--Right. This is a bit weird, isn't it? Standing in the middle of nowhere, all alone and talking to myself. And the stars, I could be talking to them, as well.
I need to stop spending so much time with Sam. Madness isn't contagious or anything, but I've been starting to talk to myself more lately, and, well, it is Sam.
Anyway. Am I still asleep? That'd explain it. I've had a dream like this once before. Well, not exactly like this. But close to it.

It's nice, though, this place. Sort of pretty, even if it is a bit weird and I have no clue where I am. And it's quiet. That's nice, too, considering. It's a bit loud everywhere in Manchester, I think. Hard to hear yourself think, sometimes. I think that's life everywhere, though, unless you're out in the country. Maybe I should consider that. But it wouldn't be nearly as interesting.

Glad you're out of it, then.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

And you. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

No, me either. Then again, I don't usually have normal jobs. Or a job.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

You don't normally have a job?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Nah, not usually. I got an interview a...while back but according to Martha I failed it the moment I walked in.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Interviews aren't for everyone. Was Martha the hiring director?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Hm? Oh, no, Martha's a friend of mine. She got the job instead.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

What do you do, then, instead of work?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Uhm, saw a few friends, walked around a lot, worked on relying messages to the future and arranging all that, tried cooking a bit but Barbara didn't want her kitchen on fire...

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Not a good cook, then?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Not generally, no. I've been learning a bit though.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Breakfast is always good to practice on. Y'know, eggy bread and things. That's how I learned to cook at first.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I can make very good eggs in a basket.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Want to know a secret? I'm rubbish at that, actually. Never can manage to do it well.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[aww, she made him feel confident!] Really? It's one of the few things I can do. Not that anyone asks me to cook. They're a bit afraid of it.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Does everyone else just do the cooking for you? Or do you eat out a lot?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Bit of both, really. Mostly go out now that I've got access to London.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

London's full of different places. I think you can find a bit of everything there.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, definitely. I've been all over the place but I always wind up back in London eventually.

Is it your favorite, then?
