Please don't die!

I have been privileged to meet lots (or should I now say 'loads') of interesting people, some of them in the most random ways. On my first day in London, someone came to fix the dishwasher at my cousin's place so I was supervising them. Somehow the conversation steered towards me trying to give him reasons why he should want to live. He was a big British man probably in his 60s and was still hung up about how his mother abandoned him and left him in front of someones doorstep when he was 2 weeks old. I had had about 4 hours sleep in the last two days but sat cross-legged on the floor in an in-depth intense conversation with him. He's now managed to track down his mother but she went psycho when he tried to meet up with her. He refuses to marry because he thinks all women are the devil but I think its stemmed from how his mother abandoned him. He doesn't want to be disappointed so thats why he wont marry/have kids etc but I told him he can't live his life in fear. Better to have loved than never love at all right? He was a lovely man and I really hope he doesn't commit suicide or anything.

PS. Here are some pics from Hedges and Butler. Monica's friend, Christel, messaged me on myspace saying she's in London too and invited me to an underground indie club to see her friend's band so I invited Michelle along. It was hidden in an alley and was really cool as the booths are like dungeon cells with books in them! I met her friends who are in a band and are shoe designers, journalists, and other arty types that live in East London. East London is where all the creative people live.
