I'll be there for you cuz you're there for me too

Reconnecting with friends is my oasis in the desert.

I've been able to see some people from home who have proved once again that there are some good things that come out of the Suburbs. I've even seen some people I haven't hung out with in years since being back, so for that reason, it's really nice to be living in the Conc. In fact, in a few days I am taking a little trip up to Maine with Nikki which should be very fun.

Since being home, I've ventured into Boston a few times and seen the people that I love. Of course there are Trebs. While I find it increasingly odd to watch them create and move on without me, it is a comfort to know that I still relate to them and they, in tern, don't make me feel like an outsider. Staying in the plush suite at Hotel 318, the most happening place around, as well as other friends' apartments, I've been reminded why I loved that group so much. I've also seen graduated Trebs, mostly Christine, which helps with this awkward transition period.

I've been able to see other people too while voyaging into Beantown. Just last night, for example, I reunited with some ENG/COM whom I haven't talked to since graduation; despite my unemployed existence, it gives me a calming feeling to know people are making it out there and it isn't an impossible goal. And then there are my gays. I love those bitches forever and they never cease to entertain me. Of course, all these reunions call for alcohol and partying, and because of my feeling of normal restraint, I go crazy when let out of the house, so I make bad life choices (see my all day hangover).

To my bitches in NYC! I've gone abroad a lot but for some reason it's my Sydney group that I really stuck with. Going to New York, whether for pleasure or for interviewing, is always a fun time because I get to catch up on their lives, eat out at fabulous restaurants, and be in the city that I've loved since forever.

While these times are great, I miss some people terribly. There are my West Coasters: Gwen, Eric, Beebs, and of course my old roomie Joey G. It's funny to think about because I could be there living my Post-Graduation dream but instead I had to put that on hold. I've talked to some overseas people, like Jim Perry (see...I gave YOU a shout out) and the cousin, to catch up on their fabulous lives abroad. And then there are the hundreds of people who are just scattered all over the country who I miss terribly and wish I could see them everyday.

Basically, what this all boils down to is my friends really are my sanity and my life savers, I love you all!

Till next time.
