so, i’m a bit depressed.

after a blissful summer living with my SO and a wonderful holiday together he finally had to go back to college.

i’ve got another 2 weeks stuck at home until my term starts.

we probably won’t see each other for at least 6 weeks, maybe not til xmas.

this is not going to be easy.

we did it last year, but we had only known each other a little back then, and he was my boyfriend.

now, he’s the man i want to spend the rest of my life with.

i’m coping at the moment by reading until i fall asleep, baking food i won’t eat and generally trying to keep busy and failing miserably.

so, anyone got better ideas?

Surfing the boards or playing a nice, cathartic game (25 straight meph/shenk/pindle/cows magicfind runs, anyone?) always works/ed for me…

The love of my life is in Boston, pursuing her PhD. She’ll be there 3-5 years. I miss her terribly, and it’s eating me up. I want to move to the east coast to be near her. But that will take some time and serious scratch.

I can’t go out there and live with her. She’s doing the full-time student thing, and we’re both kind of particular about our living arrangements. And I don’t want to distract her from her studies. But I want to be able to see her on the weekends, and anytime she feels she needs me.

But right now, I’m here in Los Angeles, dying a slow death.

I get a small reprieve at the end of the week. I’m flying to see her for the weekend. yay!
