Dateline: Bonaire

Song:

I love Garbage. Shirley Manson is the BOMB.

another typical day in paradise. slept in, read, lounged around and dove - this time on the boat, we went to a great site called Karpata. the one bad thing was the rolling waves that were there. needless to say, hours later, i'm still feeling a bit woozy. theres also that phantom feeling that you're moving on the waves... ooog.

Need to write postcards tomorrow, and post them then too. the week has gone by quite fast. especially since its actually a much shorter trip than normally.

need to take some more pix too. not that i havent taken pix of most everything here before. but then again, this is the 16th visit i've made to this place...

i'm wondering what THE GIRL is doing right now. tis 1pm her time on friday, and i imagine she's working hard, as she usually does.
"cuz i'm still feeling lonely..." - Portishead - "Numb"
its time for me to lament being here without someone. which is really a lament for not having anyone in my life. Hence the thoughts on THE GIRL, who i really dont know what we are to each other, other than close friends i mean.

was thinking earlier about how nice it would have been to have GROCERY GIRL here cuz she knows dutch, and since this is a dutch colony, lots of dutch visitors come down. plus lots of the groceries are from holland, so some translational help would be good.

Also had thought how much SPAETZLEGIRL would have liked the diving, and also the eating - down here we love eating and its the #3 topic of conversation between people (#1-Dive stories, #2-"where you from?") plus she always likes new restaurants and dining experiences.

THE EX could tell you how she liked it here. if it wasnt the totally wrong thing, i woulda invited her. but that would be bad cuz her boy would not approve. ahhh, but we had a grand old time here, and i can only wish that i find someone to have as wonderful a time here.

gah, its amazing to see how my writing changes down here. i dunno if its the lack of distraction, or the different input device (newton vs powerbook). i realize that i also say more openly things i usually hold back...
