“Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends.”
Generally when I go home it's a whirlwind of a time trying to see each and every one of my friends. There's only so many lunches and dinners and funds to support those meetings to go around. Things are changing though. My best friends are leaving and moving onto bigger and better things. Ang moved to Colorado. Shannon moved to Cali. Crystal and Alex are in Florida. Kate is in Arizona. Jacob is in DC. Katie and Teri moved to Colorado. Ronnie moved to Nebraska and potentially Montana in May. Danny is moving to Colorado at the beginning of the year. Excuse me for the explicitness of this, but, what the FUCK?
First off, let's be serious. PISSED that Ang, Danny, Katie AND Teri are making it to Colorado before me. That's been my dream for the past couple of years and I still haven't made it happen. How rude. Second, I'm truly happy for every one of them. All of these moves are for such great opportunities for all of them. But let's get real- I'm so sad. Yes, I'm moving around the country too, but I don't like that everyone else got that idea in their head too. Knock it off kids. Think about your selfish friend, Nicky, who wants you to be able to fit in my pocket and come with me everywhere I go. With you getting your heads all filled with western dreams- It makes it difficult to scoop you all up in Chillicothe and slip you in my back pocket. NOT A FAN. You're making this difficult.
So, I guess what all of the above tells me is that I need to make it out west. Because 99% of the people that are moving/have moved are taking up residency out there. I guess the good news is that when/if I decide to take a massive road trip after I graduate I'll never have to worry about paying for a hotel room. Because I'm going to be shacking like nobody's business. And I know I'm missing people that have moved. I have friends/family in: Illinois Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, North Carolina, Texas, Florida, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Oregon, South Dakota, Minnesota, Tennessee, New Hampshire.. and I know I'm forgetting some.
I mean, come ON guys. At least stay in the same area/time zone. I don't even have a credit card with frequent flyer miles, but it's looking like I need to invest in one. Maybe then I won't be QUITE as frustrated. Also, all of you get skype. Kapeesh?
In other news- I'm headed to Tennessee tomorrow. I have an interview with St. Jude on Wednesday. No big deal. SIKE. I'm so excited I could pee.
