So the concert was brilliant. Naturally. Before you know it, two hours have passed and it was over like a dream. There was more interaction with the crowd this time... maybe because it's taken so long for her to return to Australia. Maybe her current situation with custody of Rocco is leaving her more vulnerable. We didn't just see Madonna the performer, the icon, the businesswoman. We also got to see Madonna the person, the mother, the human being. And I really liked that. Please don't leave it too long next time, Madge.
The long weekend also saw Ying flying over and crashing at my pad for a few days before leaving yesterday. I woke up this morning to silence, and really felt her absence. It's funny how I yearn so badly for my own personal space, but there's a lingering ache after a visitor departs. Such a dichotomy of the head and the heart.
A mate of mine revealed he's going to propose to his boyfriend, and get married in the next couple of years. News like this always remind me of how different I am in perceiving and regarding relationships. These days, I've more or less abandoned the idea of ever being in a long term committed partnership. I'm not sure if it's because I'm so used to being single that the idea of being tied down terrifies me, or that the concept no longer appeals to me in practice in the real world. Don't get me wrong... I still enjoy a good romcom now and then, but that's just a fantasy hey? Everyone knows those stories don't happen in real life.
