Reactions to being back in the UK...

Posted February 17, 2004 11:58 PM.

Well of course it's the jet-lag that makes tired and frustrated with the UK. It's the jet-lag that makes me want to be part of a larger and more productive internet community. It's the jet-lag that makes me begrudge the local weather. It's the jet-lag that makes me jealous of the extended social networks and friendships that my gay friends in the States appear to have. It's the jet-lag that makes me miss actually going outside and having fun for a change rather than beating myself up about not doing enough extra-curricular work activities. It's definitely the jet-lag that makes me angry about how much everything costs here. It's almost certainly the jet-lag that makes the rent on my flat the same as a beautiful three-bedroom house in Korea Town. It's got to be the jet-lag that makes me pine for a city with a beach or a bay or hills or features or views. Grr. I will be fine in a couple of days.
