You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode

Ok, so here's a quick rundown of what's going on with people and places I care about:

Bri has been in band camp since Monday, and will continue to be through next week or something. Then school starts for her. So she's around, and I haven't left yet, but I already miss her.

KJ goes back to the Navy on the thirtieth, which is the day after tomorrow. If Harkins makes me work a double shift tomorrow, I'll tell them, "that's too bad, because I'm not coming in for two shifts." He's leaving for probably two years, and I don't want to miss my last chance to see him. Cos I know I'll be missing him soon.

Amanda is working the same shift I am tonight, so we're going to hang out before, and I'm gonna give her a ride home afterword. Right now I don't want to get too close though, since I'll be going back in a month. And I don't want to miss her too badly.

Shaun goes back to Tempe to get settled into his new place in a week or two. I'm sure we'll talk plenty. But I'll still miss him.

I haven't gotten a hold of Andria recently.

As for places, I have realized that no matter where I am, I miss the other place.

So I'll be going back to Flagstaff in a month, and I'm looking forward to another long hard cold winter. I'm a little homesick for Flagstaff, and I guess I'm getting mentally ready for the ol' grind again.

I'll be leaving in about a month, so I'm going to miss it here.

It's funny, and I don't know if I've mentioned it yet on here, but I grew up in the desert, and my whole life I've loathed the desert. the ugliest place in the world, I tell you what.

Then, last fall I moved to Flagstaff, and I was like, "wow, Flagstaff is so beautiful. Much better than that stupid desert." But something changed, and when I came back down I said, "Holy shit, the desert is beautiful too. What the hell?"

I guess Flagstaff gave me some perspective. Y'know, like I had always just been too close to see it.
