Ok I am going to try and do a proper update....
So what has happened in the last 2 years ? Alot but also not much at the same time.....
I switched careers, I am no longer a Personal Trainer, was a hard descision but I am sure I made the right one. I am now working in Administration for a great company with an awesome group of people. I am learning alot and also enjoying the steady hours and income. I have been there for a year now and have already been told that I am headed for higher positions and that I am a stand out in the company, so that is pretty cool.
Thinking about that now though, I am hoping that i have not blown it, there was a bit of a mix up in the company this week and i may have sent feedback to my boss (by her suggestion) which she forwarded to the regional manager, the guy that gave me the good wrap earlier.... hmm hopefully he is not taken aback by people that speak their mind !
So what else.... I also moved house, I am still only 30 mins from the city towards ipswich but I think everyone thinks i moved interestate because no one ever wants to visit! I am liking where I live, I have a nice modern house, beautiful lakes and a view of the sunset every day for very affordable rent.
I moved here there with Rob, it has been 3 years and 5 months, I can't beleive it has been that long, although we feel like an old married couple, which I hate. Things have changed alot, he is a great guy in most aspects but he also drives me nuts. Over the last two years I have felt the lowest of my life and I dont even really know why, even went a saw a shrink. She thinks it is my relationship, I think it is me. But who knows.... kind of just plodding along at the moment, freaking out one day and ok the next.... but enough of the negativity.
I feel at the moment that nothing really makes me happy, work makes me happy, which is weird.... and my dog makes me happy
I am looking at doing a make up course soon, I need a new hobbie to make some extra money becasue at the moment I only earn enough to pay for my bills, rent etc. I would love to save for a proper holiday but at the moment the chance of that is slim to none.
SO.... why did I come back to SG? Well the thing is that i have realise lately that I have stopped doing ALOT of things that used to make me happy. Eg. seeing bands, going out with friends, playing guitar, painting, drawing and just general stuff. SG was a big part of my life at one point, it introduced me to my best friends, it had me doing fun stuff like driving an hour to trivia nights a t the gold coast, going bowling, seeing bands and of course attending and helping organsing the ball. I miss ALL these things, I dont know why i stopped. Actually i kind of know why i stopped, i thought I wasted too much time on here, and also alot of my friends left the site.
But there are a few friends still here and I'm sure plenty more to be made. I just want to have some fun again
Hope I havent bored anyone, so here is a pic to wake you up !

Let's not forget that you went into chat! Speaking of which, the last part where you say how a lot of your friends left (this is especially important with chat, but really it's applicable for the whole site) the most awesome part of it is that you meet new people. Not just hang out with existing friends. it's that you meet them. When friends move on, it's not that big a deal just so long as you keep meeting new ones.
Fortunately, I've found that to be easy here. At one time you did too.
All too often it's so easy for folks to say that they loved SG cause they met awesome people, but while they say it, they still are actually focusing on the fun they had after they met them. Where really the focus should be on how effective the "getting to know" part is. And that that is what's really the fun.
