Boyfriends, friends, boys, and Me

It's been a few days since my last post. And to be honest I'm not sure what exactly I wanted to say. Although it must be something, otherwise why am I here right? It could be one of a few things, so I'll work through them and see what takes my fancy.

Boyfriend - going well, I think. I know he's a little put out that I work so many hours, and so often on weekends. It's something that we'll either have to deal with, or something that will ultimately break the relationship. I can't and won't reduce my hours, and at the same time I can't expect him to be in a relationship with a 'forever never here' partner. For now things are going OK. Lets wait and see. I remain optimistic. Otherwise I think we're great. Really enjoy spending time with him, and being around him, and feel that he feels the same way.

Oh and I tried weed with him for the first time in my life the other day. I have to say: WHAT A LET DOWN. After years and years of living in Durban and hearing how most of the population smokes it at least infrequently and how great it is, all I found was that it made me horny ( luckily boyfriend was around) and then incredibly lethargic. I smoked some the other morning, and found that I could sing more freely in the car ( throat didn't hurt as much) but other than that... nothing. Now apparently the particular type he uses is called Cob and is supposed to be mild.

OK, so that's boyfriend, and drugs. What else?

Fencing? Oh Fencing is fun. I do find though that I don't like th idea of being alone. I prefer being part of a team. I find working solo a bit too... well a bit too solo. I like collaborating with others. Maybe it's so that I can shift the blame? I don't think so though. I like the team aspect, the working together, the thinking up of ideas together, the adaption of plans and so forth. So I don't think it's that. So I'm stopping after next week.

But fear not, because now that Leon is living with me up in JHB, we go to the gym regular...ishly. Running, jogging, stepping, cycling... it goes on and on. So health is getting better I think. Also the blood-pressure pills seem to be working a treat. Heart much more stable. In a couple weeks time I have to go back for the doctor to check on how things are going. I suspect they are going well.

Work? Work is nuts. I'm running with so many projects all at once I don't know if I'm coming or going. So I've decided to work on one project at a time. Even if it's all at the SAME time. Writing musicals, kids shows, documentaries, and corporates. Work has never been so good. It really feels like I'm moving in the right direction career wise.

Family? Well all good as far as I know. We all have our own lives to lead, and we're all doing it furiously.

Gosh, this is boring. I'm bored. A recap of my past couple of weeks. Sorry to have wasted your time. Although sometimes it's good to put things down, keep a check on things, and make an account of your existence. How's yours going?

Okay, if you're new to drugs, here's a hint : Don't smoke weed AND DRIVE. You twit.

Your reaction is preferable to mine, which is vomiting copiously. But the stuff I tried was stronger.
