While waiting for my fish and chips yesterday, I went across to the library. (I miss the library. I used to go there almost everyday and devour 4 books a day) I decided that 'today, I will find a book I think I'll like and sit down and finish it like I used to!'
I found 'Molly Fox's Birthday' by Deirdre Madden. The chapterless style and perfectly crafted writing drew me in. I realised when trying to write something, that the narrator's name (supposedly a renowned playwright) was never revealed. Her narrative brought me through her day of memories and reflection. While it revealed her realisations and discoveries about her best friend Molly Fox (an actress) and her oldest friend Andrew Forde (some arty farty genius), it unwittingly revealed things about herself too.
(grrr my writing sucks now!)

This article/review seems to encompass most of what I think.
An evening well spent after a nice afternoon out in lovely weather with ceci :)
"It's funny how you cross paths with so many people in life, some you'll never meet again but leave you with important lessons" -Yap Zhi Xin
Throughout our conversation:
some ppl's lives are parallel so they'll never ever meet
some just cross once, and never meet again
some u cross all the time but you never know who they are, like ppl u see at the bus stop all; the time but don't know them
and when you think about the people you've seem to know forever, one day you might just realise you don't know them at all
life is such a funny thing
how the past informs the present the new things one finds out about people you thought you knew inside out the things you find out about yourself with these new discoveries
Now time to finish up finance!
