day fifty-eight: ah, coming into my own.

over the last couple of weeks, I've been settling into a feeling that, though there are times that I still don't understand things about london, british society, or why coffee shops are not open past five pm, I am beginning to feel more and more that I have some place in this city. this process seems to be a bit more accelerated than my last transition (ie when chicago kicked my butt for a couple of months in 2002), perhaps because of being in school. whatever it is, it's nice to meet new people and enlargen my circle of friends, to be in the world of geekdom again (even if there are times when I feel like I'd rather be a crafster than persue this academic nonesense), and to feel that I can adapt and survive. mind you, I realize that I live in london, which isn't the furthest stretch from what I find familiar, but still, it's nice to make that realization, nevertheless.

hope that this finds you all stretching on some level. love to all.
