i never have, nor ever will i be persuaded to jump into the dance and play the can’t-call-first-must-wait-48-hours-to-reply-he-said-she-said-i-was-picked-last-for-dodgeball game, when it comes to dating. no desire to play and cause drama for the sake of it all.
yet my friends here are all about the games with the boys they meet. in some ways i feel like i skipped over parts of my youth, as i was never like that when i was younger. maybe its because meeting people is hard for me and i tend to always be friends with someone before it turns into like. therefore, cutting out the game factor. either way, from the debacle i witnessed last night, i didn’t miss a thing.
dramatics aside, a night out was actually what i needed to take my mind off of things. no heavy drinking, or mixing of dangerous substances, i just wanted to dance, and that i did. that i did. in my new green dress too.
on an unrelated note, england doesn’t have air conditioning in a lot of the main shopping centres. shopping on a saturday was absolutely hideous in 25 degree weather. yet, a beer garden for lunch and mint chocolate chip ice cream had while laying in the sun (shade with my sunglasses) was divine.
i got my first birthday card today, from my gran, accompanied with a nice long letter…best kinds of cards are the ones where pages of foolscap come tumbling out, don’t you think?
the news from home keeps coming in positive, the move from the hospital back home was the biggest step. its amazing how the tide can shift in a week. it just makes you realize life is too short to be arguing and fighting over the frivolous.
today was good. i hope everyone else’s was too.
