Edo has a new girlfriend

and apparently we’re doing this again. #

Edo has a new girlfriend. Again. I wrote exactly that on MSN and he immediately answered, “What do you mean AGAIN?”, which made me laugh because, Edo, it means again. There is no hidden philosophical interpretation. I don’t even know why his romantic life entertains me this much because technically it has absolutely nothing to do with me. He’s in Lecco, I’m in Milano, most of our friendship exists in MSN windows, ICQ messages and MP3 transfers that take approximately seventeen years because the connection decides to die at 96%, and yet every few months a new girl’s name somehow enters my life. Sometimes he tells me directly. Sometimes I discover it because his MSN nickname suddenly contains a heart and I have to ask whether somebody has stolen his account.

Apparently this girl likes techno, which he announced as though presenting excellent academic credentials. I asked, “Hardcore?” and he answered, “I’m working on it.” Poor girl. She thinks she has a boyfriend. She has actually enrolled in a training programme. Then he spent half an hour explaining why she’s different from the last one, and I spent half an hour pretending I wasn’t mentally placing bets on how long it would be before he appeared on MSN at one in the morning with `”Can I ask you something?”`

He sent me two tracks afterwards. One stopped downloading twice. This is friendship in 2005: emotional support interrupted by dial up.
