Listening To: Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me : The Cure

Well friends and fans, it’s official – the wonderful IG left Sydney on Sunday afternoon for her Big Meditteranian Adventure, and I’m missing her already :( For the next four weeks, I’m going to be without my muse, my best friend & lover, my heart & soul. Damn !

I got a bit teary-eyed at the airport after she’d stepped through the exit gate, but it didn’t really hit me until yesterday, when I was at home taking another sickie, and reading various old books. Great big gouts of tears as I got through Fahrenheit 451, then The Cyborg & The Sorcerors, and finally The Wizard & The War Machine … I’m thinking “what the f*ck is wrong with me ?” … and then I realise “aaaahh … sheeeeeiiit … she’s been gone one day, and she’s gonna be gone for another 4 weeks ! noooooo !”

I got to talk to her for a bit in the evening, when she finally arrived in Paris after 25 or so hours travel (good old Australia … arse-end of the world), which was lovely. Shame about the perceptible connection lag, which made the conversation difficult at times … but that’s ‘international roaming’ for you ! Naturally, I hope she has an awesome time ! She’s keeping a travel diary, and may even log in a few times to update her blog, so I’m sure we’re going to hear some interesting stories (already got an SMS saying “have plenty to put in blog”, and she’s mostly been in transit hehe) … but in the meantime I can definitely say I’m missing her :-/

Rock on, IG !
