Antelope.
We met through a meeting of semi-like-minded individuals (hereafter referred to as S.M.L.I) from Uni. On one particular occasion we spent with these semi-like-minded individuals, we realised we had something totally awesome in common: We shared the same belief system! (Now, I don't know about you, but I thought that was totally awesome considering our backgrounds were almost completely different... and that we originated from opposite sides of the world.)
A retreat soon came around with the S.M.L.I, and as we were driving back to the campsite from a totally awesome waterfall on one of the days, we were listening to her awesome cds. CDs mixed by none other than her and Lady Brett Ashley. After many "OMG, I LOVE THIS SONG!" comments from me, Antelope came out with a statement that I will never forget:
As we arrived back at the campsite, 'Don't Stop Believing' by Journey started on her cd. Before we knew it, we were standing outside Lav-Lav with the song blearing, us playing Air-Guitar-Hero and belting out the tunes. Needless to say, we'd had an awesome time.
As months went by, Antelope and I had spent many hours driving around, listening to the likes of Adam Lambert, Disney, Ke$ha, Avril and countless other awesome musicians. We also went to the same church every week up until I went on holidays at the end of the year. By then, I had the awesome opportunity of meeting her totally awesome family, getting to know her super-cute and very excitable Heeler puppy and getting to know Antelope herself.
Although this year I have been quite a lot busier and have had less time to spend on the more important things in life (Church, Friends, Doctor Who, Friends (TV Show), Dexter as well as rest and being outside during daylight hours) I have still been fortunate enough to be able to spend (particularly in the last month and a half) time with Antelope and Vertigo; as well as meeting the awesome Lady Brett Ashley.
It makes me sad now (though totally excited for Antelope, Cookie, Lady Brett Ashley and Vertigo) that Antelope will be leaving the country in 91 days to head home, for good. I wish you all the very best of luck (and awesomeness of course) and I thank Antelope for the awesome advice, sensible talking to-s, walks, faith building, music listening, pizza eating, gelato trying, strand walking, ross river walking and TV show watching awesomeness that has been the last 19 months.
I want you to know that I will always be here for you, no matter whether I am across the globe or in the same country, when ever you need me and for what ever reason. You are one of the most awesome people I have ever had the honour of meeting and getting to know. Please, no matter what happens, let anyone stand in the way of where you want to go or who you want to be or what you want to do. The way you stand up for what you believe in is inspirational and there are many times when I wish that there were many more people like you in the world.
Here's to the future! I hope that in years to come, we will still be good friends and that things will work out. I must say, the moment I decide when I will be visiting your home country, you will be the VERY first to know about it. I look forward to the day of seeing the place you call home and to be able to do all of those your-country things we have discussed.
Lady Brett Ashley; you too are totally awesome and I am glad that you and Antelope are such great friends. Everyone (in my opinion) should wish to be able to experience the sheer awesomeness of friendship that you and Antelope share. I also look forward (hopefully) to seeing you again in the future.
Antelope; I will miss you and Vertigo beyond belief. You guys have been there for me when no one else was in the last 19 months and I thank you for that. Please know that if (at any time) you decide to visit in the future and need somewhere to stay, my home/s will always be open to you. Also, as my body clock matches the time zones on the other side of the world better than my own, I will also be there to talk to, any time of the day and night.
I know there are still over 90 days to go, but hey, time goes fast when you're having fun and I hope the next three months are, at the very least, close to the awesomeness that the last 19 months have been.
Just over 90 days; let's make them count?
