Mmmm! Long time between posts. I'm just lazy, I guess.

I'm back in Perth. Where did that 2 months in Africa go?

I got offered the job in Cape Town but I've turned it down. I don't think they were too surprised when I declined their offer, because I'd expressed my misgivings about the law and order situation in SA during the interviews. Of couse, the reason I declined the job is that it wouldn't resolve my real problems - namely, what do I want out of my life and what, oh what, am I to do about my inability to have a long-term relationship with anyone?

In other news, T (my house sharer) has told me that he's moving back to Sydney early next year (2006). I (and the dogs) like the house that I'm sharing with him, and I have offered to buy it from him. He's said ok, subject to us working out minor details like price etc, so I am going to sell the unit in South Perth (which I am currently renting out) - it will be a busy couple of months, but at least I won't have to move house again.

Poor T - his love life (or lack of love life) is as mixed up as mine. T had the great misfortune to find his GLOHL about 10 years ago. Problem was, he was dating another girl at the time, and like most males in their early 20s, he was shit scared of making a long-term commitment. So having found Janet, his GLOHL, he then proceeded to treat her like crap, and after a while she got the message and moved out of his life. He knows and admits that he hurt her, badly. He admits that as soon as she turned her back on him, he realised that she was the one. Problem was, she wanted to have nothing more to do with him. She got a job in Canada and moved to Toronto - she still lives there. About 5 years ago, Janet had an affair with a married guy in Canada and now she has a young daughter as an outcome of that affair - she never married her daughter's father, or more accurately, the guy never had any intention of leaving his current wife and family for her. T pines for her, but as far as I can tell, she'd be quite happy if he disappeared off the face of the Earth (that is, if she even spares a second to think about him). T won't accept that, even though it's more than 5 years since he last spoke or communicated with her.

I hope he finds what he is looking for when he goes back to Sydney. I'll miss him, because he is one of the few males that I've trusted with some of my secrets and in return has been trusted with some of his secrets. T has shown me that not all males are dick-obsessed tubs of pure ego.

On a final and not so trivial point, it is now over 6 months since I last had sex - grrrr!
