alone in a crowded room
July 19, 2002 8:01 p.m.
Mikie finally found someone. I'm happy for him. But at the same time, it makes me all the more aware of my own alone-ness. It seems everyone is pairing up or pairing off. Jennie has her bondage boy, Bryan. Christy has Chris. Patti had a boy... but sadly, that is no more. It feels like I've been alone for so long.Being here tonight just makes me more lonely. The rain is pouring outside, and Jennie and Patti are on their way to upstate New York and Karen's house. Mike is doing his laundry somewhere in Ohio. Jess is getting ready for Sue to visit. And I'm the only one here on campus. It can be so lonely here.
I wish I could fast forward through time to the end of August. To the end of this oppresive heat and humidity; to the end of this crushing silence.
