Big Time

So much has happened since last Monday. I could sit down and type for hours. In a nutshell: lotsa FUN! I went home on Thursday. I went there to say hi and more importantly to get the car. I picked Laura up and drove to Milan. We started our weekend with a nice concert in Piacenza. The rain nearly ruined the gig but everything went fine in the end. L'aura (the singer) is really easy-going and seems to be pretty weird. She's another freak. This is her with me after the show. I really enjoyed it.

I drove all night and arrived near Trieste at about... well, late at night, it was already dawning... Sleeping in my car. Kinda weird. I felt spied on by the trees that were surrounding us. Anyway, Saturday was great. I'm gonna post some pictures here. We really had a fantastic time. I'm glad I met them all again. It'd been quite some time. They were all surprised I'm leaving. I hurt my knees really bad. They're sore. We played soccer on our knees on a pitch covered in soap and water. Elisa played along. She's a terrible player. I wish she didn't play in our team. But we even won the game! I'd never won anything before. Ever. I'm just fabulous I guess. Later we watched the gig. Some fUns and a couple of other bands, Bikini the cat and another one I can't remember the name of. Pretty good I'd say.

I stayed a little on my own. I needed a moment to myself. I made some new friends. I'm particularly fond of one. He's a soon-to-be architect from Sicily. Not only was he cute but he gave the impression he was... I don't know... flirting but very subtly, not in an exposed or "aggressive" way. I think he was being sympathetic. I now know he is not gay but still. It doesn't really matter His presence made me realize two things I had sort of neglected, disregarded lately. First that I'm a quite complicated person. I won't go into details on this one cos I'd only be tedious. Second, what I like in a guy - other than a nice set of pecs and big arms - is simplicity. I need someone un-complicated, reflective, thoughtful, responsible rather than serious, frank and transparent. Simplicity tends to embrace all these qualities together. It binds each one of them. I don't know if that guy really is all that, I doubt it, but that's how he came across to me. And I'd like to thank him. I just contacted him but I don't know how to put this. I don't want him to think I'm after him or scare him away. I hope I'll have the chance to talk to him a little about it.

We watched also Elisa singing. She was so sweet. I was not excited at all about it. She was just one of us, strumming on her guitar and sharing something very precious and intimate. Lovely.

I really wanted to take one last picture with her before I leave. The flash device didn't cooperate though. This snap is even worse than the one I took last year. Fxxx it. As I told her, I'll remember and think fondly of wherever I'll be, I don't need pictures of her, her voice is enough.

I just wanna add one last thing. I would like to thank all those guys for sharing that day. It really meant something.
