So... I've been away

Monday 23 June 2008

I've been gone for a bit. Don't get me wrong, I've been here and everything I just haven't been here. As such.

Some stuff happened. I went away with my friends from high school, one final hurrah before one of us weds. I spent a day teaching in a school and I have never been happier about my future. I spoke to the ex Mr TheOdd, for two hours, for the first time in a year and a half. I messed things up severely with a guy I've known for years, who crossed a line with me that we can't erase. A guy with a girlfriend. A guy I've come to realise that I can't live without. A guy who knows me so well it frightens me, who psychoanalyses me so accurately it makes me hiss and spit, a guy who loves me despite all that. A guy who got over it and wouldn't accept me doing anything other than the same. A guy that I've spoken with more in the last week than in the entire of our three year friendship. A guy who despite me spending most of our time together being downright cruel to him, never gave up on me. A guy who handled my freak out, my weirdness and yet still adores me. A guy who I'm now proud to call my best friend.

So I'm back.

I missed you guys.

Welcome back! You were missed.

She LIVES!

Welcome back. Your update was rather... err... cryptic, but glad to see you're OK. The Pajibans were a mite worried.

Alex the Odd said...

GWCH: Thanks :) Glad to be here

TK: Hmmm yes, maybe posting my comeback would have been better without the bottle of wine consumed...

Also: they were? Aw bless. I should probably go on over there and prove my alive status...

Oh, you were gone? Hadn't noticed.

Nope, not at all.

Nope, nosirree, nuh-uh. Did not shed one single tear. Or twelve. Thousand.

Nice to see you back though. I suppose I could relight that candle in the shrine again.

Hey Alex! Good to see that no matter what life dishes out, you bounce back. Vermillion's been all whiney since you've been gone.

And I don't know what your situation is now with your friend, but remember that life has a way of working out. And friendship is precious. That's all.

We missed you!
