The couple across the street have asked to rent our house. They currently rent the bottom half of the house across the street.

J (him) & L (her) moved in sometime between when I ran away last summer and when got back but I didn't get the chance to introduce myself because I broke my leg in 3 places the day after I flew home.

She is stunning. Dark wavy hair, fair skin, big eyes, tall and lean. I hoped she'd be the sort of personality that might dominate mine. From a distance she appeared to be quite intimidating and although there have only ever been a couple of people who have ever been able to dominate me I find myself craving that sort of relationship.

So, pregnant with her second child (her first, M, a little girl, is the same age as E) I met L and we became friends.

L and J met in Uni and dated for a few months before she got pregnant so I suppose they have only been together for a couple of years. She's a very girly girl and says words like 'willy' where I'd say 'dick' or 'penis' when referring to E's tackle.

Unfortunately, L hasn't turned out to be the dominating personality I crave in my life. She's a pleasant, chatty girl I could have seen myself growing very fond of if I wasn't leaving though. I can imagine drunken nights dancing in Liverpool. Still though, she's made it clear she's been intimidated by me. WHERE WILL I FIND SOMEONE TO CONTROL AND MOULD ME!?

Anyway, tidbits of information, one of her breasts is bigger than the other. I didn't notice, she told me so. Well, I've noticed since but that's just cus she's breastfeeding so it's made it even more obvious! J has a very famous actors name. He's a postman and she's training to be a teacher. {shrug}

Now, the couple on the end of the street a few houses down who ALSO moved in the same time as L&J are fascinating indeed! They both work as mental health nurses (I am told) and in the past 4 years have had 4 children, the most recent being less than a month old. I've never met her (although she looks amazing for 4 kids in and one month on!) but I've met him. I was walking 2 of the 3 children (before 4 was born) and I was outside watching the litter of labradors we had destroy my front yard. On first impression I assumed he was gay. We chatted happily for ages as the kids played with the puppies (rather the puppies chewed the children). I was mortified when he told me that he only lived a few houses down and had for over a year!

I is very thin, dark hair, despite having 4 babies to look after, always looks great. How can he not be gay? I'd have made a hell of an effort to make a friendship there but unfortunately as supposed grownups, making friends isn't as easy as, "Wanna come play Nintendo at my house?"

I think I need to make friends with a single father with a child E's age when I go back to Toronto. It's got to be a guy cus women really just get on my wick when they whinge. Having a kid would give us life experiences in common. He has to be single so that his interfering g/f or wife can't disapprove of our friendship. Plus, I don't want him answering to anyone else but me Oh poo. If he wasn't a 'kept' husband than he'd have to be independently wealthy to be what I'm looking for. Or maybe he'll work from home and have a lot of time on his hands! Then we can spend our days wandering round the city with our kids, pretending its ours.

Brace yourself for leisure, relax and have a ball!
