7.5 hours down.
8 hours up.
It is supposed to be around 5 each way...
In any case, I suppose I could go into a recounting of the last 4 days and my adventures within, but I'm kind of tired, and am sure that I'd forget something, and I don't think that anyone would actually be interested in my story.
As such, I present you with the following which nobody should be interested in:
When I am alone, I feel lonely.
Well, that seems obvious, now doesnt it?
The words have the same root, one is (loosely) defined as the state of being the other, and they mean almost the same thing.
But, they don't mean the same thing.
Nor would I be so bold as to say that EVERYTIME I am alone, I feel lonely.
For example, when I am sitting at school between classes listening to my music or reading or just plain killing time, I don't feel lonely. Yes, I am alone, but I don't feel lonely.
When I am sitting at home alone watching tv, I am alone, and though sometimes being home alone is lonely, I wouldnt say that it is ALWAYS lonely.
Conversely, there are many times when I am in fact not alone at all, but still feel lonely.
I ought to, at this point, say that I refer to "lonely" in this case meaning not my being without friends, but rather my being without someone to whom I am considered more than a friend.
I suppose I feel the most "lonely" when I am cold.
Not like walking around outside and it being windy cold, but more laying in my bed or sitting on the couch alone (regardless of blankets/sheets/etc.) and still feeling cold...wanting the warmth of another body.
A dog or cat or something might help, but I don't think that it would mean the same thing.
It is at these times when I really long for a significant other, one with whom I could share some sort of minor physical (and of course mental/emotional) connection.
I wish so strongly that I had someone like that to hold and just feel their body heat.
And the conscious desire/yearn for such a thing just makes the cold feel colder, more stabby.
I don't know what the point of that was.
Told you it wouldnt be interesting.
