Me and Siobhan split up the other night.
Okay, so it had been on the cards for a while; the extra levels of obliging and being tied down were weighing on her, especially with being physically apart as we are, so... yeah, she said she didn't feel like there was a relationship anymore. I'm ambivelant about it, but I always paint a happy picture regardless, so maybe I didn't see it as much. Anyway, we both agreed this was for the best.
There's not much loss. We're still best friends, and it's actually been better for the past few days because there's no... there's no feeling that you NEED to do this that and the next thing JUST because it's your partner. Of course this has thrown my entire sense of values out the window and forced me into my usual introspective mood, but I'm sure it'll pass. I hope us talking doesn't, that it's not just the post-relationship cooling-off period where you're really nice to each other before things get nasty. I don't feel like that'll happen though - I don't feel particularly bitter about it (unless I think about it too hard, which I'm avoiding doing).
It goes without saying I've got the whole longing thing going on, but that's perfectly natrual. I'm sure I'll find a new bike before long to satisfy my needs for clinging and breasts. Not too fussed on getting another at the moment, for obvious reasons.
In other news, Tiberius is coping well with 98. Okay, so it can't multitask for shit when another process involves multimedia or heavy disk access, but overall it's less of a pain in the arse than XP. I found a nice site with loads of 9x freeware programs, so I can get the same functionality. Pity I couldn't get Filezilla to work. D:
