Sunny days and random musings

It's a really sunny day today, and I managed to break free from the prison of my office (not really that bad, but I get so busy I tend to forget to even pee) and take a walk in the park with a friend from work. She and I talked about life, love, politics, weather, work. It was a lovely conversation, and much needed.

Slowly, I've been making friends here in London. Right now I have a lovely girl at work who's really down to earth and very genuine, and just a great buddy. I've never had girlfriends, so she's a nice change from the usual list of men that I've known through the years (men are just easier to be friends with). She's not a backstabber, no agenda, and I feel totally myself with her.

I also have a girl that I met in New York, who's a Brit, and she lives in Notting Hill, so last night I saw her for a glass of wine and snacks at her place/studio. She's a photographer, and how I met her was that I wanted to do a series of black and white nude photos of myself last year, and she's extremely talented at what she does, so she'll do them for me at some point this year. So that's how we met and got to chatting, and she's another really lovely girl, very funny and very cool. Why the sudden burst of exhibitionism you ask? Well, though I am getting older and I do have a few scars, I'm proud of the strong, beautiful body I have. I'd like to get them done before we have kids at some point in the near future. It would just be a nice little splurge for me, a present to myself after quitting smoking cold turkey and not even taking a drag of a cigarette for 6 months. The mister would probably like it as well, which is a nice bonus.

Anyway, life is rather good. I love my new job (though the hours are long), I'm healthy, and I feel like I'm settling down and not having to impress people all the time.

It feels good to be content. And to like myself. And, yeah, feel a bit sexy. *blush*
