Today has been a strange day for memories. I got a bus into town earlier from outside my local comic shop. I’d not got that bus before and it took me into town along the embankment. It was a part of town I hadn’t been in for a long time. In fact the last time I had been there, I had walked to some sci-fi event in Pages with my friend Matt a few weeks before he passed away last year. I have some good memories of the time I spent with him at those nights out and indeed many other times. Going along the same way we had walked on a number of occasions brought back some of them. I miss Matt. He was a good friend and always on for a laugh. <\/p>\n
I knew him before I moved to London, we had some mutual friends. He was pretty much the only person outside of work who I knew. I’m always going to be grateful that I knew him.<\/p>\n
On another memory, I just found some photos from a night out in Canada about two and a half years ago. Myself and a group of friends went to Toronto (and do enjoy this laugh) for a sci-fi convention. Well, that was really the excuse it got about 30 friends to Toronto at the same time from all over the world. Some had never met, it was a big internet crowd. Some were friends who I knew from Dublin, some from London, some from Germany, one from Russia and the rest from all over the US and Canada.<\/p>\n
Fuck did we have a good time. It was a great couple of weeks and I really loved Toronto. Someday I’m gonna go back there. I was just talking a few moments ago to a friend on im. I’ve known her oh must be four year now and I like her a lot. She is a really cool person. We met for the one and only time in Toronto that time. We missed each other in London a couple of years ago because I was away on work. That wasn’t good. I shouldn’t have agreed to those dates but I did.<\/p>\n
I’m glad we met, I’m so glad at the number of people I did meet over those couple of weeks. I’m not in touch with as many of them as I use to be. I’m glad I knew them though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
