My life...well it isn't that bad. Actually it is pretty okay. what are the main components of a happy life?
Professional Accomplishment- Jobs ect.
Home- your actual place of residence
Friends- The ones you love
Family- The ones you love
Money- Financial stress is such a damper
Sex/relationships- well ya know...
Home- I am living alone for the first time and it is different, but nice. I have a great apartment in one of the most sought after suburbs in Perth. I have hardwood floors, a view of Hyde Park and the city skyline, a huge comfy bed, and all the extras. It's nice. Very nice in deed. I am lucky. I am walking distance to a famous cafe strip with bars and great shopping. 3 mins cab ride to the city center. 15 minutes to the beach.
Professional Accomplishments- I like my job, a lot. I started out in a position that I like and found another position I would like even more that I believe I am getting promoted to in the next few weeks. My days fly with all of my clients and phone calls. There is always a funny story and I am learning new things everyday. I am fulfilled.
Family- I am finally in the same country as my family. My mother is a 20 min drive away. My mothers friends I have known since I was born are great and treat me very well. I like this.
Friends- I have friends. Lauren my friend from childhood has been just great. I am constantly invited out to functions, will never spend a weekend alone, and she is just so generous. The other girls are okay. They are not at all like my usual friends, which is majorly disappointing. I like celeb gossip, charity stuff, shopping, dancing, drinking, and doing anything fab. They prefer looking at themselves in the mirror, doing the "rounds" in bar and then deeming everyone "inappropriate" or not good enough, posing for pictures (aka trying to model), judging people, not drinking more than 2 glasses of champagne, and looking so bitchy people just don't want to talk to them. Not my style. I miss my fab friends and would trade the world for a night in the backyard discussing the lovely dramas of our lives.
Money- I have enough. More than I have ever made by far. I don't have a crap load but I am enjoying the extra cash, a lot. I am by no means rich but I am no longer a starving student. Which is also nice.
Relationships/Sex- I am dating again. I decided my time off while in Bangkok was enough.So while on Christmas vacation from work (almost 2 weeks, paid which is so much better than in America) I went out with 2 guys. One that I actually thought I liked. The other I have decided to keep as a friend. You know how you meet someone and well you are quite intoxicated. You meet up again and you are sober...yeah, so a friend. Plus I also swore I would never do the whole military man thing. Anyways on to the one I did like, keyword being did. He is a teacher (chemistry), tall, blue eyes, and funny. So my type. Then there was Friday. After an exhausting day of shopping, running around all over Perth for a TV and outfit for New Years and The Perth Cup. I mean I was ALL OVER TOWN and it was a hot day. Then I had to deal with my out of town family and then a dinner with my mom. Stressful. All I wanted to do was watch watch a movies, drink a bourbon, and go to bed. He insisted on coming over. I gave in. He came over. One drink turned into a lot. Things got silly. It was fun. Not silly in a whore way, silly in a silly way. Things were fine. Things were in fact good. My girls know the juicier parts. Fast forward to the next night, Saturday poker games at Laurens. Where she explains to me that she knows him. As we started talking more about him she informed me of a few details he had failed to mention in our courtship. I just don't understand why men can be such liars. I know I am new here, but note to Perth men. It is not 6 degrees of separation here, more like 3 and that is pushing it. Goodbye Mr. Liar, thanks for playing. It's been real. That night I thought of the simplicity of B and missed him. He was always there when I needed him. We didn't play games. I actually thought oh him a lot on New Years, I thought of the first messy kiss at 4AM January 1st 2006. Anyways...
So what next? Date again? Hmm maybe. Maybe the bouncer I met at Llama Bar in Subi on New Years? I have a weakness for bouncers as we all know. Flashback to the I of US Summer 06. Even Mr. Liar worked at Burswood as security every now and then for fun.
So all in all I should be fairly happy. And I am, but my love for good old AZ is strong and getting stronger. I figure that if Kate can deal with her grad school girls, I can adapt to these bitches. All I need is a bottle of rum to tone out 2 hour conversations about their fake boobs.
So here are some pics fro New Years. All in all New years was decently fun. I asked the DJ to play my favorite song when I was highly intoxicated. Every time a new song started I just pointed to him and sang my requested song. When he finally did there was a shout out. I danced around to "We Are Your Friends" and thought of all my lovely friends scattered across the globe. It was a really nice moment.
The next day I was woken up by Lauren demanding that I get up and get ready for the BMW Perth Cup. I was so not having it and went back to bed, for a few hours. The somehow I dragged myself out of bed, attempted to get ready, and drove to Ascot for the races. As I wandered around looking for our table, I realized why people love the Kentucky Derby so much. Dresses, Hats, placing bets, horses, and wine. What more could you ask for?
The Perth Cup...I hoped my huge glasses would hide my current state. We like to pose. 
The fun crew....
No saying that any crew is unfun..because that would be very untrue.
I am adjusting...slowly.
It's funny, I am so used to a go go go lifestyle with having such a full life in Arizona. School, work, friends, and then boys. Now I have more time I have no idea what to do with myself. I mean NO IDEA.
Well I could start prepping for my housewarming this weekend... Where I will take many more photo's of my house, life, and friends so far.
