Has anyone seen Jimmy? All six people that I know in Sacramento are out of town tonight (in SF) and Farah is at her job. So it’s me and this lost cat, Jimmy, who are feeling kind of off-course and lonely tonight, or if I am to be completely honest, I should say not just tonight. I really want to meet some people in Sacramento but it’s proven to be a not-so-easy task. I mean, where do you make friends when you’re done with school, married, and living in a new town? Seriously, how do we go about meeting cool people with similar interests? We’ld really like to meet people who like the things that we like: travel, language, photography, music, and just plain hanging out. And Farah would love to make some friends–Taiwanese, Japanese, American, whatever–just girls that she can hang with. She really needs to have that outlet because it’s gotta be really hard to be with me all of the time!
So what do we do? Do we place an ad in the local paper saying, “Hey, we want some friends,” or “Married couple looking for open-minded, cool people to kick it with on the weekends,” or what? I think that being surrounded by so many friends when we were in Japan–never a dull moment and always something to do–spoiled us in so many ways, because it’s really not that easy now, is it?! Ah!!! But you know, we have to be thankful for what we have and hopeful for what we have not. Right? There are many people who have gone out of there way to welcome us to Sacramento, and to them we truly are grateful. Thanks to Tyson and Dan, especially. You guys are great. It’s just that when you are the only people that I know here and you are all out of town, and the wife is working… it just kind of sucks!
So if you have any advice or comments for us, hey, we’re open to anything that you might have to say. And for now, it’s back to searching for Jimmy the lost cat! haha
