i send my SOS to the world- this is my message in a bottle. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An Oasis in the City
We went to dinner at this awesome indian/pakistani restaurant, Mela on O'Farrell. It has a little obscure door that leads underground to this absolutely cool restaurant. It's like a little oasis in the middle of the city. It was beautifully decorated with these intricate ceilings and we sat on these little stools on the ground. The food was good and I was having one of those "Here I am in the city at this totally cool restaurant doing something totally different" moments.I couldn't help but feel like I was in a movie somehow, just the surroundings, being in the city, like some sort of naive little girl enjoying something so outside of her element. It was so fun. We talked about all sorts of stuff and just caught up in general, and I laughed until my face hurt and my sides ached. Somehow, there is a sense of home for me that exists with people that I love. There isn't any pretense, no explanation of history. She also touched me immensely because she asked me to be a bridesmaid when she gets married.....AW! It was just a warm and fuzzy affirmation of our friendship and I'm so glad that she's found someone that she loves so wholeheartedly. We tossed around ideas about hitting a bar or a club, but just ended up at coffee shop on Filmore, talking and laughing some more over white hot chocolate. We had a little girl talk; boys, family, love, the city, roomates, sex, life. I'm so glad she's here and hopefully I'll be able to see her again soon. It feels good to have a piece of the good parts of me here. It seems as though the parts of me that I love the best are brought out by the people who I love the best. So that always feels nice. 12:23 a.m. - Saturday, Feb. 12, 2005 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
