Lonely

I am missing having a best friend nearby.  I have 2 very amazing best friends who are very dear to me, the problem is they are over 2000 miles away.  Yes I know there are phones, email and other avenues of communication.  However sometimes it would be nice to sit down with a friend face to face, someone who knows all the ins and outs of your everyday life.  So if you say "remember Joe from work?", they would say "Oh heavens yes, what has he done now?", and then you can go into the story without a lot of back story.  You can also reciprocate and ask "What about Fred at your work, is he still on his wearing all orange kick?", and the conversation would go on and on, and switch topics a hundred different times.  That is one of the hardest parts about moving away from home. 

A lot of my favorite people from work have left recently so I have lost that bit of friendship too.  People always say we will still be friends, but very few really do.  I am hoping to make a very good friend out here who I can be there for and have them around for me.  I am not looking for a one sided friendship, I would be happy to be a good friend to someone too.

Those of you reading this back home, don't read too much into this post, promise I am not depressed, just yearning :-)
