I turned up for the second one and I noticed her there as well. This was quite strange considering the people getting married are not mutual friends, they don't know each other, and so I wasn't going with the same circle of friends to each party. Anyway, I got talking to her again and never have I felt such an instant connection to someone before.

That may sound rather silly, I don't know, and I don't mean to appear naive or that *I am exaggerating anything but basically, I don't often make connections with people I meet and so this kind of shocked me. I don't know if I have or even buy into the theory of a "dream girl" but I've got to say that if you forced me to list some qualities she would have, this girl I met would tick rather a lot of these boxes. Neither of us knew many people there so we quickly attached ourselves to each other and began talking and I don't think I have ever learned so much about someone so quickly before.

She has a fantastic sense of humour that she said has often landed her in trouble when people don't know she's joking (something I know a lot about), loves football and spent a good ten minutes explaining to me why my team are doing so poorly this season, loves music and plenty of heavy metal (her favourite bands are Isis and Neurosis, the last album she bought was the new Godspeed You! Black Emperor LP which I bought too, the album shes listening to most at the moment is Eddie Vedder's Into The Wild OST which Last.FM tells me is my third most played, and she likes Electric Wizard, Cult of Luna and plenty of other awesome bands I don't often get to talk to people about), we both have just one, older sibling, we both lost a friend this year under the same circumstances, we both think Stephen Fry is pretty much the greatest man on Earth and talking to her felt very comfortable, as if I were talking to someone I have known my entire life.

We talked throughout the night until the reception was over then we went to her hotel room and we stayed up all night and talked into the early morning. She seems rather spontaneous, which I also like, and around 5am she told me to take her somewhere important to me. I didn't really know how to react at first but after a few seconds contemplation I took her here, as it is a place I used to go to occasionally when I was younger and wanted to be alone. It was obviously bloody freezing so we took some blankets and walked up and sat at the monument which, in the daybreak, has a much more attractive view than I had realised, and listened to some music, looked at the stars and talked some more.

Afterwards we went for a walk and ducked into a nearby pub for a drink and by this time it was noon and she had to leave. I saw her into a taxi and she went to spend a few more hours with her family before she leaves because, as incredible a person as she seems, she was born here but now lives in Germany and says she has no plans to come back.

Now I'm left with the strangest feeling because I'm talking about someone I saw for the very first time less than 48 hours ago and someone I have only really known for less than 24 hours, yet it kinda feels like I've been kicked in the gut.
It seems like every time this happens to me it ends badly when I pursue it... but maybe you're different. Dream about her and wonder, or chase her and find out. Or at least keep in contact with her. Just don't drop it and forget about the whole thing, whatever you do.

God, that's plain shyte to be honest. I feel slightly envious tbh because I don't ever 'connect' with anyone regardless of how long I've known them. It just doesn't happen.

What is the chances of having a long distance 'whateveritisthatisgoingon'? Because I think you deserve it .

Last night I went to a show at UCSD in the Che Cafe to see my friend play. There were three bands: Rat Jam, Creative Conspiracy, and Penis Hickey. Rat Jam was some mediocre crossover thrash band, and Creative Conspiracy (my friend's band) was a ska group. Was not a fan of either, but I stayed to see Penis Hickey because I thought that their name was awesome.

It turned out that they were a jazzcore duo with an amazing chick drummer and a bassist with a million different effects. Their show was pretty badass, of course, and my band was all there so we got to talking and Penis Hickey is really interested in doing a collaboration with us. So it looks like either our groups are going to merge or both of our groups will start doing shows together as separate bands. Either way, this is some pretty great exposure for my band and theirs as well, so I hope that this all goes through.

Very cool!

Penis Hickey... probably one of the best band names I've heard in a while.

We'll see how it goes. If I had any confidence that the landlord would reimburse me the money I would have done it awhile ago. It's an old oil furnace and I've heard those are more expensive to repair/fill up, plus at some point in the house's life it had carpet and when the tenants/and or landlord decided it didn't need carpets anymore they tore it up and shoved all the spongey underlay in the airducts, so those need to be cleaned out before any heat can traverse through them, which is doubly annoying. In any case I'm not going to be able to convince anybody to do anything more than just try to button up the house until our electric bill for the month comes in and we can see just how expensive these fucking space heaters are.

Just wish I had ripped the batteries out of it when the others were installed, then I wouldn't have had this debacle last night. Oh well.

It's always essential that carbon monoxide detectors are placed in the right place, but if you have a new boiler it shouldn't really be a problem if its serviced reguarly (once a year) The real danger of carbon monoxide is if the boiler flue ever gets blocked and then leaks into your home.

I know it wasn't your problem, but annoying beeping of mains connected smoke alarms always occurs when the battery backup is running low.

Any extension you get done these days, always requires interconnected smoke alarms, it's an expensive proposition.
