Fast forward, I’m standing still

I am writing this because and just because. Because they tell me to. There are no pressing issues.

I am still waiting to catch up with my life, which has been set a pace I can barely keep up with. I appreciate the speediness however. It keeps less pressing issues at a distance. Like longing and loneliness. I’ve been at home by myself two nights in a row and I am starting to miss things which I dont really care about. I am wanting to get in touch with those who there are no room for in my future.

Life has been good to me lately. Work is busy, and on-and-off interesting, the books that I am reviewing are either intriguing or annoying, but equally fascinating. The friends that I have made and continue to make are still around and I expect them to be for a while. Even as annoyances are surfacing, we enjoy each others company.

One friend in particular has reentered my life and given me more fun that I could have imagined. We’re each others humour-therapy, each others somewhat sane-but-crazy companions in this crazy-crazy city. I hope it becomes a permanent arrangement.

Several old friends are coming back to the city. Well, they’re here for the first time during my stay. I am not sure if that makes any difference. It’ll be interesting to see them in a different setting.

And what else .. I am still looking for someone to watch movies with me on my laptop and who’ll rub my back and feet. A few adventures - some maybes and some almosts - have borne little fruit. Perhaps there’ll be some, or one, certain(s). When dozing off, I like to imagine what my online dating profile would look like. I am sure it would make you laugh as hard as I do.

And that is it for now. Forced blogging, forced sharing - in that case you can’t expect more than this. More will follow when I catch up - or when I give up doing that.
