Railway rendezvous

Was at the beaten-down old railway with Fuz + D last nite.
It was kinda record-making, cos we sat, at the same spot, for 5 hours... just talking.
Talking & talking... so refreshing.
All we had were... Sprite & tea + cigarettes (D), curry puff + iced lemon tea (F) and strawberry milk (me).
It was so refreshing... to just meet your friends on the spur.
These days, who does this?
No advance appointments -- F sms-ed me at 9pm and an hour later, all 3 of us were sitting there. Till 4am.
Did nothing but talked and talked and talked.
Our lives, work, obsessions, other people, significant others....

Reminds me of a line in that movie Reality Bites:
"All we need is cigarettes, 5 bucks and a friend."

How did life get so complicated?

I am so tired of people who make themselves out to be so busy/tired etc etc.
Hello, you talking about being tired/busy to a working mum here??!!
Or who needs to make a date like 3 weeks in advance to meet.
Are we really that busy?
Or just disinterested? Plain insincere?
Or both?
