Get in touch with an old friend

I went to the Natural History Museum with her last week. I think she really enjoyed it, and halfway through randomly went on a ramble about how much she likes me (I, of course, rambled right back about her much I like HER). I think that’s a good sign.

We’ve discovered a few more interests that we share, and I might be seeing her this Sunday as well, and I’ll attempt to meet up with her the week or so after. Eventually I’d like to get to the stage of friendship with her when I can just call her up for no reason and that won’t be unusual; that goal seems much more realistic now.

So I left a message on her answer machine. Yay.

At my birthday party, and got her number.

She is exceptionally busy, though. I don’t know if she’s going to have time for me. And my normal social fears make everything worse, as well.

I think I might invite her to come to the natural history museum soon-ish (I keep on procrastinating that). I really want to see the exhibition of wildlife photography they’ve got up at the moment, y’see.

But I’m really scared of proposing that, though it is the kind of intellectual thing she’d be up for. Which is a slight issue.

Not this week, but next week I might call her. We’ll see.

She should be coming to my birthday party on Saturday. =)

I’ll try and establish further contacts then. See if I can turn her into the “hey, I’m bored, what’re you doing today?” type friend again.
