Synchronicity and pizza

Post 1

Jerms - a Brief flicker and then gone again.

Turns out I hadn't finished having a good weekend when I wrote yesterday's journal entry; after I finished writing it I signed off, signed out, walked out of the lab, walked out of uni, and saw Jacob and Anna across the street. Stopped to talk for a bit, and Anna went on home. I walked with Jacob because he was going my direction and wanted to visit some friends I was happy to go see...
On our meandering we came to the conclusion that at some time he and Anna should drop by my flat with pizza and Korean vodka, and have a random party-type-occurance sometime.

We ended up at Linda's place, and we started thinking about dinner. I had pizza on the brain and Linda said she had some vodka she wouldn't mind pulling out of the cupboard if we were going to have dinner at her place. It was certainly one of the nicer examples of synchronicity I've experienced...
So we went to get pizza, came back again and had dinner... Covenant was playing on the stereo, it was a nice atmosphere, a good vibe, and... I'm not even going to attempt to describe what happened next. I'm not entirely certain myself, but somehow Jacob Linda and I ended up jumping each other.
As far as random occurences go, it was a bit of a surprise to all concerned, but nobody was complaining. Even though, to quote myself from yesterday's post: "Males are just too darn lumpy." I'm so amused.
And I'm /so/ much more self-confident today. I'm not sure wether that has more to do with Jacob admitting "I've always wanted you" (heart-fluttering sigh!) or simply by the fact that I've now had sex with more people in the last four days than in the previous two years total.

So now I'm /completely/ convinced that moving to Hamilton was the right thing to do, and even more so by the e-mail I just received. Here, let me show you: (Yes significant details have been altered slightly)


ATTN: Jeremy Greenfield

I address this email to you in my capacity as head tenant and
leaseholder of Apartment X, X Marion Street, Wellington.

This email is to notify you that due to your insistance on retaining a
key your previous residence of Apartment X, X Marion St, Wellington
after your agreed upon tenancy there has expired, the locks to access
the residence are being changed, and five new keys are being cut (one
each for the four tenants and the landlord). In accordance with your
blatant refusal to return the key you are not entitled to, the cost of
the lock and key replacement will be billed to you.

If you to do not wish to continue upon this course of action, please
notify me as soon as possible by email, phone or fax (details included
below) of how and when you will be returning the aforementioned key. If
no notification is recieved by one week from the date of this email
(ie,
by Tuesday the 23rd of March 2004), it will be assumed that the key
will
not be forthcoming, and you will be billed as described above.

I understand that you have concerns about some of your belongings
being
removed from our residence after your departure from it, and we have
checked with people that have attended parties and so forth at the
residence to see if the goods can be located, but without success so
far. We will continue trying to locate them for you.

This, however, is no reason for you to retain a key to our residence.
We cannot watch your goods 24/7, and if you insist on leaving them in
the middle of our sitting room for 5 weeks and 2 days (30th Jan - 7th
March 2004) then we cannot, and will not, guarantee their safety.

Be aware that this email and any future correspondence may be
admissible in court.

I look forward to your reply.
