today i have proof...
so i live in sydney's north shore! have pretty much done ever since i moved to sydney in 1991 - and i love it! and for any of you from sydney you will know of the fierce rivalry that exists between the various 'locations' all claiming that they live in gods country!
now i'm not a beach person - well, if i am, i'm an atypical beach person - i don't go there to tan! or lie around for hours on end in a bikini (shit if i looked good in a bikini then i might consider it...but those days, sadly, seem long gone!) - i go because i like the scenery, i love the water and i can sit there for hours on end just gazing at the ocean which calms me, or i can watch the people go by and just reflect on what's going on in my life...
or sometimes, i get lucky enough to go there with someone else, and just hang out with them...i forgot that when you are 'with' someone else, everything else can kind of fade into the background - like if i was there by myself (and don't get me wrong, i'm quite happy to go to the beach on my own and watch the world go by) i would have seen a general manager from work and said hi to her before she saw me and called out my name....
so this afternoon was like that, i was totally and utterly absorbed in being with him (and this isn't someone i've known for long and it wasn't anything other than a lovely afternoon at the beach) but it was nice and i guess i'd kinda forgotten how nice it is to have someone to hang out with...
anyway, back to why i'm right! so this person i was with today lives south of the city and usually frequents coogee beach...today was his first time at manly and he expressed his surprise at how lovely it was - then (and i'm loving this bit) he said 'this is way nicer than coogee'...
so you see, it's true. north beats east any day...i WAS right!
