tales from an ordinary world

2002-09-20

long time no see, an ex-co-worker i never knew quite enough, but like enough to catch up with when the others do so. the bar's too loud, the people are wrong - to borrow his description of the croft institute the other night, it's full of Beautiful People. i'm just not dressed for this, and even if i was i wouldn't pass for it. i'm drinking the wrong kind of drink, too. shame on me. but over the noise, conversation drifts between the four of us. eventually one leaves, as another joins. we continue for a while, then wander out into the night, asking ourselves why we didn't just sit outside.
