Cheers!

I met up with my old school friend last night and we had a blast. Despite not seeing each other in person for probably six years, and our online conversations only ever really being small talk, we pretty much hit our stride within seconds.

We've always been close, so while there was the usual element of banter in the conversations, we got to the meaty stuff pretty quickly and we caught up on the past six years. Well, the important pieces at least.

That meant, from my perspective, I had to delve into the memory banks to dredge up details about online dating, RB, KfW2 and CB and my series of coming and going funks as the main highlights. Sometimes, when passing on details of these things, I can hold back a little. I maybe don't share exactly how I feel, but it's different with OSF. I was brutally honest about CB and my hopes and frustrations at the time. OSF was very perceptive about KfW2 and asked a few quite direct questions as well.

We also covered mutual friends - G, M, MM (by association), E3, FP etc. and we've shared as much as possible about those people. However, by this time, it was getting late and our shared "promise" of keeping it respectable had gone out of the window hours before, so we made a tactical decision to limit the damage and call it a night.

However, now that I remember how good my friendship is with OSF, he's now another person to add to the list of "people I should make an effort to see more often". I need a magical lottery win to afford that!
