Last night:
Manchester's bifest last night was excellent. Already there are plans for re-incarnations 3 and 4 in Brighton and London.

nearly_everyone was there - I met loads of old friends, as I hoped I would, and many many new people (hello lord_semjaza). I also got a chance to actually speaking in depth with some of the folk I'd met before but only brielfy spoken with. Most surprising was seeing an old uni friend. Heh. Thinking about it, I remember an amusing anecdote. A group of us from rag were playing drinking games, and I Have Never was in progress. Someone asked a stereotypically girl-orientated question and I had to drink, outing myself. Luckily only one person noticed, and it happened to be E. who came along last night. We've vowed to stay in contact.

Ramblings:
It's such a shame that I'll be leaving Manchester, but I'm mainly doing it for career reasions. About the move - it's not the to-London bit I mind so much. It's more the from-Manchester element. I've spent somewhere in the region of a third of my life here, and the entirety of my adult-years (whatever that means). This city has shaped me, and it feels like I'll be leaving a part of me behind.


I'm spending today, in and amongst packing, downloading music from my early years in Manchester. I'm on a huge nostalgia trip.

Hmm. I've just realised. It's my bro's birthday today. I should call him.
