Billy nae mates
Well, ive been in edinburgh since march last year, and i can honestly say i havent found anyone who i would like to have as a pal. Is it me? I think not. It took about 9 months before the people in the "local" shop in my street started a chinwag with me, and about the same for the local boozer to acknowledge the fact that my bloke and myself have been in many times. I guess it takes time and i should join a group or something or god help me, get a hobby. My man is a guitarist so i would have thought it would be easy peasy finding fellow guitar freaks to go boozing with, but maybe not huh? Dont think we have found "the place" where they all go. Hope to god there is a "place". I dont need a best buddy or a soul mate i have them in place thank you, but a pal to go for a pint and a bitch occasionally would be great.
Other than that i think leith is magic. My weegie pals are jealous of my new abode. I dont need to go on about the great improvement etc. Everyone Knows. Im very happy in my wee flat.
New job, new pals, and ill be grand!

I even get fed up on the internet. How is that possible!
ME Me ME me Me!
