laugh with. About anything. About people, funny college stories and maybe even yourself. These need not be life long friends that you sit and speak to for hours together and have heart to hearts to confess all your ambitions and fears. They just need to be people you can hang out with, have fun, and not care.I made quite a few at work.
One of them being - Alastair (aka Allibean)
Alli to me is just someone I can go have a gazillion drinks with and be mental and not be judged because he doesn't judge. He doesn't care what people think and he says it straight out - he can be a very mean person.
I had a few friends meet him and they didn't quite get him. They thought he was obnoxiously rude. I however, love him to bits. I could be crying about something one minute and he will come along and give me a sensible talk to get me to stop because he doesn't believe in crying and then just make me laugh till my tummy hurts. In crazy Dubai, you need people like this. Real people. Anyway, he is moving back to the UK on Tuesday. To say I am sad would be an absolute understatement.
Allibean, if you are reading any of this - don't take it to your head.I don't mean any of this.
I just want to fill blog space. And I know you told Nicole and I not to, but after a couple of drinks, I will cry on Sunday night at your leaving drinks thing.
So there it is. It sucks when people leave. But what can you say? I left some awesome people in the states and I felt terrible about it. Cried a little. But when it came down to it, I figured that sometimes, actually most of the times, there is nothing you can do. So we need to thank God you met them to begin with, and then laugh at everything crazy you have done together.

Thank you bean for the funnest Chi trip ever. And yes, it was a total fun time yesterday evening bar the brief moments of drama. I will really miss having someone being that ridiculously mean to me all the time. Even when I'm nice.
