I'm slowly coming back...

...this has been the toughest move! I've been here 3 months and things are just now starting to settle down. Man.

I had a good weekend. Went out with a girl Friday night who took me to the Punchbowl (among other places) but I was too drunk to remember. I didn't eat much but drank much and then puked much when I got home. Horrible! Saturday I was in recovery. Then Sunday I had lunch with my friend Kathryn and some of her friends. To my surprise a guy I know from NYC was there and he's moving here! I'm SO EXCITED because he's a very cool guy and it'll be so nice to have a familiar face.

The rest of Sunday Kathryn and I went to the Rothko exhibit at the Tate Modern then walked along the river taking photos and talked about relationships - or rather our lack of them.

In our mutual groups of friends we're among the last singles standing so we can relate to each others varied emotions about our status' (or is it stati?).

Monday night I went to dinner with her again and another group of her friends. They were SO GREAT because they were so easy to talk with and all of them were people I would hang out with.

One girl walked in and I immediately recognized her. My friend Alex invited me to join that website, A Small World, so I did. And on her page is a girl named Laura who lives in London so Alex emailed her asking if she'd like to get together with me. Alex sent this email on Monday. So Monday night - in walks Laura - and I knew it was her but I waited about 15 minutes before I said, "I know this is going to sound strange but are you on A Small World and do you know Alex in LA?"

Sure enough - it was her!!! I know it's...well...A Small World...but this really was random given that Kathryn has no connection to Alex whatsoever. Crazy.

The NYC guy will be here this weekend then he's headed back to get his things so he can move here. I'm trying too hard to find something cool for us to do so he'll think I'm cool and want to be my friend here. I need to chill...
