well, I had originally planned to have a costume to enter the masquerade ball at Aresia this year, but alas, I sit here with the framework of my mask still not finished, let alone covered and ready for public consumption. not to mention, the rest of the costume. money and time have been at a premium. I'm taking it with me to work on, but my latest creation has been a story that I'm writing. personally I have a feeling that the book will be finished before the costume. I do hope to have the costume done in time for ICON in new york. I have a few people who are looking forward to seeing it.
in other news, another one of my friends is preparing to leave, into the mists of life, wether I hear from him after he decides to move is up to him, but I hope I get to see him before he does. I told him earlier today that I dont count many people amongst my friends, I have many many aquaintances, but few whom I call friends, I love each one like family, and would do anything in my power to help them. Unfortunatly, he is in one of those situations that I have no power in. The most I can do is be a shoulder to cry and an ear to listen, and a pair of arms to hug if he needs it. Other than that I am stuck in the frozen bowels that is New Hampshire.
I went through this once before when a dear friend of mine decided to enter the military, I was proud of him, if a bit cautious, I got nothing but bad feelings about it, and unfortunatly my fears came true, thank the gods it was not worse than it was, as he is still alive and kicking, however he is going to be in pain for a long time due to an injury. Of all my friends,he is the closest, with the one that is about to leave a close second. I hope that he is making the right choice, I understand the need to leave, as I had the same issues when I had to leave. Survival takes precidence over all things when confronted with it.
text cannot convey how much someone cares about someone else without sending mixed signals. the word love has many many meanings, to love a lover is different than loving a friend or a family member. To say that I love anyone takes alot. I love all my friends, because they are there for me in my times of need. My family is loved because they have been there, my friends are loved because they ARE there. dont think that by leaving the viscinity that you wont still be loved. If I dont see you before you go, good luck and you damn well better keep in touch, lest I track you down and duct tape your head to your monitor till I get an email. >:^)
