Mixed Signals

Picture Credit : SuiGenerisXL

I have written about this before but I am going to have to repeat myself. It seems like everytime I find myself stuck in a situation and I write about it on this log things start to look up. There is some progress on the accommodation front and I am optimistic. Yesterday started on a good note with me calling up someone who had advertised for a room and he does seem like a really nice person. He has even agreed to pick me up from the airport when I reach Sydney. I just hope he isn't a serial killer or a rapist because then I would end up on some secluded road from the airport to the city with my throat slit open.
I have asked someone I know in Sydney to go have a look at the place and in case it's good give the person an advance to reserve the room. The room is in Marsfield and so isn't very far from my institute and that a major plus. I hope my acquaintance in Sydney does his part or else I would be back to square one and in a lot of stress.
I also called Mr Hyde who regularly leaves comments on the blog. It was kinda interesting to put a voice to his face and words. I am not a very people's person but with some people I just hit it from the very first conversation and that is how it was with Mr Hyde. He made a very interesting observation that when he started to read the blog he had an idea that I was a very shy person and an introvert who didn't socialize much and of late I have started to socialize quite a lot meeting many new people. That is exactly how things were in the past and are at the present. I have met many an interesting people in the last month and the irony of the situation is that I am leaving soon and therefore most of this friendships wouldn't get enough time to blossom into something beautiful. Anyways everything happens for a good reason and I am happy to have met all these people.
Today I'd be going to meet this person I met on the New Year's bash. He seemed like a nice person and as we both weren't on the dance floor like everyone else so we did get sometime to make some interesting conversation albeit shouting at the top of our lungs because of the loud music. I spoke to him yesterday to make a plan for today and I got a feel that he was looking for more that just a meeting. I think I made myself very clear that my intentions were very honourable and that there were no string attached to the meeting. He proposed us 'hanging out' at his room to which I politely refused. I hope I didn't make the wrong decision by calling him and am I sending mixed signals!!??
Hope it's all pleasant, I'l keep you guys posted about whatever happens ;-)

Marsfield...Marsfield is too far away!!! way too far! But cheaper and there should be a train station near opening soon. I'd wait until you see how far it is before you decide to live there..seriously.

Hmm... you've got me worried now JB!!

But as of now that is the only place which suits my need and budget and I think once me there I could decide!!! But it's about 20 mins walk from Epping St and from there West Ryde (my campus) is just a 6 mins train ride.
I could look for something permanent once me there.
Thanks for the tip though!!Appreciate it, I cold brace myself accordingly.
