I HAVE ARRIVED
11.07.02

After a very long train trip. 3 and a half hours, not very long unless of course, there is:
no space
cramped feet
lack of circulation
2 kids sitting opposite you
the kids decide to eat, throw, fight, and play for the entire journey,
much to the delight of their mother who didn’t stop any of the throwing or fighting.

I was kinda tired, not sleepy tired just myachk! Tired.

Called Jem and got instructions on where to meet her, caught the train, got picked up by Jem then went back to her sisters place for tea.

2 frozen fish portions, mashed potato, pumpkins, peas and corn with sweet chilli sauce later I was taking all of three seconds tog et ready (my hair + wax = ready) to go out.

Got directions to where James was, drove the long long stretch of highway only about a block before where James was five or six times. Got more directions from James. Found James eventually.

He got in and took over driving. Went to “The Xchange”, walked in, walked around, walked out. Went to “The Market”, walked in, found no, I repeat NO people there and turned around and left. Went to “The Greyhound Hotel”, met Turtle, told Turtle we were going to The Peel and to meet us there after she finished work.

Note to Jem: She is not short

Met a few of Jem’s friends too. James, Rob I can remember defiantly, and I think Emily and someone for the life of me I cannot remember his name. This is not a good sign, seeing I was in now was intoxicated.

Then will sleep or at least try to knowing it is now about 5 am and I need to be up for breakfast by 8 am to make before breakfast finishes at the hotel restaurant.

Gotta sleep, write again soon.
