This seemed like a good idea at the time

This is my first entry on my blog and I don’t have much to say.  I suspect that I will be saying alot though as I continue living and breathing. I am looking for something different to write on. I have been doing daily diary entries ever since I could remember but have now decided to sort of ‘upgrade’ and do it on-line.  After watching the movie ‘Bridget Jones diary’ I think this is an idea whose time has been long overdue.

So as I write this from my desk at work, it is way after working hours and everyone has gone home.  I would probably be home myself if I didn’t have a prior engagement at a friend’s for dinner.  I am actually looking forward to that.  She is one of the finest cooks I know and dinner at her house has never been disappointing. My former work colleagues with whom we are now good friends will meet at her place tonight for good food and chatter till morning.  We do this on average once every month and these monthly sessions are loud, hilarious, movies are watched/discarded, books and movies are borrowed from the host’s house never to be returned again.

Now that I think about it, this group of people brought together by certain common interests (food, laughter, movies, work) have moved on to become great friends! Who would have thought. 

I have more close friends beside these crazy 8.  My high school desk-mate is one of my oldest friends. Incidentally I had two deskmates in high school, one during the separate history class and the other shared my desk during normal day to day classes.  Both are now my closest friends.  I share with them almost everything.  I also have one very good old friend who lives in the USA and we have known each other since we were 12.  She is the one who knows me very well, taught me how to use a fork and knife, laugh without restraint and with her I share everything, warts and all.  Then there is my sweetheart.  My partner, my best male friend, my lover who makes me laugh about everything and the person who probably knows me better than my mum.  He is loving, sexy, understanding, non-judgemental and the one person I know who would not hesitate to hurt another in my defense; a nice guy.

He was my protector for a very long time and at one time, he was even my boss (!!!) before we became much more than what we were.  Without him, I probably would not be where I am today (blogging).

I would therefore like to apologise and take back what I said earlier; I may have had alot to say today afterall.

For my next posting, I will blog about a book that I read last year and how this book has made a profound and real impact in my professional and my personal life.
