This is supposed to be a blog for my travels...but it has been really difficult to a) access internet and b) find time to blog...
I have always dreamt of publishing a novel...and I used to adore writing...writing short stories, writing in my personal diary and writing my previous blog...
So I gave up my job, started travelling and I have immense amounts of free time...but what happens?
The writer in me has died...
Nothing inspires me
Instead, I wanna take this time to bitch about N.
N and I became friends last year after he asked me out for a drink - yes, I know...desperate or what? Basically told him he wasn't my type, etc...so we became buddies.
I say BUDDY, but I think he was still hoping for some chance (NO WAY!)
Anyway, I made the mistake of telling him my plans to travel to Australia - cos he was supposed to go to Korea to teach English (he got the job etc)...
He cancelled the job and decided to LATCH onto me for my travelling plans...
We used to be able to have a good laugh, but after travelling together for a few days and being in each others' faces 24/7, you soon start to see what that person is really like.
Long story short - I think he's a total d*ck and he thinks I'm a total b*tch - it's okay, we tell each other constantly.
WHAT I REALLY HATE IS - People think we are a couple - so to avoid this problem, we are now "cousins" (he DOES call my mum Auntie so it's a half-truth)
When we arrived in Australia, I knew a few contacts so we started hanging out with them...but I left to go travelling back in Asia - Hong Kong / Taiwan / Korea - whereas N stayed on to start his life there.
I am now currently back in Australia - Sydney to be exact. And my word, N has started to do my head in AGAIN!
Why?
He is COPYING me! No, I AM SERIOUS!
Reasons why :-
1) New people always ask me why I am in Australia - so I USED to say that I was hoping to "settle in Australia" - N used this line too...(this is fine cos that may be true)
2) But now, I have changed my mind and started to say "I am here for 6 months to see what Oz has to offer me" and guess what? N has STARTED to say the same words too!!!
3) Also, when I first came back to Oz (for the 2nd time), I said I was not going to stay as I wanted to go teach English in a foreign country... the next day, N declares he is off to China to teach English!!!! WTF??!!!
4) I am flat-hunting at the moment and I went to Bondi Junction and fell in love with it. N is also looking to rent somewhere else as he wantED to be closer to the city. I would see flat ads near the city and send it to him, but he would say they were not within WALKING distance to the city... After I declared Bondi to be my dream flat place, N has been saying he wants to move to BONDI TOO!!!! Get lost!!
5) But then, I decided that I liked this place called Newtown cos it reminds me of Glasgow's West End. It is kinda near the city, but not within walking distance. Guess what? I just overhead N saying to his flatmate that he is looking for a flat in Newtown!!
6) Also, one more thing - N had been moaning about how he didnt want to hang around with the same Aussie people...anyway, I met them the other day and thought they were cool and told N. He then said, "Oh yeah, I'm glad I found them!"
COPYCAT???? Yes I seriously think so!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am seriously not going crazy...but he is starting to drive me crazy! WHY WONT HE STOP COPYING ME???
From now on, I intend to keep my mouth shut about any new plans I may have cos I want a NEW LIFE NOT WITH N lurking around...URGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should tell him something like "I want to move to Tibet and become a monk", and hopefully he'll be gone by the end of the month.
