Of Life and the drive south

Hi all Kieran Here,

Well since this is officially my first entry on this blog, i hope you will all bear with me while i get my teeth around writing long winded and meaningful pieces of literature once again, after being so used to simple, basic replies to facebook comments and online gaming chatter.

Some of us have all the luck in the world, some of us are less than lucky, but it seems that i have had all the luck when it comes down to finding a wonderful and beautiful (asthetically and mentally) partner in Lisa.
Although she is now living away from me, in the big smoke, Wellington. I am making my best attempt to keep in regular contact, write her snail mail, and generally be the best boyfriend possible over long distance. To be honest this long distance relationship stuff is a new thing for me, having never before had to experience it, but wow is it hard work. My mum always told me that long distance was hard, but i never really appreciated her advice until now.

Although i enjoyed my first week alone immensely, and found it a little envigorating if not a little guilty to be apart from Lisa for a while, of late it has become painfully obvious that i am missing her very much, if you are reading this post Lisa, I love you lots and lots, miss you heaps and cant wait to see you again.

Well i have driven down to see Lisa once already, having the good luck and fortune to have an awesome friend in Lisa's Dad Noel Taylor. He seems always keen to contribute in anyway he can to allow me to visit Lisa. I am very grateful for this, and having a car to drive down with always helps to keep a measure of freedom in where you can go and which breaks you can take during travel.

Its less expensive that i realised to travel down to wellington, although i can see it becoming an ongoing expense, the return cost for a bus ticket is only $39, and a plane ticket return around $120. Its cheeper to use these methods of travel than travel down in a car, the last time i went it cost me roughly $180 after i had tallied up all the petrol costs. Noel was kind enough to fill the tank before i left, but i replaced that petrol when i came back.

Skype is a wonderful invention, when possible both Lisa and myself keep in contact via video call, and are able to keep in touch and up to date. Its really nice to see each others face. Stops you from forgetting how each other looks, haha.

Anyway bed time is upon me. Best finish this up.
Hope everyone makes use of this blog, we hope that you can keep up with what we are doing, thinking and generally living or going through. Please leave your comments.
