I am uncertain of everything right now except my job(s). I have 3 great places of employment and 3 wonderful groups of people in Philadelphia....but, I'm lonely.
Blame the cold weather, blame the fact that I've been working a lot and haven't seen anyone in weeks or blame the simple fact that I still lack someone to just call up at a moment's notice and hang out doing nothing. There have been a few instances where I thought I was building such relationships with people here but so far they all seem to fade out after a few good times. Maybe I'm the one with the problem. Maybe I'm the one inhibiting the growth of more than surface level friendships. I thought I was good at this whole making friends thing but I think I was wrong. I'm just good at making acquaintances, anything beyond that I've yet to develop here and it's getting, well like I said, lonely.
Beth moves here in about three weeks and I can't wait. I need her familiar face, she'll always be my same sex soulmate.

It's not you. It's them, it's society, and maybe it's the fact that we got used to forming those sorts of relationships (where you don't need a reason to hang out) from growing up in a town where you knew everyone and "doing nothing" was okay because there weren't a lot of flashing things to do. Hang in there mck, I know it sucks, but at least know that you're not the only one who misses that relationship in his/her life.
P.S. I've been enjoying the updates of life in a big city, the world of writing for pay, and the like. Keep up the cyber connection chica! (In case you haven't figured out who this is yet, think red hair, cross country, flamingos, tie-dye, underwear thievery, and of course Steak 'n Shake :-) I had to keep some anonymity b/c of my work, but I'm guessing you've figured it out by now. :-P
we'll be there in about a year and a half! then both of us can stop being lonely and missing having someone to call up at a moment's notice to hang out with :)
i think it's something about the holidays and being so close to going "home", but i am feeling the loneliness more than ever... ugh!
