Ok, during the summer of 2000 and.... 8 I think, I went to France, Spain and Portugal. During my travels I came across lots of people, but none made a more lasting impression than this guy from Mexico. I practiced some of my "awful" Spanish with him and we exchanged contacts. I knew he was not just straight (at the very least), but hey, he is probably old enough to be my father!
But apparently he doesn't think so! He added me on MSN today (he says it was a while ago, I just never said hi). I'm not gonna say what he said, and the whole conversation was in Spanish (which was excellent practice for my essay, up until a point!) but whoa, thank God for the Atlantic Ocean.
Still, I found the whole thing mildly amusing, and he knows about the book I'm reading as well, not quite sure how that is going to help my essay really since he didn't answer anything about the book, but I just thought it is cool. It was good to talk to someone from that period. I have this Dutch guy's email SOMEWHERE among my things as well but I don't think I should add him since it's been SO long now. Bah, the shock of talking to the Mexican guy has put me in the mood for studying now, which is sad because I wanted to play Oblivion and procrastinate, and fulfil Facebook's prediction - Oh yeah, I took a Facebook test which said that in 10 years time I will be on the streets. Cheers, fat, middle-aged test author :/
Hm, apart from that, I was considering not even writing today because I was just feeling so crap. He texted me back today. It wasn't like a "proper" conversation, but he let me know that he would be out on Thursday... : / Skipping over how that makes me feel, and more importantly, skipping all the scenarios in my head, all the paradigms I'm creating, etc. I also asked if he had plans for the New Year, I mean, I imagined he did anyway, but I just wanted to keep the conversation going I guess, probably not a very smart move? Who knows. I've talked to M today, very very briefly, he was feeling down last night as well. As he says, we're like two old ladies, always complaining and crying all the time... last night we made the most old womanly thing ever: we said we had a cold coming because of a few snivels. lame
In my defence I have to say I only thought about it, he said it first.If he was here I would probably be brewing tea right about now and saying something along the lines of "ooh Matilda (that's M's old woman name), pass me the honey dear, oh how Rupert (that's my deceased husband's name) loved honey, he wouldn't have it without honey" Matilda - "The tea?" Me - "er... that as well"
So there you go, it's not a completely depressing post this time I guess! I've been listening to "Because of you" though, it's about family cycles,etc. Now THAT would be a depressing post.
Peace
