Land Of The Gods... Something Tells Me I'm Gonna Fit In Fine Here... Part 2

"Well let the geek in the pink take a stab it, if you like the way I'm thinking baby wink at it / My hip hop and flip flops well they dont stop with the light rock / I'm developing a language and I'm calling it my own" ~ Jason Mraz


Alright lads, I’m writing this from the middle of the sea, grabbed a boat this morning, so just been cruising for chicks – but I got distracted by this awesome cave I found, tried to take a picture of it but I’m not sure if it came out alright as the boat was being inconsiderate and had itself a little drift; ‘citin though, I’ll use it in a story or something, already got a really good idea ;) Don’t know what to say really, apart from it’s really gorgeous out here, so yeah, I fit in really well as I had guessed.

Went swimming yesterday, jumped in thinkin it would be vaguely warm, but effin hell it weren’t half nippy – I was later told that some icy springs go into that area of the sea, so yeah, cheers for that T_T It was weird as there r patches of ice-cold water and in other areas it’s alright... I’ll go find the source today
After I’d swam out like a mile I realised that I really needed a piss, so I thought why not, go for it, enjoy urself, so I did; but mid flow a boat drove right past and the people on board looked disappointed as they caught sight of my guilty face T_T Also tried to climb some rocks out there which was a big mistake, they were covered in invisible moss and a ton of urchins, but I was determined to make it to the destination I had picked out for myself, so I’m pretty bruised today from trying to stop myself being impaled to death, but at least I learnt a valuable lesson ^^ The landscape out here really reminds of something out of a Tomb Raider game... maybe that’s why I tried to traverse the rocks lol ¬.¬

Just arrived back on shore, and I aint half hot after that ordeal, gonna jump in the sea in a sec, better just ride out this bollocking first... come on, is it really so bad to try and run over ur snorkelling brother on the way back?

Hope England’s doing alright without me, try and hold out a few more days I’ll be back soon xx

Land Of The Gods... Something Tells Me I'm Gonna Fit In Fine Here... Part 1

"I rolled in straight from Oakland, holding my dick like a US open, trophy / Everyone wanna know my name, bring the pain and pop the champagne; Every girl wanna hold my chain while I fuck their brains out on the mustang" ~ Dirt Nasty

Yes, I have indeed arrived in Greece! In this really beautiful place actually, looking out over translucent sky blue water from a secluded decked cove thing as I type this... the tranquillity ruined only by my spluttering as I just tried to eat biscuits and drink coke whilst lying down as I couldn't be arsed to sit up.

I felt pretty shit when I arrived yesterday, but I knew I'd be alright after a decent night's sleep - was pissing me off that technology's been letting me down after I given it so much ¬.¬ Only bought my UMPC with me but it’s alright as I only intend to do basic tasks on it, like writing this and goin on the internet. But I tried the internet yesterday and for some reason the WLAN won't turn on... and obviously I can't update the drivers without connecting to the internet. So thats one of the 2 tasks I need to try and fix... I tried opening word to write this but it just crashes everytime lol, this thing is useless... using notepad, but Im nothing without spellcheck T_T Also the OS isn't loading properly, have to re-log on everytime I want to not use word lol... I really need Windows 7 T_T Sorry about that rant, Im blaming my new job as an assistant IT manager - title sounds good though right?

I realised yesterday that for the first time in a long while I'm content... no happy even with my life back home, and am already looking forward to getting back. Yeah my job may be shit and I may have like zero free time but Im proud of meself - accomplished quite a lot in the last month... wouldn’t have been able to do it this time last year...
As I would have previously guessed, the environment isn't really for me, don't really fit in... but I think people like me still? I'm finding myself having to fight a little against becoming a clone... eg I'm gonna feel a little guilty about dying my hair, but I've bought some away with me so we'll see what happens. Also been told to tuck my shirt in a couple of times lol, feel like Im back in school sometimes there T_T I found the first few days difficult but I handled it pretty well I think... Im not exactly gonna be looking forward to going back on Monday, but I'll be fine with it ya know? Do need to start looking for work elsewhere but I'm confident I should at least be able to last the 3 months of my contract, and if I wanna renew it I'm confident I'll get a big pay rise... so not the end if the world if I don't find other work. I don't enjoy it, but I really have given it my all, and I've learnt so much, picked up all the new programs a lot quicker than I thought I would, and I know Im doing well as my boss has told me a few times ^^

On the relationship front, I almost don't wanna say this, but Im pretty confident things finally have a chance of working out this time. Really into this guy, and we seem to be on the same page with what we're looking for... not gonna hold my breath as things always find a way of screwing themselves up with me, but I definitely wanna give things a proper shot. Haven't even been here a day and I've been thinking about him a lot, hope he's happy back home, and still wants to see me by the time I get back ^^

I know I've probably said this before but I'm a lot more in tune with myself these days... remember saying to my friends a couple of years ago, that my goal for that year or something was to find myself... well I'm pretty sure I've done that now... I'm confident in my strengths and weaknesses.

Health-wise Im a lot better as well... hayfever's still pretty shit back home, but seeing as that’s my worst health problem atm I can handle it. Asked me doctor to come off the old antidepressants so I've taken half-dose tablets out here with me as u've gotta come off them slowly, hope I don't get any withdrawal symtoms, a little worried about that, but Im sure I can handle it ^^

Well like I said, Im missing good ole blighty, bless you ma'am and all that but I'll enjoy meself out here, gonna start writing a story or something, so peace out for now xx
