Bozeman. I feel so stuck here. One more of my closest friends just moved away after graduating last December. He moved to California. This was okay though because his girlfriend (another close friend of mine) was staying here, and it was just a 5-6 month internship chasing around sea birds. Well his girlfriend just informed me that she's moving to California as well... so there's no ties for either of them to come back here for. It's very likely that I won't ever see them again unless I have the money to go to southern California for a visit.

Losing friends has been the basic theme this semester. My best friend went abroad, and isn't coming back for good until next fall. I haven't been away from him for this long in the three years I've known him. I've always been the type of person who relates better with guy friends and this semester nearly all of my closest ones have left. It makes it difficult. They were so easy to be friends with, friendships with my lady friends is much more time consuming. Time is the one thing I don't feel like I have.

I've met so many people from bands out on the road this semester, but they always leave, it's inevitable. I was so looking forward to 10 days away to not think of anything and just be with my best friend Claire in Boston. But I have the flu, couldn't go, and I'm basically stuck in bed, alone. Being sick is the pits. Being sick with no one to take care of you is hell.
