Yeah that was a pain in the ass, stupid blogger, makes me press enter for every one of those, now I have to go up and tick all the ones I've actually done... how irritating.

------------------{ UPDATE }-------------------

So t's the next day and I actually have a dedicated internet server here at home, which equates to having the internet whenever I want it, which is definately a good thing. It's been a tough week since I got back from Perth. Weve been house hunting for the better part of the week and have been rejected from almost every house that we have applied for. We have seen four ideal houses go by and the spirits of my two friends is getting darker and darker. Lynelle has been sick for most of the week and her stomach and her mood have really put a dampener on her and the groups spirits. Ned is falling into a certain despair as well, as he got as lucky as I did the first time he rented and is not used to so much rejection.

Well, I hear you ask, what about the person who is usually the most pessimistic in the group, if your two far superior friends are feeling down, what about you? Trying to kill yourself yet?

Not in the slightest, ne thing I have to admit being a little surprised about is that I have managed to stay almost superhumnaly optimistic throughout this entire process, and with good reason. Having another two of my friends come and live in Wagga, in such lose proximity to me is a massive leap in the right direction for me. It means that I will have the motivation I need, the motivation that Jassi could not have hoped to provide entirely on his own, to get where I want to go.

Incidentally, the house that we are currently looking at and awaiting a call from hs the cutest real estate guy, when he first came to see us, Nell and I were like "Uh huh, HELLO!!!!". He's hurt his foot badly over the weekend, so he can't approve or decline our application. My sympathies go out to you Cade...

List ten things you want to say to people but know you never will.
- Don't say who they are.
- Disable comments.
- Never discuss it again

1. It's not that your not enough, it's just that I cannot change the way I feel as quickly as some people. Tme will tell.

2. There is a very uncomfortable vibe between us and I am doing everything in my ower to avoid you because of it. I'm sorry, it's just the way it is.

3. Sometimes you frustrate me so much. I love you to death and sometimes I feel like the dirt gets more attention from you than I do.

4. Frustration is knowing that your good at something, but knowing you'll never get a chance to prove it.

5. Thankyou so much for everything you gave me. I know I never looked like I was listening to you, but you were my inspiration, and I will take the way you lived with me throughout the rest of my life.

6. Why can't you trust me. I would give my life for my friends, all of them, and you believe so vehemently in the fact I would turn my head on one of the closest friends I've ever had. I'm sorry, but that is beyond my ability to comprehend.

7. I am so wary of you now. You've caused me so much pain, so much anger, so much loss, but you still have something about you which drawns me to you. Once bitten twice shy, but twice bitten no cigar. We may talk, but don't ever expect me to trust you again.

8. I'm sorry I make you hate yourself, I'm sorry that I push for things that make you feel this way. I'm sorry that I feel the way I feel. I'm sorry that it will never change. I'm sorry if that forces me to lose you.

9. I regret the distance I have placed between us. You and I are always going to be good mates, but the fact that I see you as dangerous will always be the distance required to stop us from being great mates. I'm sorry that I can't do anything about that.

10. I love you but some times you need to learn to grow up. The world does not revolve around you, it never did. You are a capable person who does not need the entire world bowing to them to acheive thier results.

“A roof to keep out the rain? Four walls to keep
out the wind? Floors to keep out the cold? Yes, but home is more than that. It is the laugh of a baby, the song of a mother, the strength of a father, warmth of loving hearts, lights from happy eyes, kindness, loyalty, comradeship. Home is
first school and first church for young ones, where they learn what is right, what is good, and what is kind, where they go for comfort when they are hurt or sick; where joy is shared sorrow eased; where fathers and mothers are respected and
loved, where children are wanted; where the simplest food is good enough for kings because it is earned; where money is not as important as loving-kindness; where even the tea kettle sings from happiness. That is home. God bless it!" -
