on People Around Me

Tell me thy company and I will tell thee what thou art.

I went to see a few people today and someone handed me a thumb drive of the shots we did a while ago. Well, I didn’t do them, someone else did but I was around and since Vi is currently unavailable, the whole thing was handed to me for safe keeping.

The pictures are good. She’s very pretty and very camera friendly and she has a body built to sin. The pictures I thought do her justice though some of them would probably make some people cringe. I sent her a text message but she hasn’t replied yet.

I actually slept the last few days and it helps a little bit. I feel a little better though my head is still almost completely dysfunctional. I’ve stopped taking any sorts of drugs – I don’t need any more painkillers – but some Ritalin might help. I don’t have my pills with me tho.

Chatted a little with Fluffy the other day on Gmail. We hadn’t talk or chat since she started calling me names a while ago and was probably rightly, too. I told her I’ve a new puppy. She said she’s planning a bicycle trip around the world though she’s giving Jakarta a pass.

Chirpy called and asked where I was the other night. Some of the others were abandoned at De Hooi after I left and he asked if anything happened. I’m not sure if we were talking about the same thing, so I told him that nothing happened. Lil Bro is fine and now that Mother and others are back, they can probably do what I couldn’t. He also told me that the other dude literally slit his wrist. Like some time last week but I wasn’t told about this. I wasn’t sure what to say.

I thought it’s really sad and it does make me very sad. I just don’t really have much to do with it so I thanked him for the news and hang up.

I went to see my Three Favourite People and chat with them for like an hour or two. Chatting with kids is so much more entertaining than the grownup these days. They tell you things as it is. Mostly it’s about school and their holiday plans and stuff. Once in a while, I like conversations that fit common sense. Little Hanna is now big and her math is now up to doing fractions and integers. They asked if I’ve a new girlfriend so I told them they should meet someone first and tell me what to think. I have yet to go back and ask.

Big Sis wasn’t around. I wrote her an email instead. I don’t usually write mails and I haven’t written to her for like, you know, since I was little and was away on the wrong end of the planet. I just feel like writing it down so I did.

Leticia called, asking if I was coming to Singapore at all. She was there with the Kyrgyzstanis and they were shouting and screaming things rather hysterically. I think they’re somewhere in CQ and they were talking about something happening in Attica. I asked if anyone would get me a Greenday ticket. Suri asked if I read Anathems and again recommended me to get the book. Yes, people. I will.

I also met up with Christina and the others. We didn’t chat much but it was nice to see them. Seeing her in particular is always fun. I do have some really good friends. Someone said yesterday that they deserved a medal for being around me for years and years. I’m thinking that’s how I have some really good and nice people for friends so I’m proud of them, too.

I called Vi and told her that we need to Photoshop her nipples soon as she has the chance.
