The Late Nights and the Early Mornings

[megajinxed]

I work at 5:15am which means I need to leave my flat, looking respectable, at 5am. I get ready in the dark or in the bathroom. Sometimes I stumble over a pair of ill-placed shoes or I bump into the bedpost on my journey to kiss a half-asleep Peter goodbye. I embark into the chill air of fast-approaching Wellington Autumn in darkness lit by the

I certainly don't have the deep unspoken connection you guys have (or ever will probably) but I have sort of similar feelings, mostly about the being alone. Because yes, I go out and do enough fun things with various people or alone, but I feel lonely still sometimes. I panic a bit after spending the rare 24 hours with my vampire when he leaves, like I've just been shut in a silent, dark room. It's silly, but...It's also harder that he lives an hour away and works the 3rd shift with nights off changing all the time. I guess I've always been more used to the time apart. And not surprisingly I'm quite the Negative Nelly and say bleh things all the time, heh.

Who is your vampire? And yeah, loneliness seems to find us no matter what. We just need to remember our friends in those moments and think of them as close by.

Oh, my vampire is what I call my current bf since he sleeps during the day and does like blood. He's the keyboardist from my old band. You know, the one who's not officially divorced yet and has a kid....I pick weird, stressful people.
I also need to plan more things with the people that are close by, but I think we're the same in that we don't, heh. I find that sound (music, movie, etc.) helps to silence lonliness. And wine.

Oh I didn't know! That's good! Sometimes people have families and things change. But hopefully you make each other happy!

Yeah, I don't talk about him on LJ because his soon-to-be ex wife (and, obviously, my ex friend now) is on my friends list and I wouldn't be surprised if she checked it now and then.
We do have good times together. More when the weather stops sucking, ha.
