"don't leave canberra."

i push her playfully. no one has said that to me before.

some of my most delightful friends are from high school or uni but there are others i've met completely by chance. 

at a bed & breakfast in turku. a neighbour's halloween party or club in lund. a hostel in olso. a bus to finnish lapland.

or less exotically, at 'networking' events, a christmas in july lunch or reviewing an arts festival in canberra.

that immediate click.

how could you not believe in fate?
