swoo

hey you... i was out when you imed me but now i have your new/old sn so i'm sure i'll talk to you sometime soon. xoxoxo

my immediate family don't drink on principle--- they're Christians verging on the fundamentalist side of things my extended family that live here drink a little, but nothing to write home about.

so yeah, going out to places i'd only normally go with my friends with my 57 year old aunt and her 40 year old lumberjack friend was pretty surreal, but they loved it, and people seemed to love them

and thank god for that, because i was worried it was going to be an excrutiatingly awkward experience

low-grade hermitry--- what a great turn of phrase! yeah, my Salingeresque lifestyle is coming to an end, pretty much because it has to. I'll be moving to Belfast in three weeks or so, to do some postgraduate research, so it's time to rejoin the battle to make the best of the experience. i'm looking forward to it.
