Back, updated, life, love and pain
I got halfway through updating the old diary entries when something happened to render them superfluous.

Cory got a new boyfriend. And not a boyfriend in the sense of "well, I'm really in love with you, Si, but you're on the other side of the world, so I'm going to date him in the meantime". In the sense of "we're in love". I'm not going to go into too much detail here, just say that I met him when I was over visiting her, and he is a cool guy. She could do a lot worse (and has done) and he's plainly in love with her. This is a good thing. Her and I had a somewhat unpleasant exchange of emails but we cooled down and made up. We're not in contact at the moment, but I imagine we will be again, eventually.

Bear in mind, I hadn't heard from her in around a month when I heard this, and I had been getting on with life. In fact, I was feeling happier than I was when I was trying to have a relationship with her. Weird, but I feel better alone than trying to make that work.

Anyway, my single state lasted about 3 weeks longer than hers did. I'm seeing someone I met off NZ Dating. Well, I'm not officially seeing her as of yet, but I think it's pretty obvious that we will be eventually. It's good. She makes me smile and has a brain and likes sex and everything like that. Can't really ask for anything more ;-)
