OH MY GOD my Friday night buddy may be moving to Chicago.

[crim son]

He's been applying for jobs for months to get away from this wretched place and it looks like he may have found a position. Every single good friend I've ever made here has moved away eventually, while I remain year after year after year. I think there is a conspiracy among the gods to force me to stay with my husband. Jeepers H. Creepers, I really think so. The only other person I can stand to talk to around here has a new boyfriend and therefore I haven't seen her in four months. I have the most awful luck! But my friend... I would be happy for him. He's dying in Maine.

1. My dear crim son!

Well...hey!

Once your house is sold, and it will be, you know........

Go after him!

Chicago is one very cool town, ya know!



:bounce: :bounce:

[crim son]

4. I won't move my kids because they like it here.

And he and I don't have that kind of relationship. I merely depend on him for 90% of my emotional support. You guys do the rest.

[billyskank]

2. I'm sorry.

I mean, :bounce: for him, but :( for you. :hug:

[crim son]

5. I'll recover.

It is surprising how many times this has happened though :(

[Starbucks Anarchist]

3. I'm sorry.

:hug:

[crim son]

6. Sigh. I guess it means that you'll have to be my entertainment

on Friday nights. Too bad you can't hook up my wireless network in my new house but... whaddya gonna do? :shrug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

8. Oh, if I have to.

;)

[crim son]

10. Yes, I must insist.

Usually I wish I'd stayed in anyway. Going out is really just a statement that I am not owned by anybody. But Fate, or God, or Karma or whatever you want to call it, seems to have plans for me that involve nothing ever changing. On the one hand, if I stayed I'd have financial security... be set until I die. But I won't be in love with my housemate. I wonder, does it even matter? Quick, give me the answer. :P

Just ruminating. Hi, SA. :hi:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

11. I can't answer that.

:D

[crim son]

17. I didn't think so.

And the answer is probably different for everybody, anyway.

[SOteric]

7. He's leaving you for Hedges?

Man, that's rough. :pals: Courage dude, we'll help you through it.

[crim son]

9. I'm an idiot. For Hedges?

He probably is, but whaddya mean? :shrug:

[SOteric]

15. I mean..

For the DU poster sometimes known as WhoisAlHedges.

[crim son]

18. That's the name I thought you meant but I know nothing

about him/her. I need to do some research!

[RetroLounge]

13. Hedges is in Milwaukee

Up north here with me...

19. i think i meant him once..not very impressive..lol...

[mainegreen]

12. Maine does that. All my friends are long gone.

Closest one is 15 hours away. No jobs here so people leave. My best friend (other than my Best best friend: my wife) I've seen once in the last three years.

Maine does that.

[crim son]

20. It really is true.

Nothing I can do about it, though. I'm sorry you've had the experience but glad you have a good friend in your wife. That's important.

[SPKrazy]

14. Wow, Sorry

:hug:

:loveya: crimmie

[crim son]

21. Thanks, pawpicker.

I email this guy about ten times every day and he's seen me absolutely insane with grief... he's driven me away from my house when things were unbearable and I needed to shriek and cry, to spare my family; and he tells me every day that I am lovable, beautiful and desirable. He's the best of friends and so I should be happy if he moves to Chicago. It doesn't feel that way at the moment, however! I suck, sorta.

[SPKrazy]

23. Eh, We All Suck Sorta At Times

You're happy for him in that he's got an opportunity

you're sad for your loss of his presence and companionship

you also don't see a lot of options there for friends

but, nah, you don't suck, well not about this anyhow :evilgrin: I don't know about any other times. :rofl:

[crim son]

Other times

that's one of my favorite hobbies :evilgrin:

[SPKrazy]

25. Good To Know

jest sayin'

:evilgrin:

[crim son]

24. Dupe - delete.

My mind's a-wandering...

[madrchsod]

16. chicago is the best city in america

..save your money and come to chicago this summer for kos`s big show..i think the chicago area du`rs are going to have something going on..

[crim son]

22. I wish I could.

I've heard that it's a wonderful city but I've only been to O'Hare.

[idgiehkt]

26. yep, just ask Rabrrrrr

:rofl:

[The Traveler]

27. Bummer

Of course you're happy for him, but it sucks having a close bud move so far away.
