Reconsidering

Ok, so let's abandon the idea of Iraq. Dan sent me a link today to a story in the Independent which confirmed that the British Embassy had told all Britains to get out of Iraq, whatever their job, and that the airports and roads had practically shut down. I mean it wasn't the brightest of ideas in the first place, but it would have been a fantastic opportunity, and I am a bit gutted that sensibleness is overtaking adventure. But at least I will live to tell the tale, at least without getting shot at. I hope.

Today was a non-leaving-the-house day, with me working at the computer most of the time, though this was brightened by bursts of messenger conversations with various people, who of course I now miss more after having spoken to them! However, as a result of speaking to someone I haven't seen since I graduated with him, I was then prompted to e-mail other people I have seen equally as rarely, so it was a good thing. Even if he was pissed and it was 4am in England, so conversation was a bit random. The crazy fool.

But this was a good missing of people. Today I was not at the depressed-missing-people stage, I was at the remembering-why-I-miss-people-in-the-first-place stage. It was good sitting in front of a messenger window in comfortable 'silence', smiling at the mannerisms and language of the people I left behind. I can't wait to go home and see everyone again. You remember why your friends are your friends. It's good to remind yourself that they are there every so often - it allows you to refresh your images of them and remember how great they are, which you might have forgotten temporarily. Although it may be slightly painful, it is also wicked fun ;o) Even if you do become a sentimental bugger sometimes, and end up smiling at the screen........
