Back from the dead

So yeah, lots has happened since I last posted. I've developed plantar faciitis, been to the podiatrist for it, been on naproxen for it. Been working like crazy, and got some sort of infection that included rashes in my left ear piercings, hives, and extreme fatigue. Went to a ren faire this past weekend which was pretty good, but the aweful 2-hour-late train ride back Sat. night ruined the weekend, as well as repulling the muscles in my neck and shoulder. It's feeling better today, so hopefully I can get some chores and packing done.

I can't believe I only have 20 more days till I will be in Ireland. There's so much to do still. I really hope my feet continue to get better soon, because I would love to take advantage of the free dance classes at UCC, and maybe even teach ballet over there. I've talked to the other girls going to Cork through interstudy, and they seem pretty neat. Most of them are partiers, planning on clubbing all the time and picking up guys and the such.... just not my thing. But who knows, maybe they'll pull me out of my shell a bit.

I'm more than a little disappointed in some of my old friends. It's just sad that we've grown so far apart that no one can seem to make an effort to keep in touch with me anymore, no matter how much I try. I guess it is time to cut some ties completely, but it's so hard to let go. At least this trip will do it for me... no one unwilling to put some effort into talking with me is going to with me thousands of miles away. *sighs and shrugs*

Hey, cheer up... You know it's obivious thing when people grow... All people past through this... Know, usually real friends come at 30-40 years... But it doesn't mean you couldn't have good time and company before... Just don't take it so close to heart.. Life is as a river. You are not able to enter same water more then one time... Old people go away, new people come..
P.S.
You are kind girl, smart, and you have unique personality... So don't be dissapointed... Wish you succed in Ireland :-) You could always call me for moral suuport

Does it really matter? I prefer to stay in shadow.

"You could always call me for moral suuport"

How am I supposed to call if I don't know who to call?

I gave you a pretty awesome hint in previous message ;D Probably solving charade will raise your mood a bit. Let me know if you want another hint. Anyway you could call me here.

Anja said...

I'm guessing you mean the shadow comment, but unfortunately, that could apply to many people I know :P

Ok. Last hint which will end intrigue I think. Sigh. "You are so beatiful and invisible, as this rose". Pity, little game stops.

Okay... I feel stupid... still lost =_= I'll blame it on me being exhausted

I'm back from Japan and I've just had time to discover your new blog. I'm still sad that I didn't get to see you before you left. But here's some comfort from a girl who's moved a lot and very far more than once. It's always still possible to reconnect and even if there isn't communication, it doesn't mean that the feeling of friendship has died. I have friends that I fell out of contact with for years... and years later out of the blue we just start up again from thousands of miles (or atleast hundreds) away. Because even if both of us were unable, for a period of time, to get our acts together and chat online, or by phone, or by letter... we still thought about each other, and wondered, and cared. Besides which, as James mentioned, in this day and age, you'll hardly be cut completely off from us. And really, you won't be gone for that long. Even a year seems like it would fly by, judging from my summer internship. A lot can happen, but a lot also always stays the same. And I'll always be available for rants or triumphs and such via email or my cell. I bet you're having a great time. And don't worry if you hit a snag... it seems to be a requirement when away from home, things'll pick up soon! *HUGS* Best of luck!!!
