Hi all, if anybody actually bothers to watch me anymore.

I know I haven't been around for ages, that's just due to other commitments. Don't worry, I still love art and poetry and all that.
I'm a blackbelt in Kung Fu now, if it has been as long as I think it has. I'm doing that four nights a week and working fulltime on the graveyard shift at a call centre. It's awesome.
I also have a real lady now (the inflatable got a hole in it), and pretty much in Love with her. Yeah, I just used a capital letter.

I do plan on trying to get back in here at some stage, thinking I will write a book at some stage, if I ever get the time. A real book, not just unplanned experimenting.

Please, tell me how you've all been, as I'm slack as with this, and always delete your journal entries, normally. I've been Beboing and Volconvoing. ^.^;


Have fun ripping me apart!

So UCOL has finished, and I'm back at mums place. I say mums because since I left it stopped being mine in any part really. I woke up this morning before going to Kung Fu and lo, it had become summer. A welcome change.
So off I went to Kung Fu, starting to sweat from the heat even though it was only half ten in the morning. And we did Kung Fu. 3 k-ish run, bit of stretching, and went over the normal stuff.
Ended up walking all the way home, another 4 ks or so, aaaand... Yeah, got home and put a gig or so of music onto the computer, fed the animals, and came back inside.
The flat in Palmy (for those of you that know where it is) has fallen to peices.
Ryo is back in Japan for the time being, and he's coming back to major in... Japanese. History, language, everything.
Naamans the most focussed at the moment, got himself a new place sorted, he's doing extramural summer school at home so that he keeps getting allowance... Sneaky bugger.
Julian does... well, not much. He's moving into the Kung Fu hall in palmy (former church with a pastors living quarters and whatnot you see), so he's been working on that.
I'v been finishing off my semester, quite nice, and I'm getting some work till when santa comes. Got myself an awesome girlfreind, Emma (no not the crazy one that I USED to be with), aaand...yeah. Haven't got a place sorted for next year, cos I'm so unorganised. Not much else been happening. Oh, except I'm going to the Big Day Out, so I'll see Tool, My Chemical Romance, Muse, and a wealth of New Zealand talent. Oh, And Jet! Gonna love them. So it's like, what, all of my favorite still together bands basically? It'll be good, looking forward to it. Gonna start investing in sunscreen now.

Barnicals!
