So, in just over 24 hours on Thursday morning, I will leave the city of Brisbane for the new city of Melbourne. It's exciting, slightly nervewracking, and admittedly it hasn't sunk in. It'll be a lot different than last time I moved city too. I won't be back within four months, and I won't get depressed about the whole thing. On the negative, I also won't be drinking German beer cheaply. But it's great - I can't wait to see my Melbourne friends, and my best friend. I also can't wait to do shows with my bands again, and shows on my own too.
Brisbane friends, I will miss you, and elements of our fine city. If I got to see you before I went, fantastic! Although it really wasn't enough, and I'm sorry about that. If I didn't get to see you, the apologies are extended much further. Time ran out, and I've run out of motivation to keep driving in this weather. In no real order; I will miss people, my car, Wedd St., cold rock (although I'm sure it's in Victoria - I saw it in Adelaide after all), and my family - even though I don't see them all that much up here. I moved out of Wedd St. last week to stay out here (with the exception of a couple of days at Wedd on weekend) - it's like a nice holiday but it'll be good to be over.
Melbourne friends, I eagerly await chances to hang out. I'm not coming down with heaps of money, but that won't stop the fun! I will hopefully have a job and place to live very soon. When I do, you can come around to my living abode (although possibly not my job) and drink beer and listen to songs with me. Maybe bulbs too if a machine can be found. Let's collaborate on ideas and launch projects which will take over the world. 2007 is going to start a little bit early with this Melbourne move. 2006 was okay, but it wasn't amazing either. Lots of great memories, but I didn't do as much as I'd like to do. And that'll change next year! BIG PLANS already! lots of travel, lots of good times.
Anyway, whatever. To sum up in the style of mills & boon meets biker...
Brisbane = I love you but we have to split. It's not you, it's me. Okay, it's not just me. I can't lie. We've had fun, but it's getting stale. We never go out anymore. Keep in touch, and I'll call you in the morning, k?
Melbourne = We'll work it out. It'll be tough sometimes with old lover Brisbane occasionally calling me, but I'm all about you baby. Your friends make me feel good, and I have fun when we go out.
