A Different Life
I was working the bar as I do most other Thursday nights when low & behold someone I hadn't seen for about 4 years came in and stirred a memory long forgotten. It was a lass I was kinda seeing for a while whilst at uni (not for very long, we had a few dates and that was about it, I ended up getting back with one of my long-term uni ex's instead). She was avery pretty girl, but she was always a little indescisive, and besides I wasn't really over the aforementioned ex so it came to naught. Anyway, after we broke things off she very kindly informed me that her parents were ex-pats living in Bali and that I missed out on many potential holidays there (yes, thanks for that...). Apparently she is just about to start up a dive-school in Bali (where she lives, she must be the only person on Earth who lives in Indonesia and visits Scarborough on her holidays!) and so I was cordially invited to go out and visit, if I so wished.
Am I the only one who wishes that sometimes life turns out dufferently?
I forgot to get her e-mail address in the end so this entire story is pretty pointless now isn't it?
Bugger.

I think it's pretty natural for people to look back and think 'what could have been?'. There are heaps of situations I've been in from trivial to traumatic where I wish I'd done things differently but eventually you have to get over it and accept life for what it is.
But don't forget that if you don't like what's been served up to you, you can always change it. It's not fate that governs your life, but your own free will.
Sorry, I'm sounding preachy. I'll shut it now.
haha! No not at all. I wouldn't trade what i have now for the world though cause Cameron is worth more than that. (awwww!)
sickeningly true...
you can never change what you have for what could have been without taking pain. Plus you are both different now - you are there, she is in paradise!!! Cant be that many dive schools run by english chicks in Indonesia...
Another piece of wonderful advice then bro....*searches Indo's yellow pages*
tried the WWW? apparently it's quite good for searching for stuff....
Anyway, how you gonna get a ticket to bali in the first place - you still owe me for your fare to here (snigger, snigger)
Mort... my life is currently in so much turmoil because of that very feeling that I cannot begin to tell you all of the strife it is creating for me...

1) Got married to a "rebound" girlfriend (married 19 years now)
2) got reacquainted with (hot) (married)female classmate
3) developed feelings for (hot) (married) female classmate
4) wife found out
5) wife is leaving
6) I'm doomed (for now)
Sometimes things don't turn out like you want them to or cannot be changed (or shouldn't be)...
Not exactly your situation, but I know what you mean... I wish I would have done things differently a LONG time ago to avoid the situation I find myself in now :(
Where are you mortie!?! I need an update!
