SOMETHING

Spent the whole day working at Manoukian with Roxane. I think there were more sales people than clients. It was so dead boring but lucky both of us were there so she got to listen to me babble during a full 7 hours (or nearly). We went out with Antoine to a Thai restaurant after that to celebrate Christophe's birthday (who wasn't there). We migrated to the homemade ice cream shop Capoue where Marie joined us in our celebrations. I left a note for the waiter. A reminder of each order we gave in. I wrote "meanie" under the bill just before handing it back.

The miracle of the day: not one but two pictures of Antoine! Everybody clap your hands! Woot! This is dedicated to him, his tupperware car and crappy radio.

This is for Marie, it’s a publicity I received in the post. It makes me laugh.

So here I am sipping on Gazpacho and discovering the first pages of Pigmy. Usually, I would be too absorbed by Chuck Palahniuk’s book to even think of setting it down to have another sip of soup let alone type something out on the computer. Yet, that’s exactly what I’m doing and I’m as bored as hell. I did go out to the swimming pool with Marie, Antoine and Pejman this morning and we had lunch together so I shouldn’t feel lonely right? I even saw Kei in the tram and got news from my parents in Rwanda. I’m in a cuddle mood. It’s my sister’s birthday today and I don’t even get a chance of giving her a great big hug. Hugging through the internet just isn’t the same. I’ve been living with 5 to 20 people these past ten days, 24/7, non stop, no break, no pause. I absolutely loved it and I miss them so so so much right now. I need someone to eat up all my free time.

Do you guys ever have this? When you know how you feel but can’t get in down in words? It’s so rhguidykivgbynu! And that my friends, is frustration.

I’m going back to work tomorrow. Roxane will be there too. I really want to see family, friends and new faces. I feel so isolated.

I’m happy I’ve spent such a great time with these people.

Don’t get scared, I’m only showing gratitude.

I love you guys.
