stormdogI'm back! Heh, I spent Sunday and Monday nights in Chicago with Syn. Friends make me happy. I was feeling a little tired and down on Sunday night and was telling my brother that what I really need to do is go see my friends again, and within minutes I was told that there was a phone message for me. *g* Sometimes the universe just clicks together, and it's a wonderful thing. Got to see Lander and Benjie too. Then on Tuesday I got to see Daveqat. Does life get much better than that? I'll be working long hours the rest of this week, but I'm ok with that now.
Syn took me to a very cool restauraunt called Dave and Buster's. It is, as he described it, a 'Chuck E. Cheese for grown-ups'. I'd never been anywhere quite like it. 'Course, I don't get out much. They had an extensive arcade game collection (though no pinball; I guess pinball is out of vogue these days...) including six or eight battlemech sims. I've only played in one of those once, at GenCon. I'll have to go back sometime. What I found most striking though was their ceiling fans. They had a large arrangement of fans that were all run in series on a huge belt drive system. The belts wrapped around gorgeous brass flywheels with curved spokes, set in faux-wrought iron support members. Oh, it was cool! Very Jules Verne. I want some. Of course the best part of the trip was getting to cuddle people. Curling up with a friend and going to sleep is probably the nicest thing in my experience. I don't know how I got by for 23 years without people to cuddle. I don't think I could do it again...
Came back on Tuesday night after work and went out for food with Dave. It's been far too long since I've seen him, and getting a chance to again made me happy. He missed the whole time I had my goatee shaved. He thinks I look better with it, and I'm inclined to agree. I told him about my friend Mike out in Oregon *waves to Mike* and he doesn't think I'm crazy to go and meet him. That made me feel a little better. If I'm insane, at least I'm not the only one! to all my friends. I love you all!
I was feeling a little down when as Syn talked about he and Dave... I wonder if that makes me selfish. I'm not jealous of other people's relationships, just envious. Oh well. It took 23 years to find friends, and now I even believe I might find somebody to love. I just hope it doesn't take another 23 years... *g*
