Not the best two weeks of my life

Yo,

So, seriously, things have been so crazy and mostly shithouse for the last 2 weeks that you know, I feel like it's worth putting here. That way at least when things get good, I can look back on this and appreciate it all the more.

So here's what's gone down:

1. After a weekend away in Sydney, a friend of mine of about two years and I fall out. He is a compulsive liar, with a gambling problem, and a super-arrogant annoying facade.

2. A friend from Jujutsu class (i.e. part of the "jujutsu family") passes away from a diabetes-related heart condition.

3. Got into a fight with a busker on the street after he pickpocketed my friend. However, my friend managed to reprocure the wallet and run away, WITHOUT telling me. Hatred of this lack of responsibility ensues! So when the busker starts chasing him, I think he still has the wallet, and I give chase. Result: Unharmed busker (i took him down carefully) and one fucking painful and bloody nose for me that still hurts a week later. Then he tries to sue me for $260 (that's including $50 "loss of income", lol!).

4. A week after point 2 occurs, a message is received saying that another acquaintance has hanged herself! Then it is revealed that it was her ex-boyfriend who sent the messages. But just TODAY it is further revealed that actually it was HER who sent the message in order to get revenge on HIM for something else! Seriously, so soon after someone I actually like dies, to have this thrown in and then pulled out again is actually rather painful.

5. 11 hour casual work during the day, between the hours of 5am and 9pm. The boss picks on me for shits and giggles (just in the last couple of weeks!) This combined with World Cup Soccer (which Australia LOST) results in a weakened immune system and a cold.

6. Last night, a reclusive friend who I've been trying to get off everyday marijuana and I fall out, for the second time. Recently he told me "Yes, I've given weed up." He's the most odd person I've ever met (although smart at times), but last night he got overly sensitive (not the fucking first time) about another friend of mine whom he thought was laughing at him. Or so that's how it looked (and he denies it now, the pothead). He storms out without a word and drives home, with my keys, sunglasses and jacket in his car. Not responding to any phone calls or messages, I end up having to catch a cab to my friend's house, and growing increasingly anxious because it's -3 degrees, and I have to be at work at 5:30am the next day (I ended up an hour late). Finally at 4:30am he calls me up, and I yell abuse at him down the line. He comes to my friend's house and I open the car door and a cloud of green smoke pours out of it. What a fuckwit.

7. Upcoming move to Japan delayed from October to January.

So, the end result is one friend dead, two friends now on non-speaking terms, and one whose respect has just gone down the toilet. Furthermore, emotions having been toyed with regarding the (non)death of another acquaintance. Also a busted nose, a possible court case (unlikely, though), sickness, lack of sleep, loss of World Cup, and now I have to wait a further three months before I can get out of here.

All that in 2 weeks. Crazy hey! Well I guess 3 good things have happened though, come to think of it. One, despite losing a lot of friends in a short period of time, I am hanging out more and more with my new Sri Lankan friend now. He's cool, and likes drinking haha. The night of the fight I got it on with a slamming hottie (yes, I mean a girl) while in Canberra's only gay club (lol! it was my first time in there. weird!), and then today at work they tell me they've been underpaying me because of a computer glitch and that I can expect $100 a week extra in my weekly pay for the next 4 weeks :)

So maybe things aren't THAT bad after all...
