reading richards blog led me to discover the proposal by the melbourne city council to establish a Relationship Declaration Register. spear-headed by deputy mayor gary singer, this is the closest we have come to any official recognition of same-sex relationships. YAY.
that said, it's not same-sex specific. i'm concerned at one of the statistics conservative fear-mongers like salt shakers are using to discredit such a plan. that is, that in other areas where this type of system is used, very few couples actually use it. ok, so - if you're in a relationship of any orientation: guy girl, girl girl, guy guy, guy plant etc - then think about supporting this measure when it comes to fruition and registering your relationship!
a few glasses of wine, a nice meal, and a quick trip to the town hall to register your love with this wonderful city of melbourne? sounds hot.
i would love nothing more than to see the relationship register get huge numbers upon implimentation. i know i'm going to be e-mailing like crazy. and if anyone wants to come with me and put up some posters or anything, that would also be quite rad.

a new story about new love
so, i work in a clerk-ish, typish, call-center-ish type place, health-care style. normally i act in a managerial role, but sometimes i pick up some extra call center shifts. for the cash, yo.*
so a few weeks ago i was doing just that when i got a call from a patient after some results. she didn't sound very old - and, it turns out, she wasn't - but what she did sound like was cute. and fun. so we talked for about half an hour, because i'm bad at my job, and afterwards i decided to be completely unethical and text her, having gotten her mobile number from our computer records.
terrible, no?
luckily, she didn't think so, and we texted back and forth for a few days. then we got into the terrible habit of making four-hour phone-calls to one another really early in the morning. which was fun, if not a little tiring.
finally she asked me to come to a party of a friend of hers on saturday night. seeing as i worked till eleven, it was a bit of a rush, but i got there. we met properly for the first time - and i met her friends, who were delightful - and we stayed up till 4am talking about nothing at all, before making out for quite some time.
did i tell you she's a gymnast? AND a nurse?
i'm in a gooooood mood today. hooooooooooooooooooooooooray!
*pimpin' aint easy, etc
