Lucy, yep, that’s it. I’ll be the angry one sulking in Brisbane while she does the London thing.

I hope it gets better, but I can’t help but think I’ve somehow unintentionally driven over a sack of kittens or like stolen from grandmas by accident to deserve such shit karma. I can accept if things don’t become sunshine and pudding again because maybe there is a reason for this, but if things couldn’t get WORSE, that would be tops.

Then that sounds like a solid plan, you’re raging but giving Miss Jones the room to do what she needs to do.

Man, I really hope this gets better for you, I really do chicken.

Best, It’s a possibility. The idea of another international move makes me break into a cold sweat, but the fact it’s an ENGLISH SPEAKING country would remove 80% of the problems I encountered in Japan. I don’t know either way yet, just laying some cards down on the table. Don’t talk to me about W, I don’t care to know.

Lucy, Miss Jones defs needs to do this alone I was more considering going in like 6 or so months, when she’s sorted out all her shit alone and is established (if she does end up staying). I know I would have adored to have someone arrive to be with me in Japan once I’d worked it all out, but for the first part I absolutely needed to be alone.

Jay, I totally get it and that is my hesitation with just running off to the UK, if I do go, I need to have my own reasons for wanting to. I think it would be incredibly unfair of me to move halfway across the world and expect Miss Jones to make it worthwhile for me to have done so.

I don’t know yet, there is too much to think about.

I think there is a certain danger in the idea of going to the UK 80% to be with someone. I mean, sure, if for some reason it doesn’t work out \\you are still in a rocking place (geographically, not emotionally) and doing something incredible — but you are also a long, long way from home, and from friends and family. At that time, the distance could seem insurmountable, and London a very alien place. There is also a chance that if you were unhappy there you could end up resenting Miss Jones.

But you know what? Rage on. If something (someone) is worth having, they’re worth fighting for — if it’s better to have loved and lost, then it’s also better to fight for her and later have things not work out than to just accept it, and always wonder “What if…?”

Man, this week was supposed to be better for you.

Since I hate advice, and I’m worried that you’re okay going through this ignore what I’m about to say if you choose.

Maybe J needs to do this trip on her own. In the same way you needed to go to Japan to prove to yourself that you could do it.

Saying that, I want you to be happy and for this to work out. Because you’re lovely and you deserve this.

So, consider this a Dylan vote.

I’m absolutely the later of the two quotes….

I didn’t realise the UK was an option for you in 2009/10 – I know this has been said before – but J and I are considering packing up and just finding a job over there in 2010. It could be D’Jen & Bestie do London 2010 – just one year later than planned ? I’ve paid the 400 quid to do a test to be accredited over there – wheels in motion…

W found a job, after one interview, after being in London for 48 hours…what GFC?
