No sign of the Gray Faerie just yet. Very sad. Soon.

Went out to dinner last night with friends and realized just how much I miss the company of women. Not neccessarily in a romantic way, just friendly female company. I spend all my time with men. Not good.

Julie’s coming down soon. A week or so. That’ll be good. She’s my sister. There’s even a slight family resemblence. We got confused as brother/sister once, and it stuck.

She’ll be with her husband, which means we won’t get any time alone, and he’ll be looking at me weird. “This is that soul brother she keeps talking about” kind of looks. “The guy she can tell anything.” It’ll be awkward. It’s always been awkward. For me and her. Introducing Julie to any girl I’m romantically linked with has been uncomfortable. “No, we were never lovers, but we’ve been very close for almost… God, fifteen years now.” Try explaining that kind of relationship to anybody — let alone a lover — and you’ve got problems. Hurm.

Anyway, back to work. Got to finish up the Magax Saga.
