News and stuff
Way back when (last semester) I wrote an entry asking how I should try to contact a former girlfriend of mine who I had been missing. I don't even remember if I ended up writing to her then, but just yesterday SHE contacted ME! Whoa! I woke up and saw the e-mail while I was still in bed/trying to get my eyes to focus properly, and I thought it might be a mistake or a dream! It's only a tiny step forward, and I'm not assuming that we'll ever be close at all again- although I would welcome it, but it's definitely a start. PS- her name rhymes with 'matey'.
In other news, Jordan and I were having some serious communication and trust issues for far too long, but I think it's moar or less fixed! Yaaay! It definitely takes a weight off my lil' heart to feel more in balance with that relationship.
Also- I went rafting a couple of weekends ago near Taupo on the Waikato river. It was super cool, and I did some real roughing it for once. We still had porta-loos, but otherwise we were sleeping on the ground in tents and taking dips in river water to get 'clean'. Also, sand flies were the bane of my existence. But the river was sooo pretty, and there was some thermal activity that heated the water right along the edge of the beach. SWEET.
I was going to make this entry long and informative, but I have lost steam, ALAS. I will end with saying that LAUREN IS AMAZING. If you don't know her, I recommend fixing that, because she definitely makes my life brighter and shinier. Long distance sucks, but i think that both of our efforts are helping us generally sail through. Yay again!
