Friend of mine the other day said, "Portland is a great place, there's a lot of stuff to do. But it sucks to be in alone in this city, without someone to do stuff with."
I gotta say I think she's right.
It's hard for me out here. I feel very lonely. I don't have folks around to drag me out to do fun stuff when I'm feeling down or withdrawn. Or check up on me when I'm not feeling well. Or pester me when I need to be pestered. Or make me laugh.
Feels like if I were to die out here, it would be days before anyone would even notice.

Okay, Shirley, who do I need to call to have come and bug you? I would come out there myself, if I could. Do Deb and Wes not live near you anymore? I thought that's part of why you made the move. I will be praying for some fun, wacky people to come into your life up there. Any cool co-workers you can hang out with (now, I know they wouldn't be as cool as me, but at least give them a try...). :0P Remember, your thought of much from over here and we are going to get closer to you. I haven't sent out an official update yet, but it looks like we'll be moving to Ohio! Anyway, hugs from the east coast and stay upbeat. Start writing about fuzzy little bunnies or something. Or maybe...badgers...http://www.badgerbadgerbadger.com/
Unfortunately, We leave a bit of a distance away these days and my schedule sucks for getting together.
But we are making more of an effort to get together, since SOMEone just told us she was feeling lonely.
Yeah... umm... unfortunately, I'm one of those people who, if left alone, will end up collecting empty boxes and talking to herself.
...oh wait, I do that already...
I have many faults. The inability to speak up for myself is one of them.
