Sat Aug 3, 2002 -
First of all we were supposed to be having girlie night OUTSIDE in Ki Ki's back garden, but then the heavens opened (did they ever) and although the night wasn't cancelled but sitting in the back was, which meant we all had to sit in Ki Ki's lounge which was fun but rather sticky. She only has a ceiling fan, which for some reason Connie thought was spinning in the wrong direction...whatever.
Then again I was wearing my jeans with a linen tunic topic on which was kind of hot.
About 12 girls turned up, what a riot it was, the conversation of course turned to sex, boyfriends, husbands, periods, orgasms, it was great, you gotta love being a girl.
One of the girls Nancy turned up with her french bulldog I think it is, Rosie, who is a really cute dog but you see Ki Ki has three cats so I thought it was kind of a gamble to bring in a little dog. Unfortunately I was hoping that the cats would give the dog some shit but then didn't, in fact they all re-treated, which left the cheeky fucking dog to eat their food.....
I met one girl, well she looked like a girl but was actually thrity. She was the image of a younger Iman, absolutely breath taking and really a lovely person. Apparently she is from Africa originally and was found by a model scout, she came over, learned the language and tried desperately to accustom herself to the Western world. Can you imagine though how vicious a lot of the other models will have been to her in the beginning. Anyway she has spent the past 10 years earning and then sending her money back over to Africa so that her family can live a better life and also so that her father can have surgery as he has a bad heart.
My god I was completely flawed by the warmth of this woman, really good person and most definitely getting the VIP treatment in the pearly white gates eventually. You see there are loads of really good people out, not thinking of themselves but mainly of others, makes me feel ashamed.
Not sure what time the evening wrapped up but I do know that I returned to a rather drunken Morpheus and Buddy Weiser who were both chilling and having fun. Of course I ended up staying up extremely late with them partying some more and I think I retired around 8am this morning....disgusting.
So by the time I woke this afternoon I was not in a particularly good mood. Mary Anne called and spoke to Morpheus, so he tried gently prodding me to get a move on as we only had an hour before Mary Anne and Professor were picking us up to go up to Cold Spring. It was now 3:30.....
By the time this evening came around I was feeling much better, so the four of us (sorry, plus Neil) went into town and ate at the little french restaurant. The place was pretty busy but it was too hot so I kept having hot flushes, although I did for some reason insist on ordering the french onion soup which clearly wasn't very smart and clearly Mary Anne thought so to as she mentioned it....
It was fun, Professor spoke about the week he'd just spent with his family in Virginia, lots of family stuff, very cute, although not my cup of tea, I cannot imagine anything worse than spending a whole week with my immediate and extended family, oh no, don't think so.
After, we went home, watched a bit of tv then retired about 1:30, yeah I know I haven't really been up long today at all, still knackered though.
