I think that my friends are incredibly patient, long-suffering, loving, talented amazing people. And I don't know what I'd do without them. I'm a very lucky man. 

Hi Mum, Hi Stepdad. Hi, Original Dad.

I wanted to say thanks for putting me here on the planet and for watering, feeding and raising me.  Original Dad, you turned out to be a complete tool but thankfully Mum did a great job in finding a crazy, hilarious Scottish replacement Dad who is my father.  

Mum and Stepdad, I know it's sometimes been challenging and more than a little interesting for you to raise an only child that at times wanted to be Sarah-Jane Smith from Doctor Who, was more than a little bit sensitive, needed to dance daily around the lounge room with the volume turned up to 11, was obsessed with comic books and reading, was hopeless at any sport, terrified of matches yet loved burning page after page of the phone book in our old wood stove, nearly checked out of life the first time he tried a trampoline, had such a need to express love and it brought tears to your eyes and as an adult went on to suffer from depression and anxiety so great that all you could do was wait and watch as your heart ached at being unable to help your only child.

Although I've kept you on your toes from the minute you met me you've always known what to do.  You took my coming out in your stride, you understood how the bullying at school meant I didn't want to pursue higher education and when I wanted to leave to work in a record store, you supported that.  When I wanted to switch to hospitality, no problem. When I decided I might give the DJ thing a try you believed I could do it before I was even sure I could.  And you always let me know how proud you are of me.  A lot of people have put me down in my life but you've always been there to build me up.  

You've always welcomed my partners and friends and given so much unconditional love to all of them that I can't put into words how incredibly proud I am of you.  Thank you for letting me be whoever I wanted to be, for never judging me and for always being there without hesitation.

I love you, Ma & Pa. x

Easy.  Someone sexy, funny, kind, independent and understanding.  Although they seem like simple traits they can be difficult to find in the one person.

In the past I've had relationships with someone that was...

Sexy, independent, understanding and a hooker. No, really.  And he kept it secret for a year.

Funny, kind, needy and crap in bed.

Sexy, funny, kind, independent, understanding and cheated like it was an olympic event. 

Sexy and a fucking psychotic lying alcoholic wanker.

Sexy, funny, kind, loving, understanding, independent and leaving the country in three months.

So now that I seem to be choosing better perhaps I'll find someone that has the positive attributes I'm looking for and is actually remaining in the country.

Stranger things have happened.
