membership @ Gilligans so we skipped the queue.
Things started to get pretty messy for me after about that point. It was probably the worst night for memory loss.. I woke up with stamps on my wrist I can't remember where from. Anyway, the place was jam packed and rounds were going, about 8-9 o'clock I somehow decided I need to get my sunnies and I think some girl came with me for a walk.
I remember her asking "is this your house" as I tried to get the key in the door (I live just down the road from gilligans). Next thing I remember grabbing my sunnies and somehow spilling water all over my bed. Somehow made it back, for maybe 2 more hours then she hooked up with these gay guys who were going to manacle this underground gay bar at taylors square. That was pretty cool, at least it was dark. They need to get curtains at gill's. Only stayed there a few hours, then one of the guys suggested we go to Columbian for a while so we did but I got kicked out cos I must have looked too drunk (I remember feeling fantastic) so we went up to Stonewall instead. It was one of the groups birthday so had another drink and then went to a "party" at his apartment in the city.
This was about 3 oclock and I was getting pretty hectik. So maybe 5 of us in this guys lounge room on the 28th floor of somewhere, drinking plonk and someone pulls out this little sniffer thingy, said it was "K", as the hannible lector K. Man don't ever do that shit, 5 people half lying on couches, unable to move or speak, convinced me of that. I think I passed out around 4 and woke up at 11 and there were a few people asleep so I went home and slept.

T'was a Good Night. The temptation is there to do it all again this weekend.. but I think I'll concentrate on getting a date instead ;-)

Everybody loves Eric Raymond

Everybody loves Eric Raymond

This is the nerdiest thing I've seen all day. ESR, Linus and RMS as flatmates comic strip. Har! Be warned, all you non-nerdy people who I know read this site (there's at least 1 that I know of), it's full of geek "in" jokes..

KanatestJS - Simple javascript hiragana/katakana drill

Over the weekend I got really bored, and came up with a javascript hiragana flash card thingy. It's really primitive right now and the randomness is not the best. If it gets popular I might consider improving it :-)

I got the idea after using Kanatest by Tomasz M±ka. Actually, I used the images from Kanatest, I hope that's allowed ;-)

If you wanna use be warned that it needs to preload about 1M of image data. There's no "Please wait" message so just wait until your browser's throbber stops moving.

Naivete and growing up.. more..

Wow, looking back at the photo's from 2 and 3 years ago made me remember what I was like back then, how much I've learned about life and living. I think I was really naive even then at the age of 23-24. I used to believe in "true love" and that other people wouldn't hurt you if you didn't do anything to them and other childish stuff like that. Pah! Stupid country boy. On the other hand, I think I'm different to your normal Sydney-sider in a good way. I don't feel too jaded by the whole thing, just wiser and more equipped to deal. Which is good, I think. Who wants to be a cynical old cunt? Not me that's for sure.

Actually I was talking to one of my flatmates about this the other night. I think I quite like living in the city. I haven't actually left the CBD since last summer except to work. But, I keep a strong feeling of peace inside I think you can only get by living in the country for a significant period of time. How can you gaze at the stars if neon and streetlights light the sky? I see people all the time on the way to and from work who just look lifeless. Drones.

When I was a kid I used to go out on these extended bush walks with the dog. Messing around in rivers out in the bush in Tasmania. I could see even then how beautiful it was, I could almost feel how alive everything was. I used to (and still have, to some extent) have a sense of respect, even awe, for nature. Little discoveries like a grove of ferns deep in some valley with a creek running through the middle used to put me on a high. Like a scene from those fairy tale books my sister used to read, but for real. To sit down and eat lunch in a place like that, where you can almost tell no human has been for at least hundreds of years, I think you can't help but be affected by it. I think I still am, even if I do love living in Sydney.

Where to from here?

The weather is shit. It's pissing down with rain. I've broken up with Anze. Because I realised that it's going to take a *lot* longer than I had expected to save up enough money to be able to get to Japan, and I just don't think I can go through with having a long distance relationship for another 5 months. It's already been 3 and I'm already as miserable as fuck.. but we've been broken up for maybe 3 days now and I'm feeling even worse. Oh well, I guess time heals all wounds and all that. I reckon I've done the right thing though. She must be feeling just as miserable as I am.. She's a cute girl and I don't think she'll have problems finding another boyfriend. I think it's better because otherwise it would mean we were apart for 8-9 months... sucks ass in a major way..

We've got a bunch of new flatmates.. I must admit I haven't been able to give them the full "Welcome to the house, now let's party" thing on account of being down about the Anze situation.

Akane j-girl who's mad as a bag of cats. Loves partying, dancing.. has to work too long/hard though I reckon. Dead sound. Got that "one of the boys" kind of personality, which is fucking great.

Danielle pretty quiet, sports loving German girl. I think she's over here studying media or something. Loves the drink! Last party she was boogying down with the best of 'em..

Debbie excuse me, we have another nutter over here.. and this girl has lungs moite! don't think we're ever going to get any peace and quiet with this one around, and that's pretty much the way I likes it.

Sophia's really cool..
good taste in music from what I've heard so far too :)

I must say there seems to be a rather disturbing amount of girls living at my place at the moment. Not that I don't like girls or anything.. but I think you need a balance. I know it could never happen with these guys, but I don't wanna be sittin around talking about lost loves and shit, I wanna be doing the shit you can only really do with other guys, you know.. the binge drinking.. the bonding.. the dirty language.. theories about just wtf motivates women etc

I talked to Steve before he's up in Townsville working at a carnival (!) and he's given our address to a whole bunch of apparently sound dudes who might be heading down to Sydney. So might have some new flatties if they can pass "the test". (the test is pretty simple: just don't freak anyone out when you come and look at the joint.. the trick is not to be a boring fucker either)

Oh except for some French guys who look like Jesus. That was a mistake. I'll look out for 'em Stevo.
