They lived with me through the various outfit/style changes that represented me trying to work out where I fit in in The Big Smoke, picked me up when I fell on my face (both metaphorically and literally), and laughed and laughed and laughed with me at so many, many things.
I haven't seen them in years.
I can't wait to see them again.
Have you got Big Chill friends? How long since you've seen them?
Oh that's MARVELLOUS! There is no other word to describe it. Give that Setori a big smooch for me (!!) x
ReplyDeleteLook over there... FOUR more people and you're kerchinging a grand. I bet you've been waiting for those 4 people forEVER. I have 3 to go to 700 on Facebook and then I have 2 and then I have 3 and then I have 2... 697/698/697, bloody hell, drives me nuts. You KNOW I like things to be neat.
ReplyDeleteSigh. I'd like to say that I hadn't noticed ... would you believe me if I said I hadn't noticed?
DeleteI remember you when you first landed in the big smoke: shock of fab red hair, confident, witty and good with words. You haven't changed a bit!
ReplyDeleteAnd that is why I love you Jamie. x
DeleteLooking forward to it Al! Been too long. Jerimiah was a bullfrog!! JS

DeleteGive them a big smooch from me too. Especially those that I have pashed in the past :-) x
ReplyDeleteI've never even heard of big chill friends, and no, I don't have any.
ReplyDeleteThe Big Chill is one of my favourite films EVER!
ReplyDeleteWith the best soundtrack.
I have those friends. I don't see them very often but when we do, it's like we saw each other yesterday. Two weeks ago was the last get together.
Ah I'm reading this series and after hearing you talk about The Big Smoke I finally understand the author's naming of places. He's from Australia I believe.
ReplyDeleteHave fun on your weekend! Old friends can be the best.
Love, love, love big chill friends. I have those from high school and those from when I moved out of home at 19. 2 different groups, but i'm still in touch with both & when we get together the only thing that's changed is our tolerance for tequila! Oh, and the length of my skirt ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy big chill friends live in Vancouver and we haven't gathered since November of 2011. Making plans but everyone is so busy.
ReplyDeleteOne of my friends, a writing colleague, wants to move to Australia, I think Sydney or Melbourne. She can't find any jobs and it is hard to look or know when you're so far away anyways. Do you know of any potential jobs that can help her get over there and stay?

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME Big Chill Weekend! Lacked the death of a friend (fortunately), unless you count celebrating your 44yo friends wedding. Our sub plots were a little simpler, but we laughed a lot more. No celebrities (except you, Allison) jumping into cars. No issues with drugs, childlessness, impotence (in fact quite the opposite). Just endless hysterical stories of another time. I couldn't do it every week, but I cant wait to do it again.
