So, if anyone on twitter was wondering what I was spazzing about, basically what it boils down to is:

a) I get extremely co-dependant with my friends. Online and offline.
b) I had a bunch of friends in high school. This whittled down to three friends post high school. Neither college nor my first job supplimented this.
c) One of these best friends is still really into the drug scene. Which I used to be really into, but now I'm not. This makes it a lot harder to hang out with him. (oh Bert/Gerard, how strongly I empathise. JFC) This is a constant low-grade sadness, and one day he'll stop, like when he's thirty, and we can be close again.
d) Recently Kalaya, my only offline female friend, moved to Vancouver. I FREAKED OUT and got hysterical for a bit, then calmed down.
e) Last week my best of best friends got an online boyfriend in Fargo. Which is over the border, and about three hours away. So from Monday to Thursday he is visiting. I am PETRIFIED he will move there. The last time I went over to his apartment I just cried silently while he was doing the dishes because I CANNOT HANDLE him moving away. But he's the type of boy that falls hard into love.
f) So I was trying to figure out if I could get a cracked version of photoshop and talking to Kay online, and she was all make J or V get you a version. And I told her I hadn't seen J in a month and V was in the States. And then I started sobbing.
g) Because what it boils down to is I'm not the kind of person meant to have RL friends. I exist best in concentrated doses, where I go away when you say you need to go, where I can be ignored for five minutes when necessary. And normally I am fine with that. I've had great online friendships. Phil, Vere, Caty, Jasley, Cere, others I could name. But sometimes you need a hug. And my dad is old, and once he dies, with V in the States and Kay in Vancouver, and J busy with his life. Well, I won't have anyone to hug me.
h)It's not like I'm against making new friends. But the gay choir has membership costs, and there's no crafting circles I can find. And I'm not working so I can't buddy up to coworkers. I don't know how else to find people.
i) And then there's the part where I have two lesions on my brain and they don't why yet, and I can't help but wonder who would come to my funeral. My parents deserve better than an empty room.
j) So I put on my playlist of suicidally sad songs, like Adam's Song, and Circles, and There's Us and Who Knew, and cried until I ran dry. I don't feel "better" but I am numb, and that's good enough at this point.

Sorry for emoing all over you guys on twitter. Next time I will try to refrain from getting in your face.

Oh, darling. I understand a bit as I kinda freaked out earlier this year when my last remaining friend in Lyon said she'd been given a job in Paris. And I still have colleagues and friends close enough that I can drive over for the weekend, so I can imagine how worried you must be. I wish I lived closer, I'd definitely offer hugs. But don't apologize for freaking out on us (I wasn't on twitter so I missed it or I would have sent you so many massive hugs), it's also what online friends are here for. ALL THE HUGS, darling, ALL THE HUGS. <3

99% of the time I'm completely satisfied with having only online friends. Just sometimes it hits me wrong. *hugs*

Just a thought hun, if you're looking for more social stuff, have you tried meetup.com? there's loads of social groups advertised on there, it can be a great way to meet people, M found an engineers social group that problem solves together in the pub once a month. Might be worth a look?

That is a great website. I'd never heard of it. There are already half a dozen that look interesting to attend. Thank you so much! I spent some time last night trying to find gay groups, but I didn't know there was a website where you could look like that.

oh honey *hugs* emo over me on twitter whenever you want and need to, that's what friends are for.

i totally understand how you feel. i've never had many friends, but i preferred having a selected few that were close than too many i barely knew. i agree with bebunny, give that site a try :) and keep your eyes open. maybe it's stupid, but i firmly believe in the universe opening doors for us when we need them, so something just might pop up.

all the hugs, sweetie. love you lots!

I don't like change, is my problem, and all three of my close friends are all very \o/ WHOOOOOO CHANNNNNGE \o/ So, yeah, that makes things difficult sometimes.

I have a really hard time dealing with the change when I was in my middle 20's and all my friends moved away and got married. They were all happy and excited, but then we grew apart and stopped talking and it was sad. I like things to stay the same. I think that's just part of growing up, but I had a really difficult time with it.

No such thing as late hugs. All hugs are good hugs.
