(no subject)

So I'm not 20 anymore, and my trip hasn't made me think the world is different and magic here, I don't think talking to a girl for 3 hours is love, and I know the pluses and minuses...well exist. But I am so happy I came, that for some reason people with these interests congregate here, that the weather feels like this, that people walk around with far less clothes on that my town (and generally look good for doing so, if a bit like cars left in rail yards too long).

I can't believe I have so many good friends. How did this happen?

Last night I about lost my mind in an old school goth night - I've been goth scene-ing for years, but this looked like my mental picture of the UK in 1995 or younger. I danced to songs I've loved for ages but never heard in a club. I didn't think it was a phase, but I also didn't know it was a retirement plan.

Curiously this was also in a bar that serves high-end tap beer. I had a coffee stout that tasted more strongly like coffee than coffee.

Though playing this was both lovely and odd

I'd write more but my feeling articulate was illusory and there is a cat in my lap.
