I keep opening a post to write about what I've been up to, going to Christchurch and going to Dunedin and seeing Gareth again, then I just leave it open and don't write anything. Too much to say, I guess, and at the same time I don't know what to write.
Christchurch was really nice, though. I can at least write about that with a degree of coherency. I spent a lot of time relaxing at home with the fam and the ADORABLE new kittens, and caught up with all the major Chch friends too, which was cool. Mum and I went up to Hanmer for a night and just had a really nice indulgent time, eating out and going to the hot pools and getting massages. It was nice to spend some time with her just hanging out, all casual.
The whole Dunedin thing was a very spontaneous last minute decision, but it was really good. It was great going down there with Surin and her flatmates and being chill. I also saw Gareth again and Surin and I ended up staying at his place the night and that's where things get complicated.
Suffice to say that nothing's really changed between him and me, even though we said it would. Our platonic resolutions of platonicness lasted all of about two hours, and that was only cos we were at his mate's flat with a bunch of people.
Surin doesn't like him, which I think is interesting. I'm doing my best not to be all like, "But you just don't UNDERSTAND him!!1!!ELEVENTY!" but it's pretty hard. Certainly I know he can be a dick at times, but he also seriously isn't at times, and I dunno, I think I might be a tad biased :P So all in all, I still don't know what to think or do, or I do know but I'm not prepared to do it.
Le sigh.
