You Belong in RomeYou're a big city girl with a small town heart, which is why you're attracted to the romance of Rome. Strolling down picture perfect streets, cappuccino in hand; and gorgeous Italian men - could life get any better? | ![]() |
Thanks to A L for the link. It's uncanny - she's matched with the city from which she just returned; and I got Rome, capital of the country where I'd buy my second house, if I had money to buy a second house.
Incidentally, DSD, A L and I met for lunch today. I don't believe I've met another female who likes and collects toys so it was a thrill discussing LOTR figures with AL, and learning that my Eowyn figure might be worth a bit more than I imagined. Stikfas, Darth Tater were other popular topics.
After that it was an editorial meeting with the old boss and DSD's new colleague. Discussing schedules and editorial work made me feel as if I'd never left the field. The de-ja-vu of it all threw me. Ann Arbor seemed very, very far away (which, of course, it is), a lifetime ago, perhaps. It's almost as if I left the other me behind in Michigan; and the person that's here in Singapore has simply awakened from a two-year sleep and been summoned straight to work.

"You Belong in London
A little old fashioned, and a little modern.
A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock.
A unique woman like you needs a city that offers everything.
No wonder you and London will get along so well."
although... the reason why i didn't go to Uni there - rejecting UCL twice even if i should have probably done my first degree there - was because i couldn't see myself living in the city! but London is good fun for a short visit.

i have a small idea of what you mean when you say you left the other you behind in Michigan. i feel as if i've fallen back into old routines...
