Hungry and Couldn't Sleep

Yesterday was Saturday and I slept a lot. Woke, drank green tea, smoked and went back to bed. Woke again at around 3 p.m. , drank coffee and went shopping at E-Mart. Had a sweet bowl of bulgogi soup with rice. Delicious. I had nothing in the house and was starving.

Almost bought some pants then didn't. Was supposed to go to game night with Terry but she ended up going to dinner with her sister. Tried to sleep around midnight; couldn't. Too HUNGRY! Went to the local pub for a Guiness draft and some chicken, ate only half. It wasn't very good.

Texted Kevin, he came by an hour later. Played darts and drank a little more until nearly 4 a.m. I wriggled some interesting info out of him, such as he used to be a male prostitute (sorry "jigalo") in Paris when he was 17! Ah...the interesting people you meet abroad.

I'm heading into the city for brunch with Woody and Laurie today. They're leaving for Canada soon, one month for Christmas with the family. Jealous! And I'll miss having them here then. I was supposed to have Christmas with them but now, will I go to Jeju to have it at Kendra's house? I don't know.

I might get those expensive (I'm talking Sex 'n the City "expensive) boots I saw about a month back if they're still there. I don't feel like drinking again, will I stay in Itaewon and end up at the pub again? I've been drinking entirely too much lately. Not sure why. The cold? A little bored? Feeling better and up for meeting new people again? Maybe all of the above.


Right now, I'm simply looking forward to finishing my contract and traveling with Nadine. Maybe Anne-Marie will come as well? Even Danila said: "I'm there, literally, at a cafe waiting for you!" It would truly be great if they came along. Especially Anne-Marie; she's so much fun and a really great person and friend. She was really there for me and supportive in my time of need and I'll never forget it. Love her for it! I hope someday to be able to pay her back for her kindness in some way.

This Kevin guy is very optimistic; sometimes I think, unrealistically so but I could use a little more optimism in my life. I will look on the bright side and hope for the best. I will let what is done be done; learn from my mistakes, try not to repeat them. Be grateful for the things I have, the people I've met and the times we've shared together. My heart is full of love and warmth for those I love even though I know, I always love them more than they love me. The INFP curse of having the ability to love so deeply perhaps?

In short, things are going well for me. I' m looking forward to the new year and a new beginning.
