Thicker

I wish i'd written earlier, or every night, because i've had such an amazing week & now i can't remember every detail. I remember last Monday night- being at work from 1.30 in the afternoon til 10.30 at night to help out at a drinks reception, rolling with the chief execs, chilling with the caterers one of which apparently was on BB5... & chocolates from my office on Wednesday for doing so, which i proceeded to hand out to people on the tube & on the street on my way back home. Went to a lecture by Vince Cable on Thursday night, which was very soothing to listen to if anything, & a masquerade ball at V&A on Friday... darling. Saturday was a day for sunshine so I went to Brick lane for bagels with a bunch of friends, making full, gloating use of my travelcard (: followed by my friend Katherine, who goes to my uni but i knew her from the year above at my school, coming over for hot chocolate & a long chat. And yesterday was DJs vs the Big C, which was really fun, if somewhat ruined by an angry phone call just as i was just about to go in. I got back, my friend made me dinner & helped me cook my lunches for the next week.

I know i keep saying this but i really do love everybody & everything so much. I love London for the fact that the other day i was thinking about how great a composer Gershwin was, & immediately checking out Timeout & booking tickets for a Gershwin concert. I love all of my friends, i think, more than they will ever know & i wish i could put it into words sometimes how inspirational they are to me, how fiercely i'd defend them if anybody dared disrespect them, & how they are my rock- i'd be at totally, utterly lost without them.

Despite how independent i like to think i am.
