Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
Nin is not an author I frequently read, mostly because she always seemed so trite whenever I attempted to do so -- "Passion gives me moments of wholeness" my ass, you horny bitch. Still, this quote always stuck with me, and I'll be honest in saying that I'm not sure as to why. I suppose it appeals to the fact that you're always one way with one person and another way with another; of course, Nin is prone to romanticizing this and probably meant this as a literal explosion of new horizons and all that new age shit, but when placed on a more practical level, I guess she has a point.
I'm not sure what I mean by this, other than Leeds is coming and I haven't bought this much booze since last Christmas. No, make that last Saturday. At least the fruits of my alcoholic purchases were ripe and enjoyable for most, if not all. Certainly a fucking salve for me.

Happy to see that the party went alright. Much like Richard found someone else's boxers, I also picked up a couple of things that aren't mine; if you have suspicion that I might have your lost articles of clothing and/or possessions, they're at the shop. If I'm not there, just ask for Norma, and she'll get them to you in discreet fashion. Also, I just got done looking through my phone history, and whoever Mr. Townsend is? My apologies. I was, for lack of a better term, fucking blitzed.
