A Time for Setting Down Roots


Okay. It is time. It really is. Last night, despite feeling tired and totally not up to it I went to pick up S to head over to M's. We hungout and played Pictionary. It was awesome, lotsa fun.
Well despite the fact that I didn't have much to say it was nice to sit back and appreciate them for who they are.
You see once there were 4 good friends. S,L,M,A. They have been friends since ages and ages ago. They meet up every saturday for sure to have drinks, play games, catch up, go shopping. For the 5 years that I've known S, I've hungout with them some.
They genuinely care for each other. M is happily married, A is seriously dating and just very recently bought her own place. And a dishwasher.

So as I watched them, I know what I want out of life. Think I'm ready to plant roots in one place, start making friends and lead my life. I don't need to run away anymore. Try looking for a good job, start thinking about buying a place, a proper car, date men for real...I'm ready for that.
Yowzer!

It's pretty cool. Here's the scenario.

An average weekend evening at my house. Lights dimmed, music playing in the background, a bunch of friends hanging out, all in various degrees of intoxication. All chatting, having a good time and caring. Yeah, that's the most important part. I'm ready to start my own little social family.

Then there's always shopping with the girls. Get all dressy, strolling down Robson Street with the girls then meeting up with others for dinner.
Oh yeah, nice.
Nice clothes, nice friends, nice life. Can't wait!! Oh, and boys can come and go until the right one comes my way.
Life will be good. I just know it!
For as long as I have the ability to care about other people, my dream is possible.
Uh-oh I feel the sudden urge to buy furniture!
