If you're all alone bring over your bones.

I often relate situations I'm in to scenes in films and today I feel like Zach Braff (or Andrew Largeman) in Garden State when he's sitting on the couch, watching his old school friends at a party, on ecstasy. Lookin' pretty alone and confused.

The architecture in this film reminds me of the train ride between the airport and coming into New York. I remember wanting to jump out and take a photo of the house rooftops in Autumn.

It's weird how a place in a different hemisphere to my friends and family feels more like home. Or a place I feel more comfortable. It's quite nice to be anonymous. The way the character's in Garden State talk about 'creating a home', no matter where you are keeps playing on my mind. Different people have been talking to me about their concepts of home over the last couple of days and I really do think feeling at home has little to do with where you are, or even who you're with. It's an individual feeling.

You could be alone, somewhere you've never been before. I remember sitting in Cafe Orchard 88 in New York last year, feeling content realising that nobody knew me and other than the route to my hostel around the corner, I didn't really know where on earth I was.

That being said, the friends that I am surrounded with at the moment are way more than I deserve. I owe way more bear hugs than I can give out in this lifetime.

I'm considerably far away from my bestfriend at the moment. Even with the distance between us, I feel so close to her. She wrote some words that I can only assume were about me today and I cannot be more grateful that someone thinks of me like that.

I wish that everyone had a heart like hers. Not to mention a face like hers, heh heh. Living in the same city as her at the end of the year will be magical, but I know that we're strong enough that we don't need to live in the same town to be the way we are.

On an unrelated note:
a. I can't stop listening to The Magnetic Fields. They sum how I feel all too well. Particularly "I Don't Want to Get Over You." It's stupid how much I want to see the good in people. I can't cull people easily.
b. I have never watched so much Seinfeld as I have over the last two days. Elaine Benes is a fashion icon.
