footprints in the sand, change of plans…

Right, first up, let’s call the newest lady date – Dish. Last night I was getting my drink on and Dish and her Best joined up for several hours. It was great, no pashing though. Many of my friends were being less than discreet about my need to hook up with her and it was a little bit awkward. I apologised about it last night, she said it was no worries and this morning we caught up on MSN and got everything sorted. I didn’t know if she was into me, I know she is moving OS and doesn’t want to commit to anything so I didn’t want to make anything awkward or weird for her by making any moves and putting her in an uncomfortable position. She said didn’t want to lead me on or make things seem like more than they are so she just held back, despite wanting to make a move. I am totally ok with this and more than happy to just enjoy the ride and appreciate things for what they are. I am really happy going into things with eyes wide open and knowing exactly what it is. This is a mutually agreeable arrangement. I wouldn’t say we are together by any means, but we aren’t not together. It just is what it is, I think now that has been sorted things will be less confusing and will just evolve naturally. My peeps adore her and her Best had an awesome time hanging with us last night so it’s all just gravy at the moment. We text several hundred times a day and I saw her three times in the last week. I just booked tickets for us to see Polyphonic Spree in February and we have about a million other “dates” planned. It’s just fun

I have also decided that for the next month (for starters), I am not going to buy any new clothes. My wardrobe which was half full when I moved back to Oz is now bursting at the seams in less than a year of being back. I feel like a dirty, rotten consumer. So much of what I own is not stuff I need by any means, but stuff I have just liked or because because I could. I have so many clothes I don’t even remember what I own anymore. It’s not good. So for one month, I make do with what I have. I can sew stuff from fabric I already own or refashion existing clothes, but no more new stuff. This goes for shoes too. I have an obscene shoe collection. I figure after a month I will have a better idea of what clothes I do have, and if there are any glaring gaps in my wardrobe. I know I am lacking in winter clothes to a degree, but I have at least four months before I need to start even thinking about that, so let’s just focus on the task at hand.

P.S. I can get my new uni student card on the 19th of this month. I wonder how lame it will be if I am weeping with joy during my picture? Is it even possible to be this much of a nerd??
