The Thick Plottens

you’ve already won me over in spite of me

Posted by: astrodominie on: November 10, 2009

I feel ashamed of not updating more, especially after reading the nice things SG had to say about me on her super blog. However I’ll think of something more entertaining to post about in a day or two.

I love it when I find the song that most suits what’s in my head but it’s also a little weird. Especially the thought that what you find so special is felt by over 80 per cent of the people you know. Both depressing and oddly comforting.

I think you subconsciously always know the people who are on your side. There might be no contact for months, you may not have seen them in years, but that doesn’t matter. There’s no pseudo-affection, no flurry of omg-i-miss-you-so-muches, just the comfortable slipping into a routine that you fell into so long ago. The ability to pick up right where you left off, and the security that even the stupidest things you might say won’t be mocked or paraphrased to a third party.

It’s the happy little offline messages when you don’t expect them, the greeting that you look forward to when you sign into Google Talk to commence another inane day at work, the email exchanges that may not have more than ten words each but which make you laugh, the phone calls when you want them the most, the Facebook updates that reflect exactly what you think.

It’s good to be connected. Where would we be without technology?

And this song is for you in particular. From start to finish.

P.S. I’ve just realised how much work has taken its toll on me. I finished this post and then I scrolled upwards to insert the drop caps and the head deck. I think I need a holiday.
