What a day...
Well, today was a very exhausting day. It started with two hours of paintball with some friends (my ex’s new boyfriend was one of them). I was only hit a three of times, twice in the head (on my mask) and once on my hand (ouch - I should have worn gloves). Nevertheless, it was a lot of fun, and it was a great day for it.
Following that, we went back to my friend’s flat (after stopping past home for a much needed shower) for dinner and several hours of watching anime. My ex showed up, and cuddled up to her new boyfriend. Seeing them together is much harder than I thought it would be. She seemed to keep her distance from me, and we didn’t speak a lot when we were alone together. She knows how I feel now, so I won’t go into it any further here. At least I didn’t make a fool of myself (I hope).
Following anime, I got a call from another friend, inviting me out dancing. I didn’t really want to go, but I am glad I did. It is the first real time I have just been able to let go of everything that has been depressing me lately. I just let go and enjoyed the music and the lights. I have been told I am a pretty good dancer, but I don’t know how true that is.
After a while I found myself dancing on top of the speaker stack, above the crowded dance floor. It was a great feeling. Other people seemed to be enjoying what I was doing, and no-one attempted to get me down. Maybe all my years in theatre (albeit behind the scenes) have turned me into a bit of an exhibitionist. I had fun, and that was the main thing.
It is now very early the next morning, and I am now quite tired and sore. My bed is looking very comfortable right now, but I think I need some food first.
Things haven’t all been bad since I last wrote in this journal. Two very close friends announced their engagement, and asked me to be their best man. On top of that I have had a very interesting job offer, but I can’t talk about it online. I am heading up to see my parents in a couple of days. I think it will be good to get away. A little bit of time away from everything will help me move on.
In other news, my character on SpinDizzy is now 6 years old. Wow. I guess makes Nimble an oldtimer (by MUCK standards). I have many good memories, and I hope there will be many more. :)
