As of yesterday, I changed my location on Facebook from Brisbane to Gold Coast.
I figured that since I spend most of my time on the coast now, and I can’t remember the last time I went out in Brisbane… It’s time I face up to the fact I no longer live in Brisbane. But considering that I haven’t posted anything on here in months I’m assuming nobody really cares. So that’s good.
So since my blog’s name is really pointless now, that will also change. And my layout.
The funny thing about this place is after coming here regularly for my entire 23 years of life, it still puzzles me. For example, there’s meant to be all these bikies around, but where are they? Why don’t I see them? .. And I don’t feel like I identify with many other people from here.
Previously the only people I’ve known from here are New Zealand immigrants and about 99% of them were idiots.
And I really dislike the stereotype of people that lives and breathes truth every single day here on the Gold Coast. I swear everyone who lives here as been to Doctor Ces Collegrande or Doctor Dillip.
But anyway, I’m here to stay for a while and I can say that this is where I want to be right now. I’d much prefer to spend summer here on the coast rather than Brisbane.
And I vow to myself that my boobs will stay a B cup, my nails will never be covered in tacky French acrylic, my hair will never be typical bleached blonde or have extensions, and my tan will never come out of a spray gun or be obtained from a Sun 7.
And since being here, I’ve had a short lived relationship with a club owner (realising after it ended that the club across the street from his is WAY better); experienced some amazing nights out with new friends who live down here; and some equally not so amazing experiences (some guy who was driving us home from Surfers threw us out of the car for misbehaving and drove of with my shoes still in the car - needless to say I never saw the shoes again)… And this:
One of my closest friends, an amazing girl who I always admired her independence and confidence in herself - met someone interstate and after knowing him for about 2 weeks has decided to spend New Year with him; and said if all goes well she plans to move interstate to live with him. In her words “I’ve been single for 3 years, I’m sick of not having anyone who loves me”.
This came as such an absolute shock to me - the girl who I thought was so confident and happy within herself, turns around and says this to me after 2 weeks of what anyone would certainly call a ‘whirlwind romance’.
While I am incredibly happy for her, and have no doubt this person is making her happy; it’s something I never thought I would hear come out of her mouth. But life has it’s ways of surprising me. Anyway, this situation has shown me that it obviously takes a really strong person who is 100% happy with themselves to not desire to be in a relationship. And if a girl comes off as strong and happy with herself them 9 times out of ten it’s just a front.
Anyway that’s enough of my deep and meaningful thoughts. Deep and meaningful really isn’t what the Gold Coast is all about haha.
Then again I’m not from the Gold Coast. I will post a photo of the view from my place here, so as for you to understand why I love my little Gold Coast life so much.
I want to take the opportunity to sign off as my former alter ego for the last time, before beginning to sign off as myself from here on in.
