Forever is unstable

When you're married, you start to make friends as couples rather than knowing people on their own. I'm not sure how that happens, but it does. But it seems that one set of our couple friends is about to become a pair of un-coupled friends now, because we've just heard that they're separating and one is throwing the other out.

With this development, this means that the majority of the weddings that I've attended (excluding our own) have been for marriages that ended in divorce. So if you get married, careful of inviting me.

Or make sure that you pair up as Christian/Jewish, American/British, Mac/PC user, science/arts student, because paradoxically all that seems to work just wonderfully.

That's also true - there are many signs that constantly remind me that I'm getting older even though I still don't really feel like I should be out of university. I'm still perpetually confused when I realize that I'm living in America.

I've just applied for a subwarden job, and a number of lecturers and wardens and subwardens seem to think it's a good idea.

They've got me giving tutorials and problem classes and invigilating exams! I still feel I should be pulling all-nighters for those! I think it's appropriate to dress like this (http://twitpic.com/ecg6f) to get into work on a hot summer's day! My main method of trying to cycle around London is by using the stars for navigation! I'm living in London!

I'm with someone who was previously in a seven year relationship with someone who's now in his early thirties. Who's had a proper job, and is about to start studying at her fourth or fifth university! It's all rather scary, really.

(And hopefully that's my existential crisis for the day out of my system.

Change has been pretty rapid - and now that I think about it, you're younger than I am and doing things that I consider much older than I am (invigilating exams, you need to have grey hair and knitting needles for that...)

I'm afraid I can't offer any support for the photo. Indeed, never has the domain name "TwitPic" been more appropriate...! :)
