Ok, so it's been a while. Sorry.
Happy new year though!!
Things that are happening with me:
1. I'm still working at the same biotechnology company. They were going to let me go at the end of December, but the new girl they got to replace me is taking longer to train up than they expected, so they asked me to stay for another month so they have someone to take the strain while they train her up. The irony is that she doesn't seem to be enjoying the job much and if I stick around much longer, I'll probably end up getting my job back! Not that I want it back.
2. At the beginning of December I got an email from Stephanie, my ex of about 2.5 years ago (for those of you that were on my friends list when I left for Sweden), saying she's staying in London for New Year on the way from NC to visit her sister in Africa. And would I like to meet up? Honestly, I was still pretty pissed at how we broke up and I considered various options such as not replying to her mail; flat out saying no; agreeing and then not showing up; showing up and telling her exactly what I thought of her; and finally just turning up and being nice because somewhere deep-down I missed her.
Of course, I'm way too easy-going and agreed to meet up. We kicked around London for the afternoon talking about what's new in our lives, went out for drinks in the evening and ended up making out. I went home feeling like I'd walked straight back into the same situation I was in before and expected the same result-- 2 years of feeling like I'd been kicked in the balls.
For some reason I agreed to hang out again on Sunday and I finally got round to telling her how I'd been thinking and feeling since we split up. ...lot of talking... and to cut a long story short it seems we had a King Kong of misunderstandings way-back-when wherein she thought I wasn't interested, and now we're going to try things again. I'm having trouble trusting her right now, but I'm hoping with time I will get there.
So there ya go. I enter 2007 with a job, a girlfriend and a plan. I even have a little bit of money. Which I appear to be about to blow on tickets to see the gf at spring break...
Still, not a bad start to a year, eh?!

I've known this person for a little over a year as well. I'm sure she knows that I like her now but it just feels like I'm being desperate. We'll see I guess.
