New year, New laura
January 2, 2008 || Filed under alcohol, starting fresh ||
Happy new year to all - I hope yours was better than mine. I had to work from 4pm til 2.30am on a private party at the bar, therefore missed the celebrations. Well I celebrated with the guests, just didn’t get to party. Which was actually for the best, I suppose. What with giving up the drink, I suppose I did quite well staying sober and working hard instead
So on the 26th I’m being evicted from my house - my lease has run to it’s end. Another new house and another new lease will be coming soon, it feels like all I ever do is move my things into a new place and by the time I’m settled in, I’m up and moving again!
But this time is different. This time I’m moving to a new town. A whole new place - 45 min drive away. So definitely too far to walk. Which means I’ll be away from all the people I KIND OF grew up with (kind of, considering I’m from London and have been back and forth since age 7). It also means being far away from every ex I had. Every one night stand. Every bully from school. Every asshole I have ever disagreed with. It means a fresh start.
No gossipers, no chinese whispers. Just Laura - a new house - a new car (hopefully, if can afford it as mine blew up) - a new environment - a new job - new friends. And not to mention I’m moving to one of the biggest party/club towns around with a GORGEOUS beach and great tourist venues. Which means my career in bar management could really get somewhere down there!
I’m very excited. But only have three weeks to save lots of money and get everything prepared, which really is not long enough. But I’ll think of something - and I’ll manage. I know I will ![]()

Your so lucky. I wish I could just move away to a different state and get away from everything, and live by myself. Good luck (=

Happy new year. ^^ And good luck with the move! A new environment is always good - I was pleased when I started at school where I knew maybe 0.001% of the school’s population. It’s nice to be a new face sometimes.

Have to say I’m very jealous, I hope you make the most of it and have the best time.

I think it’s good your moving. A fresh start seems just what you need and it will hopefully help you a lot quitting the alcohol. Good luck with everything & I’ll be there for you!
