Well, it’s not as if I’ve been dead, but I guess I do feel like I’ve been out of regular social interactive circles lately. This is mostly due to work – I’ve been working five & a half day weeks for a few weeks now, pretty much since I got back from Europe in January. I’m so tired!
I had drinks with Chris & Brenden on Friday night. Chris wasn’t drinking, and so dropped me home at a reasonable hour, seeing as I had work the next morning. i didn’t end up getting to sleep until about 2am, following my usual late night ritual of staying up long enough not to feel room-spinningly drunk. I usually avoid hangovers that way. That and drinking lots of non-alcoholic, non-caffeinated fluids, and eating vegemite on toast. Vegemite ftw!
It was so good to see Chris and Brenden again, and hanging out on Luke & Michelle’s balcony, with its view right across to the harbour bridge, wasn’t bad either. I’ve missed the time with friends while I’ve been in self-imposed hermit-mode.
I still feel it necessary to say, however, that I am missing other people as well, and it’s not as easy as just saying, ‘let’s tee up a time, shall we?!’ Several people live a 23 hour plane ride away, and others perhaps only a two hour plane ride, but it seems not to make any difference to my ability to see them.
Anyway, I’m going to play guitar hero. I’ve been playing most of the afternoon, and it makes me feel nostalgic. Due to lack of practice, I’m crap at the drums, but the guitar seems to be just like riding a bike.
The name of my band in Guitar Hero (randomly selected by the game) is ‘Kitten Jugglery’. I don’t know whether to imagine kittens juggling, or people juggling kittens.
