If we had a free VIP pass... oh, that would've been nothing short of awesome! Sounds like you got a good deal, even if Okkervil River was no longer there... :) My brother and I were considering spending the ridiculously high price (considering we wouldn’t be utilizing the purchase to its fullest) for the sole purpose of seeing Okkervil River, heh.

If you've been reading any of my entries lately, I think I'm writing the proverbial book on loneliness. I find myself really envious and annoyed at all the males that have these friends, these really good friends that have all these 'Stand by Me' memories and whatnot, that can maintain the friendships after high school, college, marriage even. Women are strange. It's hard to make friends without seeming strange or desperate, I think. And then if you do make a friend, it's easy come easy go. Who needs a drink?! ;-) Haha, my dear indeed I know how you feel. If you’ve been reading any of my entries lately, I think I’m writing the proverbial book on loneliness.

I remember one day realizing that my hours of walking were directly related: that while I maintained the same job, coordinates, and lover, I had found a new way of constantly moving, looking for places to hide. And then, I remember the day where I realized I was happy being in the same place, and that I loved it that much more. It was nice seeing you yesterday / the day before, and yes I do in fact owe you a long walk!:) I really like this entry, Alex, and just knowing you’re happy makes me happy:)

I'm sort of used to feeling that way even when I have a million friends, moving around has made everything seem temporal or like a vacation. It gets better after those weird lonely periods, just try to stay amused. Anyway I'm here for you even though I'm not there. That might be confusing. I'm sure that if you werent making sf bank and i werent in school in a different place, we would have hung out all the bloody time. dont worry our lives will intersect soon, and we can stare out coffee shop windows together or do something even more thrilling. love you.
