Typed here as written over several days.
Australia
Leave with Bitterweet heartache the same as from Paris.
More than I expected. Sad to be going. I guess it was a good trip, as I wanted more time.
But is that wise to spend time with someone that I like in a way he does not say he returns even if people say he does. Timmy in the USA, Chris in Paris, Val in Oz, Tomasc in Utrecht. me and my choises in men is something different. I seem to know a few fine guys that due to one reason or another, the time and/or place is wrong.
But at least they part of my life and for that I am, as they say, enriched.
Who knows what the future holds. other tasks to hold to mind right now, like finding a job.
2 interviews as soon as I return, one 1st and one a 2nd interview. As my old contract ended and I fullfilled my duties, I am off to new things. My old boss and I just don't exist on the same plane.
Even had people who tried to get me to move to Oz.
As for oz, had 4 lovely days biking around Sydney. The sun was kind to me and I return not to terribly sunned! Met with friends, Rob & Giles. Saw an exhibition on Manga & Anime! and even Astro Boy!
Bought the original Astro Boy episodes to 109 in very nice tins.
Saw most of the Beaches of Sydney. Stayed with Val. We were invited to the Blue Mountains with Rob & Giles and friends of theirs.
Stayed by jenolan caves and wetn for a plateau walk. Everyone was very nice, even started to correspond with a few of them. Always enjoy chatting with new people, and had a date whilst there too. :)
Now back to "miss potter" I am 11 miles up above the center of Oz!
-------
Well film #3 down, Miss Potter. why do I cheer, cry and feel emotions after such a film?
As night chases us across the sky, slowly gaining. The map shows it catching up with Oz in the distance.
My sadness is still there but hope of what I will make of the forecoming future growing.
Such films help me believe in things. To renew my hope & optimism. And the lake district is pure magic, how could I not feel better.
Why can I get used to having people around but feel their absences so fiercely when gone?
oh, but to the next film, "the Holiday"
--------
Random Thoughts in the sky at 36,000 m.
Unrequited Love - Interesting term.
Melbourne was very nice, great coffee shops with Quenten & Val. Good afternoons wandering around looking at cds, movies, and Astro Boy tea towels! Watching the Autumn come knowing spring is waiting for me in A'dam.
Meeting Mr Q's fella, Terry. He is lovely! Hope to see them both in London in Mei.
Chatting with Quaiz from Sydney via email, chats via MAN with Mr Q., Skype with Val. and a new # in London 020 8144 5257 so now I am reachable by friends in the UK.
Back to the film....
----------
Hmm mushy films, they are designed to make us be emotional! and fall each time. Sitting here looking at the clouds, the sunset on them, and the reflection on the water, I wish I had someone who was here to share the view & cuddle. They just need a bit of patience with me and my qwirky personality.
Well almost finished with Charolet's Web so ....
5 films from Sydney to Kula Lumpur.
--------
my day began at 2.30 am in Melbourne. after a delay we left from avalon and I spent 6 hours of Easter Sunday in Sydney International Airport. This is a 36 hour set of flights and I land at 5.35 am in a'dam.
Hope to sleep most of that flight, it is 12 hours 10 minutes long.
Landing in KL in 30 minutes.
