These past few days have made something really crystal clear to me: I am far too far away from the majority of the people I love.
This is not at all to say that I don't have some great friends here--I really do. They are small in number but by far make up for it in amazingness, and I am really, really lucky.
Most of my friends, however, and all of my family, save Mark, are very far away. Several times in the past 24 hours I've heard on the phone or read in an email, "I wish I were closer..." And y'all, I wish you were closer, too. Or at the very least, I wish you were in one place, so I could go there, too. But you're all over the place, and that's the worst thing.

We're never going to agree on weather. Somebody is going to have to give in.

I totally agree. Any idealistic or over-acheiving goals I may have once had have been largely supplanted by one: to have my job, spouse, family, and friends all in the same state, or pretty close to it. Given limited opions for employment, I can't see how this will ever be possible.

Hey, man I am just hoping for job and SO in the same place, here, and I can't even get THAT together. If only the people who give us all money could be convinced to give the rest of us money....

I didn't realize that weather was the problem, I thought it was the places we all agree on are way to expensive. Though I do you know some of you diss NYC, so this is me looking sternly at you for such abuse of my future home. Grrr!
