The past weekend has been seriously action packed. A friend came up to visit, and I got many of my other friends around Berkeley to join us. The entire weekend, I wasn't alone for more than two or three hours. However, those hours came after my friend left, and those hours were some of the saddest I've felt in a while (which doesn't say much as I've been pretty happy all summer, i.e. it's not as if I was crying or bawling). It was sad to see my friend leave, but even sadder to recognize that I would be leaving soon, and that I would probably not see these Berkeley friends for months if not years if not ever. Another one of my friends is leaving today, and it has invoked a similar, though more subdued, reaction (probably cause I've had it once before).
Most of the people I'm leaving are on IM, and I will talk to them there, but it's different. You act differently on AIM than in person. To some extent you're more open (I certainly am). However, you don't hear people online. You don't see people online. And, you can't hit people online (which is important). Occassionally, I can't imagine them saying some stuff in person that they're saying online.
In preparation for SB, I'm considering starting a new SN, cause my current list has overflowed. I could delete people, but probably not enough to accommodate as many new people, as I predict myself acquainting (perhaps I'm being overly optimistic). "Quazgar" is currently the leading candidate, as it's my "gamer name," though I have no idea if it's taken or not. But I should think of some other candidates.
