Weee!
My old SCA friend beau_nidle and his fiance were on their way to Orlando for a week and were passing through. He gave me a call and we ended up catching a late dinner at Rosario's. Funny how when we meet we're always eating italian.
It was good catcing up with him. His fiance is a wonderfully sweet woman who works with the Nashville ballet and symphonic orchestra (er.. i think that's the right one). Both he and Quu had a great time talking about germany. It was fun listening to all the different places he's been, foods he's eaten. It was just a fun evening.
It really hit home how much I miss my old friends in Memphis and the SCA. I've lost touch with just about everyone. But, like my therapist said... I get back in touch and it's like we've never been apart. Things to catch up on, but no awkwardness. That part is the only thing that I find reassuring. I mean.. what would you rather have: sit around, bemoaning and depressed because you miss your distant friends; or going on with your life, remembering the fun times, and enjoying what little time you're able to have when you have it? Some people I really do miss... I want to go hang out, grab a drink and food and catch a movie... anything. But I try not to let it bring me down. Instead I'm trying desperately to get my life in order so I can go back and visit those distant friends more.
I hope I can go to Samhain up in memphis this year, it's Orc Wars time again.
