The ups and downs of a very intense flatting life.

Wow. Hopefully this will be a big update, and I can get everything in.

Firstly: flat situation. Turns out that V's boyfriend who was staying in V's room and paying for the spare room is a fucking PSYCHO and went nuts at me and made all us girls feel unsafe and crazy and had to escape.

He threatened me, tried to bang my door down to beat me up, went fucking mental. We issued him with an eviction notice, seeing as he wasnt on the lease, and gave him two days notice.

Did he go? Nope.

Did we call the police when he didnt leave?

Yes!

It was so terrifying, we called the police while he was upstairs with V and we (Kate, Sus and I) were downstairs and terrified and called the police and locked ourselves in our room when the police came to take him away. He refused to leave, they issued him with a 2-year tresspass notice, and he still refused to leave, they threatened to arrest him, he finally went.

Following came many abusive text messages to my phone.

He came up to me on the street when I was with my mate Susie and he wouldnt leave me alone and then he threatened me and fucked off. I went straight to the police station.

They rang his phone and told him if he contacted me again or talked to me I'd slap a harrassment order on his ass.

They advised me to change my phone number. I did, I changed networks even.

Nothing since then, But needless to say I am terrified to walk down the streets alone in case he's there, he threw a bottle at V's mate in the street and the cops were called on him. So he is agressive and out there and he's threatened me something chronic.

I finally saw my older sister after a year and a half of her being overseas gallavanting over the whole world doing the OE thang. It was okay.

We aren't two peas in a pod, but it was a nice effort for her to come to my town and stay the night and be polite and all that.

I met a fantastic boy on Saturday night.

He is freakin awesome. His name is John. He's a musician. And a painter (the house-painting type, just at the mo). And he's from the same area of NZ as I am, so he understands a lot, haha.

We talk like crazy and smoke like crazy and have sex like crazy and bond like crazy and he's invited me to go camping with him- his brothers and girls and friends- over easter weekend. Big step, maybe?

I can't get enough of him.

I don't think I've felt like this before and he tells me he really likes me which is freakin' awesome and hes so damn awesome.

I will update with what happens.

My bastard father threatened to sue my mother, and his general bastardness is oozing like poison through whatever confidence my mother had gained since he left her with nothing and tried to take even more.

Uni is so fuckin tough. Mental. Insane. I don't know how I'm going to take it!

Despite everything, because of everything, I am doing great. :)
