Go go gadget 'whoosh'

Jerms - a Brief flicker and then gone again.

Well I've had an interesting few weeks.
But since it's all been so emotionally draining I now lack enthusiasm to write about it, so I'm sorry to anyone who desperately wanted an update, but you're either going to have to ask me specific questions to drag the gory details out of me, or hope that I decide I'm ready to remember the pain of it again.

In brief though:
I've moved to Hamilton. I have no phone and no internet, but that's okay because the only person I want to call is Ambrese, and I can use the internet at uni.
I'm living by myself. It took me ages to decide I was finally stable enough to risk it.
I've started uni. Today is the first day of my second week. I think it will be fun.
My 'friends' have backstabbed me. I am now broke (again), alone (again), and bitter (again). There is nobody left here I can turn to.
I'm really, /really/, REALLY sick of the way that bad things happen to good people. I'm thoroughly sick of being a nice guy, and I'm thoroughly sick of being stood on.
Trying to look on the positive side: I have a councellors appointment in twenty minutes. It's free. Well... by 'free' I mean that I've already paid for it, but meh. Close enough.
And WINZ have decided they have their sh*t together this year and are going to start paying me the student allowance only a week late this time. It sure beats hel out of their previous record; only eleven weeks late. So at least I can keep up with rent payments, even though it won't cover food at all. But I'm used to living below the poverty line, so /that's/ okay.
