A Good Night Message

Good Evening.

I've just come back from the cinema with Shanna. Erin was supposed to come too but she never showed up. I don't know, I left when Shanna said to so you know, I'm keeping out of it as best I can. Anyways, we finally went and saw Memoirs of a Geisha. It was really good. Yes, I cried at the end of it, but I cry in most movies if I can relate to them on any level. I'm starting to see a pattern emerge in relation to the movies we go and see. They've all got some form of romance theme in them and the happy couple always end up together in the end. Me being a story teller and all have great faith in that fact.

I can remember asking Eri if she thought the movie was correct, you know how sometimes when they make a movie based on reality, it can often get a little over the top or convey the wrong information. Eri said as far as she knew, it looked very realistic and again from what she knew it was all quite correct. Which is good, I think if you are going to make a movie or tell a story of this type, it should be true and correct.

To a degree that's why I keep a lot of my stories to myself. Because at the time they were written, they were very incorrect and from a naive point of view. Indeed sometimes they still are, which is why now days I try to write from experience, try to use emotion I may have felt to have a better understanding.

I've attached another short story to this e-mail. This particular piece is complete and it probably isn't all that correct either. If I remember rightly I wrote it back in year ten so that would be hmmm...going on nearly six years ago. Maybe five. I can't quite remember!! Its called Misinterpreting Lily and don't ask me where the idea came from it just did!!

How is work going? Or wait, how did it go? Could be either really!!

Back to work tomorrow. I don't know if I should be excited about that or not. I have another one of those meetings with Doreen this month...um the 25th I think it is. I am a little scared, but not scared. Doesn't make sense, I know. Sometimes nothing ever does!! Janet has gone down to Goring for a few days. Maria Plaza is sick and Sally is annoyed because they've advertised the Office Manager position and not told her. Give her half a chance and she'll commit murder. Which I can understand. Sort of.

Well, I am off to bed, I'm feeling a little tired. I find if I go out walking I get a bit worn out still. So while I am feeling a lot better, I know I've still got a little more recovery to go. But indeed it's getting better. At least physically. Emotionally I still am suffering, but I am told this is something that will ease over time.

Okay, Good night.
