Well how do I explain this... I will try.
I have been thinking about my life in Manchester, my friends, my job and so on. In general I can't complain, but its not all it should be. My brother may come and replace my lodger at the start of next year, so I will be focused in helping him create a stable new life. Then again he may not, and if he doesn't I need to ditch the lodger and move out myself. I may have the chance to go be someone else's lodger, a first for me, which would save me a great deal of money but I am unsure as to if that is certain. At least I see I do have some options, even if they are limited. I need to say a portion of whatever measly bonus I get a Xmas, it may come in handy, who knows I may go for a lower priced unfurnished place, all I am really lacking is a sofa, beds, fridge/freezer and a cooker. The rest I really have. I did have absolutely everything before but I wont go into that. Place would need to be outside city centre but close like I am now, I cant rely on public transport, or want that cost. Maybe I am better staying put.
Also, going on on Friday reminded me of who I am, I DON'T go out and stay out to make others happy, if I don't like someone it is for a good reason. When the people I liked weren't about anymore I felt uncomfortable and trapped. I like my gay bars, I like salt of the earth people, I like people who like my music, who are common and say shocking things, fuck people who don't like what I say or I do, those who tell me I can't manage my money when they have no clue what my life is like, those people who claim to be gay and proud but get bored of the Village and think its fun to go places you would get killed for kissing your man. Integration is bull shit, I am happy living my life in the Village, outside of work none of my friends are female, why should they be, Fag Hags are something you had at college and school when you were the only one grown up enough to know you are gay, I have met thousands of gay men now, and I would be happy if I lived in an all gay world. The only bad thing about the village is the lesbians, who truely turn my stomach, and the drunken straight women, thinking it their God-given right to go there, in our pubs and bars, pushing past us, spilling their drinks on us, hitting us with their unneccessary bags and burning us with their cigarette ash. Some of my friends too, are they just friends because I had no-one in Manchester and I grabbed what I could?
Feeling back to "normal" mentally, all these views and opinions are the ones I felt all the way to 2004, before self destruct. Does this mean I am heading the same way as before, to lose my mind and body to something unstoppable, or am I just picking up where I left off? My values and opinions are what they are. I am happy to be racist, sexist, homophobic against lesbians and so on. They are who I am, too many people claim to love me or like me for who I am here, yet try to tell me I am wrong on things.
Am I doing the same with my men? I am getting back to my oldself men-wise, which I am not ashamed about, I must have had about 7 since I split with Daniel. Some I have just used for sex, others I cared for, though they are stockier than I liked before, am I just making do with such men as I am bigger now myself? I liked stick thin guys, I still do but they don't like me. Sometimes I just feel I deserve better looking blokes?
Work is good I love it, but the pay is a problem. We dont get bonuses now, except at Xmas and GOd knows what that will be, if it is low it will realy mess up my plans and goals. At the moment I am scraping by, my lodger taking the piss for so long has set me back about a grand, but by Xmas and hopefully with a bonus I will be ok and paid up so I can chuck him out if need be. I would just surive. If someone I could stand moved in, my brother or Mr Right, or even both it would be great. Unless I get a payrise though, I won't be going anywhere quick. I may sort my money then try and pay for an I.T. and German qualifications starting next year. One to get better money at what I do, the later do finish what I started many years ago. I will also get one in Estate Agency or similar, and then right at the end I will do Spanish. I can always follow up with the Dutch and Italian after, that should all take me 10 years or so.
So many main points of this
* need more money,
* need to make the effort to make friends through my own means,
* need to get rid of lodger,
* need to stabilise my home life,
* need to find that guy, who is the all-round package,
* & renew my intellect
