Where did you go?

It's ten years to the day that GM brought Foreign Girl out for an afternoon's drinking and partying. I don't think her and GM talk any more - nothing wrong per se, they just drifted apart. She's disappeared off Facebook too. We were Facebook friends for a couple of years. I don't actually think I can remember her name.

But I recall that being a great day, somewhat drunken, and then GM admitting a few days later that Sports Girl had thrown an almighty huff later at FC's house because she assumed, rightly or wrongly, that GM and FG were getting it on. I know they had in the past, but I don't know if it was an active thing by the time she came to visit or if it was happening that night.

But I seem to recall it being a great day.

Walk it off.

Maybe just a little bit later than planned, but I did get a walk done at lunchtime, and at just under 1.7 miles, it's not a bad start. Bear in mind that my typical daily walk when doing the challenge from Random Internet Woman was about 1.2 miles.

Hopefully, I can keep this up for a couple of weeks, and then see where we are about moving on to Yoga or the CG workouts I've mentioned previously.

And the point of the walk was to post something for KfW2. It made me realise that I don't get enough personal stuff through the mail any more. It's all bills and junk mail. I did get the odd bit of mail from USHW and I got a postcard from Foreign Girl, which were greatly appreciated. It genuinely meant a lot that someone took the time to scribble some words and post them to me.

Bah!

Over the years, the amount of personal post that I can remember receiving has been practically zero. I can't speak for anyone else, but the smallest things can bring a smile to my face and make my day. I recall a postcard from Foreign Girl that made me grin. It didn't say an awful lot, but the fact she'd taken the time to buy a card, a stamp write a brief note and post it meant a lot to me.

Over recent years, I've not posted too many things. I can recall only a few birthday cards for KfW2, and she always seems really appreciative. Back in the day, I swapped letters with R2, sent little things to AM and QC2 etc. and I did it quite frequently.

So when a handwritten, posted note came through my letterbox this afternoon, I was delighted. And intrigued. Who was going to send me a handwritten letter? It's not my birthday or any kind of event.

Sadly, when I opened the letter, it wasn't Morena Baccarin declaring her undying love but someone unknown to me, wanting to tell me how great the Christian Bible is. Sigh.

Happy anniversary?

Out of nowhere, Sports Girl messaged me on Facebook.

Well, not exactly nowhere... it was our 4th Facebook anniversary apparently. It was also my 4th Facebook anniversary with Foreign Girl as well.

Both attractive, mad women. One's bad mad, the other good mad. Or good mad until you start dating her, who knows?

Elementary.

I've always harboured a suspicion that SG wasn't entirely honest about her feelings towards GM. The official line is that they met on an online dating site, quickly knew they'd be friends, but nothing more. However, a few months later, on a drunken night away, doing sporty stuff, they ended up fucking.

They then lapsed back into "we're only friends" territory, but SG was very jealous when Foreign Girl was in town. As FG and GM were telling me this one night in the pub, I declared that SG was harbouring stronger feelings for GM than she was admitting to. In fact, I suggested this to almost everyone who asked - FP, KfW2 amongst others.

During this time, SG was going on dates, but ending them early so she could come and meet us (GM, S and myself) in the pub. There were rarely any second dates.

It got to the point where I suspected that GM and SG had progressed to being, at the very least, fuck buddies, ending up at GM's after each night we were out.

So, when I professed a theory that SG had hung around, making herself available for GM if he ever changed his mind about dating, I was shouted down. Or at least, the theory was pooh-poohed. KfW2 was one person who was certainly dubious.

A few weeks ago, whilst very, very drunk, SG admitted that she fell in love with GM pretty much the first time they met.

This, in my mind, backs up my theory. It certainly confirms the fact that SG had been harbouring strong feelings for GM long before she admitted to them publicly.

Downer.

There was a repeat performance on Saturday night with Foreign Girl and GM. We managed to talk S and one of his friends to come out as well. Foreign Girl was stunning in a black t-shirt and jeans I've always maintained that a good looking woman can look as good in a t-shirt and jeans as a full on posh dress) but I was never able to identify who she reminded me of.

Possibly the actress Amy Acker, but I'm not 100% sure. But, regardless, Foreign Girl is a blast and very sweet. We ended up at a club that I love from a decor perspective but hate from a musical perspective and it was nearly 4 AM by the time I got back home.

FG pulled some fella shortly before I left, pretty much confirming what I'd thought on Tuesday that FG wasn't interested in GM beyond being a platonic friend.

We swapped a few messages on Facebook where she hinted that she had really enjoyed herself and would be back again, maybe even quite soon, as long as GM would be willing to put her up. I think that's kinda of a no-brainer.

I didn't sleep well last night and have been in a massive funk all day long. This isn't like my usual "loneliness" funk, this is something different - possibly just a come-down after nearly a week of fun and drinking, but there's something else as well - a sense of foreboding.

I had a brief chat with KfW2 today while she was on her way to lunch with a friend and off the back of that, sent her a text suggesting a night out again soon. I'm still waiting to hear back. I've also sent a text to CH trying to do what she should have done a few weeks ago - re-arrange our cancelled lunch date. Still nothing from her either.
