A lonely weekend
Just feelin' kinda down this weekend.
All of my friends are out of town, busy or just unavailable to hang out with.  It's a Final Haven weekend, so that's where some folks are.  Others are just occupied with other things like working and the likes.

Lately I've tried to reach out to new friends, but that hasn't really worked out the way I'd hoped.  I mean, it's not their faults they haven't been available, or are moving away and are stressing about things and I understand that.  I just wish I had other friends around here that weren't LARPers, maybe gamers, but hopefully artists or people I could hang with and just feel comfortable around.  I don't really even know other outlets (at least right now) where I could easily meet folks.  Lately I've relied on the internet... a good place to be annonymous and open with folks at the same time, where you don't have to deal with crowds, loud noise, drunks or the uncomfortable way of breaking things off if it doesn't work out well.
I do get that the internet is limited, while there's many more options available out in the real world... but it just seems like maybe it's getting a bit too late in the game to try to meet folks unless I'm willing to start drinking, smoking, getting into sports or doing other things I really don't have any interests in anymore.   I do have folks I'm familiar with online and are... "friends" of mine, but if we were to meet up in real life, I don't know if that chemistry would still be there.  Internet friends are a whole other thing.

So, yeah.. just kinda feeling blah today.

I cannot vouch for others but I have been insanely busy. For example, I'm only just now seeing this entry, due to being too busy to actually spend any appreciable time online. 8B

Also, as of a few minutes ago when I saw yer message, I'm pretty pissed, too. In case it wasn't abundantly clear.

Blind-sided as well

I responded back to your PM with a PM, but I figured I'd try to reiterate here too.

Regarding this post, I hope that you saw that I don't blame anyone for anything they've done. Life happens and I understand that. If someone didn't want to be around me, or interact with me, I'd expect them to just tell me.

Regarding the PM, I can't view what I wrote to you, but it was never meant to state that I thought you were actually trying to avoid or ignore me or anyone else. If the words were ever typed, I can only assume they were meant to be in playful jest, and not to be taken seriously.

I can't imagine a state of mind I would have been in to seriously suggest what I think was read into whatever it was that I typed, and I'm sorry for the bad energy that came from it. I know you've been crazy busy with both the hours and the people at work, as well as family things, activities and injured loved ones.

With our prior conversations, I thought it was pretty clear that I didn't expect a whole lot and was happy just to occasionally get to talk to you. I never asked for much and the idea that there was even enough contact to be considered "ignoring/avoiding" me seems a bit odd. So I'm trying to figure out what I typed, and the context of it that would make you think that I thought you were seriously avoiding or ignoring me.

I'm really confused, and if it turns out that it's just a silly misunderstanding, I'll be happy to just consider it another lesson in life and be happy to continue on as friends. But if, for some reason, you find that you don't want to, I just hope you can understand that I didn't mean to ever intended to mean what you think i did, before letting me go as a friend, and I just ask that you let me know and I will no longer bother or harass you (otherwise, a curious cat can be a heck of a bothersome thing, consider that's how I found you in the first place. ;) )
