2nd February, late Sunday night.. Look, thats me on the left of the couch, with two boys sitting on the right. We're all watching a movie, you can't quite see what it is, but its in black and white so the glow from the telly is a little different than usual. Both of them are tapping their feet and hands to the soundtrack only slightly, but they don't realise it. I do though, and my attention is distracted and I smile to myself as I glance in their direction. They are new friends, and I am thinking to myself that I am glad I met them here, in this new place. But I also think of old far away friends at the same time. And one friend in particular. We haven't talked or written or emailed in a week and I suddenly realise that this is the longest time for the three and a half years we've known each other that we haven't been in contact. 'If he was here, he would be tapping his feet too' I think. ******* Now just a short note.. including some San Fran list abuse... Yes I'm back. In a new place, now. Moving on your own to a new city in which you know no-one is an odd experience. But it has been a good one so far. Its kind of liberating actually, and I have surprised myself most of all with my own confidence. Meeting people is easy, especially when you have a novel accent. Speaking of meeting people.....calling all San Francisco listees.... do you want to meet up mid-february when I will be in your delightful city?? Mail me off list if you do.. and I promise I will bring you presents. Honest. But let me tell you that you may have alot to live up to as in my limited experience of meeting sinister people I have never met a sinister I didn't like :) Awww, you guys...
