How I did it: We've known each other for a few years, but moving overseas a number of times got in the way of anything happening. We managed to be in the same city for two months, finally. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I went on a quasi-date with someone I had known for around 2-3 years. It took a while because in that time, we each moved overseas - he has told me since that he didn't want to start anything before I went away for the year. We had about two months together in the same city, until he moved overseas once more. Strange situation, to say the least. Read how I did it…
How I did it: The quick and dirty summary? I was lucky enough to come to realise I was wasting my life, and myself, thinking so.

In celebration of its 80th anniversary in 2007, the Strand Bookstore asked customers to vote for their favourite books.
The Strand 80 is the list of the top 80 of those books.
The list can be found here: http://www.strandbooks.com/app/www/p/booklist/?listid=strand80

after 3 or 4 years of tiresome searching for frames i liked well enough to put on my face, moving overseas spurred me to make a better effort before i left. i bought a few boxes of contact lenses from the optometrist at the same time, but haven’t worn them since getting my glasses. :)
