Pondering...

I had lunch with Ian today, before I took him to the airport. Really, it kinda sucks. Not the lunch and the airport. It sucks that he won't be around for a while. A quick calculation....he's more than half way to Singapore by now. Sigh...

He told me something interesting when I asked him about his impressions of the anti-me. He said he has similar traits to those of the stranger I lived with and T, although he didn't meet T, unfortunately. The anti-me, he said, was exactly how he thought he'd be. I wonder what it is, what traits/looks/quirks, that intrigues me (because it's more intrigue than attraction).

What's the common thread? Is it that common thread that I've finally figured out, even though I can't articulate what it is, that's allowing me to continue the friendship with the anti-me, yet stay emotionally disconnected? One day, the answer might come. Till then, I ponder...
