Cyber-friends

Dear Anyone,




Last night I met up with an American friend I made on Myspace a couple of years ago, who is in London on a short break.................. and 'she' turned out to be a 42-year old, balding man, with the biggest and most disgusting pot-belly I have ever seen...








Joke!!!

Luckily for you I trust my instincts and I had absolutely no reason to doubt her, even though I had a couple of nay-sayers telling me otherwise. Her name is Minnie (or that's what we'll call her) and we seem to have a lot in common. Our parents come from the same country, we're in the same age group, and we're into most of the same things. And she's really cool! Her sister is here studying at university for one semester, so Minnie came to visit and they'll be heading back to the U.S together on Sunday.

The three of us met up in south London and went to a bar/restaurant, but none of us was hungry, so we just had a couple of drinks. And we chatted and chatted and chatted away like old friends. Of course the main topic of conversation was men, since we're all practically in the same boat, and we exchanged stories of recent and not so recent relationships. It's so funny how similar our experiences are. It was a very nice evening. It makes me feel optimistic about meeting new people amd making new friends.

I definitely plan on meeting up with her the next time I go to New York. It's about time we made some female friends in the U.S., instead of these excited guys who aren't really interested in showing you around their country.

So here's to new friends - cheeeers!
