10:33 p.m. - 2002-12-23 I forgot to tell you-- I met Lee yesterday. He came round and picked me up. It was strange, because I never knew he could drive last time we saw each other. He told me that he was earning £8.50 per hour working in the BP offices doing their financial databases up in London. I was really happy for him-- I was glad that he managed to get a decent job, because if I'm honest with you, I was really worried about him. Wondering if he would simply become unemployed and unmotivated to do anything. We drove around, chatting and listening to Limp Bizkit's album, then went for a drink and spoke some more. I told him all about University, my crush on an older woman, the romantic escapades I've been up to, which he seemed impressed by. He spoke of having a reunion with the old crowd in the next few weeks. He said how he had bumped into one of my other old friends, Matt, and spoke to him about it. Also Ray, another old friend of mine, is back from University tomorrow and we both wanted to see how he was going. After the drink we went back to mine so I could get Majora's Mask for him to borrow. We went back to his house, played multi-player GoldenEye on his 64, just like we did every night after school. It was good. Just like old times. I borrowed his South Park and Blair Witch 2 videos, and he drove me home. We've arranged to go and see Lord of the Rings after Christmas too. You know what? I've really missed him. He was my best friend and I guess... well, he still is. I nearly skipped work today so I could sleep. I know that's really lame, but I LOVE sleeping. I'm afraid this means I'm a bit depressed. Sometimes, there's nothing I'd rather do than get into bed and just sleep and sleep and sleep. When I'm asleep, I don't have to worry about my body... or what my brother thinks of me... or doing something wrong at work and getting my boss upset... or wondering what clothes are gonna look good on me. When I sleep, I can just be.
