Christchurch: Chill and ambivalence.
I left Brisbane (...was it a month ago now?) and arrived here in Christchurch, or 'chch' as it is colloquially known, with no real plans or ideas as to what I was heading here for or what it was I planned to do next. In short, I chose yet again to pack up my duffle bag and backpack on a whim in hopes of finding something more. I really should make more plans around lower expectations.
Christchurch has been lovely though. Don't get me wrong! So far I may not have found the 'life-turning' ...thing? that I left to look for, but I've met with enough wonderful adventures and people along the way that I'm starting to feel a bit tired of it all. I've started to bore of the whole being-away-from-it-all idea, and some days I even think of 'home' (as in Melbourne) and wonder how much longer I am going to be away... Most days I now feel a longing to be back home, I'm far more productive when in Melbourne. I'm not sure what it is about the place, whether it is simply because that's where I grew up, or if it's because I have a fair number of established friends, or if it's just an atmosphere that the city itself possesses, but whatever it is I write more, and can think clearer, when home.
It's funny, because I clearly remember leaving in order to think clearer.
I'm not making any sense.
No, not at all.
I suppose i have much more to say. The following snippets will have to suffice, my apologies.
1)There is a giant waffle cone made of steel in the middle of the Cathedral Square here. It has inspired me to start making a written list of all the things I intend to do when I become rich and famous. The list is getting too long to manage in my little whimsical brain alone. But to return to the inspiration: when I become rich and famous I am going to commission a giant steel ice-cream scoop to fit onto the top of the giant waffle cone, and get a giant crane covered in fairy lights to install the addition. There will be fairy floss and ginger ale all around for the event. You're all invited.
2)I have lost my quilt. Sorry I couldn't tell you on the phone mum!! I'm really sorry. I loved it while it lasted, thanks so much to everyone that had a piece in creating the comfort that it was. I'll keep fond memories of it.
3)While I am aware that it is commonly accepted that I am a nymphomaniac, I have to admit that what I feel for Alex is more than just sex. What I can't decide is if it is love or just a love for the idea of it. I guess I've got a few more months to figure that cookie out.
4) I am running out of internet.
So, on that note....
Chilly 'church and giant waffling,
