I'm lonely (but I ain't that lonely yet)

Nick's in London. Everyone's gone. It's cold here. I rode a horse yesterday.
First time. Look like a natural, don't I? Of course I got the crazy horse of the bunch and he kept trying to run ahead of the pack, but those were actually the most fun parts of the ride. The thought crossed my mind not to stop him and see where he wanted to go (I wasn't in any hurry), but I don't have the guts to pull a stunt like that. I think it's funny I chose the words "everyone's gone". Not really. My heart is still back at Conn. If anything I've learned how lucky I was to have met such great people back home. Everyone on this blog is really grade A. Like this kid
We were together in Australia. The rumors are true. He got a cell phone. Plenty of nightlife. He's doing real well for himself over there too. "I think you'll be pleased at who says hi" he told me. I was. Life here continues with pockets of excitement and gorges of down time. I think I'm drying up. At frist I thought these staccatto sentances were interesting, but now I'm starting to think they're some sort of metaphore for my state of being. No matter how many times I see them, I can't get over how terrific a big furry sheep looks
Did you know that sheep start out tails? Long one's too, like a dogs, but they don't go up. Farmers cut them off cause they get poop all over them. Every now and then you can catch one that they missed, but no pictures exist. Not, at least, from my photo library. I met a french guy named Arnaud, and I can't tell if he's my soul mate, or a really bad influence. It's like one of those people who embodies a lot of qualities you have/could potentialy have, but seeing it in a another person makes you realize the dual nature of them. Anyone ever get that? No? Well I never had till I met Arnaud. I like being with him. it's an affirming experience. This is just some chill guy in Australia
Ok, I'm just about done. Everyone has a very long "books to read" list. If you get a chance, or just want to have a literary orgasm, read On The Road by Jack Kerouac. It's pretty inspirational
Boy, did I choose a bad day to stop sniffing glue :)

DREWSKI!!

I love your pictures! and post.
and as someone who always struggles with making new friends, you are absolutely right: our friends at Conn are definitely Grade A. A+.
Anyways, that's all, I should be doing work, or figuring out the academic craziness that comes with studying at the oldest university in europe, ha.
take care of yourself, drewski!! talk soon--a
