Has anyone been to Groove Train in Southbank? It's really nice there. Otherwise, I am all over those noodle places on Lt Bourke 
Yellowtamarin, shame you're leaving us - are you moving interstate or just regional? Those boardgame things sound ok, I'll try and get to the next one. |

| Yeah I think you're right. I am desperate to connect with others, sometimes I feel like I don't want to and I hate other people but I think that's more depression and just general mood than anything else. I have a gf and she's everything - she's all I have because I dont have any local family and I ... |

It's taken me ages to try and get to this point and express anything, I have done this before on other forums and not really got very far, I can't even express my feelings and things that are wrong with me in writin... |
