Well, I have an hour off whilst Adam’s at work! (My work in fact… he needed a job, I talked to my boss.. and voila ! He’s employed!) He’s off doing training at the moment… am going to go pick him up in about an hour. In the meantime, I will have to have a cheeky cigarette whlst he’s gone… hehe heh

Today I made good on my competition win and went into Chatswood to do my modelling session! My god… how much fun! I know I’m a bit of a camera whore at the best of times, but I absolutely owned it today in front of the camera. Adam came along too… he watched, and we even got a few shots of the both of us, and even a few of just him.
Saw the photos at the end… modesty aside, both of us looked pretty fucking hot. And the couple shots were so unbelievably cute it wasn’t funny! Now all I have to do is save up a shitload of money for the prints. *sigh* that’s how they get you, y’know. Offer you to do the shots for free, chip in a little for the shots, but only enough to get you one print. The rest.. well… it’s going to require some serious budgeting from me to afford them all. I will have to stagger them out over the next few months. Overall, the shots will cost upwards of $1k. But they prints are huge, and framed. I think I will give one to mum for her birthday.

Well, I knew it was inevitable one day, but mum insisted that she have dinner with me the other night, and since Adam was staying with me, well, she offered for him to come along too. I know it’s always uncomfortable for parents to meet their son’s gay partner, but she did really well, and was really polite, and for that I am so proud of her. I really wanted her to see that I am happy with him, and that he’s as wonderful as I always tell her he is :p heh heh
Adam, of course, was scared out of his mind. Meeting the parents is a huge step in any relationship… and from what Sarah said about mum’s propensity to sometimes be hostile, he was a bit cagey. But, likewise, I wanted to prove to him that I really did want him around. That, and mum has changed so much in the past few months.. she’s really been so good. All in all, it ended up being a really successful night! I was so happy with the outcome. After dinner, Adam and I went to see “The Day After Tomorrow” at Hoyts, just next door. I have to say, after walking out of the cinema, I felt nice and warm, even though it was a winter’s night! hahaha

Well, as mentioned in my last post, Adam got around to reading my journal, even the posts which were protected. I’m glad he did, though it was inevitable that some parts could be easily misinterpreted. I keep forgetting that my journal is always a mess of half-baked ideas, random “thought-of-the-moment” entries and other emotions that I can never describe as well as I would like. Yesterday was an emotional day for him, and yes, there was a part of one of my posts which got him upset, but thankfully I was able to talk to him and explain. I’m glad he read it though… honesty is my best trump card, and trust is essential, if not crucial, in any relationship. Plus, considering how much more I have fallen for the boy in the past few days,. its best he knows everything there is to know about me… I hate mystery.

Aaaaaanyway, that about wraps it up for today’s ramblings.. be sure to tune in tomorrow for more exciting and whacky adventures in Gus’s Crazy Messed-Up Life!
