A long time distant

I realised the other day that I have an addictive personality but a short attention span. I dive into new things with glee and enthusiasm believing I have discovered a new way of life. Take writing my blog - on starting I truly believed I would be writing if not every day then every other day. And for a short while that was true. I was obsessed - checking to see if anyone had commented, checking how many people had looked at my page and sitting on the tube planning what I was going to post about.

And it's not just blogging; budgeting, saving, making soup to take to work, exercising, dieting, being more friendly to people when I'm out, eBaying.... they are all things I have taken up only to forget about within weeks.

Anyone would think I was an Aries!

So quick life update (if anyone is interested):

  • Got a new job! Doing communications for a very large organisation - very excited. Who said anything about a recession.
  • Moving to Angel - Fulham has had it's day.
  • Frenchman - Nothing really happening aside from him ringing me when he gets drunk and trying to talk to me, I totally lost interest in him a long time ago - but like him as a friend.
So life is about to change in a big way really. Since I moved to London nearly two years ago now I have worked in the same job and lived west - which has been great but a change is as good as a rest.

I keep getting that nervous feeling that things could get stressful. Moving house is never simple, and this will be no exception. We are spliting the house basically - Me and the two girls moving to Angel and the boys staying put in Fulham. Which is sad, but we can't put our lives on hold if everyone isn't on the same page. Which leads to the question, live as a three or find two new boys to omve in with us?

I think the consensus is to find two new male housemates to live in a five bedroomed house, but I am apprehenisve and quite fancy living in a girlie flat now. Boys are great and all that, but they are secretive and never do any cleaning. And finding two new housemates at the same time as finding a house will jsut add to the stress, combined with the fact I am starting a new job. all this change does not a happy me make.

Well for better or worse, Angel here we come.

oh im totally with you on the short term commitmenting.... i get addicted to silly little things (twitter, fb, blogging, knitting, beading, music, running, cooking, reading, writing... the list goes on) then i get over it/forget i had an interest for months then remember i was supposed to be doing something about that... its hard to keep on top of so many things!!!

good luck with the move! maybe stick with the girls, you know them so know there is not going to be drama... throw in 2 new boys and you dont know what they are going to be like or what their bathroom etiquette is gonna be.... its never fun finding that stuff out AFTER they move in!! eek!

Yeah living with boys sometimes isn't all it's cracked up to be. Although they do offer a nice respite from the intensity of girl housemates.

Welcome to the North side of town ;)

I used to live near the Angel too.....still travel up there from Kent to have my hair cut. Good luck with the move, and congratulations on the new job.
Don't worry about the blog......I think everyone fgoes through that obsessive stage and then settles down a bit. Just pop back when you feel like it.x
