But I have to be honest, I didn't even know they went on hiatus. I just kinda forgot about em. Whoops.
In other news, I am officially moved out of Auburn and am now at my extended stay in Montgomery. I will probably take some pics tomorrow to share with you all the depressiveness of staying here. I need a new place. And friends that are in the same city. This is going to sound really lame, but does anyone have any tips on meeting people in a new city?
And it's only been a couple hours, but it is really hitting me that this isn't a stay where I will be going back to Auburn soon, that this is legit. And even though I just got out of a relationship that I wish wouldn't have ended (and now that it did, we are kind of in the awkward stage... and I fucking hate it) it's actually my roommate that I am already missing.
Frisco was my best friend in high school and my constant roommate in college (we had a revolving door of other roommates). There were numerous days where we would plan our dinners around each other to be able to watch whatever show we were obsessed with at the time. (For those curious, shows that we completed, from first season to last: Scrubs, The Office, Arrested Development and Heroes).
Also, it was great having a friend not only down the street, but mere feet away. There were a ton of times that I would see something funny and just bust in his room to share it with him and go back to mine and repeat.
And now all those times are going to be shortened. I know we will still hang out, as we already have plans to "close out this chapter" by hanging out the day after we graduate.
But it's not going to be the same. Going from 5 times a night to *maybe* 5 times a month (on a good month) is going to suck.
And I don't like it.
And now I have to be prepared for jme to tell me I'm sounding like a girl...
It's just guy love between two guys!
ReplyDeleteChange is hard - especially moving. As for meeting people - hmm - are their people around your age at work?
As for your relationship - I don't know the details, but all I can say is that sometimes these things happen. I found a note recently - something I'd written to myself during a particularly bad time in my life. Thought about posting it as a blog, but had second thoughts because I was worried it would come off as too "emo" (btw hate that expression). But in light of your situation, maybe I will post it. In short, it's a list of things I wanted to say to a guy on the phone, and I wrote them down so I wouldn't forget.
You know you can always private message me on Facebook or email etc. Who needs "real" friends when I've "met" awesome people such as yourself through blogging :)
Um...I pretty much meet new people by being completely awesome. Which coincidentally- will help you out. But it DOES suck being all new and not knowing what's going on. So start with people you work with- anybody there that is mildly unretarded and can hold a semi-decent conversation? Friend them and go out sometime..and go from there. Basically I meet new people in strange places and bam- we're best friends. For awhile until I decide they suck. I'm fickle like that. But YAY for you because we've been friends for awhile.. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd it does suck moving away from pretty much everything that you know. But honestly? I think it's going to be a positive. Seriously- you are going to change a ton in the next few months and I think it'll be for the better. See? I can be super positive about some stuff. HAHA. :)
Moving and change sucks, I guess I should say something fabulous like don't look back, look forward, or change is good.
ReplyDeleteI guess on some level it could be if it forces you grow, leave your comfort zone and gain new experiences.
Please be kind to yourself and try to find the positive, it always seems hard for a while, adjusting and all. I am sure you will be able to find new friends in no time and keep up with your current ones too.
As far as meeting new people... I am not going to give you any advice. I was on a blind date a while ago and I stood up and start walking to the bathroom only to trip on my own boot lace and face plant next to the pool table. Now if you want advice on how to get rid of someone, I'm your girl.

It's almost like you guys broke up, but on good terms. HA. WOW, this is probably the cleanest break up you've ever had. Poor Matt. You are a girl. When does Derek come back? He will be your gump friend.
ReplyDeleteThink of this as a fabulous adventure. You may not know the outcome, but getting there is half the fun.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you don't say "Let's talk" "what are you thinking" and "Can you get me some tampons" I think you're safe for being called a girl.
ReplyDelete=)
I forgot about Yellowcard too, opps!
Believe me when I say this- it gets easier. I lived abroad and away from some friends and family. It was a continual struggle..but a good one. The kind of challenge every person should face...and consider yourself lucky that you are given the chance to. You might think things will be different with your friendship with Frisco because you won't see each other as often, but really it will just transform into a different kind of friendship. He definitely seems like a life-long friend. As for meeting people-- music is such a big part of your life it seems..take it from there and see what they have in the area! :)
