Gearing up for Oz Day!

Greetings once again, on a Monday. This is the first Monday I've had off that hasn't been a part of my cherished 4 day weekends for about six months, so I'm enjoying it by getting all cleaned up and playing video games. It's nice and overcast outside so I'm looking forward to spending it indoors. I'm still getting over the sunburn from the beach last weekend so this will be some good recovery time for that too.
The weekend was interesting. I worked for it but I went to a friends' house party on Saturday night and had a bit to drink. I was happy that I didn't get completely wasted. The 'everything in moderation' resolution I made continues to hold up, and I'm noticing that the more I moderate things that I was doing to extremes before, other things that I was in deficit of before seem to be coming into that nice moderate zone. I probably quantify things too much but it's still a nice effect. Basically I got the girl from work who I'm keen ons' number, which I wasn't expecting to get. I also invited her back to my place for what I made very clear wasn't going to be anything too full on, just a bit of company. She considered but declined, but I didn't push the point and we wound up talking for ages and then texted all of Sunday, which was pleasant. I just hope I haven't found my way into the friends zone yet again. I'm hoping my offer made it clear that I'm after more than a platonic thing.
It's interesting how hard it can be to maintain something easy. Ever since I began taking an interest in girls I've stressed that I've wanted something easy and simple, none of this stress and shit that seems to come out of a lot of relationships that I see these days. Admittedly because of subsequent events I myself have slipped up a lot since those halcyon days of easy coming and easy going but I'm trying hard to get back to the point where I took it as it comes and it came easily... or at least more easily that it has been.
Australia Day is tomorrow, and I plan on getting drunk for it. Again I say that I'm not very patriotic, but it's nice to have a holiday that centres around something not as polarizing as religion or your marital status and mainly consists of lying around getting on the piss. I have to work the next day so I won't be going too crazy but it'll be nice to have a few with my mates and forget all the shit for a while.
Anyway, those games await. Peace out.
