Barbary Lane: Ode to my Neighbour

For those of you familiar with "Tales of the City", where they all lived was called Barbary Lane.  Its this story of the neigbours who all became great friends and lived in an apartment block.  Well its happening to me, I have my own good friends and community developing around me.  For those of you who don't know Sydney, its one tough mother fucking city to break into.  It gives so much and takes so much.  I guess that anything that is bright and shiny can be treacherous and this city can take an enormous toll on the young and unsuspecting.  But anything worth doing usually takes effort and living in this city is defiantly worth doing. 
My Neighbour means so much to me.  Without her and South American crush’s help I wouldn’t have been able to dump userish former best friend.  And thanks to not spending so much time with him new people have been flooding into my life.  I can feel that I am building something new and good around me.  We have this great little thing going on between us where we go to breakfast, cook dinner, have keys to each others place, go drinking and to restaurants, watch gay porn together, and other DVD’s talk about intellectual stuff, help each other without online dating profiles, share grindr stories, walk the dogs, go swimming and sun baking together, gossip about people we are dating and laugh when things go wrong.  My new friends you have opened up my eyes to a new life and it is great.  I feel like I was in a coma before I meet you, my life is bright and sunny and warm now, so thank you, here's to the great times we have had and the even better ones ahead.
