THIS! Christine

and I can't get no....

Bummed yet happy at the same time. An online friend called for a girls night tonight, and I was so excited because I've been missing my online buds sooooooo much. I emailed back immediately saying I was in, that I may be expecting some company but I wasn't sure if they were showing up today or Monday. So there we are an hour before girls night, none of the others have shown (showed?) up yet... and my expected yet unexpected guest showed up, minus one spouse, but here all the same.

Now these friends are beloved and the last 'real' friends I had in this town (seriously, I don't have the energy to go out and invest emotionally in another set of friends who are just going to up and leave in a year or two). So when one half shows up I'm thrilled, and yet I keep looking longingly at my puter, knowing that, but a click away is another social event happening without me. wah wah wah!

I signed online as soon as real friend left but alas the online party was already over. How bummed I am. And apparently channelling Yoda.

sigh.

So here's to all the friends we have. All the ones we wish we could talk to right now. If you can, call them, or IM them, let them know how special they are to you.
