out of the blue - roxy music

She messaged me a couple of times during the day yesterday and each time, i slammed one right back by return-of-text.

sometimes, someone just drops out of the sky into your life - and it's as if you've known them all your life without noticing them before.

sometimes, you can meet someone who just "fits". someone who gets you - and who you get right back.

at work, even the imbeciles are bugging me less than usual. it turns out She, too, works beside cretins, so we share our favorite idiot stories - did i mention that She rang me late last night and we talked for over an hour?

bits of this and that. work/exes/music/tv/films/books... a mad rush of fragments, the most memorable bits of two lives bouncing off each other. agreeing about so much - but from totally different directions. and laughter. shitloads of laughter.

i came off the phone and lay back on my bed. a sudden flash of wanting-a-fag. i stopped years ago, hadn't even thought about smoking in christ knows how long.

i let my mind drift. caught myself thinking about what it would be like to belong to someone like that - to Her.

you know how you can catch yourself daydreaming and be shocked at what you're thinking about? especially when the subject of the fantasy's so far from where you are?

that's what this was like.
