Ugh, now I have a tummy ache as well as the cold symptoms. I’m a mess!

I guess so, I’m still really excited about it, I think you’ll like it. Woo! Remind me to bring you some trans am this weekend. Do you have shellac as well? Think I’ve got some somewhere…
>her really clsoe friends are still her edinburgh ones or whatever...or >sarah, I guess, who's in new york.
I guess so, but for a long time my best friends were far away, and I’ve only been making good friends here for the last year or so.
>We did, but we didn't tell anyone else, did we?
True. Ok, we’ll sort it out.
>Um...not exactly, no. She had excuses and/or explanations for it all. >Which isn't the same as agreeing with me, is it?
No. and not the same as listening, rather than hearing, either. If she’s rationalizing her behavior in her head while you’re talking, that means she can’t really be listening.

That’s pretty key. It wasn’t like you just started acting weird one day and she responded. It is obviously a whole system of things.
>What, that I've been behaving that way? Or that she wouldn't like that? Or both?
That those are the problems she sees.

which is kind of good, because then you won’t feel like you’re bottling stuff up, which is bad.

yep. Think it over.

Bleh, I don’t really have enough time to get into it properly. Maybe we can go off into a corner at the cheese or something. But the first thing that popped into my head when I read your email was that it all sounded a bit like my relationship with todd. (I don’t talk about him much anymore, don’t know if you remember that story. He’s the one I dated in Chicago that really bruised my heart). The whole arguing about really fundamental things, and then thinking that we’re all fine and good, and the thing is that the whole thing wasn’t solid enough to last all the problems…
>Nah, it's a good thing, I'm REALLY bored.
Cool, well write back, but I won’t get it till tonight/tomorrow. But it’ll be good to hear more.
>yeah, just realised that this afternoon - but tom's already lugged >loads of his stuff up there now. Gah.
Ah, you’ve got the biggest room, and you don’t have to move stuff and it’s all good…

Hi kate,
sorry i haven't been in touch, slack i guess.
Life's ok. Not much to report. Band is doing really well. I'm struggling for
motivation at the moment haven't written much, we have the album demo'd but
need to get together 100k to put it all together to have a sporting chance
at being the next 'big thing' (apparently). But there are other options
we're looking into at mo. Signing to a major would be nice. Triple j are
playing highwire a bit more now, which is good. We're off to Sydney on the
6th March to support Epicure at the Hopetoun Hotel. Flying down so it will
be a 'rockstar for a day' experience, i guess.
It's not likely the album will be out till next year :( But that's cool i
guess. Our management ( yes we have management) are really good, they want
to get us down to Syd and Melb once a month and the coasts also. So lots of
travel this autumn/winter. I'd like to send Luke and Dan to the UK with our
demo and Fuck australia right off. (ala jet/ sleepy jackson style). I'll
send you a copy if you give me your details.
well that's my brain dump for this morning i'm sure there are heaps of
things to tell but the day after band practice usually comes with low brain
activity for me, plus i have a cold i think, doh......
anyways i will be in touch soon. come along and see us play at the
Troubadour on the 22nd if you like. It would be good to see you.
peace out
sime
