I'll get by with....
Man - this is a rollercoaster.
The first of my bunch of friends-from-home met me for supper last night. He's a beloved uni friend who I have known for 9 years and is staying with his granma and girlfriend up the coast from me for a couple of days on his way to Seville. We ate Paella, drank red white and lemonade and I started to feel like the world was normal again. God bless the boy. We made plans to have parties in London, and to set me up with all of his city-boy pals before my tan fades. He reminded me that Brendan-the-police-man was actually a freak who used to text me about 17 times a night saying that he loved me and so a fling-ette with him wasn't really the cleverest way to mend my heart, even though he now had a uniform.
I think that was the nice thing. With old friends you can't reinvent yourself, you can't make history up and try to paint it the way that you want to in your head because they know your history, they know you. Last night my friend took off my rose coloured spectacles and gave them a quick wipe and then he gave my broken heart a big hug and then finally left me at the little-white-bar by the sea at 2am with the following shot:
'I can't believe that you have invited Jay here. That's so cool. Does your Uncle know whats going to be unleashed on this place? I hope you've got your drinking head on sweetheart, and some big pants.'
Old friends speak the truth and oh lordy Jay and CD are coming to stay tomorrow for the weekend.... what have I done?

(21.7.04 14:19) Having met him just the once - I think you should heed his warning. Two new visitors sound like fun fun fun. The boy by the way is a friend of a friend, sexy as you like and very young - wish me luck. Can't wait to see you again. xxx |
